Um...guys? Just a heads-up that All Passions will be temporarily closed for a little while. I'll still take orders and make things, but I won't physically be at the shop for a long time, not until I can be mobile again anyway. Sorry for that.

Buffy, looks like we're going to have to postpone the lake-date for a while, but how about you drop by House #10 for dinner sometime this week to make up for it?

...actually I think it might be okay if anybody who needed something made or just wanted to talk to me can drop by House #10 during the day, so there's that too. Such an inconvenience, sorry again.

Questions? Alright, I can handle those. I think--I mean, conversation questions? Sure. Quizzes? Less with the good.

Angel's not always forthcoming with the vampireness, so it's possible that your friend might not even know.

[so_shik]

I'm glad because if he gets wind that you're a slayer...he'll ask more questions than...a really big questiony-thing.

He probably doesn't. The only reason I knew was because when I met Angel he was in the shade trying to hide from the sun.

[herotypical]

See? The fact that Edward and Rosalie can go out in the sun is totally like some sort of cheat--like in a video game! Vampires shouldn't be able to. It goes against the...unnatural order of things.

[so_shik]

Have you asked either of them how that's even possible?

[herotypical]

Just the way they are, I think. I got the impression that they don't really consider themselves to be really demony, the way my world's vamps are.

[so_shik]

So they're just kind of...glittery people without souls?

[herotypical]

Who drink blood and are apparently really freakishly fast.

[so_shik]

...no, that's not intimidating at all.

[herotypical]

I'm intimidated and I'm supposed to be the Slayer. Never a good sign.

Except, they claim not to drink human blood--so maybe they're okay? I'm not sure. I'm really not liking this shades of evil deal.

[so_shik]

Well there's still the power cap right? Maybe they can't do anything too damaging here.

[herotypical]

Unless the cap's removed, like it was in May. Which was one freaky heck of a time--I did not enjoy that. Not even the teensiest teensy bit.

[so_shik]

Then be glad the cap's back on.

[herotypical]

Oh, I am.

But I'm still concerned over why your...power thingies don't work here while that math guy's does. I might actually have to hit research mode on this one.

[so_shik]

I'd like to know the same thing. I can't think of any reason why they're not.

[herotypical]

Do you think someone could have put the whammy on you, to stop you from using it?

[so_shik]

...well actually, I wonder if it's because I won the game and came back to life. I was alive again right before I got here.

[herotypical]

So, the living don't get these powers? Just those who are...well..less-than-living?

[so_shik]

Hard to say. All I know is that Sho's pretty dead and I'm pretty...well, not. That's the only solution I can think of unless...

[herotypical]

Unless?

[She prompts.]

[so_shik]

...it's nothing. Just thinking.

[herotypical]

Oh, no. Don't think. Thinking's bad. That way, headaches live. I know this from first-hand experience. I try to avoid thinking whenever possible.

[A slow smile.]

Maybe it is because you're alive--if so, I think that'd be a pretty okay reason. I'm told on good authority that being alive is a good thing.

[so_shik]

You know that's really funny, I've heard the same thing. Guess I'll stay with staying live and just avoid Minamimoto.

[herotypical]

Probably for the best. He doesn't sound like the plays-well-with-others type.

[so_shik]

Most definitely not. If you see him, be careful kay?

[herotypical]

I'll be the epitome of careful. [Right before I break his leg, in return. But she keeps the avengey stuff to herself.]

Does Math-Boy have any weaknesses?
