sirenspull | 001 ♑ video ♑ and the war came with a curse and a caterwaul.

[ At first ,all that's seen is dark. The occasional glint of light shining off of metal occurs, and the singing of the blade as it swings through the air can be heard quite clearly. There's a loud grunt, and a crunching, disgusting squelching sound. Another grunt, the distinct slicing of blade to hard flesh... And then a huge thud. There's a glass spider, laying dead now, in front of the NV. The click of heels on pavement approaches, and the owner of the NV picks it up and her face becomes clear.

There are some scratches, some bruising, and a bit of blood. Her hair is relatively unscathed though slightly more mussed than she would like to have kept it, and she's breathing heavily. The blonde peers curiously, and also with a very determined crease to her brow, into the NV. ]

Huh. [ She looks around for a second, then back to the feed. ] Safe to say I'm not in Manhattan anymore... So. [ There's a small thud as she plops down, sitting on the monster's carcass without much thought to it. She's not on a bloody oozy gooey part. No big deal. ]

What's a girl gotta do to find a decent dry cleaner's around here? [ Yep. Her clothes are all gross now and that's what matters. ] – And for that matter, some shoe-shine. I think some guts spattered on my -- my boots! Ooh, if I could kill another one of those I'd – do it... without my shoes on. [ Weird to say. ] – Okay, so, dry cleaning, good leather polish, and maybe a half-decent place to crash. Preferably fluffy bed? But a semi-squishy couch'll work in a pinch. Don't wanna get all cozy with the natives, cuddle-uppy and monster-vulnerable. And I am in serious need of a de-insomniatic napping attempt. Appreciate the neat phone-doohickey though! Nifty high-techish stuff. Way more expensive-looking than anything I had back home.

[ Wait. FOCUS. Focus, stop being distracted by shiny and new. ]

Soooooo… Anybody? Listening ears, big plus.

I'm actually kinda scared to ask just what he said, because... Well. Spike is Spike.

Nothing bad, don't worry. Didn't even talk about you that often. Probably heard more about his soap operas than about you. [ Not even remotely exaggerating. ]

If there's one thing I don't miss, it's having to watch Days of Our Lives on my days off of work.

God, he still watches that junk? -- Watched.

Named our cat after one of the characters. [ a beat ] Watched?

[ Because he's ~~deadish~~ gone? ] Since he's not here anymore?

You might want to try sounding a little more convincing. [ Give him a second... give him a second....... ]

Y'know, he told me something about thinking he'd died. Exploding. It was sort of common ground.

Yeah, he died. But that's beside the point. He was here. And now he's not, therefore the watchingness happened in the past and is 'ed' needing.

Got it. [ Peter misses him too. ]

[ ;__; awwwu were they bros? ] Anyway... It's nice to meet you. Ish.

[ Uhm.. bros is an understatement. The bestest of bro's. ] You too.

[ Best Frans 4 Lyf? ;A; ] I'm sorry. That he's gone, I mean. I wish I could've -- [ she stops. ] .. I should probably let you get back to whatever it is you do at night.

[ BFFFF'S ] Which isn't really all that much. [ Actually there's a lot he does during the night but.... that's besides the point. ]

I'm sorry too. That he's gone, but that's just how this place works sometimes. And i've had... a couple months to get over it. Shouldn't have said more than you wanted to know.

[ O. Sad. 8( Sowwie Peter. ] .. It's okay, you couldn't have known. Not like you're a mind reader or anything, right?

[ It's okay c: ] Actually-- I just don't make a habit of reading people's minds.

... No way, you can read them?

Yeah. Among other things.

Huh. Handy. My best friend would have a field day with your brain. I had telepathy once? But I couldn't control it and I got it from this demon I was fighting, and it just about ripped my head into tiny little 'splody pieces.

[ O-oh. Give him a second. ] Seriously? My telepathy definitely doesn't do that. The exploding thing, I mean.

Well, I mean, yours probably didn't come from demon blood seeping into your skin, right?

No, I got mine from someone else.

How'dja manage that one? Pretty handy trick.

Just sort of.. happens. Walk by someone with an ability, pick it up. I'm kind of like a swiss army knife.

You're like a superpower magnet. [ Stare. ] I hope you understand how extremely jealous I am of you right now. That's gotta be so useful! I mean - what if I could fly? [ LOL FUTURE CANON POINT LOLOL - ] That'd be amazing! Just by walking past someone else who can.

[ .... Snort, Buffy your excitement is amusing. ] Flying was one of the first things I could do, actually.

So jealous! Is it amazing? -- Or, y'know. Was. Since apparently that's past-tense.
