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.

More or less it's a club that Haruki started to cure people of boredom.

[herotypical]

Hmm.

[She thoughtfully considers this, chewing and swallowing another bite of her meal.]

I had something sort of resembling a club, back home. But it was less about the boredom curing and more about the trying desperately to stay alive. [Charming smile is go!] I guess it was also less of a club and more of a gang. The Scooby Gang.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

That sounds more like some kinda desperate heroes gig.

[so_shik]

The Scooby gang? Seriously?

[herotypical]

Well, there was that part, too. But we were clubish--we met daily in the library and had a faculty member supervising us.

[She leans back, crossing her arms loosely across her chest.]

As for the name? Well, being a Scoobie is a step up from being called a Slayerette, which was the original moniker.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Slayerette? That sounds retarded, I can see why you went with the Great Dane.

[so_shik]

Slayerette...totally tacky, I agree with that.

[herotypical]

[Tapping her fingers against her upper arms.]

It wasn't an exceptionally official name. Just what we called ourselves. For a short time, we also had a van. It wasn't quite up to Mystery Machine specs, but still a van.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Huh. That's kinda neat.

[so_shik]

[just nods, looking at Buffy in a "are you going to tell him exactly what you are?" kind of way]

[herotypical]

[And she looks back as if to say--no way! The vague notions game is too much fun. So, Buffy laughs.]

The owner of the van was a real animal. Oh, and hairy. Much with the wolfman vibe.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Pity it wasn't a real werewolf then. Those types of things are always rip-offs.

[so_shik]

I'm pretty sure Buffy wouldn't want to deal with a real werewolf though.

[herotypical]

Nah, Shiki's right. Werewolves are a bit on the--well--wolfy side of things. Too much for me. Though the creature-of-the-night is a major point of interest.

Not that werewolves are real or anything, right? [She presses a palm to the side of her face, trying to bite down a smile as she looks back to Shiki.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

'Course they are. There's some kid named Seth here who openly admits to being one. Jeez.

[so_shik]

I haven't met Seth personally but he sounds like a nice kid. That doesn't count.

[herotypical]

[She takes out her serious face.]

There's a werewolf, here? Is he dangerous--y'know, when he's all grr argh? [Yes, with accompanying claw-like hand motions.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Dunno. By the sound of it he's all sane though... just a wolf. Apparently he's from an Indian tribe. I overheard him say it somewhere on those books.

[so_shik]

Maybe he's the same way as Rosalie...they are what they are, but they're normal.

[herotypical]

Rosalie. [She snorts. The snark is heavy, here. No approval for the weird sparkly vamps.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Rosalie's cool. Just sparkly and weird and vain.

[so_shik]

Incredibly vain, but she's got some redeeming qualities.

[herotypical]

Oh--don't get me wrong. I've got absolutely nothing at all against her as a person. Just--sparkles? Totally gives me a case of the wiggins.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, those are awesome. She's like a walking diamond or something!

[so_shik]

Attracted to shiny things, Haruki?
