42nd Slay [Video | Action]

[There's the sound of a splash, then some muttering as someone slogs their way out of the fountain. When the video finally shows something besides the water in the fountain, it's a very wet, unhappy Buffy Summers.]

Thanks City. I think you probably made me ruin my record.

[ooc: Buffy's back. I sort of forgot to do this until now. ANYWAY she's updated to the end of the S8 comics now.]

Ah, not dropping the coffee is a good thing. How was home?

Not so great. Here is kind of better. There are just more of my friends at home.

People you can check up on and then back to here?

I guess which feels like responsibility ducking to me but...yeah.

Buffy?? Is that the fountain? Are you in the fountain? I'm coming okay? With a towel. Don't move.

Re: [ voice ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Dawn.(that's relief in her voice because Dawn is still here.) I'm fountain soaked. A towel would be great. How long was I gone?

[ voice ]

[identity profile] the-dawnster.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Almost two weeks. Too long. Are you okay? Is -- everything okay?

Re: [ voice ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Everything is not okay but we're working on making it that way. [She sounds tired, haggard and worn. It'll take her a few minutes to get her cheerful face on.]

Where are you from? Post crazy apocolypse 2011?

Re: [ voice ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd be me. And how do we save the world and I still end up enemy number one?

[She's clearly still doing the 'keep smiling and it'll all be alright' thing.]

In the way of sense that isn't with the sense-making.

[And here's Dawn with a towel. She spreads it out long-ways and envelops Buffy in a hug with the towel between them to soak up the water.]

Re: [ voice > action ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Buffy accepts the hug and the towel gratefully.]

If you start making those noises with Aya, I'm moving out.

[ action ]

[identity profile] the-dawnster.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
We are never talking about those noises around Aya, okay? [She's kind of terrified of Aya leaving her. So no. She's keeping her big mouth shut on that issue. But she does hold onto Buffy for a little bit longer.] Are you okay?

Re: [ action ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's okay. Buffy's not minding the holding.] In the way that I'm not remotely but I'm a brave little toaster, yes.

[ action ]

[identity profile] the-dawnster.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
We can both be brave little toasters... except I wanna be the four slotted toaster and you're only the one with two slots. Oh, and I do bagels too.

Re: [ action ]

Why do you get to be more versatile? Maybe I want to be a toaster oven.

Toaster oven? Does anybody even use those anymore? They seem so -- I Love Lucy and Mary Tyler Moore - ish.

Re: [ action ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course people still use them! [She doesn't sound too sure of this.]

[Dawn just arches a brow, pulling back to put her hands on her hips.] I'm gonna go with no Scotty. Be something relevant.

Fine. I'm a food processor. I chop, I dice, I slice and I julienne not to mention mix, mash and mince.

[identity profile] the-dawnster.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Much better. How did we get started on kitchen appliances anyway? I forgot.

I have no idea. I can't keep track of our conversations.

Welcome back. I thought you were gone for good.

Re: [ t e x t ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a character flaw. I keep coming back when you think you've gotten rid of me.

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That prick Nathan's back too. But Sam's still missing.

I'm glad you're back.

Re: [ t e x t ; PRIVATE ]

[She can't really remember who 'that prick Nathan' is or Sam but she gets his point. Some people haven't come back.]

That prick Nathan and I are just lucky that way.

Thanks. I...am okay with being back. Things are easier here anyway.

[ t e x t ; PRIVATE ]

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You were gone for about a week.

You okay?

Re: [ t e x t ; PRIVATE ]

[Congratulations, Pyro, you've managed to chip the 'keep smiling' armor she's been keeping up since before she got back to the City. She doesn't cry, exactly, because Buffy doesn't cry much anymore but she does do the tight throat, chest aching, stony thing. Because of this, it takes her a little while to get a text message back to you. However, she's supremely grateful that it's text.]

So much of the no but--I will be.

I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

Re: [ t e x t ; PRIVATE ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Give me some time to absorb and I might take you up on that.

Thanks, John

Alright.

You take care.

Re: [ t e x t ; PRIVATE ]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. We'll talk later.

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose a welcome back is in order?

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Consider me welcomed back. I could have done without the wet.

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Understandably. At least it's not freezing anymore.

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
And I am a thankful Buffy for that. How crazy was the City while I was gone?

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Usual amounts of City crazy, nothing spectacular.

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It definitely is. I think we've had our share of excitement in the last few months.
