Willow's gone home.

[ the broadcast begins abruptly and buffy's voice is hard. not soft and vulnerable like when she had announced xander's disappearance. this is because she has had a full hour to herself in willow's now-empty room. she had gone in to set a batch of freshly laundered sheets on the witch's bed, all set out for when she came back ( Read more... )

Dear Annie,

I'm sorry.

Yours,

Jack

[ after supper, buffy checks her journal and is heartened (and not wholly surprised) to find something -- anything -- from jack. ]

Dear Jack,

So am I. She's going back to a rou--I'll miss her.

[ a slight scribble; was she about to write something else? ]

Buffy

Dear Buffy:

So will I. Nice girl.

Jack,

Pretty much the nicest. Makes me the lady of the house, now. Not peachy keen with this.

Why not, Annie?

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:00:37 UTC

What kind of lady of the house leaves her warhammers on the living room floor?

[voice | locked ] lists_to_port March 11 2011, 20:18:11 UTC

The very best kind, actually. I understand there's nothing I can do for you, Buffy, but I don't have to like it.

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:20:28 UTC

I just have to keep repeating to myself -- going home is good.

[voice | locked ] lists_to_port March 11 2011, 20:30:33 UTC

For your Willow, you mean--not for you. I mean--not her. For you.

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:34:54 UTC

I mean that it's safer there even if home's not safe -- because she was behind me and I know she makes it at least to the time I came from. Guaranteed.

[voice | locked ] lists_to_port March 11 2011, 20:36:50 UTC

Did you have any dreams of a strange nature?

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:38:53 UTC

For her? No. It...Jack, Willow was from a few years ago. So if she just goes back and lives life like she was never here then she'll catch up and go through all the things we'd already been through. Same with Xander. It -- it's already happened. I know it happens like this because G...[ giles. ]

[voice | locked ] lists_to_port March 11 2011, 20:41:02 UTC

No, no---I meant before she left. Before she were sent back.

...What's this about Giles?

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:44:59 UTC

Nothing. No warning.

[ a few other dreams have slipped through, though. scarier ones. ]

He's back -- he's from a time even further than me, now. He was behind, before. Being here didn't chance his timeline.

[voice | locked ] lists_to_port March 11 2011, 20:47:14 UTC

[There is a long pause. Then:]

Glad to have him back?

[voice | locked ] slaying March 11 2011, 20:48:18 UTC

If I say yes, does it undermine my whole going home is good chant?
