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?

They're things that play movies. I don't know how they do it, they just do. It's about as Greek to me as magic.

[Which begs the question, what's really left for her to understand?]

[crisisrain]

[Raven was never any good at explaining things unfortunately.]

Ah figures as much. Oh well, I'll stick with gettin' her a book then.

[herotypical]

You're sure she can read, right? What with this whole never-having-read-a-book thing.

[crisisrain]

Well she must be able too, after all I did communicate to her through written text to keep my identity secret.

[herotypical]

And just why were you playing secret-identity guy?

[crisisrain]

I felt like it!

[herotypical]

[Wow you're vaguely creepy, Raven.]

At least it'll still be a surprise, for her.

[crisisrain]

Well I don't ever intend on tellin' her it was from me anyway. She's got her own friends here, she doesn't need an old man.

[herotypical]

Just exactly how old are you?

[crisisrain]

How rude!

Take a guess, I'm curious.

[herotypical]

You make it sound like you're over and above the thirty mark, at least. Because anything less than that is so far away from old.

[crisisrain]

Well how old do I look?

[Buffy's not known for her sensitivity to anyone outside of her inner circle, so:]

Forty-five?

[crisisrain]

.... [Ouch Buffy, just ouch.]

Ya overshot it by 10 years hun.

[herotypical]

[Whoops.]

I'm....so sorry.

[crisisrain]

Could've been worse I guess, least ya didn't say I was 50 or somethin'.
