I'm tossing this frisbee around, if anyone wants to join me. OR--there's a hacky sack, too. It's Thursday. Let's go nuts.

[Xander might be found in the meadow beside House 19, either kicking the hacky sack around or tossing the disc into the wind and trying to catch it as it flies back. He is determined to be HAPPY AND HAVE FUN, damn it, and to

[ HERE have a best friend. Willow shows up not long after to catch the frisbee in mid-air. ]

Want another hand there?

[ And she tosses it back. ]

[slayersidekick]

Our will's right here! [ Kind of sort of might have been a pun there. ]

I'm trying. I-it's really different from the kind of magic I'm used to, but it can do things like this. [ And she just sends a little of the wind magic towards Xander, not enough for him to see it, but enough that he can feel its pressure under the frisbee. If he lets go, she'll try to float the frisbee on her own. ]

You could learn it, too, you know.

[steadfastest]

[Xander watches appreciatively as the frisbee floats free of his loosened grip.]

Uh---it's COOL and all? But it's not really my thing, Will.

[slayersidekick]

[ She just shrugs and lets the frisbee return to, uh, probably the ground next to Xander. Her aim's a little off yet. ]

Guess I'll just have to bear the witch burden.

[ She smiles, but it's a nervous one anyway. She'll try with this whole thing. She really will. ]

[steadfastest]

And I'll continue to bear the burden of being the Guy With No Special Powers or Abilities.

[slayersidekick]

[ She gives him a sympathetic look. ] He's still a swell and helpful guy, you know.

[steadfastest]

I'm fine with it. At least I'm not an obvious target, you know? I can slip through the shadows, like Batman. Okay, not like Batman, but definitely like Batboy. Okay. Batguy.

[slayersidekick]

You're better at slipping through shadows than I am. Batboy is a suitable superhero name! You could be all sneaky and make with the dark side of night, but with a good guy air, not like the vampires and demons and other creepy things.

[steadfastest]

Good guy, dark side of night, not creepy. I like it! [Though he's going to end up with a Goku costume due to a guilt trip from Andrew by Halloween week.]

[slayersidekick]

[ She grins in response. ] Sounds like just your type. [ Pause. ] Think our frisbee time is gone, huh? [ Or the energy within. ]

[steadfastest]

Yeahhh, there's only so much fun you can really have on a Thursday.

[slayersidekick]

It was better than sitting around doing nothing on a Thursday. We could be bored enough to sit around and play a game of Twenty Questions. Which is still better than doing nothing, but not by much.

[steadfastest]

Are we really that bored, I ask myself?

[slayersidekick]

Hey, it's a perfectly acceptable pastime! Giles and I played it when we were stuck up on the roof after the teleporty day.

[steadfastest]

..........I repeat the question: are we really that bored?

[slayersidekick]

Probably not.
