[Jacketed and scarfed, Buffy is hard at work on the lawn of House Seven. She has in her hands a most fierce and gruesome weapon--long and pronged, wickedly effective for roping in and dealing with rogue...leaves. Yes, today Buffy is devoting her time to raking the leaves on the lawn (a task she takes even into the early but dark evening). And while ( Read more... )

I'll bet Walter left one around. [There's briefly a hint of "grumpy", possibly even a little "sulky", in her tone for the first sentence, but that goes away as she continues.] I don't know about better, though.... How do you even make a better rake?

[audio] slaying October 23 2010, 13:57:44 UTC

Maybe one with wider prongs. Or closer prongs. Or maybe even less prongs? I...I gotta admit, I'm not exactly a yardwork expert. But anything's gotta be better than this thing.

Maybe? You're probably just being impatient. Getting rid of leaves is a long and boring job no matter how you do it.

[audio] slaying October 23 2010, 18:30:47 UTC

Not if you've got a leafblower. But I haven't found one of those yet.

[Count another person (+ ever-present firechicken) who has never seen autumn and even then why would you bother with something like...picking up leaves ide-]

...What are ya doin'?

slaying October 23 2010, 13:55:52 UTC

Raking. [Buffy responds with a smile and a pause in her work.] But the leaves take over complete control and enslave us all.

[The joke flew several miles over Sapphire's head.]

What's the point of gatherin' up...leaves?

slaying October 23 2010, 18:40:54 UTC

So they don't kill off the grass.

...You know, if you bag them once you've piled them, you wouldn't have to chase them again.

[Yes, he's leaning against the wall of the house, watching. You might have felt him coming...maybe.]

[Glancing up to see Derek--she smiles.]

Ah, but that would be the sensible and rational thing to do.

[Action] derek_bliss October 24 2010, 14:36:23 UTC

Which you avoid, right?

[He'll stand up and make his way over.]

Got any bags? I can start stuffing them.

[Action] slaying October 24 2010, 23:14:12 UTC

Not on me--but I can run in and get some?

[ Yeah, have an equally bundled up best friend coming out to keep Buffy company. ]

Time to wage war on the leaves?

slaying October 23 2010, 13:56:52 UTC

It's a menial job, but someone's gotta do it.

[Then, commenting on her equally bundledness:] Makes you miss California, doesn't it?

slayersidekick October 23 2010, 15:46:00 UTC

I can take a turn... if you want.

[ Yeah, a bundledupness that she's not too happy with, either. ] Very much. No snow except that one freak year in high school. And not much on the cold factor, either.

slaying October 23 2010, 18:36:33 UTC

Well? Be prepared to get used to snow boots. It snows here. Like it was Canada or something.

[ And here is yet another villager who wanders near the vicinity of house seven and watches her wrestle with the rake and the leaves blowing across the yard. ]

Trouble?

slaying October 23 2010, 19:52:15 UTC

[Looking up.] Uhm--what? Oh...just a bit. Nothing I can't handle.

sittingtype October 23 2010, 19:55:14 UTC

[ A small smile. ] They seem intent on getting away from you.

slaying October 23 2010, 19:57:48 UTC

They always are.
