...I'd be more worried if I were asleep.

...I'm not asleep, right? This isn't a...someone pinch me.

I like it. Has a certain grace to it.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's mostly what mine at home said.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Nice. We don't really do burials at home, so all of ours are hypothetical.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I think it's better with the coming back part. No coffin to dig out of, no head stone to sledge hammer to bits when you come back because it bothers your little sister and also not a party for you.

...so if you don't bury you...and how do you come back from that?

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Well, I buried Dean the first time. But he was dead for four months. We're not usually gone that long.

As for how we come back in one piece? I guess whatever brings us back usually heals us.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I guess it makes as much sense as how Willow brought me back in one piece.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

And the truth comes out. The heroes of the world are all secretly hoodoo zombies.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

It's the super secret powers that come with the hoodoo. I"m pretty sure Willow just called it dark magic though.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Dark magic's some pretty heavy stuff. Hoodoo is more spiritual, at least in our world.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I didn't really ask the specifics because I thought it was kind of creepy but I'm thinking it was more the heavy stuff.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

That's probably for the best. The details always make things complicated.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Exact-mundo! Hence the not asking questions.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Good policy to follow. I like it.

Why? Why did you have to be cursed today of all days? Like we need to remember that it actually happened when the world is already falling apart around us. If you were anywhere near me right now I'd be the pinching monster for a good hour or so.

Dawnie, it doesn't mean anything. It's just a...thing. I'm fine. Promise.

[ voice ]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

You of all people shouldn't assume that. You know this could be an omen -- a bad big scary omen.

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

It's not an omen. [She doesn't know that but she's trying to comfort Dawn] I'm okay and this is just a sick joke.

[ voice ]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

...some joke.

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Next time Xander is here I'll talk to him about giving the City a lesson on humor.

[ voice ]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

Mopey all around, that's me.

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Less mopey. More bouncey. I'll come home and we can watch a movie or go dancing or something fun.

[ voice ]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

The City going crazy and we should be bouncy? Faith is rubbing off on you.

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

We're not supposed to be bouncey. We're not supposed to dwell on stupid curses that don't predict anything though.

[ voice ]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

Okay, fine. They don't predict anything. [She's so waiting for an I told you so moment, except that that would mean Buffy is dead so never mind.]

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Oooh I think I like when you agree with me. [Yeah there's that downside]
