[Cloud sounds more resigned than anything.]

For those of you who know Tifa, she was sent back home.

Walter, don't worry about the expansion to Seventh Heaven now.



[Locked to Zack and Aerith//70% Unhackable]

Tell me when's a good time to move my stuff down.

[She smiles, reassuringly.]

Surprisingly? This isn't the worlds largest social faux-pas that I've ever lived through. Don't sweat it.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Let's talk about something else.

I don't know what, but...something else.

[herotypical]

[Clawing around her brain for topics--while staring at that hair. Huh.

The question comes out before she can think any better of it:] Are you a natural blond?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[He raises his eyebrows; well, it definitely was different.] Yeah. ...You?

i may have been waiting this whole time just to name-drop 'Spike' for the lulz

[herotypical]

Of course--but you never can be too sure. Except with Spike. Spike's roots are totally showing and it's kind of a travesty that he can't look in a mirror to see it.

...i need to tell akai to have zack yell "SPIKE WHERE ARE YOU" or something over the journals.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, weird. Someone's REAL name is Spike, eh?] Why can't he look in the mirror?

yes this must happen.

[herotypical]

[Not so much real name, but certainly chosen.]

He doesn't have a reflection. That's why.

/suggests it

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Oh. Uh...why are you friends with him? [Because y'know, from what you've said and what he's read, you supposedly...y'know, SLAY vampires.]

brilliant.

[herotypical]

I wouldn't really go near the word friends. [Of course, it's much more complicated than that.] But, in this case? Spike's one of the oh-so-very-rare non-evil vamps. He's got a soul.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

That must be uncomfortable. [Maybe Vincent is a souled-up vamp. It would make so, so much sense.]

[herotypical]

Why, do you find your soul particularly uncomfy? [She sips and gives him a look over the mug. Then puts the quip way out of its misery.]

Less than a year in, I met the only other vampire with a soul. I adapted.

[Adapting apparently means getting jiggy with it.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Uh...well, I meant for him.

Since vampires...y'know, eat people and stuff. Drink their blood. Must suck if you can feel bad over it.

[herotypical]

I get that there's piles of guilt--but, Spike and Angel? They drink pig's blood, instead.

[She can't perfectly empathize with the burden of a soul--Buffy has always lived with one. ] When I met him, though...he didn't have one. Spike, I mean. He was all bad.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, I guess that makes sense. [Wow, nasty.]

How'd he end up with a soul, then? [Sipping coffee, doo dde doo doo.]

[herotypical]

I guess the power of love really does make everything better. [She taps a fingernail against her mug. And, then, as if the cliche was too sickening even for her:] Things happened. He got inspired to become more man than monster. Good thing, too. He was kinda the key soldier in the last battle over Sunnydale.
