007 }{ field mice, head lice, spiders in the kitchen

[ As the video resolves from blurriness, Oz's red-haired head appears in the camera, and then moves away. It's clear from the scenery that he's somewhere at the base of that new mountain, and he seats himself on a piece of exposed rock, slipping off a pair of iPod earphones, tucking them into his pocket which muffles the quiet

You okay there?

[ananticlimax]

That depends on how we're using our words today.

[awillowywitch]

There could be a scale. 1 is kind of not okay and 10 is kind of okay?

[ananticlimax]

Physically I'm like a 10. Maybe a 9 because it's a little humid up here. Mentally I'm like a 7, mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing. Which isn't new for me. But usually if I'm confused I just give up and do something else, you know?

[awillowywitch]

Well, you could always blame Giles for being a slave-driver?

[ananticlimax]

I think this was one of those 'for your own good, Buffy/Xander/Willow/Oz' kind of field trips on his part. So.

Am I allowed to ask if you're okay?

[awillowywitch]

Yeah, 'for your own good'. Giles-logic is not like any other logic.

In scale terms, like a -1 or -2, maybe? Or a 0, even.

[ananticlimax]

I think it might have actually worked this time, though.

I wish there was anything I could do to help. The way things stand, though. I doubt it. I'm sorry.

[awillowywitch]

Well, the jury's still out.

Eh, I think this is one of those things where I mostly need to help myself.

[ananticlimax]

As juries tend to be.

But you deserve friends at your side. You've done a lot for other people when they had it rough.

[awillowywitch]

Those sneaky juries.

Right now I'm feeling like I haven't done many helpful things at all.

[ananticlimax]

Well your feelings are big lying liars.

[awillowywitch]

Maybe.

[ananticlimax]

Definitely.
