I had the pleasure of finally meeting Monica earlier.
//Firewall to all but Monica//
Monica: *stands at notice board, finding as many pins as possible and pinning up lots of sword shaped amulets around a new notice*
Tara: *approaches the bulletin board to see if there are any new postings*
Monica: *hums absentmindedly, accidently pricking her finger with a pin* Shit.
Tara: You okay? *approaching cautiously, as to not startle her*
Monica: *jumps* Oh, hey, sorry *holds up finger* Just a little accident
Tara: Didn't mean to startle you. *grins*
Monica: I'm Monica *takes hands in greeting* nice to meet you.
Tara: Nice to meet you too. *shaking her hand* I'm Tara.
Monica: Ahhh the other half of the Sunnydale wiccas *smiles* I got these charms as a kind of protective thing *gestures to notice board* not sure if they'll work but it was worth a shot.
Tara: *grins* Other half huh? Guess that's not a bad way to be known. *takes one of the amulets, looking it over* Protection amulets right? And if I'm not mistaken, also for courage.
Monica: Yeah, not very creative to get them all the same, but I'd have been there all day if I'd done otherwise *sucks her injured finger*
Tara: N-no, I think it's a great idea. We need all the help we can get. Doesn't matter if they're all the same. It's the thought that counts. *smiles thoughtfully*
Monica: Don't suppose there's anything you could do to enhance their effect? Enchant them or something?
Tara: O-oh, um....yeah, sure. I-I'd have to take them with me though, and then put them back up once I've cast a protection spell on them.
Monica: *grins* That'd be neat, I'd really appreciate it.
Tara: *grins back* N-no problem. Anything to help. Y-you're a watcher right? I think Willow mentioned you were.
Monica: *nods* Yup. I had the advantage of being at the council for 10 years, so I know a fair amount of you guys' backstory
Tara: *eyes widen slightly* O-oh, wow, the whole backstory huh?
Monica: *laughs softly* Up to about a year before that "earthquake" in Sunnydale. *winks* Jo and I are damn close ourselves.
Tara: *grins* I-I don't think I've met Jo. There's so many new people and this place is so big.
Tara: And…. I, um...wasn't around for that big earthquake.
Monica: *looks down* Oh, um, I heard about that *touches arm* I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up.
Tara: O-oh, its, um....i-it's okay, r-really. *slight grin* It's a b-big deal, I can't expect people n-not to mention it.
Monica: If you need to talk, I'm here. I may be a stranger, but I know how much it helps. I'm a big believer in tea and chocolate theory *meets eyes*
Tara: I r-really appreciate that Monica. *lopsided grin* And, I w-would have to agree on the tea theory. I l-love tea.
Monica: The English got something right *smiles and puts the amulets on the board into a paper bag* I could go grab some now if you like. *hands the bag to Tara*
Tara: *takes the bag* Actually, that sounds good. *smiles* And, I keep a stash of it in the kitchen. We can go down there, i-if you'd like.
Monica: Sounds wonderful *Ushers towards elevator*

We had a long chat over tea. She's quite knowledgeable with the Voodoo stuff. I enjoyed talking with her, she's very nice.
Also, I put a small protection spell on all the amulets at Monica's request and have pinned them all back up on the Bulletin Board.
