Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[missed_the_gate]

Lazy was taking a new form of extreme when John decided to just chill in the common room after making a fresh pot of strong coffee

Buffy was either on the hunt for people or junk food, whichever made itself available first, which was how she ended up two floors above her own. "Hangover?" she guessed when she saw John.

"Only if hangovers extend to dancing," John replied. "But the need for coffee is strong. You?"

[iruinenglish]

"Noooo," she said, shaking her head, not sure how to even go about touching the dancing thing. "Well, the coffee's good, but I'm happy and hangover-free. Also, no food poisoning. So we're clear."

[missed_the_gate]

"Did I miss a food poisoning threat somewhere?" John wondered. "Should we all avoid Outback for a few weeks?"

"There was sushi out for a while last night.... Never mind," she said, shaking her head. "Good new year so far? Besides the coffee jones?"

[missed_the_gate]

"I'm liking it better already. Were you happy to leave last year in the dust last night?"

"Hm, how to answer that without sounding crazy. 2008 wasn't too bad for me, but 1998 could suck it, so yes and no," she said thoughtfully.

[missed_the_gate]

"Ah, that does sound sorta crazy," John admitted. "But it's Fandom, so I think I can skip calling the infirmary."

[iruinenglish]

"Yeah, that would suck so thank you," she said easily, like someone who had never been committed ever. "Gotta love Fandom and its scary weird time issues."

"I think the island likes messing with us all just a little too much," John decided, slurping thoughtfully from his mug.

"Aside from growing boyparts, it's kind of left me alone. Whew," Buffy said. "You get the mean treatment?" Yes she had been living in a cave.

"You might be my favorite person today for asking that," John smiled. He loved when people didn't listen to radio. "But yes, Fandom hates me and routinely sends little green monsters after me to ruin my weekend."

[iruinenglish]

She perked up. "Little green monsters?"

She might actually be that desperate to slay something.

"Gremlins," John nodded. "Are you as strong and stuff as the other Buffy?" No, John would never suggest someone go gremlin hunting and catch them all. Never.

[iruinenglish]

Buffy facepalmed. "Yes," she admitted. "Everyone needs to stop knowing her, god."

[missed_the_gate]

"Hey, she was all over this town my first summer here," John shrugged. "But since you are, you might consider going after the gremlins and saving the rest of us from them."
