Dawn is back and this is a very good thing. At least I think it's a good thing. I am also aware I should feel guilty but I don't so....

John--Pyro is gone though.

I think it's a conspiracy. To make me gain twenty pounds. I just--the theory that the City feeds on us being miserable makes more and more sense all the time.

Hey, Buffy. I'm sorry. I talked to Dawn the other day, though, and... sounds like she'll be okay. She's adjusting really well.

[Charlie's at home, animals bouncing around nearby. And she's frowning.]

John's gone too, huh?

[the_dawnster]

Who was Pyro, totally weird name by the way. But I mean, is he another guy you kept in the basement?

Also, with the whole Slayer metabolism thing, I don't think you gaining twenty pounds is possible.

Glad your sister is back. Sucks when people you're close to leave though. Sorry, Blondie.

[voice]

[whattingawhat]

She's a little memory missing, but yeah, she'll be fine. I'm glad you guys talked. The more friends she has here the better off she'll be. Thanks, Sam.

[whattingawhat]

Yeah. I'm not sure when but I went by to check his apartment...[She leaves it unsaid that she checked the hall of missing after that.]

Sort of boyfriend and no, he didn't stay in the basement. John is his real name. He's a pyrokinetic. A real one.

Yeah, sometimes the slayer thing is good, but in theory...I mean I lose weight so...

[whattingawhat]

It's--It's probably better. I'm pretty sure he hated this place.

[rehashing]

Your sister's back. [ This is a good thing! ]

[skintoskin]

You know Dawn, huh?

voice.

[whattingawhat]

Yeah, she got back a few days ago. She doesn't remember being here before, but she's safe and she's doing the adjust-y thing.

voice;

[whattingawhat]

I do. She's my little sister. You know her? She may not remember you if you do. She's having a whole...anyway, yeah.

voice;

[skintoskin]

We had one conversation before she... went away, and a few since she got back. I don't really... know her, though she looks a lot like a friend of mine.

voice;

[whattingawhat]

Oooh oh. That can be hard. With the whole look alike thing. She's a good friend shaped person to have. If she weren't my sister, I'd want her to be a friend shaped person, a very annoying--that's probably just to me though 'cause sister.

I'm Buffy. Hi.

voice;

[skintoskin]

Yeah, it's... weird. She seems nice...

[He sighs.]

I'm Neil. Hi.

voice;

[whattingawhat]

Hi Neil. It's nice to meet you. Have you been here long?

Re: voice;

[skintoskin]

Not long compared with some people. I got here...

[Rustling of paper can be heard as he checks.]

March 7th...

voice;

[whattingawhat]

Oooh brand new. You're settling in okay?

[the_dawnster]

[Well, now at least Dawn can be all empathetic about the losing of a boyfriend.]

Chocolate. You need chocolate. Have any stashed away at the house or do you wanna get out and go find some somewhere else? I met this guy named Eagle who owns a whole shoppe full of sweets of every kind. We could go raid the shelves there.

† audio

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Yeah, I get that. I used to hate this place. Some days I still do. I think everyone does on some days. Anything I can do?

voice;

[skintoskin]

Okay, I guess, curses aside and if you don't count being kidnapped in the first place.

Uh, sorry you lost a friend of yours...

♦ voice

[whattingawhat]

[True.]

Raid the sweet shoppe then Pretty In Pink back here?

† audio

[whattingawhat]

Honestly, I think I'm going to go hit things in the Underground and then sedate myself with chocolate and a bad 80's movie.

voice;

[whattingawhat]

I've been here nearly two years. People always leave eventually.

[She pauses.] That sounded a lot harsher than I meant it.

voice;

[skintoskin]

It's okay. Though I have to say, if people 'leave eventually', how come you're still here?
