(first stake) video ✧ open to both courts

[herotypical]

[ the locket swings jarringly into action -- like a camera stuck to a pendulum, shuddering back and forth and only occasionally picking up a stern-eyed blonde. ] Ugh. Whose idea was it to glue a webcam onto a necklace--

[ there! steadied. there is first a grimace and then a forced smile and then a flutter of girlish eyelashes. ] First order of business? Those of you still bumming around the Station -- could you tell me how those repairs are coming along? I'm feeling a serious oncoming modernity craving. Like, a gallon of lattes and underwear that doesn't require learning whole new categories of knots.

Second: does anyone know how to make a quick buck outside shilling it for either court? [ she is not a fan of either of the caers. ] Preferably while also maintaining some facade of dignity.

And third and last but absolutely never least: does the name Sunnydale mean anything to anyone? Y'know, anyone other than the someones I've already talked with. [ hey! it's worth asking. doubly so now that it looks like she's here for the long(ish) haul. double ugh. ]

Oh, it's one of those sugary dishes. [ Bleh! ] Can't it use honey instead?

[herotypical]

Mmmaybe. [ more hummed than said. ] I'll have to get back to you on that one. Probably.

[smithwork]

Gods, I'm getting so hungry now. Is this what you do to men? You deliver insults and rumbling tummies.

[herotypical]

...Well. I'd like to think it's not the only things I do to men.

[ she also frequently emasculates them in the face of her slayerosity. ]

[smithwork]

[ That earns a laugh. ]

You can show me later when we're alone with your cheesecake, I'm sure I'll love the surprise.

[herotypical]

I think that depends entirely upon the quality of said cheesecake.

[ it's a good thing you sound like you have a sense of humour, hiccup. otherwise she would by dying right now. ]

[smithwork]

Well, if I swap out sugar for honey then it can't be too heinous. Anyway, I guess I'll talk to you later?

[ Talking about cakes probably isn't the most important thing she's got on her mind, he thinks. ]

[herotypical]

Later. Or maybe sooner. [ ... ] If me and the BFF make it to the Station.
