54th Slay [Action | Video]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is sitting next to the window at Cafe Juliet, looking out to the crowds. It's probably pretty clear she's looking for someone(s) in particular. She smiles at the device]

Welcome to the City. Stay out of the Underground, don't feed the deities and have a nice probably temporary stay.

Any Sunnydale residents that want to say hi?

[dashingrainbow]

Uh, thanks? What are you?

[whattingawhat]

[...] Human.

...Is this severely drug induced Christmas?

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

Hue-man? That's something new. What's Christmas?

[whattingawhat]

Are you...of course you're serious. You're a pony and this is the City.

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

I'm a pegasus pony! Rainbow dash!

[loyalblackdragon]

Warnings are for those that have a worry for danger or a lack of means to defend.

...I thank you anyway.

[whattingawhat]

[...more staring]

Of course you--I think I had a little vinyl toy of you when I was six.

action; | as promised! ♥

[redemptions]

[ hey, where is-- wait. hasn't he done this before? ]

[whattingawhat]

I'm not sure a lot of the people that show up can defend themselves? Sort of a safe than sorry sort of thing.

[head tilt]

I'm Buffy.

Hold, on deities? As in...gods?

[There's that tingly-tanglely feeling in the pit of her stomach that makes Buffy look up. She's not entirely surprised to see Angel but she is a bit hesitant. Last time he was here, he was pre-all-of-the-bad Angel. This time...she felt guilty hoping it was the same Angel. She's recently (still) dealing with everything back home and Giles and she doesn't know if she can deal with a that era Angel right now. It'd be nice to pretend she was sixteen for a little while and this Angel is a safe place. She stands up from where she's seated, takes a couple steps toward the door, a deep breath and then outside.]

Not a cemetery. This is starting to resemble a pattern.

[whattingawhat]

Oooooor so they say. We've also got Thor here and let me tell you, way sexier than the supposed deities running this place and if you're a deity wouldn't you want to be the sexiest thing in the place? I mean, why wouldn't you?

[loyalblackdragon]

Such is the fate of a guardian to trouble with safety and apologies.

[He nods. That's about the extent of a warm howdy-do.]

You have nothing to fear from me, even more to say sorry of any kind.

[waitress]

I've done the crazy god tango and I'm perfectly fine with just sittin' that one out.

[ maenads and anti-vampire fundamentalists, oh my! ]

"Deities" and "nice stay" do not belong in the same sentence, Summers.

[ gods suck. the end. ]

[idolstolemylook]

[Spike isn't thinking about saying hi. Spike is thinking about how he's suddenly been deposited in the middle of a strange city, in the middle of the day, with nothing but his coat to protect him. He knows from experience that it's not enough and that trying to make it enough will damage it, so he's swiped a tablecloth and is running for cover--when he dashes into the closet door.

A cafe full of windows. Bugger. Still, it's enough for him to get a short respite, beating out incipient flames and backing up into Buffy's table.]

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

... Really? But how? I've never seen something like you before.

[the_hatman]

Gods don't exist. Fictions created by people to describe events out of their own comprehension. What city is this?

[whattingawhat]

Yeah...I guess so.

[She's pretty sure she's getting the gist of his words anyway.]

Oh. Well, welcome to the City? Want some coffee?

video; SQUEE

[whattingawhat]

[Just staring for a moment because...it's been a while.]

Cordelia?

[recovering recovering...give her a sec]

Are you...okay?

video;

[whattingawhat]

Keep your head down? It'll probably only last twenty four hours or so.

[action]

[whattingawhat]

[Oh God. Spike's on fire. Buffy reacts quickly. It's still cold enough that she wore a jacket to the cafe. She grabs it off the back of the chair and tosses it over his head, steering him by the shoulders back toward the back end of the cafe that's more shadowed.]

At least you know how to make an entrance.

[video]

[whattingawhat]

I...uhm...movie?

[whattingawhat]

Oh...ambitious demons trying to take over small Southern California towns. The City. Capital T. Capital C.

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

.. What's a movie?
