So, um, what does meme stand for?

[summers_day]

I guess this is as good a way to say 'hi' as any, but. . .well, last time I was cyberwired, there was no such word as "blog," much less "meme." And hey, doesn't "blog" sound like something ugly? Like a bleached frog? Or a. . .bloated dog?

Somebody needs to consult with me before they invent words. Clearly.

Wow, you really like cheese.

[summers_day]

Well, here's the way I look at it. . .I spend most of my life trying new things. I need to have a couple constants that I always go back to. So -- cheese. And you know, the really lame American kind. Mozzarella if I'm really daring.

[chris_halliwell]

Sounds like as reasonable an explanation as any.

Most people just get a pet, but hey.

[queen_c_tm]

Buffy! You're back! Or... wait. Who are you?

[summers_day]

Cordy?

*frowns*

Is this a trick question? Buffy Summers, known you since 10th grade?

Saw you last in L.A. before. . . *before you died*

Oh. So. You too?

[queen_c_tm]

Obviously, I know who Buffy is. I'm not a mental case or anything. But you're not the same Buffy... wait, do you remember anything from the past year?

Me too, what? Back from the dead? Yeah, who isn't these days? Don't tell me you died AGAIN. And what about the baby? Is she okay?

ooc: Sorry for all the questions. Poor pup is seriously confused right now. *g*

[summers_day]

I'm not. . .the same? *Uh-oh, she doesn't like where this is going. Not that it would be the first time* You're not expecting me to be a robot or a vampire or something?

I remember. . .things, just. . .well, sometimes it seems like enough to account for all the time that's gone by . . .and sometimes it seems like much much more.

*wait a minute*

BABY??? Where did you hear. . .? Who would say something like. . .? *And then she realizes that she does know someone who absolutley would come up with a story like that, just for the hell of it.* You didn't get that story from some guy named Todd, did you? Or. . . he might have been calling himself Marcello or. . . Sergei, it depends on his mood.

>>I like cheese<<

Abundantly clear.

[summers_day]

. . .

Warren Meers? You of all people cannot be contacting me to hear my feelings about CHEESE.

*locked*

Did you build another robot? Is that why nobody knows I've been gone?

And didn't Willow flay you enough?

LOCKED

[i_warren]

Sure, but not you. I'm flattered, though. Really.

Also, I'm doing good, thanks for asking. You?

[summers_day]

*NOT locked*

Last time I saw you with your skin still attached, you were trying to KILL me. With a GUN. I don't like people who try to kill me. And I really really don't like guns.

Why would I care how you are?

[wesley_w_price]

Dear lord.

Buffy?

[summers_day]

*tries to suppress a smile; he always strikes her as so serious, she doesn't want to risk offending him -- they're just communicating by email now, but somehow she imagines the smile could make its way through the keyboard*

Dear lord.

Wesley?

*breaking character*

Sorry, but why all the British exclamations? I mean, you're the one who's supposed to be dead. If anybody has the right to look shocked, it's me.

*smiles*

Hi, Wes.

I'm glad you're well. You are well, right?

[wesley_w_price]

*Wes stares at the computer screen in near horrified panic. Why hadn't he been told? He was supposed to be told these sorts of things...*

Buffy...where are you? I've been looking everywhere for months! You were kidnapped...

And I've been not dead for a long time.

Good lord, it's the memory spell, isn't it? Now you're back to being you, but you've forgotten...?

I am well. Yes, of course, I'm well.

[summers_day]

Of course you're well?

I'm not sure that's such an "of course"-y thing. For years, it seemed like every time I talked to Angel, you'd just been shot or almost-blown-up, or punched by an angry power-walker. And the last thing I heard, you guys launched a suicide attack on Wolfram & Hart. OK, clearly, I should have hung around to see how that worked out. But when I heard about it, it was too much for me. I took off from Rome, and after that I guess I sort of went bush.

Oh God. Bush. He won again, didn't he?

No, don't tell me -- or tell me or -- don't -- I don't know, tell me if you think I want to know. Also, American Idol? Fantasia or Diana?

But me, I'm fine. In some ways, I've never felt better. I'm glad you care, but no need to be a drama queen.

Unless --

*remembers what Cordelia seems to think*

Wes? I hate to say this, but I may not be the Buffy you're looking for.

[not_a_eunuch]

Buffy. It's been awhile since I saw you in Italy with that Todd jerk. I hope you're doing well.

[summers_day]

Well.

Oh.

Angel.

It's nice to see you. Doing well.

So that suicide mission thingy didn't so much work out?

I mean, I'm glad it didn't. I think?
