Hey guys. Figured I'd check in.

So, things are.. you know, handle-able. Dawn tried to raise mom a couple of days after she died, but we stopped her, then I went on a weird.. spiritual quest thing for Slayers. Major hijinx ensued while I was gone, but it's kind of gross and I've got a more important question for you guys than anything about Buffy-edition life-sized Barbie sexbots.

The guide on my quest told me "Death is my gift." I've got a couple ideas about what it could mean, but none of them are good. Any idea?

[doyoufondue]

You got it. [ can i assume he asked yuri? because he'd ask yuri ]

Re: [ video ]

[antibadstuff]

[ Yes of course. I think Yuri promised him one or something, didn't she? ONE TICKET ANYWHERE. ]

See ya soon. It's a store called the Magic Box. Sunnydale, California, 2001. It's not a big town, you'll be fine.

[ video --> action ]

[doyoufondue]

See ya.

[ Thank you, Yuri~And let's say 20 minutes? Yeah? Idk. He gets there soon-ish.

A guy who actually blends in okay! How about that? ---Except for the expression of GEE MAGIC SHOPS ARE KINDA WEIRD HUH ]

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

[ Buffy's waiting at the table inside of the magic shop instead of in the back, just so he knows he's in the right place and he can grab him before Anya launches an attack of patriotic buythings spirit. ]

Steve! Hey.

[ As soon as he shows up, she sees him and heads over and.. is staring again! ]

Wow you're even bigger in person.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

[ Oh Anya. Aha. He gives her a smile and a tiny wave before looking around more.

He's so distracted by the fact that there is a jar of toes on that shelf that he doesn't even really notice the staring so go ahead. ]

Yeah, I get nervous going through doors now.

Re: [ action ]

[antibadstuff]

You'll be fine. Did you want to look around first before we go in the back? [ She's smiling 'cuz that's funny. She hasn't seen anyone that weirded out in a while. ]

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

No, I'm okay. [ He's afraid to ask what anyone would use some of this for. But-- Let's pick something safe looking ] ...What's the giant hammer for?

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Uh. Anya and Willow accidentally summoned a troll. We kept his troll god hammer after I beat him and we sent him to another dimension specifically for trolls.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

Oh. [ Troll dimension... ] Do you think hammers are a common god thing?

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Can't say I've met too many gods. I don't think Kefka has one and I'm really hoping Glory doesn't.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

Could be specific to trolls. Is it heavy?

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Uh. I can lift it up, but Spike can't and he's a vampire.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

You're supposed to be stronger than vampires.

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

I am stronger than vampires. Otherwise I'd be dead by now. He's still got super-human strength though. I'd ask if you wanted to try but Anya will get mad if something ends up broken.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

They get super-human strength? Huh. [ nods understandingly ] Safer if I don't.

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Just to be on the safe side. Come on. [ Buffy starts heading toward the back of the shop

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

[ He follows closely behind, glancing around still ]

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

The whole of 2001 doesn't look like this magic store, promise. Anyway. [ Oho, back training room! Dummies, weapons, punching bags, those blue pad things, all the fun 8D ]

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

I didn't think so. [ Oooh~ Look at this. All the fun indeed. ] Now this room makes more sense to me.

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Yeah, this is where my stuff is. The front is Giles' store. [ She pauses. ] And Anya's. She only works there but I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her own. Filled with the kind of stuff that Willow and Tara use.

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

Thinking it's her own only makes her more trustworthy with it, right? Not going to ruin something that's yours.

Kinda like your stuff the best so far.

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

True enough. I'm just glad I don't have to buy anything from the front.

My stuff is pretty cool. Xander made the dummy for me himself. So how do you want to get started? [ She's going to.. totally hold back at first. She doesn't know how strong he is she doesn't wanna accidentally hurt him. ;; ]

[ action ]

[doyoufondue]

[ Looking at the dummy with a nod of approval. Xander will be known as the guy who makes good dummies now. ]

How do you usually start? We could do that. [ Ahaha he's going to be doing the same. ;; ]

[ action ]

[antibadstuff]

Start fighting or start exercising? Because fighting I can do any time I want. If you want to warm up first? Stretches.
