[Raven's been at that wine in the fountain for a good hour or so now. When life gives you lemons take them, they're free lemons right? He's pretty out of it - hugging anyone who happens to pass by, even the guys. Yeah there's birds being lovey-dubey and some flowers he keeps treading on, not to mention the fountain itself. But he's occupied with getting wasted, because you know, he has priorities. Fortunately for you guys he was affected and taken about 3 days ago.]

[herotypical]

Well, no. I didn't. [Not at the same time, at least.]

[crisisrain]

OK, how about this one then. What'cha gonna do if one of these guys gets dragged back 'ere?

[herotypical]

[What are you, a prophet?]

Depends who it'd be.

[crisisrain]

[Wait... /goes to check reserves.]

Oh? Picky lady has a favourite then~

[herotypical]

Less picky, more complicated.

[There's a certain peroxide blond in her future, perhaps.]

[crisisrain]

[Oh good god it's Spike! Fff <3]

Ah love~ If it was anythin' other than complicated it wouldn't be half as fun would it?

[herotypical]

There isn't a lot of fun in this kind of complicated. [A look.] But if either of them came, I'd probably keep my head down for while. I'm not keen on confrontations with the exes.

[By which she confirms Raven's early accusation of them even being her exes.]

[crisisrain]

Ya've got a real habit of attractin' the bad types haven't ya? [Though he says that in all seriousness, he's got the idea that it comes from your line of work.]

They'd find ya eventually, layin' low in a small place like this is difficult enough.

[herotypical]

Hey, Angel? Totally didn't seem like a baddie. A little mysterious and cryptic, sure. Bad? Nope. He started out all chivalrous and noble.

[crisisrain]

A vampire called Angel...

[herotypical]

Yeah. Probably not a good idea to ask what the other one's name is.

[crisisrain]

Devil?

[herotypical]

Spike.

[crisisrain]

Well that's not as ironic as Angel. But still kinda funny.

[herotypical]

Anyway. They're both in the past. Big time. I am one very single woman.

[Unlike the last time she spoke to him about matters of the heart.]

[crisisrain]

Hold on a minute, ya mentioned a "first date" and showed me that injury. That means yer not exactly single right now are ya?

[herotypical]

Yeah. First date [She adds in a few airquotes, this time.] I'm not really his type. Not yet, at least. I'll get there, though. Then he'll be sorry.

[Said with a rather weird amount of affection.]

[crisisrain]

Is that yer way of sayin' that ya'll make him love you by beatin' him up? [He's ever so slightly amused, because of knowing this is an experiment he knows she'll be alright eventually.]

[herotypical]

Something kinda like that. [Really, there's a corner of her that treasures the bruises. So impressed and awed by Kadaj's skill. She cannot wait to meet it. But...she keeps that to herself.]

Two outta four past squeezes could hold their own when it comes to the violence. It's an important thing to know about a guy.

[crisisrain]

Gettin' into fights in a place like this just warrants trouble. Ya sure ya wanna have to deal with bruises each time you meet this guy? Must be some pretty deep love yer feelin' for him.

[herotypical]

I need to impress him. If that means bruises? Then I'll deal. I've dealt before.

[crisisrain]

If ya actually manage ta beat him, will he stop hurtin' you?

[herotypical]

I dunno, but I'm kinda excited to find out. Besides, this isn't hurt. This an inconvenience. That's all.

[crisisrain]

No no, of course yer not hurt. That's why ya won't get yerself healed up and are tryin' ta keep it on the low key.

[herotypical]

If Bones learned about this? He'd have be under house arrest for weeks. He's kinda like a big brother like that.
