slayersidekick | 2nd Wicca Spell [Action]

[ For most of the day, Willow's killing time before the big meeting. For the beginning and middle parts of the day, Willow is cooking. Yes, House 7 smells of food today. Early in the morning, she gets up to cook breakfast, pancakes - and she's totally taking orders from anyone who's actually up with her - and omelets if you guys are lucky. Any shape, any flavor. She might be looking pensive while she cooks, too. She misses Tara.

Later in the day, she's making a homemade soup. Little on the spicy side, but not terribly so. And she's still doing it all by hand. No magic at all. Not even to get the water hot. Feel free to run into her at either time or both. She's examining her journal while the soup's cooking, sitting at the kitchen table, so totally open to being disturbed.

Between cooking times, she'll make a pit stop in the library just to look around. Needs to kill time between cooking and the meeting. She's nervous about what Giles might have to tell her regarding the magic and her addiction at home. Everything's different here and she's very preoccupied. Chances are she might run into someone or walk right by them without noticing. ]

((ooc: party style for the morning if you guys want to? House 7 breakfast party. Otherwise, I'll just assume people came and went while she was cooking and eating.))

The ones back home are. They have a demon side. I guess it comes from losing their souls when they're Sired.

That sounds complicated...and disturbing.

[Pause.]

Did you find out if any of the vampires you mentioned before for are here?

It is. Complicated, I mean.

Spike is, Drusilla and Angel were, but none of the others, which is good. So, no more worrying about which crazy vamp is gonna try to suck me dry.

[What a strange thing to be happy about. Then again, Terra had her own odd standards.]

No, I really don't think that sort of thing happens a lot around here. In fact, I've never heard of it..and I really hope it stays that way.

Oh, good. I hope so, too. It's not really... pleasant when you think one's going to do that.

[ Experience is talking here. ]

[She winces at that.]

I wouldn't think so.

...not that it's always pleasant here, but we have our own set of problems.

A-at least it can't be worse than demons and crazy things running at us all the time. It'll be just like Sunnydale. O-only if someone offers you chocolate bars for the marching band fundraisers? Don't take them.

...marching band fundraisers?

[Not quite sure what those are, by her look.]

I won't, though I don't think we have those, anyway.

...though other chocolate here is okay. Thankfully. I wouldn't want to live without it.

We had to sell chocolate bars to make money so the band could keep doing whatever it is the band does. Play at sports games.

Chocolate's all right. It's not really a staple of my diet, but it's nice to have as a back-up when you really need it.

Comfort food.

[Terra smiles a little.]

What do you prefer, then?

[ Willow shrugs. ]

I miss Buffy's mom's cooking... And Tara's. [ Her expression fall for a moment, but she shrugs again and seems to shake it off. ] I got used to making pancakes for Dawnie back home. It's kinda comforting to make them here, too.

[That expression change concerns her for a moment, but she doesn't want to pry.]

Oh, I've made some! My first attempts were...not great...but I got better with practice.

[ It's not like everyone else doesn't know. Or well, the people she knows from Sunnydale anyway. ]

It takes a little work. Dawnie always liked it when I made them in different shapes.

I haven't tried that, yet. ...is it hard?

It is a little at first, but once you figure out how to pour the batter in the right motions to get the outline and keep it in the same area, it's not so bad.

[Terra nods, thoughtful.]

I'll have to try that, and see how it turns out. Maybe I can make moogle-shaped pancakes.

What's a moogle?

[Terra opens her journal and flips through it, then shows a doodle that she made.]

They're creatures that live in a cave area near a town I visited once. Most of them don't speak the human language, but they're very friendly.

[ She looks at it eagerly. ] Aww, it's so cute! Those actually exist in your dimension? The most we have are like... cats or koalas if you're from Australia.

I don't know what koalas are, but we have cats, too. I like the moogles best, though. They're so sweet.

They're a lot like fuzzy gray bears, but they live in Australia. Cats are cool. My girlfriend and I had a kitten a couple of years ago. [ Pain. Right. ]

What are moogles like? Are they fluffy like bears?

[Terra nods.]

Very. They say 'kupo' a lot, and only one that I knew could speak the human language. I almost wish they were here, but it's probably better that they're away from the Malnosso.

...you have a girlfriend?

Yeah... Wouldn't want anything to happen to them. But they sound cute.

[ Pause. ] Did. Tara. She's a really special person. [ Totally still in love with her, too. Sob. ]

She has my name?

[Well, that's a bit awkward.]

Well, maybe she'll arrive here.

Uh... I guess so. I think the pronunciation's a little different, though. [ Like that really makes much of a difference, Will. ]

Maybe... [ And maybe she'll come from a point where she's still mad at Willow. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? Will doesn't sound very excited about the prospect of Tara coming to Luceti. ]
