voice; backdated to Valentine's Day

[antibadstuff]

[ Honestly, Buffy had been about to call Finn. She'd dialed the number on her house phone and it'd rung once until suddenly she noticed the red string on her pinky and she hung up before anyone could answer, if anyone was going to at all, and grabbed ahold of the string, trying to bat it off.

Then trying to cut it off. Then when it starts tugging at her after she tries that, she grabs an actual weapon and starts to follow the string. Phone still in one hand of course, so she's able to call up the community to leave a voice post. How that works, whatever, it's the community it does what it wants it can be on a cordless phone. ]

Am I going to need a weapon if I follow this string?

[ Even if it... definitely, definitely doesn't feel like it. She can't help but go with her Slayer instincts as captured=bad. ]

{ OOC: RL open for Jay. }

[Jay had been following the string, himself, until he'd been rudely yanked forward by it that is.

Yeah, not cool. He doesn't know what's going on but he's got his gun out and he's carefully looking around the next corner as he talks to his captors... Whoever or whatever they are.]

Hey. Hey! This ain't funny, y'all. Yeah ha ha I walked through a door an' went somewhere else. I get it. Now send me back.

[ Buffy can hear him talking, despite that she's positioned herself on the other side of the door with a weapon and is ready to jam it wherever she needs to. When she realizes the voice is coming from Jay she comes out and lowers it, looking way skeptical. ]

Jay?

[rainin_blk_ppl]

[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait.

He lowers his gun and stares at the door. Oh you have GOT to be kidding.]

Buffy?!

[antibadstuff]

Don't you "Buffy" me, what are you doing here?

[daretotry]

What string?

[antibadstuff]

[ The one that totally canceled her plans of asking Finn if he wanted to get lunch today!! ]

Weird red one.

[daretotry]

[ creys ]

Huh. A bunch of people have been talking about the same thing...

I don't have one.

[antibadstuff]

Which would mean you're not at the end of mine. That's one possibility down.

[daretotry]

[ he's definitely pouting about that ]

I guess not. How do you find out who is?

[antibadstuff]

Honestly I'm planning on following it and stabbing anything that isn't friendly.

[daretotry]

Uh...I don't think you should stab whoever's on the other end. I mean, the other posts make it sound like it's something to do with Valentine's Day...and whoever's attached is probably someone from the community.

[antibadstuff]

Still a risk considering where I live. I mean, it's daytime so I don't really have to worry about anyone having been bitten, but eaten, flayed, other badness? If the community's deciding to dump people in Sunnydale where I got a reward for helping my graduating class to have the lowest number of mysterious deaths in the school's history, I can't really be too safe. Honestly, really hoping whoever's there is in one piece though.

[daretotry]

...Good point. Maybe taking a weapon wouldn't be such a bad idea.

[antibadstuff]

Any idea what the deal with these red strings is?

[daretotry]

Not really. I guess it's kind of like...a forced date? Like, you're attached to someone and can't get the string off. I dunno if there's more to it though. [ but he sure hopes not >:T ]

[antibadstuff]

In which case it'll have to be a forced hanging out.

[daretotry]

Or that. [ he sighs ]

[antibadstuff]

'Cuz it's so not going to get any steamier than that.

[rainin_blk_ppl]

The hell am I s'posed to know?

[He tucks his gun away as he steps around the corner.]

I was walkin' into an apartment building wit Kay an' Laura. Nex' thing I know I'm here wit this red string 'round my finger.

[antibadstuff]

I'm calling ducky mischief on this one.

[daretotry]

That's-- good. [ he sounds relieved ]

[rainin_blk_ppl]

Aw hell naw. I got shit to do. I can't be runnin' round on no wild duck chase.

[antibadstuff]

Even if it kind of..

[ Buffy hesitates. ] I was going to ask if you wanted to get lunch, but I guess that's ruined.

[antibadstuff]

You're telling me. You get to sit outside of a fast food joint tonight while I'm at work if this thing doesn't come off. [ She'll be skipping patrols after that. She's not taking him out with vampires while they're both tied up. ]

[daretotry]

You were? Like, on a date?
