Day one - Anders! aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:03:16 UTC

[And Buffy has just finished helping Anders settle into her home. He's staying in Dawn's room, as she only has two bedrooms. Earlier, Buffy had greeted Anders with a hug and a look of fondness, happy to have him here for the holidays, but still very sore and lonely from her sister's refusal to come back home for Christmas.

She's doing her best to be chipper.] So! I've got all of these lights that aren't going to hang themselves.. If you want, I'd really like some help. [Buffy smiles at Anders, leading him into her living room where there's a tree and boxes of outdoor decorations.] Or, not. Y'know.

Re: Day one - Anders! wardennolonger December 19 2011, 18:36:34 UTC

I've been here hardly five minutes, and you're already demanding things of me? I'm glad to see we're passed the honeymoon stage [Anders teased with a warm grin. The hug had been well received; he'd perhaps held on for a moment too long.

It was nice, having company this time of year. Didn't mean he wasn't going to be a smartass, though]

I suppose I could be troubled. I have this sneaking suspicion if I left you alone I'd find you tangled in a knot of blinking lights.

[Buffy rolls her eyes at him, smiling.] Ha, ha, Anders. You're giving me like, no credit. I'm perfectly capable of hanging Christmas lights.. [Probably.] It's just better with help.

[Buffy side-eyes him and starts to guide him to her closet, where multiple boxes of Christmas lights and decorations are stored.] And I'm really gonna try to beat out the Hoffman's this year with decorations. Who else can I count on to have my back?

Love that icon btw; SO cute ♥♥♥ wardennolonger December 21 2011, 00:27:44 UTC

[Anders hold up his hands in mock defense] I'm perfectly aware that you are Buffy The Holiday Master, I'm just saying that a knot of lights can be a little tricky~

[He follows, and totally does not sneak a longing gaze. Not even a little bit]

No one, of course. It's me and you against the rest of Christmas!

Working at the diner - Any day - Open! aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:09:38 UTC

[Buffy looks pretty exhausted. She has started on her MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS PERFECT kick and hasn't been much for sleeping. She's going through the motions, waitressing, and perhaps forgetting part of your order..]

Working at the diner - Day 4 grand_lotus December 19 2011, 10:06:36 UTC

[It hasn't passed Iroh by that Buffy's work has taken a turn for the worse, particularly over the last few days, particularly in terms of speed and accuracy. During a lull, he makes sure there's staff enough to cover any new customers and then approaches her at the counter.]

Buffy? [His voice is very soft.] Would you come into the office for a moment?

Working at the diner - Day 4 aboutpower December 20 2011, 10:50:46 UTC

[Buffy stops dead, trying very hard to appear casual.. Even though her reaction was noticeably delayed.] Sure. [She says quietly, her heart skipping a beat and pounding particularly hard once it finds itself again. Buffy knows she's been slacking majorly lately. Her mind has just been everywhere else, and today it's been the worst. She starts to follow him back.]

Day two - Merlin! aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:13:27 UTC

[Buffy is knocking on Merlin's door with a basket of cookies. She's baked some cookies for the whole town, and Merlin gets first try. HINT: They are not very good. Her cooking skills are questionable.]

Re: Day two - Merlin! takeyouapart December 19 2011, 10:02:30 UTC

[Still, Merlin doesn't know this yet although there may be some lingering recollection of last year's attempt, so when he answers the door there's a beaming smile on his face and no dread whatsoever.]

Hi, Buffy. [He steps back to let her in.] Er, do you want to come upstairs? My mum's on a bit of a baking thing right now.

[There are sounds of industry and internet-borne BBC radio coming from the kitchen door. Best to leave Hunith to her own devices when she's in a domestic mood.]

Day two - Merlin! aboutpower December 20 2011, 10:53:27 UTC

Hey! [Buffy smiles brightly at Merlin, and with a quick nod, agrees fullheartedly. She's in a pretty bright mood. All full with the Christmas spirit of giving and giving and more giving...] Yeah, no problem.

I brought cookies. And you get first try. [She says like it's a giant honor, following him into his house with a slight bounce in her step.]

Re: Day two - Merlin! takeyouapart December 20 2011, 12:56:34 UTC

[He smiles brilliantly, although he's somewhat wary about being rendered a test subject. The price of friendship.]

I'm...looking forward to it. Just go on up to my room and I'll bring up some coffee, yeah?

[This will probably end up taking longer than anticipated because the second he goes into the kitchen his mother will recruit him for something or other, but his room is spotlessly tidy - unimaginably so by the standards of a teenage boy. Everything he might conceivably be ashamed of is out of sight.]

ALL THE DAYS - Hoffman aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:21:34 UTC

[The past few days, Buffy and Hoffman have been having a silent war over Christmas decorations. Each outdoing the other, even if mildly...

Today they both happen to be out at the same time. She briefly glares over at his house while setting up some Reindeer on her roof. But there's a proud smirk on her face. Because she thinks she's gonna win this silent war of Christmas Spirit.]

Re: ALL THE DAYS - Hoffman expectremorse December 19 2011, 05:28:48 UTC

[Silent war of Christmas spirit? Mark Hoffman knows Christmas. He does Christmas. He gets this holiday and for the first time in forever he's got all of his family in his house so he's...working on something.

Something secret. Something he's been working on for days.]

[calling over] those are some nice reindeer.

aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:47:07 UTC

[Buffy gives him a delayed reaction on purpose, as if too ~*important*~ to respond right away. With detached interest she pulls her eyes away from her reindeer and smiles a fake smile.]

Thanks. [She calls back.] Your lights look extra-sparkly. [Condescending compliment!]

expectremorse December 19 2011, 05:52:51 UTC

[There's a low chuckle. Then a small child appears below him and he waves.]

...You know, the wife's got a Santa clause she'd be happy to let you borrow.

Day three - Shopping - Open! aboutpower December 19 2011, 05:26:20 UTC

[Buffy is deciding between some crucial ingredients in the baking aisle... Her cookies ended up not being so great. She wants to make them better.]
