♐ 001 // [Accidental Voice]

[crisisrain]

[There's an old man walking through the village. He doesn't seem lost, so to speak, but more as if he's just taking a leisurely look around as he attempts to familiarize himself with the new location. Eventually, he comes to a halt at the crossroads near house 27, opening the journal in the hope of finding a map.]

Right... where have I ended up now then?...

[He stands there, glancing around the area and then looking back towards the book. He kept telling himself over and over inside his head that he wasn't lost, how could he get lost? None of this was making any sense at all.]

[OOC: I should probably make this clear. Raven has been retconned, he has no memories of his previous time in Luceti as he's been taken from an earlier timepoint in the canon.]

Comments

Good enough!

[crisisrain]

[Oh, now he gets it. She's one of those women from the bars in Dahngrest, that's gotta be the logical explanation here right? He raises a hand to tell her to stop.]

Sorry hun, now ain't a good time for this sorta thing. Kinda busy ya know? I'm sure there are plenty of other guys who can give ya some attention today.

[herotypical]

[Her smile falls. What's this?]

But--Raven. It's not the att--[Oh. Right. She has been through this song and dance before. Buffy's arms drop and she hugs herself, instead.] You have no idea who I am, do you? Nada. Blank slate.

[crisisrain]

That's not true at all! I never forget a beautiful face, honest!

[Cue: Lie #1]

[herotypical]

Oh, is that so? [Hands on her hips.] C'mon, then. What's my name?

[crisisrain]

Sexy.

[herotypical]

[If you weren't Raven, she would slap you.]

Well, you got one letter right.

[crisisrain]

Oooh! We playin' hangman? Lemme guess! Uh... A!

[He did play hide and seek on his last intro...]

[herotypical]

[Shaking her head. Nope.]

[crisisrain]

[Logically, playing hangman is best won by picking random letters. Raven's memory is terrible, so he's just going through in order.]

How about B?

[herotypical]

Yes, there's a B. But if your next guess is C I'm going to have to disqualify you.

[crisisrain]

Then I'm gonna guess D!

/blames lateness on moving house

[herotypical]

That's a big fat no on D.

[She answers with a touch of amused hesitation, wondering how far he's willing to take this.]

Take all the time you need :D!

[crisisrain]

I ain't too keen on the letter D either...

So how about F? Not one fer vowels.

[herotypical]

Every name needs vowels. Yours has got two.

[That's a no on F.]

[crisisrain]

I'm pretty sure it was less than two, or was it more than two? Ya know, I never keep track o' these things.

[Hey Buffy totally has F's in it! Cheater!]

How 'bout ya just tell me instead?

;__; i can't spell, apparently. retcon that to a nod?

[herotypical]

Buffy, Raven. I'm Buffy.

What an amazing mistake to make xD

[crisisrain]

B-U-F-F-Y?

Hey, look at that, five letters. It's a sign~

clearly i need to sleep more.

[herotypical]

A sign of you remembering me?

[/hopeful]

I should sleep myself...

[crisisrain]

More like, Raven has five letters and Buffy has five letters. It's a perfect match!

crazy uk time zones

[herotypical]

Okay, here's the run down. Me? I'm twenty-four. Process that for a second, Raven. [But she says it with the slightest smile on her face.] And though the flirtation is fun? We're pretty much in the realm of friends. Letter-matching or not. Oh--friends with certain delicious baked good benefits, by the way.

[crisisrain]

... [Though the realm of friends doesn't exist for him yet unfortunately and for some reason, delicious baked goods is making him thing of his mortal enemy; cake.]

How old do you actually think I am?

[herotypical]

[A tentative, hesitant face.] The way you go calling yourself old man? Who knows.

[crisisrain]

I'm thirty-five. Though I guess that does make me an old man compaired to the kids I'm stuck travelin' with.

[herotypical]

Thirty-five? That's--[nothing.] Nope, you're right. You're old.

[crisisrain]

Oh, thanks fer makin' me feel better about my age.
