[ it is late friday morning and buffy summers is attempting some tricky meditation techniques in an unoccupied corner of the barracks. a small (carefully arranged) pile of crystals sits a few feet away from her. without her ex-watcher's help, buffy is trying to sort out a little mystical inner peace and, without his help, it isn't going very well.

I know a few stories that probably wouldn't be too atrocious. [Probably failing to realize that he's exactly what she needs a distraction from. But, still. Levity. This is the best he can do under his own volition.]

[ written? hmm. she wouldn't have replied -- oh how she hates writing. so finicky. but it's giles. ]

Hit me with your best not-too-atrocious shot.

[He tries to think of one that doesn't end tragically. But most of these he remembers from his grandmother, from her training, and there were no happy endings.]

There was once a boy with a vampire for a father.

If his name's Connor, I've heard this one already.

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 13:47:14 UTC

I don't know if it was Connor. Sorry.

The man was human when his son was first conceived, but he'd been turned by the time he was born. Does that help?

[Written] slaying April 9 2011, 13:53:07 UTC

Yep. That's definitely a different story.

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 13:54:42 UTC

What most consider the strangest part is that the boy survived, despite his father being a part of his life for several decades.

[Written] slaying April 9 2011, 13:56:04 UTC

The father didn't try to eat him? Not even once?

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 13:57:02 UTC

The Council heard from the boy himself, eventually.

And no, he never did.

[ so jaded. she has to ask: ] And the mom?

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 13:59:24 UTC

The mother got away as soon as she could.

[Written] slaying April 9 2011, 14:02:06 UTC

...So she was the dead-beat.

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 14:02:43 UTC

Or she was scared.

The boy wouldn't say.

[Written] slaying April 9 2011, 14:03:37 UTC

If he wouldn't? Dead-beat.

[ she has some experience, here. ]

Re: [Written] consultmybooks April 9 2011, 14:04:36 UTC

She died a natural death.

So you may very well be right.

[Written] slaying April 9 2011, 14:06:12 UTC

[ she takes a long time to respond. dead mothers and vampire fathers.

no, she doesn't like this story at all. eventually, she lies to cover her long silence: ] Sorry -- rush of orders at the bar. Back now.
