[ 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.

[The bar, huh? That's a place where this guy crashes in pretty often but has never really rped with Buffy yet wtf. Normally he asks for coffee or whiskey at times, today after sneezing he's just asking for juice and sitting sheepishly at the bar.]

[ it doesn't take her long to bring over a tall glass -- complete with ice cubes and a cute little umbrella. she likes dressing the non-alcoholic drinks up. ]

There you go.

[He nods slowly and stares at the glass, he kind of expected just a plain glass with juice. Poking the umbrella a bit.]

Thanks... I don't think I've seen you dressing other drinks like this before.

It's the little things that we do that foil boredom's evil plans.

[flamesofanger]

[He laughs a bit at that.]

It's not that bad, is it? This peaceful life, though it's not as if it tends to last long...

[Action]

[slaying]

It swings from mostly tolerable to horrible with kinda frightening regularity, yeah.

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

Uhm... It's not that horrible... I've seen worse.

[Like when they were running around Hell. Takes a sip.]

[Action]

[slaying]

Most of us have seen worse. It doesn't mean that this isn't horrible, too.

[flamesofanger]

I suppose... But it's hard to think so when comparing it. It takes a while to get used to this place though... Or maybe that was just me.

[Action]

[slaying]

No, it takes a while.

[ she's simply been here for two years. the adjustment is just about done. ]

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

If it's okay for me to ask... Have you been here for long?

[Action]

[slaying]

Hmm. It's fine -- it'll be two years at the end of this month.

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

I see... It will be a year for me next Monday if I remember it correctly.

[It feels so strange to think that it will soon have been so long. Ikki shifts a bit uncomfortably at the though.]

I don't think I am really used to this place yet.

[Action]

[slaying]

It takes a little over a year, I think.

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

That comforts me a bit. I thought it was just me.

[Action]

[slaying]

Nope. You're not alone.
