As if the singing, dancing, mortal embarrassment and bonus feature of people sponataneously combusting wasn't fun enough, Connor, Dylan and their team are in town. Turns out the powers decided to send Destiny a vision of Giles and me, possibly the rest of our friends, singing and dancing before one or more of us burst into flames. Oh, not that the

*stops in the middle of a four way cross down town*

Which way do you want to go?

[slayer_b]

Hmm how about right? Kind of the sleezy end of town that way.

[_alex__]

*gets a quick read of her emotions, tries to tune them out*

Um, yeah, I'm telepathic and empathic, so you may want to shield some of your thoughts.

*smiles*

I'm not an incubus though, so that's cool right?

[slayer_b]

*blushes*

Um yeah peachy keen.

It's just I switched powers with Rhia once and I'd rather not end up succubuffy if weirdness happens again. Telepathic I've done, I think I can handle it better.

*brushes the hair from her face*

Being taken from heaven and brought back *gestures around them* here, isn't something that is easily gotten over. Especially if you're determined to protect your family at the sake of not telling them they hurt you.

[slayer_b]

I just had a vacation while we had an apocalypse, I need to be here and be all work ethic-ey and stuff.

*wrings some of the water out of her shirt*

I am doing better with it, last year this time I would have just gone up thinking about it probably. Old Buffy the human torch.

*smiles*

I don't think they'd ever try anything like that again it was bad for all of us I think. Just, even though things are better I get tired. And oh my god I need to stop talking about this.

*looks embarrassed*

[_alex__]

Whatever you say to me will stay between us. I'm used to hiding secrets to protect my family.

*shrugs*

You do what you have to do and hope that it's enough to keep everyone safe and protected, but somewhere along the line, you forget to protect yourself.

Sound about right?

[slayer_b]

Um, maybe.

*thinks about all the times she's tried to have a life*

Um you know I used to get yelled at for trying to have a normal life, maybe it sunk in a little too well. I mean my dates are patrol dates.

[_alex__]

Totally understandable. I used to defend their way of life until Pan starting screwing around in LA. Now it's becoming clear that free will is being compromised and that ain't cool.

[slayer_b]

Oh yeah there was total lack of free will, if I wanted it and they didn't all I had to do was um want them to want it and poof they did.

But you know if I didn't do that, it kind of hurt. So it was kind of catch 22 territoty.

No offense but I think I'll stay out of LA until you guys kick them out or something, I'm not fond of being forced to join the sexual revolution.

[_alex__]

Yeah, I'm not sure how Rhia handles the urges. I guess maybe she has found her zen or something.

Course, she has had centuries to get used to it. I'd think the empath and telepath stuff must have been a pain in the ass for you too. It gets to me sometimes and I've had it all my life.

[slayer_b]

Well at least it wasn't as bas as the first time I did the whole telepathic gig and had to be cured by drinking a chopped up demon heart!
