[ Jacen's message had come through loud and clear. Sure, he'd said it wasn't that he didn't have faith in Buffy's abilities, but being left behind was new territory for her and she was sure she didn't like it

Scoobies minus Willow filter

[nomorevengeance]

I like her better when she's a lesbian.

[slayerdom]

She's still Willow. No matter how she's ... oriented.

{filter}

[nomorevengeance]

Yes, but now she's temptress-wanting-to-cheat-on-people-with-Xander Willow. I know, it's why I first came to town!

[slayerdom]

And now Xander is, like, a bajillion years older than her. They've gotta be suffering a wicked disconnect to begin with just from the four years that Willow doesn't have and Xander does, I seriously doubt their first reaction's gonna be "ooh, kissy faces." Besides. Willow's with Oz. She's very adamant about ... being with Oz.

You're twenty? I missed two birthdays? [Well, she knows she did but it's still sad, okay?] Can I... throw you double the parties?

[slayerdom]

With all the things that could go wrong in this galaxy, are we really calling a double-sized Buffy birthday bash a good idea? Maybe we could double the quiet. Or cake! I am always encouraging of double the cake, even if my thighs may not agree.

[uberwitch]

...Your birthday parties do kind of end up... messy.

Doubling the cake it is.

[slayerdom]

Personally, I'm feeling chocolate.

[perspectiveguy]

And why do you think Willow thinks you've gone to lady loving?

Buffy and Xander }

[slayerdom]

Well, there was just -- I mean, it wasn't like I was actually coming onto her. She just ... thought. That I was. ... Strongly.

Buffy and Xander }

[perspectiveguy]

...How -- how -- what did you, was there, like, closeness? Proximity-wise.

Buffy and Xander }

[slayerdom]

I guess? Just ... friend closeness. Standard Buffy and Willow closeness. But I was trying to see if ... you know. Maybe she was thinking she could be. Even though Tara's not ... you know.

Okay, admittedly, not my best plan.

[Spike is annoyed that he didn't get to join the rescue mission, but it's not Buffy's fault. And Jacen wouldn't know that Spike wanted to come with. So he just gives her a slightly worried look.]

What is it?

[private | video]

[slayerdom]

No serious face necessary. It's just -- Lightsabers. Seeing as you're on your second now, I figure the whole having one probably makes you an expert, right?

[private | video]

[breakmychest]

Third, technically, but yeah. I know a bit about them. Why?

[private | video]

[slayerdom]

Well. Jacen said that I should start researching. Uh, them. And how the whole building of one happens. While he's gone. [ This is a very evasive look. She's trying to avoid outright asking for help. ] And, I just figured since you knew and all that ... you could ... [ gesticulations go here. ]

[Scoobies Minus Willow FOREVER]

[yodaknowswhat]

I didn't tell her about you and Satsu!

{ditto that}

[slayerdom]

... Good to know, Andrew. [ Said in the judgey tone of 'well, I didn't think you did, but now ...' ]

[yodaknowswhat]

....Satsu who... Is a guy. A very manly... Asian... Guy.

Who wears teddy bears on his armor.

[slayerdom]

You can stop. In fact, please stop. You're embarrassing us both. [ She laughs. ] I'm not worried about who knows about Satsu. Considering Satsu hasn't even entered my address book yet, it's not exactly my most closely-guarded secret. It's --

... Does she really wear armor with teddy bears?
