[Apologies don't come easy to Buffy. She's entirely too bossy for that so when she finally speaks, her words are a little hesitant and flipped around to divert this whole apology thing]

So...the whole humiliation thing...thanks so much City. Because pulling a Xena warrior princess thing isn't enough I also have to do the Romeo and Juliet thing. Okay so not quite Romeo and Juliet because no one died and hello been, there done, that. Romeo and Juliet totally had it easy. Not that that's the point here...

John Pyro, I'm deeply in the throes of apology at the moment. Not that the kissing was---good. I mean it was...nice and the--[her voice pitches up a good deal on the next words]really nice. [A very long, dramatic, PTB please kill me now sigh. She's pinching the bridge of her nose and it comes through in her tone] And now I'm going to stop with the speaking.

Except...Aya...I'm sorry but if you marry my sister before she turns 25 I'll beat you. It's not a you thing. It's an age thing.

Dawn...you're grounded until you're 24. [Not that she thinks that will really work.]

Hello, Child of the late 80's early 90's, I actually know who that is and his hair is way better.

Why do you keep missing the main point of what I'm saying?

...maybe. It... got mixed up in the laundry plus it looks better on me.

[designedtoparty]

You're supposed to know who that is. And lay off the hair. I'm very proud of it.

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Not on any normal person's schedule, at least. So who'd you marry?

Re: [ voice ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I'm not the point missing person here. I get it. You're grown up. I'm telling you that you are still my little sister.

[A gasp and shocked face] It so does not look better on you.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I guess you have to have something you're proud of.

Re: [Audio]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Marry? [Yeah that's a bit of a squeak] Oh. Me. Nobody. My little sister on the other hand...her boyfriend.

[designedtoparty]

I'm proud of many things. My face, my cock... the way the accent rolls off my tongue like a lover's kiss. The hair's just a part of the overall package.

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I get it. Okay so you were the gladiators in love part? Or was that your sister too?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Hey, delusional is totally a valid life decision.

[designedtoparty]

I prefer to think of it more as self-appreciation.

Re: [Audio]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

No. I was part of the gladiator in love curse.

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

Then quit treating me like a daughter!

And... yes it does. My legs are longer. Good for skirts. They're skirt legs.

Since Mom's gone that's sort of my job.

No. It doesn't. I'm hip-less and that's better in a pencil skirt.

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Okay so... how did that curse work? I mean I get that you might have been a gladiator but the rest is lost on me.

Re: [Audio]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I was in love with a guy I hardly know but in the curse...I knew him and there was another guy with a crush that was jealous and I was afraid they, the romans who came to see the fights I guess, were going to hurt Dawn because of him and me and the jealous guy and then I was afraid they'd hurt John and basically a train wreck which is kind of what romance is, isn't it?

[Audio]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a cheesy romance novel to me, only not so cheesy with it being real and all. But not all romance is a train wreck, just some.

[designedtoparty]

It's the first one. Pah-tat-toe just sounds like a speech impediment.

Re: [Audio]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

So I've heard. It was nice while I was cursed. More mortifying now.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Open minded really isn't your thing is it?

[designedtoparty]

Not really, no.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I do apologize for what happened. I only ask that you not punish Dawn for this. It was never her fault.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

At least you're upfront about it.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Don't...worry about it. She thinks I'm being ridiculous and it's not you or that I think marriage is bad even though it seriously freaks me out. I just don't want her doing something so huge when she's so young, you know?

I like you, Aya. I wouldn't have agreed to let you move into the warehouse if I didn't.
