voice & action ✪ now with added filtery goodness

[slaying]

[ buffy has been running on autopilot. smile at the right times, nod in the right moments. make the appropriately inappropriate remarks about over-sugared coffees and pop music at all the wrong times in just the right ways. it isn't hard to do once she sets her mind to it; after all, she had done it in sunnydale for seven years

...I forgot that you were going to do that...

[Voice/Locked]

[slaying]

...Is something wrong?

[Voice/Locked]

[sokkafangirl]

Could you do me a favour? Lock what you wrote from a girl named Yue, if she can see it. I just don't-

[Augh, she should have done this earlier.]

...Maybe we should just cancel the party.

[Voice/Locked]

[slaying]

...Yue?

[ a beat. ] Sure, anything Suki. I can -- wait, why would you want to cancel it?

[ and buffy works on that filter. ]

[knighted_lion]

It depends on what you mean by 'admin'.

[slaying]

Lots of organization. Trying to fit the students with the right teacher. That kind of thing.

[knighted_lion]

Sounds like what I did at the Garden.

[slaying]

...Turns out it's a lot tougher than I'd expected. Or -- maybe just more time consuming.

Being able to break stuff is the first thing you're looking for? [ Said in one of those "how does that even get a good teacher" ways. Then again, Smellerbee knows jack squat about schools, so maybe that's like a huge deal. ]

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Organized. That was the first thing, I think.

[ voice ]

[notaboy_gtfo]

[ Checking that one. Crap, she's right. ]

Right. Organized.

Is that better for the actual fighting, or just for keeping everyone you teach in order?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Well -- the point is that I and my hypothetical helper don't actually do all the teaching. I take on students but as a coordinator, I'm mostly looking figure out which students will fit with which teachers.

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

You've been teachin' people how to fight all by yer lonesome?

[Voice]

[slaying]

...Sorta. More like I've been pairing up the teachers and the students all on my lonesome. Though I have been doing a little teaching myself.

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

I'm tryin' to imagine ya wearing one of those little teacher hats, with a pointing stick and a chalkboard.

I just can't see it.

[Voice]

[slaying]

I'll have you know that I worked at a school for...a few months. Ish.

[ sigh. ] Okay, so I didn't teach. But almost! Kinda.

[ Helios wasn't really expecting to getting a message like that. Good thing he likes surprises. Can never go wrong with surprises...usually. ]

Ah! Y-Yes. Um, where would you like to meet?

[voice|filtered]

[slaying]

We can always meet at the bar and go from there?

[voice-action]

[folkloristic]

That's perfectly fine! I'm at the library as it is. I'll meet you there shortly then.

[ And true to his word Helios will be at the bar in a matter of minutes. Buffy might see one blonde headmaster looking around for her as he enters the building, a book along with his journal tucked under his arm. ]

[voice-action]

[slaying]

Helios?

[ she lifts a hand -- she isn't behind the bar today but at a booth. ]
