[ bless her, she comes from a time before the selfie was adequately popularized. and yet buffy summers seems to have an instinctive knack for propped her locket up on her palm and holding it just so -- capturing her own ennui-stamped face in one corner and (over her shoulder) introducing the world to pretty little winter-blanketed river scene. one might assume she's in the vicinity of land carved out for his baronliness archer's spire and forts. hah. spire and forts. hello, innuendo.

anyway. she exhales with a puff of her cheeks and stares down the locket. you'd almost think there was no war at all by how little attention she pays it. purposefully, buffy seems to be ignoring the court drama as best she can. running away -- sour, perhaps, for a number of reasons. ] Some of you might've met-chatted-made-buddies with a girl named Dawn. She's gone. Sorry about that. [ and presumably that's why buffy looks like she's been mainlining angst straight into her veins.

otherwise: ] I need hammers. And...probably nails. Power drills will also be appreciated but I hear that might be a bit of a pipe-dream. We could also probably use pipes. I think.

See. This is why you gotta hate a war economy.

Oh! Those really really really big iron bar things. You know, the ones with the thin middles and the wide edges. The ones that co-star in all the wacky old school cool photoshoots hanging over city skylines...

[ but at least she's still bothering to help build unseelie fortifications. she's not ready to sally forth and kill, yet.

buffy's rambling. she tries to stop. except-- ] Wait! A few more things. Which one of you mooks is Professor Spaniard? The rest of you...I dunno -- be careful out there.
[ she went there. ]

[well let's not forstake hard work.]

I can't even tell you that there's a way to made sidewalks happen. The most you're going to get is cobblestones, and that's how you break your neck in heels.

[herotypical]

Nah. See: a chunky heel is fine, regardless of the ground. [ at least it is for preternaturally agile super girls. ] It's just the teensy little ones that'll getcha.

[gordianknots]

That sounds like that takes practice though. Or is this me being completely clueless about the finer points of shoes? Pun not intended here.

[herotypical]

I'll try not to hold your ignorance against you.

[gordianknots]

Thank you, it's all I could ask for.

[herotypical]

[ well! she certainly has more to ask: ]

Been here long, Prof?

[gordianknots]

Ten months, actually. It's....been a near-year.

[herotypical]

Close enough. Might as well just say a year at that point.

[gordianknots]

I could, but then I'd also be unable to joke about how for nine months, we were here, and then a monstrous war happened.
