we are sitting on the throne of contamination dead, dying, diseased, hid in the shadow

Kat is chasing birds in a parking lotThere is a scientific reason for the chasing of the birds. She swears. Which would be why she's incredibly annoyed at how difficult wild birds are to catch. All she needs is a stupid bird. If it didn't have to be wild, she could just go to the pet shop, but noooooo, it has to be that bird. The one right there. ( Read more... )

Xander is wandering around, too, looking for Tabitha. Talk of waffles brought him away from his journal, which apparently exploded metaphorically speaking. Sparkles are a controversial subject! Who knew?

Beyond that, he has to decide if he's going to mention the conversation that he had with Tay to Buffy. On one hand, no Deadboy. On the otherhand, ... no Deadboy. He doesn't really want to see the vampire killed or that it would be nice to have another person from home, here. He's just having a hard time admitting those feelings. And he's pretty sure if he said it out loud, he'd have to finish it off by puking.

He doesn't usually like to look at people and go, Hey, they look like they're dying! But it's about all he has to go on description-wise. That and tiny, blond but... that works for Buffy, too.

But if there was anyone that ever looked like they could die at any moment, this girl does.

"Tabitha? It's me. Xander Harris. From the journals."

"Um! Like, hi!" Tabitha says awkwardly, shoving her hands into her coat and giving him a smile. Waffle buddy! This is going to be awesome. Right. She can't tell him why this is awesome.

But that's okay! They can have waffle-y goodness and coffee and yes.

"Small world, huh?"

"Hey," Xander says, smiling back and stopping in front of her.

He is glad that he got it right!

He still has no idea why she would want to have a waffle with him, but maybe she knows Willow or Buffy. They might have put in a good word for him. Still. It's weird.

"The smallest," he agrees, waving a hand in the air in some vague gesture or other. "I'm glad you weren't offended by my entry on sparkling vampires. But instead thought I was awesome because of it. I'm a little surprised that sparkling vampires lead to a whole lot of fucks and a waffle but I can deal. I'm good with the dealing and the rolling with the punches. Or... in this case, waffles. Rolling with the waffles."

"While S. Meyers personally and probably spiritually offends me on many levels, I always appreciate a well-crafted piece of sarcasm and -- I always appreciate people with your level of expertise on such subjects such as vampires," Tabitha says, bopping her head happily. Things like this are always the subject of her daydreams. Hanging out with pretty awesome fictional characters.

Possibly not going to get waffles. There were more adventures in her daydreams as a kid. But still!

"We will make an adventure of waffles," she says, smiling happily and kicking her feet. "I like adventures."

Topher rarely leaves the lab anymore, because he's going to have a breakthrough any moment on this whole Calling thing, HE JUST KNOWS IT. But he also knows that he needs to pick the brain of one of the local professors at the college who specializes in supernatural studies and... Hey, what is Kat doing?

Topher stares at her for a moment, just watching. "You know... That thing is probably diseased or... Will peck you to death. Or bring reinforcements! Haven't you seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie?"

"Oh birds, come what may!" Kat says, making very, very annoyed noises and threatening to fling the net at the bird itself. "I have to catch it. It happened to eat a vial that happens to have something in it that could basically destroy the world. Well, maybe not destroy the world. But it would probably kill a lot of people if it broke. Well, at least really, really makes them sick. No, it would probably kill them. Mostly angels. This is all Katja's fault. All, all, all Katja's fault. Stupid bird why won't you just get into my net I need that vial back or else ROCKS FALL EVERYBODY DIES."

She turns, giving Topher a dejected look. "I guess I could just leave it..."

Topher stares more.

"So... You're telling me that one pigeon stands between us and humanity's destruction?" He pauses and then waves his hands. "Are you an insane person? You don't just leave it. It was bad enough when you were talking about zombies, which... BTW? I still don't believe you. And I would've told you that before, but I still find those journals skeevy."

"I'M TRYING TO CATCH IT!" Kat points out, flailing in the general direction of the bird with her net. Which is probably a bad idea because they're both flailing and that never ends well. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WAS TELLING ME TO LEAVE IT. And no, I'm not an insane person I'm just horribly apathetic when it comes to stuff like that. I mean, it's going to be used to kill people one way or another, right? And I don't get to choose who it kills, so. But fine. I'll catch the bird. WATCH ME CATCH THIS BIRD. And I so made a zombie virus. It's not actually a virus, but it definitely makes zombies. And if you want proof, you can come down to the Kat-Katja lab and I will prove to you that I have a zombie virus. I am so tired of no one believing I can do half of the things I can do. It's been my entire life. 'OH, no, Kat, that's not possible. Dr. Kirschenbaum, I can't rightly believe your research.' No really. I understand no one else can do what I can do but that doesn't mean I didn't do it. It's moment's like these that just make me want to ( ... )

Romeo doesn't put much effort into his search for Kittentits. It's not as if it's ever hard for him to find her and this certainly isn't an urgent matter. It never is urgent with her. His time spent with her is just... for fun. He's strolling down the sidewalk, picking up easily, almost offhandedly on the individuals around him. Eventually, he senses that she's near so he walks toward her.

This should be interesting. It always is with her, which is largely why he still bothers interacting with her. Also, she's his. And he gets... a little possessive.

When he finds her, he doesn't approach her or say anything. Romeo stands at a distance, leaning against a wall and waiting for her to notice him.

Kittentits is in a fucking fantastic mood today. She trolled someone's journal something awesome. And she had a fucking fantastic meal.

She's still licking her fingers, looking incredibly pleased with herself and almost walks past him. And then freezes. And stares.

It's amazing, to see how she goes from overconfident cocky bitch to kicked puppy in two seconds flat. She wilts, giving him an awkward smile. There's blood smeared on her face still, which is even more embarrassing.

"I'm not in trouble," she points out, not sure what to actually say to him, considering she's not doing something dumb.

Romeo smirks at her reaction. It widens into a smile at what she says.

"No, you're not," he agrees, pushing himself away from the wall. "I must admit that it feels a little miraculous to not have to pull you out of another mess."

He begins to walk away from her, expecting her to follow, knowing that she'll follow if she knows what's good for her. Apparently, she has learned. He'll keep putting her to the test. It's necessary.

"So. To continue our conversation from earlier," Romeo raises an eyebrow, turning to look back at her. "It is nice to see you sticking up for vampires now." Romeo is entirely too aware that he's just quoted himself. "Such a change."

She pads after him, glancing around and still sucking on her fingers. Still hungry, but that can wait. It's her own fault anyway. She lets out a soft whine at his question. She'd hoped that Romeo would have waited a bit before asking her to answer that. Well, no such luck apparently.

Not that it's even a question.

"S'Wanderer's makin'a mess," she mumbles around her fingers. Her hair falls in her face; she's even looking physically better at this point. Taking better care of herself. "S'not same fing."

Kittentits is well aware that for a good long time she didn't see a difference between the two, but well, there's only so long she can keep laying that game without going crazy. Crazier. She glances away when he looks at her, though. Eye contact is so not happening right now.

As hard as he is to understand sometimes, Luka likes 040798-332. So when she sees a tiny Asian woman hitting him with a newspaper, she immediately grabs the newspaper and tries to yank it out of her hand. "That's not nice," she tells the woman emphatically.

Turning 040, she smiles at him brightly. "Hello!" she says. "How have you been?"

The tiny Asian woman is not happy to have her newspaper taken away from Luka, nor is she happy with the tone that Luka is using with her. She splutters out some long streams of Mandarin at Luka that attest to at least that much.

Seeming a bit oblivious, 040798-332 doesn't look directly towards Luka as we impresses, {situations, life, moments: things} are just {same, monotonous, always: is}

Choices only change how things are a little. They can't change the big picture. There is something on top of this woman's store. An antenna of sorts. We needs it.

((Sorry this reply took forever. Life has been kicking me in the ass lately. XP))

You know what, tiny Asian woman? Luka can't understand a word you're saying, so she is just going to ignore you. Well not completely ignore ignore, because it's not a good idea to turn your back on someone who might get violent, but she is going to talk to 040798-332 now.

"Well, it's good that nothing bad has happened to you," Luka says.

Scientific reason or no, Josef is left confused. After the confusion has dwindled there might be amusement, but mostly he is very confused.

His keys are dangling in his hands, as he was walking back towards his car when he recognized Kat, and now he is just staring at her with his head canted to the side.

"You know, if you want a pet, I've heard cats are the way to go."

"Oh my goodness," Kat says, as if it hasn't been a million years since she's seen Josef, but more like a few days. "Can you even imagine me with a pet? And I am definitely not cat lady material. Oh no, no, no, no. That would just be weird and awkward and no good. And I'd probably kill it. And that just wouldn't be nice and we all know that I am a perfectly fine, nice, good upstanding individual. Which would be why I'm busy saving the world right now."

Kat tosses the net over her shoulder, turning to look at Josef with a grin. "There is evil inside of that pigeon, I tell you. It has a very, very nasty biochemical agent inside of it that might destroy all angel life as we know it. And that just would not be a very good thing to let loose in the city. People might start saying mean things about me, and yeah. It's just no good at all. ...Pigeons would make the worst pets ever. However, it might be fun to put in someone else's lab just to annoy them. After I get the vial out of it's rather long neck."
