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.

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?

[herotypical]

If I wanted to be a walking diamond--I'd...wear more diamonds, or something. But it isn't very practical, is it? Walking around like some person-shaped storefront counter.

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

Probably why she tends to avoid being out in the day unless it's overcast. You just catch glimpses of the dazzle from time to time.

[so_shik]

...she is really pretty though...

[herotypical]

But it's so...wrong. Va--I mean--Her sort of people shouldn't sparkle. It's like someone took the world and shook it up and dumped it back out and nothing even remotely sort of looks like what it's supposed to be. That's what she's like.

But--how does she figure in all this, anyway? I mean, with the werewolf guy. Are they from the same world?
