[Considering the supreme social drama that was last week's experiment, Buffy has got it into her head to avoid the house. After all, according to her? It was pretty much her fault that Angelus was able to leave the house after the experiment took hold. Ergo, her fault that seven people

[ Sora has never been much of a stay inside person himself. So it's no surprise that he's up and wandering around. Oh and he knows you- cue him running over to say hi. ]

Hey, Buffy!

[ so how about it? Sora, he makes a pretty good distraction. ]

[slaying]

[Now, see? How could she not smile back at that face.]

Sora! Hi, how are you?

[crownwielding]

Ah, I'm good!

[ it's impossible not to, right? Sorry, Sora might be babbling at you a little. ]

Guess what? I have a roommate now, isn't that great! I might have to clean up the apartment a little though, but that's alright. I can take care of it. Oh, and I almost forgot, how're you?

[slaying]

[Oh, she can't bring herself to be any sort of a downer to Sora. Still, she's not going to lie, either.]

I'm okay--safe, well-fed, alive. Can't ask for much more than that, right?

Who's your new room-mate?

[crownwielding]

[ a small pause as he thinks it over. ]

The basics are always nice, but everyone deserves more then that. Happiness is what really counts, right? If there's anything bothering you, I'm a good listener. Who knows, maybe I can help!

Riku, have talked to him before?

[slaying]

Riku? Oh, yes. I have, actually. I gave him a little speech on how useful little speeches can be. I'm not sure he appreciated it.

[crownwielding]

I sure he did! In his own little way at least.

[ just going to give a short laugh ]

He can be pretty hard-headed sometimes.

[slaying]

He referred to you as the speechy type. Would he be correct?

[crownwielding]

Well, maybe.

[ more like completely ]

Sometimes a good speech is necessary you know? Always good to have one handy.

[slaying]

Absolutely. I was telling him about how, once, someone saved my world with a good speech.

[crownwielding]

Really, your whole world? Must have been some speech.

[slaying]

From what I heard, it was a pretty good one.

Words have power--just gotta know how to use that power.

[crownwielding]

Aw, man. Wish I could have been there. Maybe I could have taken some notes.

Right! You know what they say, the most powerful thing about a speech is the delivery. I think I've got that down pretty good though.

[slaying]

Me too, I mean. I wasn't there--a friend gave the speech and I just heard about it, later. He was talking his best friend out of ending the world, because she was--[she flounders for the right word, but decides to settle on one that she heard most recently from Riku, actually]--well? She was possessed, sort of.

[crownwielding]

Possessed, huh?

[ just going to give a thoughtful noise. ]

Just like Riku was. Well, your story has a happy ending, right? The world ended up safe, and that's all that really matters. You know, I've done some world saving myself, in my day.

[ and what you've just witnessed is Sora trying to sound cool. ]

[slaying]

Oh, have you now? [She'll happily play into his hand--time to hear about someone else's world-saving escapades!]

Now how did you go about saving your world?
