Mel's still in the bar. Sometimes in the rafters, sometimes outsid, soetimes actually on the floor. Her movements are erratic because, well, she looks to be fidgetting.

Right now she's in the rafters. Cartwheeling form one end of one to another in a movement that looks like the Slayer equivalent of pacing restlessly

Comments

[balletrat]

Nice form, *comments someone from the ground.

The someone sounds rather like she's beaming.

A lot.*

[slayer_fray]

It's not really. The balance is there, sure, but someone's never gonna be a dancer and she knows it.

Mel flips to hang by a hand and drops down.

"You died."

It's almost accusatory.

[balletrat]

- er. Yes.

*The beam fades, a very little, but still hangs on valiantly.*

- well, you went to Hell. Voluntarily.

*Turnabout's fair play!*

[slayer_fray]

"Yeah, I had a job t'do."

Mel beams brightly enough for both of them.

"And I never drop a grab."

[balletrat]

- so you got it? What you went for? *Meg says, her own grin returning in full force.*

I knew you would.

*. . . . this is not the hero-worship you're looking for. Shutup.*

[slayer_fray]

"'Course I did." Was there really any doubt?

Mel present the silver and onyx amulet for inspection.

"S'a bit dainty for my taste, but it does the job."

[balletrat]

*Meg peers at the amulet, duly impressed.*

- shiny, *she says, approvingly, and yes, she does mean it in the original sense of the word.*

Is it just nice jewelry, or does it do something special?

[slayer_fray]

"S'posedta protect the Slayer," Mel says. "Faith says she can feel somethin' powerful strong there."

[balletrat]

- well, that's useful, *Meg says practically.* Though 'protect' is sort of vague - I mean, does it strike demons down, or give you immunity to deathly diseases, or make sure your underwear stays clean or what?

[slayer_fray]

"Y'know what? I have no idea," Mel admits. "Though I reckon my healin's got quicker, and I've been harder to hurt since gettin' it."

[balletrat]

*Meg giggles.*

Sounds like enough of a plus to me.

Also, tres chic, so double purpose!

[slayer_fray]

Mel smirks. "Not my usual style, but I reckon I can pull it off.

"So how've things been apart from the obvious?"

[balletrat]

*Meg considers this for a moment.*

- complex, *she offers, helpfully, and then -* Better now you're back.

[slayer_fray]

"Well, good," Mel replies, alhtough it has been a bit of a theme. "I'd hateta think I made things worse."

[balletrat]

*Meg giggles.*

- okay, maybe it was sort of a statement of the obvious, but, you know, I've never been great at the deep stuff anyways -

[slayer_fray]

"Well, me neither," Mel agrees. "S'goodta be back, though. Missed this place."
