[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.]

No way! Why the heck would a guy wanna dump a gorgeous lass who can fight fer herself! Yer like every guys dream! This Jim guy made a big mistake leavin' you behind.

[herotypical]

Jim? I don't think Jim had a choice. But Riley. Oh, Riley. That boy? He left me via helicopter. How rude is that?

[crisisrain]

Uh... ya know what I'm gonna ask now right?

[herotypical]

Is there any way I can stop you from asking without getting violent?

[crisisrain]

I was just gonna ask what a helicopter is...

[herotypical]

O-oh. [Well that leads to some embarrassed flushing in the face.] Vehicle confusion. My bad--not that you can really blame me, right?

Helicopter. It's kinda like a tr--boat. Except it goes in the sky. With...blades that spin really really fast and kinda give it lift off. Clear as mud?

[crisisrain]

No, but let's just go with that. Spinnin', bladey boat thing that flies.

Soooo what was the blushing fer? Did I miss some fun dirty secret?

[herotypical]

Dirty? Oh, nope. Riley was a perfectly respectable boy. Well, until the leaving in a spinning bladey boat thing. That wasn't exactly respectable. But until that point it was all good and happy and perfectly acceptable dating stuff. Scout's honour.

[crisisrain]

Ya should be happy he left then, he doesn't sound half as much fun and the helithingie.

[herotypical]

[What's she's not telling you, Raven, was about much her friends complained when they never got to see her. She spent half of the relationship hanging out in Riley's room.]

Look, if you want the raunchy crazy stories? I am so not the Vampire Slayer to be talking to. Fighty-destructo stories? I'm your girl. But everything else should perhaps be directed towards Faith.

[crisisrain]

[He can't help but laugh.] Ya can't blame a guy fer tryin' though right? Any story ya have to tell is probably more interestin' than any of mine!

[herotypical]

Yeah right, an old guy like you? You must have plenty.

[crisisrain]

I'm as borin' as they come!

[herotypical]

Oh, I doubt that. Look--how about a trade? You tell me one non-boring thing and I'll concede to--[she has to take another drink of wine to even manage offering this but--]--one question, okay? Just one yes-or-no question.

1/2

[crisisrain]

Hmm let me think for a moment, ya drive a hard bargain.

2/2

[crisisrain]

Alright! I'll take that deal! [He thinks for a moment.]

Not borin' huh? Well... I fought in a war 10 years ago against these monsters with enough power to flatten a mountain and I'm still standin'. That good enough fer ya?

[herotypical]

Ten years ago? Wow. You are getting on, aren't you? Ten years ago I was just starting in the Slayer business.

[But..she nods and smiles.] That is definitely on the non-boring side.

[crisisrain]

Oh I was fightin' monsters when you were still learnin' how ta talk! [Excluding the fact he cut about a million details out.]

So does this mean I get a question now?

[herotypical]

[Hey! She resents that. She was a very fast learner when it came to talking.]

Learning that you've got war experience? Yep. Definitely probably worth one question.

[crisisrain]

That's a understatement. Maybe I'll tell ya more about it when yer older haha!

[He thinks quite hard. One question yes or no huh?] Hmm... would ya ever consider havin' dirty fun times with a lass?

[herotypical]

[Ask her again in an hour, after Aerith has kissed her. Better yet, ask her again in about half a year, canon-wise. She'll have slept with her favourite student-Slayer. Twice.]

What? Me? Nope. That'd be my best friend, Willow. She's the one that catches for the other team.

[crisisrain]

[Curse canon timelines!]

Oooh would she happen ta be here in Luceti too?

[herotypical]

[Go visit Bones, Raven. He now actively ships Buffy/Aerith and insists she's the only one who can visit Buffy under her new house arrest.]

Nope. No sign of her. Could kinda use her support right around now.

[crisisrain]

[Oh darn, I can't come visit then if he's not allowed D:!]

She might show up yet! Ya don't know, though would ya really wanna drag her here?

[herotypical]

[I dunno. Raven and Bones could start a fanclub.]

We work better together. And she'd be good with this kinda stuff. Really smart and super capable. She'd understand. I need her.
