(o11)(video) ♐ sometimes it feels just like i'm falling in the ocean

[slayerdom]

[ Buffy's looking a little twitchier than usual. Mostly because she's prepared to broadcast while trying to … not think about elephants. Which, obviously, means she's thinking of elephants. … The elephants are a metaphor. Obviously. ]

And coming to you live from brain-broadcasty town, it's … [ awkward wave] Hey, guys. That sounded way

[incaution]

[What. Why are the threesomes having to be mentioned again? Jo just looks like she wants to sink into a hole.]

You know, I think you're more talky on the inside than anyone else here. You gotta win some kind of something for that.

[slayerdom]

Am I supposed to be grateful for this fact somehow? 'Cause right about now, annoyed is way winning out.

[incaution]

Better grateful than whining about it. Hey, I'm not any less annoyed. I'm just in a good mood today, s'all. Trying to be optimistic and all that.

[slayerdom]

I am so not whining! Okay, there's a little whining. And do I really need the good mood spiel? Seriously. If I hear one more thing about last night -- Great. Optimism. Right. Let's -- let's just focus on that. And not the array of mental images that I've got -- So, you can help me figure out what's making this happen and how we stop it.

[Dean has been really trying to avoid talking to anyone else on this thing, b/c uh, he'd like to keep his thoughts to himself, he really would. But now he's being summoned. Greeaaaat.]

Oh, so now we like Dean enough to talk to him.

[Waitaminute.]

...How the hell does she know already about me and Jo? That was last night.

PRIVATE;

[slayerdom]

Don't be a jerk. Impossible request #1. It's not like I've been ignoring you. We talk! There's been talking. Like -- Like with the festival, and -- [ Her brain and mouth both stop entirely for one brief, glorious second. Frozen. Processing. ] Did he just say ... [ And then her reaction explodes. ]

Last night? What happened last night? What was -- Oh my god. Oh, my god, you two -- And the -- Well, small favors, mental images can't be really thousand-words-conveyed out loud, at least. Although, right about now, wishing I never had that one.

[likedillinger]

... Forget I said anything. No wait, back up...

[hold on there was something else important in there. processing, processing...]

Wait, why are you thinkin' about Jo and threesomes? Not that I'd be entirely opposed, I just don't think she'd go for--

[oops]

PRIVATE;

[slayerdom]

[ Buffy's expression is just now ... filled with disgust and horror to the extent that she can't even talk. Luckily, her brain will give insight. ]

Is it even humanly possible for you to be more gross? I don't -- This is why I'm worried. This. Right here. How can Jo even pretend to convince herself he's all rainbows and unicorns and good guy status when he's -- he's icky threesome considerer.

[ She's ignoring the fact that she was ... thinking about it yesterday, okay. BUT NOT WITH DEAN AND JO, JESUS. ]

/That is a lot of random thinking/ A lot easier said than done when it comes to not thinking, hm? /Nice...Way to go Mr. Obvious./

[Looking slightly miffed, he clears his throat.]

Video

[slayerdom]

Way easier said. It's not -- I mean, the obvious is not to be blamed. Better to think about the obvious than -- Jo and Dean or Angel or -- bigger stuff.

[wunderbarbamf]

/Wow okay...!/ I won't even ask, I'll just pretend...something. Obvious stuff is definitely good. /Rain...think of rain...or Moira's coffee uuugh no not that coffee.../ So you're a jedi? Or jedi to be.

[slayerdom]

Padawan's the word. So says Obi-Wan, anyway. I'm pretty Force-handy, but lightsaber-building, that's a whole 'nother ball game. Superpowers I can do. Supertraining, I can do. Building? Eugh. Someone could have warned me I was signing up for -- for mechanicky stuff.

[pathtosacrifice]

There's a cave, on Dantooine, where there are crystals. It's where I got mine. [Omg, Buffy, you have the most beautiful thoughts. Catty will try to not be so amused by it.]

[slayerdom]

Great. I only have to go to another planet now. Is this like a -- a hike and stroll kinda cave or one of a spelunky variety?

[pathtosacrifice]

Nobody said being a Jedi would be easy~ It's a hike and a stroll and swarming with giant insectoid-like creatures.

[slayerdom]

Giant bugs. It's almost like going home. I'll be sure and bring my axe. Also, maybe some raid.

[notyourlight]

It's best you find your own crystal rather than buy one. Or you could make one. I've been working constructing a personal kit.

[Bless his little heart... everything he says is monotone because... well... he's ignoring those thoughts the best he can.]

I'm Anakin, by the way. Jacen's brother.

[slayerdom]

[ There's a weird sense of familiarity when she looks at him and her forehead creases a moment as she tries to rack her brain. ]

Buffy. Apprentice and friend of the same. Are you -- [ A pause. ] We haven't met, have we?

video;

[notyourlight]

[His expression doesn't change but he is glad there weren't any thoughts projected... from either of them.]

I don't believe we have. I only remember seeing you around on the network. Sorry I haven't introduced myself before now. I've been... distracted.

video;

[slayerdom]

No. No, I've definitely seen you before -- [ And then there are flashes. Not easy to remember, but ... they're there. Buffy's eyes go wide. ] Naked. Like, way naked. [ As opposed to just a little naked. ]
