[Jilly had been quiet since the love experiment and draft. It had been too much, in too short a period of time, and she’d needed to think. And one of the ways that she did that best was with her art. She’d gone out occasionally, little forays into town or the woods to stretch stiff limbs and replenish her dwindling supply of groceries, but ( Read more... )

Are those legends?

They are! Kickaha legends, mostly.

Not the angels one, though. I'm not sure who came up with that one.

They sound interesting. Mind if I ask about them?

Not at all! I'm not an expert. Joe always told the stories better, and Christy was the one who collected them. But I know a few.

[Jilly's not the only one out in what most would call terrible weather. Amelia's reaction is far closer to amazement, however, than the sheer joy the other woman shows. She's staring up into the sky, soaked within minutes of stepping outside, but--how on Gunsmoke could she not? She's never seen anything like this in her life.]

[catching sight of the stunned woman, she'll stop her giddy dance, stilling herself into something calmer...more observant. That kind of stunned awe...it's powerful enough that she watches for a moment, before moving to join her, a smile in her voice and on her lips] It's really coming down...

[Amelia's too caught up to notice Jilly until she speaks. She jumps back a bit in surprise, but quickly relaxes--at least back to how she was when Jilly first saw her, at any rate.]

Yeah. This--this is rain, isn't it?

It is.

...I'm gonna guess it isn't common, where you're from?

[ despite the rain, McCoy is outside today and shopping for supplies in order to improve his house security. his train of thought is derailed when he notices Jilly splashing in puddles nearby and he raises an eyebrow at the dark-haired girl from underneath his umbrella. ]

[no umbrella for this one. Her hair is plastered to her head from being out in the deluge too long, but her smile only widens when she spots him] Doctor!

[waving one hand, she'll stop her spinning long enough to seem more like the adult she really is, coming over to join him]

[ Jilly can prance and skip over to him all she wants, but it's not going to save her from the inevitable rebuke. although it is heartening to see her more cheerful after the last conversation they had and his lips curve into a slight smile. ] You enjoying the weather, kid?

[ buffy summers awkwardly watches from the bar's doorway. jilly looks so free, out in the rain. enjoying it. did she envy that, too?

when and if they make eye-contact, she smiles. at least it's genuine. ]

[there's a small falter in her step when she recognizes Buffy. There's was a lot left unsaid and a great deal more implied the last time they'd talked. But as the Slayer smiles, so does the artist, and she gestures for the blonde to join her]

Come out! It's not snow and it's beautiful!

[ rain has all kinds of terrible associations for the slayer -- though these associations were being slowly replaced by how common it could be in luceti. still, she was usually hesitant to go out in it. so uncomfortably wet and impractical and she hated having to change out of soaked socks or damp sweaters.

but jilly has a point. not snow and so she steps into the shower with a hand held a few inches over her head. paltry protection. ] Beautiful's...not the word I'd usually use.

[holding her hands out palm up, letting the rain slip through her fingers, Jilly just tilts her head back to grin at the sky]

But it can be. Water and life and a new season coming through. It's change. [and right now she really, really was ready for a change]

[Jack has been very busy in the village, preparing for his expedition out to the seaside. He now has a pack loaded with supplies for the journey and has one more stop to make at the clothing shop when he spots his friend dancing in the rain. With a smile, he sets down his pack to join her.]

Hallo, Jilly. May I have this dance?

[she smiles to see him. The weight of everything is still there, waiting to be dealt with but, for right now, they're just friends in the rain]

Do you have to ask? [reaching for his hands and just..spinning. Silly and carefree and fun]

Ha! [He holds her hands, slippery in the rain, and tries to spin with her. It works for a few spins...]

[But then his Death Penalty kicks in: Jack's equilibrium is not what it once was. The motion begins to make him feel sick and dizzy, and he has to try to pull her to a stop.]

Jilly...!
