Hey I got a little problem I could use some help with. There's this nice, little, teenage girl who's never read a book before, so I told her I'd get her one as a surprise gift. But uh, I'm drawin' up a blank. What kinda books do girls even read nowadays?

Summers! Oh please tell me ya hate the winter season with a name like that!

My name is just Raven. I guess I don't have a surname any more now that I think about it.

[herotypical]

With a passion! Buffy Summers was not made for snow.

[crisisrain]

Oh my darlin' we have a wonderful common ground. Old Raven here can't tolerate the cold for a moment. Give me the scorchin' sun any day!

[herotypical]

I'm from California. Sunny is kind of out business. Oh, in fact--the town I mostly eventually grew up in was called Sunnydale. And it pretty much only ever snowed once. Maybe twice.

[crisisrain]

Oh I'd give anythin' to live in a world with barely any snow~ In a place called Sunnydale too! You've got now idea how lucky ya are to not have to put up with the cold.

...
California? Is that the name of the world your from?

[herotypical]

Trust me, beyond the weather? Sunnydale is figuratively not too hot a place to live.

[Which was touching a bit too much on the truth, and so, to recover:] It's a name of a part of the world, I guess.

[crisisrain]

Lemme guess, monsters?

A part of the world, so California is a kind of continent right?

[herotypical]

Monsters a-plenty. And it's more like a part of a continent that's part of a world.

[crisisrain]

Oh so it's just like a general area, we have places like that too.

Nice ta hear there are monsters in other worlds! Do you fight them yourself?

[herotypical]

[Quick, evasive action!]

What makes you think that I would?

[crisisrain]

Nothin', just thought ya'd look hot wielding a weapon.

[herotypical]

[So baffled. And a little disappointed]

That's it, really? Nothing about my natural aura of heroicness?

[crisisrain]

I would've mentioned that, along with yer attitude, but it didn't seem to flatterin'. Unless your a tomboy kinda girl.

[herotypical]

I'm about as far away as tomboy as you can get. Well, mostly.

[Mostly except for the part where she launches baddies twice or three times her size as her job.]

[crisisrain]

More of a "Shoes and make-up" lass then I take it?

[herotypical]

Got it in one, Raven.

[crisisrain]

I like a lady who takes pride in her appearance ~

[herotypical]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask--are there any ladies you don't like?

[crisisrain]

Fat ones, under ages ones, ones that like to hit me... a lot, manly ones, scary ones, ugly ones, flat chested ones and the ones that don't like ta shower.

[herotypical]

[Wow. Woooow. We're just gonna settle into some rather stunned and vaguely offended silence. Buffy the flatish-chested Slayer doesn't really have words.]

[crisisrain]

[Raven can't see her breasts through the journal. He doesn't mind flat, but he'd rather have bouncy.]

Not expectin' a list were ya?

[herotypical]

No. I really actually wasn't. You can pretty much called me unexpected-girl for just how unexpected I was.

[crisisrain]

Well I have standards, aside from the under age one and the hittin' me a lot, the other's are open to leeway.

Depends how lovely the lady is~

[herotypical]

Glad to here it, Raven.

[She grasps at a few straws.] I'm sure you'll find your lovely lady someday.

[crisisrain]

Doubt it, the only woman I've ever loved died a while back. I just flirt half the time 'cause it's fun.
