[ He's sure of it now. Not that it matters — not that he cares — but the Dome does seem particularly Scoobie free. Buffy's gone and she took the lit'le bit and that mangy mutt with her. Sam's been missing even longer and with that he's plum out of moral influence. It's a relief in a way. It allows him to not think so hard about that sad flicker of a soul he's got somewhere out there in the world. It's freedom but just as much abandonment. Angel's come and gone and now the last sliver of familiarity disappeared. The last man standing from Sunnydale and he has to wonder... did they find a way home?

Did he get left behind?

It's not something to dwell on in any case. Not when there's hunting to be done and without a Slayer in the dome, who's to stop him? Eric, the great big hypocrite? The Wardens? He'd love to see them try. But first... a few stiff drinks at the Rusty Spoon, formerly known as Merlotte's. For old times sake. ]

	[ A Look. ] Come now darling, you mustn't be so hard on yourself. We were all human once, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lookit you, being all comforting and wonderful! [She wasn't actually upset, but it's still adorable okay] I guess my inferiority complex is showing a little. I'm more used to it than I was, but it's just weird being one of what feels like a tiny minority of plain ole non-special humans. Not that I didn't have a teeny tiny complex just in my regular life, if we're honest.

But it's really fine. I just can't help but feel like man, I could be so much more useful around here if I could leap tall buildings in a single bound or something. [Since her hacking prowess has resulted in precisely squat.] I'll have to rely on my keen fashion sense to set me apart.

	Let's be honest here, it's not like the super special ones are doing anything useful either. From what I can tell, the only thing the heroes of this dump are good for is disappearing. [ Why yes this is referencing a recent event. Stupid Buffy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not that Spike's being terribly subtle there, but it surely pings Garcia's 'something ain't alright' button.] Did something happen? Because that tone sure sounds like a familiar thing. Namely, this place bringing the suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-06 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Usually that's my job. [ Bringing the suck. Heh. ] Nothing you should worry your pretty lit'le head about. I just seem to be missing a gaggle of Scoobies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scoobies? If you're about to mourn a huge slobbery treat-monger dog and his stoner companion I can't promise I won't giggle. But I'll try and then I'll get you another drink, because that's what buds do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-08 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh no, there will be no mourning. Bloody hell... [ Said with a modicum of disgust. ] Did I ever tell you about th' Slayer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-11-10 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	You did not. But the name seems reasonably self-explanatory as a jumping-off point. [So she can keep up.] What's the deal there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-12 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ A shrug. ] She slays. She's th' Chosen. One born every generation to fight against the demons, the vampires and the powers of darkness. She'll kill hundreds... thousands of us until one of us has a bloody good day and kill her in turn. 'Course, after that another one is summoned. And so the circle continues.

Gotcha. The Girl Chosen by Destiny and all that, now conspicuously absent.

[Which, usually, might frighten her a little. But honestly, she can't think Spike would hurt her.] I guess that makes you breathe a little easier, yeah? I mean, nothing less comfortable than having your own personal war dragged out here in the land of No Escaping Each Other No Matter What. [She's imagining it being a little like Hotch and Foyet both being stuck here. Not pretty.]

	I wouldn't say that. Made me feel like home, to tell you the truth... 'course, if I did kill her down here it'd be bloody pointless. No bragging rights. [ Sometimes he really can't filter the bloodthirsty killer in him. Slayer of Slayers and all that. Old habits die hard. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A short, stunned pause. And then a shaky smile.] You keep saying these things that really should freak me out more than they do. Don't get me wrong, that worked. You know, if that's what you were going for. But I'd have thought I'd be running for the hills right now instead of just a little shifty. What's up with that, you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-12-10 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not compelling you, if that's what you're asking. Couldn't even if I tried... unlike some other vampires in these parts. [ More like every other vampire in these parts, amirite. ] So you tell me... why aren't you running? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No no, I gotcha. I didn't think you were. I'm more wondering what's up with me. Brave is definitely not a word that people would put in the Top 10 Characteristics of Penelope. I'm more like your classic wuss, really.

Sooo.... [Now she's wondering if she's being totally offensive. Inter-species politics are hard!] I guess it was a rhetorical question. Or maybe it's just that for some reason I don't really feel like you're about to feast on plump programmer flesh.

	Could be that we both know that if I wanted to nibble on you, all I had to do was say please. You've given me a taste before, after all. [ It's more fun to manipulate that angle, rather than hunt her down. Not much of a prey, this one. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She bursts out laughing!] Oh God, I sound like such a slut when you put it like that! [Pardon her a moment as she gets a hold of herself.]

You're probably right and all. I wouldn't let you suffer as long as I could help. But you know, some people I know probably wouldn't love the idea, so I'm going to at least try not to be too very cavalier about it. Even if that was hilarious, so kudos.

	[ He grins, more amused by her amusement than anything. Although, this is a golden opportunity to dig into her network a bit. ] By some people... you mean that beanpole of a colleague you got? (Reply to this) (Parent)
