[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

[crisisrain]

Ladies love sweet things, it's never failed me yet!

[Action]

[herotypical]

[She laughs, amused.]

Oh? Just how many ladies have you ensnared with your expertise, huh?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Only the really drunk ones.

[Action]

[herotypical]

Then I've got a natural defence against your drunk-charming ways. [She smiles.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Oh but ya couldn't resist my delicious treats. Cake, crepes, cookies, hot-chocolate, anythin' sweet and ya'll be head over heals for this old man's cookin'.

[Action]

[herotypical]

It does all sound particularly fantabulous to a girl who couldn't bake her way out of a wet paper bag.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I do owe some people some nice treats, I'll have to cook some up sometime.

[Action]

[herotypical]

I could always scribble down my address if you have any extra dozens of treats.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Ohhh! [Raven senses tingling.] Scribble it on a piece of paper, not the journal. Don't want the village knowin' where ya live.

[Action]

[herotypical]

[She grabs a napkin and a pen from behind the counter and ducks down over it for a moment.

Then, she passes it across the counter to Raven. Upon it? Buffy Summers - House #7]

Wouldn't want any stalkers.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[He looks at the number...]

House seven?...

Buffy.

You live three doors down from me.

[Action]

[herotypical]

Seriously? Now, If I'd have known that back when Bones was keeping me under house arrest? I would've had you come be my knight in shining armour and jail-break me.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[You know that drink, well he just spat it out and starts coughing.]

[Action] grammar fail!

[herotypical]

[She is quite quick to laugh.]

That? That was one of those sarcastic joking times. [Buffy shakes her head.] I'm completely capable of jail-breaking myself and have done so on numerous occasions.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Not that Raven is actually a Knight or anything noooo.]

Just... took me by surprise that's all. Anyway, I live in house 12, I think it's the only other house on that path that's the same shape as yours. The one next ta the bridge.

[Action]

[herotypical]

Why so surprised? [She wrinkles her nose and starts wiping up some of that spat drink.]

Ah, right. That bridge...the one in the other direction. [Because the one going the other way is a ~special~ bridge.] Who knew you were so close.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Uh, sorry about the mess. [He's quite surprised she lives so close himself.]

I've never bothered ta go north of the house. There's no shops up there and until now, I didn't know anyone who lived that way either.

[Action]

[herotypical]

No problemo. After all, it's my job.

[She bins the rag, turning back to Raven.] Now you have an excuse to come visit.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Any reason is good enough! I'll have ta cook ya somethin' nice, I'm sure I could get it to yer house before it gets cold.

[Action]

[herotypical]

Is that a promise, Raven?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Would this face lie?







Don't answer that.

[Action]

[herotypical]

How about...instead of answering? I'll pour you another glass.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Works fer me hun. Long as I don't get wasted on my first night of bein' alive again.

[Action]

[herotypical]

I could always switch you over to orange juice.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Think ya could spike it with a bit of vodka?
