With all the mess that's happening I'm calling girls night. Pick a movie.

Hey, it's Elena. Do you have any jobs?Elena had needed to get out and clear her head. She'd left a note for Jenna in case she wasn't back when Jenna got home from work and had just walked, not really any direction or location

[Location: Sunnydale Playground]

[a_pretty_fire]

Even the Extra children - false eyes in false faces, playing without any real sense of enjoyment - knew to stay away from Drusilla's playground. It was still and silent. The tall trees cast long black shadows that formed a shroud against the sunlight.

And then there was the vampire that could almost have been a ghost. She drifted between the trees and whispered in the mind and, one day, she was sure to snap the chains that held her back when she was hungry.

One day.

For now, however, she would have to content herself with a picnic beneath the poplars. She poured Miss Edith another cup of tea - her own cup was filled with something warm and crimson - and tipped her to the side at the sound of footsteps.

"Are you coming to join us?"

Elena stopped when she heard the voice, turning her head more towards the playground. She hadn't seen anyone on first glance but she hadn't really been paying attention - she'd just noticed how creepy it was.

And then when she saw her she remembered the voice, finally placing it with who it was. And that didn't seem good. Elena didn't know why but she didn't have a good feeling about the woman, mostly because she liked Katherine but there was something else too.

"I was just passing." Getting out of there was definitely her better option.

With Miss Edith's cup full, Drusilla turned to face the new arrival. The playground was unnerving even for the vampire - heavy with the distant memories of her reunion with the Angel Beast and the considerably clearer memories of the day that the Slayer had saved her from the tin soldiers - but it was also the closest thing that she had to a home in Taxon.

"There's plenty of tea," she informed Elena. "And cakes. Miss Edith knows when to share."

"I'm actually not hungry." Which wasn't a lie - she hadn't eaten for a couple of hours so she would be soon but she didn't need anything right now, especially not in a creepy situation.

I can get other things from work to make the mess more bearable.

Check the map... Don't tell me you got lost.

[importanttoher]

Not lost I just haven't been here before.

And thanks. Other things sounds good.

[auntjenna]

Neither have I or I'd give you better directions. What's it like?

[rereremembered]

I might at that. Anything in particular you're looking for?

[importanttoher]

Just something to keep me busy.

You don't happen to play the drums, do you?

Nope, and nothing else.

I pick one that the Sheriff isn't going to like. Robin Hood? I think he kicks the sheriff's ass.

[importanttoher]

I like the idea.

[notgirlylittle]

I'll have to get it from one of those hatch things. I hope I don't have to sell a bit of my soul for it.

I don't think I've spent anything yet if you need some.
