[likevegeta]

I can.

[... ewwww buffy cooking. that's a worrying thought.]

[slaying]

[...of course you can, Andrew. Buffy will never forget you in oven mitts.]

Really? Like from the pumpkin before the men at the pumpkin insides factory put it into that teeny weeny can?

[likevegeta]

[Still can't beat that funnel cake.]

Duh. [A beat.] ... I mean, I'm not very good at the getting the insides out... or the stabbing. But I can make it.

[slaying]

Surprise, some of my best-honed skills are in the stabbing department. [Dryly.]

...You should show me how.

[slaying]

Or hardly working. [She puts in another fierce staple before turning--smiling--to Minato.] When'd you get a dog?

[slaying]

A lot of critters have been showing up. [She bends down, extending a hand.]

[moonlightoutlaw]

[... just looking at that sign. Frowning. Well, at least it's not in pink marker with hearts.]

Samurai Goroh... Samurai Goroh. It's not that hard. [Grumble, grumble. But Buffy is long gone by this point. He undoes all her hard work and pockets that flyer for later.

Speaking of later, he'll be at the bar. He doesn't notice her come in, but when she starts talking to her journal, he speaks up without turning around.]

A veteran now, eh?

[slaying]

More of one than you, at least.

[Her tone is light. Jaunty. This isn't a game of one-up-man-ship. At least, not a real one.]

[moonlightoutlaw]

Proud of that, are we?

[Everything is one-up-man-ship, Buffy. Everything.]

[slaying]

Of course. Just bursting.

[after_march]

[Buffy MIGHT come upon April examining one of the posters in the town square.]

[slaying]

[Buffy smiles at the sight of a familiar face.]

Thinking of signing up, I hope? [PR mode is a go.]

[after_march]

I don't know. I'm having a hard time picturing Samurai Goroh teaching anyone anything.

[slaying]

He's not so bad.

okay don't let me throw jack at you too. also, audio.

[steadfastest]

Interesting to see what being in this place for a long time does to people.

[slaying]

Xander. [She sounds apprehensive. Guilty. Defiant. Everything all wrapped into one Buffy-shaped package. The usual.]

[steadfastest]

Yeah? [He, on the other hand, sounds light and smiley. All is right with the world-y.] Glad to see you're out there changing hearts and minds, Buff.

[slaying]

[She wants to trust it. God, she does.]

I'm giving the people here the tools they need to make it in this place. That's all.
