The cider sounds good.

And I can loan you my grandmother's stuffing recipe if you want it.

[Yeah, that almost sounded like normal, right? He's still missing things, but has decided the best way to deal with it is to just...keep on keeping on. He's gotten a few more insights, so maybe the rest will come with time...]

[Voice] slaying November 13 2011, 14:36:06 UTC

I do. I do want it.

[ she had been hoping to hear from derek. her voice betrays it. ]

[Voice] derek_bliss November 13 2011, 14:57:57 UTC

[He's still not quite used to that, yet; being known by her. But so far, it's proven to be real. He'll let some of that oddly familiar warmth creep into his voice.]

All right, then. I'll get it to you in the next day or so. Gotta make sure I remember it right first.

[Which means he'll probably need to test out a small batch to make sure.]

How's it going?

[Voice] slaying November 13 2011, 14:59:24 UTC

It's...going. That's about as good as it gets. I'm okay. But how are you? How goes the settling?

Hot chocolate's pretty good on a cold day. Ain't had that in a while, though.

slaying November 13 2011, 16:09:55 UTC

...You'll have to remedy that, now.

pugilistinpink November 13 2011, 16:16:06 UTC

Sounds great an' all, but... I gotta watch what I put in me 'cause I got a match comin' up sometime. Gotta treat m'body right, y'know? [He chuckles to himself at the thought of Doc snagging his cup of hot chocolate before he would be able to taste it. 'Doin' this for your own good, son'. Yeah... he would have said something like that. A smile plays Mac's lips.]

You're talking about it like it doesn't do the body good. And that's just a lie.

[ hello, slayer metabolism. she can put almost anything in her system and stay fighting fit. ]

Jack heard that message, and the mention of the McCoy--beyond other cues--clued him in on how things were probably standing with Buffy Summers.

Probably not so well, though they've certainly had worse times upon them.

Later on, he will show up at Good Spirits and sit in his usual spot.

"OI! WOMAN! APPLE...apple...APPLE PIE CIDER. NOW. FOR MYSELF."

No one ever said he handled things in a sensitive manner.

She tapped the bar once and then leaned forward -- staring down the pirate from not-so-far-away.

"Do you need me to start listing the reasons why an outburst like that will never ever get you served?"

[action] lists_to_port November 13 2011, 16:17:04 UTC

"Aye. I would like a list, please, directly after you bring me my apple pie cider, woman. Make it lengthy and filled with veiled threats and warnings.

The list, not the cider."

[action] slaying November 13 2011, 16:18:48 UTC

"Oh. Sure. Because for a second there? I was confused."

But she straightened once again and reached for a wide, wide mug. "You are allowed to say please, you know. So maybe we've been over this before but I think it bears retreading."

I have no idea what Thanksgiving is, but am I invited? [:D]

[voice] slaying November 13 2011, 16:57:12 UTC

...You are absolutely invited. We need someone to fill up the grumpy senior citizen spot.

[voice] crisis_rain November 13 2011, 18:51:19 UTC

I'm not grumpy at all! If anything, I'm more like a big kid who hasn't grown up yet and just likes to complain.

[voice] slaying November 13 2011, 18:52:19 UTC

...Should I let you in on a secret?

What's boozed-up? [...] ...Hot chocolate is good. With marshmallows!

[Voice] slaying November 13 2011, 17:03:51 UTC

[ oh dear. a kid's voice.

buffy stammers: ] It means...huh. Boozing a drink up means turning it into a drink for grown ups. That's all. But I'm pretty sure marshmallowy hot chocolate tastes better.

[Voice] rollypolyclover November 13 2011, 17:17:18 UTC

Huh, a grown-up drink? ...Ohhhh, like a draft! Daddy drinks those! Banana juice tastes way better. But then there's hot chocolate too... [Hot chocolate or banana juice. Ah, the dilemmas of a child.] Yotsuba will take hot chocolate for one hundred!

[Voice] slaying November 13 2011, 17:19:30 UTC

...You know, I bet you could make hot chocolate with those banana marshmallows.
