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?

[hmmm she remembers your mom being in the hospital last summer]

When did your mother die?

[6collegecredits]

Death? Well that doesn't sound ominous at all. Riddles aren't really my thing so I don't think I'll be much help.

[antibadstuff]

A few weeks ago.

[hasbottombunk]

Your mother died?

[embersandashes]

My condolences.

[antibadstuff]

You'd think when you go on a quest for answers they'd actually, you know, give some.

[antibadstuff]

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago. Guess you guys were lucky enough to miss the community broadcast.

[antibadstuff]

Thanks. We're dealing.

[6collegecredits]

That seems to be the awful down side of quests. More questions than answers.

[hasbottombunk]

The community posted it??? Things have been pretty busy...I must have missed it.

How are you holding up?

[embersandashes]

Who's Dawn?

[antibadstuff]

It posted me calling the paramedics when I found her.

Dealing. We all are. It's a busy time.

[antibadstuff]

They really should change the definition of that.

[antibadstuff]

My sister?

[embersandashes]

Oh right, the irritating younger one?

[chapter_behind]

That sounds ominous.

[antibadstuff]

You're telling me. I went to find out if it was possible to be the Slayer and still feel... things. Like love. That's what I came back with after following a mountain lion to a campfire where a prehistoric guide talked me in circles.

[antibadstuff]

That's the one.

[andthehat]

Died?

[doyoufondue]

Your gift? It could be that you're good at causing death? Like a gift at killing? So it wants you to get rid of more vampires? Maybe?

I gave it a shot.

[chapter_behind]

I'm sorry. I tried to listen, but you're talking again.

[antibadstuff]

Yeah. It was while you were gone. Pretty much just before you got back, actually.

[andthehat]

M'sorry.

[antibadstuff]

That's not a gift. If I have to do it because it means less people die, I do. Vampire slaying is my job, I've been doing that for a long time. Being able to kill things isn't something I didn't know yet.

Thanks for trying, though and wow wait a second, you're Steve! [ Sorry she was questing during your post 8|;; The widest eyes you've ever seen on Buffy. ]

[antibadstuff]

Hey, that was as clear to me as it was to you. It was some weird magic ritual spiritual quest thing.
