09 [Video // Action]

[justwillow]

[You see Willow at work, in the store and she's quietly looking over a book, marking pages with brightly coloured sticky notes. What she hasn't realised though, that there's one stuck to her cheek, one stuck to her left arm and if you're lucky enough to be here in person? She sat on one and now it's happily stuck to her butt. The NV is propped up against her, there's a stack of books next to her and some festive giftwrap just in view.]

Is anyone good with giftwrap? I am so not good at giftwrap. It's awkward and annoying and it tears easily and why could Anya do it when I can't?

[She looks tired, and there is a big mug of coffee sat next to her. She yawns, before her eyes close for a moment and she looks at the camera.]

If someone could give me lessons before the big holiday rush? I'd appreciate it. I've been researching things and time... [Another yawn.] Time is getting away from me.

Time gets away from us all, in the end.

[justwillow]

I'm not exactly sure that's true.

[Hello Goddess Anxiety.]

[video]

[antedupmyheart]

No? Then what would you say?

[video]

[justwillow]

Well... Uhhh... my mortality is in question. I don't like it.

[antedupmyheart]

I'm afraid time cares little for such matters, though you've my sympathies, if it helps.

[It's typical of Willow to slack off just so she can read. Reading can be done on her own time.]

It's very simple, if you pay attention.

[justwillow]

I paid attention. But you saw what happened. It was all great this is going great and then blam! Shameful wrapping.

[It's not slacking off! do you see anyone in the store? No. THEREFORE ITS NOT SLACKING OFF.]

[noshrimp]

[Always be prepared!!]

It was terrible, but all you have to do is repeat after me. If you can raise someone from the dead, you can wrap a book. Unless you have no fingers.

[She picks up a book and a roll of wrapping paper.]

Now. Just do exactly what I say.

[justwillow]

[Oh goody. I get to be bossed around by Anya at work.]

Well I can't really let you do it here. Cause I'm at work.

[And my boss scares me a little bit.]

[noshrimp]

Then I'm at work too. Someone can pay me later.

[She's getting everything set up. She's not letting a vital retail opportunity pass by like this.]

[mediumdrip]

I'd like to help out! I'm decent at it. Not like Kurt though.

[justwillow]

Well, that sounds like an excuse for coffee and cake and silly giggly fun times.

[Lord knows she needs it.]

[mediumdrip]

That sounds excellent. When do you want us to stop by?

I can drag my fiance with me, since, like I said, he's better at this stuff. [Yeah, since Willow didn't reply to their announcement, Blaine is just going to slip that f word in to see if she catches it and reacts to the idea of him and Kurt getting married.]

[justwillow]

.... Fiance? Oh my god!!!

[Have a weird excited flaily movement.]

Spill! Whole thing! No details left out or so help me I'll turn you into toads!

[She giggles.]

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine laughs]

Well, we went back home for a little bit and stuff happened there that made me realize that I want to be with him forever.

A couple weeks after we came back I asked him to listen to a song I was working on, but it was really a proposal. He's wanted me to ask for a while so he basically tackled me with his yes.

[bratziska]

You can probably find an instructional book in the library.

voice;

[justwillow]

I could, but reading is something I've been doing a lot recently and plus the little diagrams are always so confusing.

voice;

[bratziska]

That's a convenient way to say that you're incapable of understanding them.

voice;

[justwillow]

Uhhhh huh. It's more to do with the fact that I'm tired and I don't want to deal with confusing little diagrams. I have enough of those trying to translate these.

[... Said with an air of OH NO YOU DIDN'T as she waves her arm dismissively over the book stack next to her.]

assuming that it's video on willow's end, yes? c:

[bratziska]

Yes, yes, people come up with all sort of excuses for their failures.

[ HEY, YOU REMEMBER SAM, RIGHT, WILLOW? ]

Getting started early?

Re: video;

[justwillow]

[AND THE FACT THAT HE DUMPED WATER OVER HER HEAD!]

No. Jewish, so not into the christmas present thing. More to do with work and people want to give eachother gifts and I have to know how to wrap them.

video;

[upstairsbrain]

[ NAHHHH ]

Right. [ Well, he thinks he can do that. ] ... I mean, I can help, if you can't find someone else to do it. As long as you've got the wrapping paper and some tape, it shouldn't be too hard.

[video]

[psychopath]

You just...fold it over...and over...and...

It's hard to explain.

[video]

[justwillow]

... Yeah. That's why I was all needing help with it.
