7th Dusting

[So okay, earlier today, Melaka was on a ship. She said she'd sign up for it and she actually had a lot of fun touring around it, meeting people, and generally getting to know what was going on in the high seas. In any case, the point is that her spirits are much higher now than in December. So much so that when the makes it home and deals with Gates... she decides to finally try something she learned apparently is a check to see if people made it home she learned the other day.]

[Voice // Filtered to Harth (BROKEN)]

Hey, Harth- are... [it fails.] ...Hah. [She thought so.

She's not sure if she should feel empty or relieved. So about a month now, she knew this was going to be the case. She knew that Harth was gone. That's part of why she freaked out last month. But anyway, she now considers how she wants to spend her night? Patrol? No. Summers? Maybe, but not really. She considers... and for some reason her mind comes back to Azusa. She hasn't seen the other woman all day, but the idea of a beer with her sounds appealing right now. Well, she just made a filter, might as well make a another ones - last time she did it public, people commented on her after all]


[Voice // Filtered to Azusa (BROKEN)]

Azu, we gotta get a- [it fails.] ... Azu? C'mon, beer- [it fails.] ...Azu? [A pause. And she tries to flip through the journal to try to find that thing where he ping people. She's not there. Her voice actually sounds a bit scared] ...Azu? Azu, are you-? [It fails.

...It failed. She's... gone? She remembers the emotional reactions she's seen other people have. Buffy, when she was numb. That Cordelia woman just the other day. And during those times, she thought those people were just... silly. Because going home, that's the dream. she wants nothing more than to go home every single day she's here, there's no excepts. but right now, all that she knows is that most likely, she will never see Azusa Miura again. For some reason, she looks around her flat and sees some of the gifts she got some that woman. And... she... she's sad. She's really sad, for some reason. a lump is growing in her throat. Which is why this next part comes out throaty]


[Voice // Public]

...S-Summers. [F-fuck, she actually had her voice crack] ...Chief? Whoever. Let's get a beer.

[And even if Buffy refuses, she's going to be at the bar (Good Spirits, that is). she'll probably look silly because she'll be sitting next to a little stuffed dog as she nurses her... whatever. She doesn't even know what she's drinking. she doesn't even really care right now. The drinking isn't even a coping mechanism, not really. It's just that right now her body feels heavy and what she most wants to do (to be on a grab, to take something, to get in a fight) isn't incredibly possible here except in that stupid dome, which won't feel right and she knows it. ...Except maybe that Isaac guy? No, no. she's in a bad mood, she can't possibly focus for that sort of fight if he's at all what he talks like.

EDIT: for the broken filters feel free to assume any or all of that is public]

[And then back up.] But it didn't change anything. You did what you had to.

...I'd expect not an inch less.
touchofrogue: (Umm...)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2012-01-28 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rogue shifts a little uncomfortably.]

...you want me ta go?
touchofrogue: (Uncertain About This)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2012-01-29 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[...uh-huh.

And so, in that case, Rogue just waves over another drink for Melaka.]
herotypical: [ sad ; neutral ] (✝ gave them hope)

They followed you? Good. Good to know that things don't go back to the one-Slayer-stands-alone mess.

[ never you mind just how often she falls into that trap anyway.] ]

[personal profile] bamfing 2012-01-29 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't think I ever met her.
bamfing: (Wo sind wir?)

[personal profile] bamfing 2012-01-30 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
She must have been... that's too bad.
herotypical: [ neutral ; angry ; spike ] (✝ sugar water)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-30 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So was I. Practically. For almost a decade. Well -- might as well have been.

[ faith only sometimes counts, in her mind.

but at least she does indeed sometimes count. ]


Doesn't mean you didn't lead others.

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2012-01-30 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
So why the sudden urge ta drink?

[She's not normally the type to butt into other people's business, especially if she already has a good idea what's going on, but she is the type to believe that turnabout's fair play.]
herotypical: [ snarky ; neutral ] (✝ fit to drink)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-31 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...Nothing simple about that. [ she thinks back to the battle over sunnydale high. the first time. ]

How many survived?
herotypical: (✝ did i scare you when i dared you?)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-02-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
...Only slightly less scary than the opposite. [ more coming out.

extra vamps. ]
bamfing: (Window shopper)

[personal profile] bamfing 2012-02-01 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Yeah. Me too. [He shrugs and takes a quick sip.] But you still miss them. And you don't always know what they're going back to.

[Like. Mikage.]
herotypical: [ neutral ; busy ; chin ] (✝ she'll let you fall asleep)
