2nd Wicca Spell [Action]

[slayersidekick]

[ 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.))

What's a moogle?

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[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.

[slayersidekick]

[ 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.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

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

[slayersidekick]

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?

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[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?

[slayersidekick]

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. ]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

She has my name?

[Well, that's a bit awkward.]

Well, maybe she'll arrive here.

[slayersidekick]

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. ]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Which confuses Terra a bit.]

You don't want her here?

[slayersidekick]

It's... complicated. [ Complicated in a different way since the last time she'd said that phrase. This time it's not a matter of having turned gay. ] I don't want her in a place like this, I'd love to see her again anyway, but... we were... we had a fight a-and we broke up for a while.

[ Can you tell the separation is killing her? Not to mention the memory of what she did. If she came here... she might still be mad at me. ]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Terra doesn't quite understand, not really, but she can tell it's hard on Willow.]

I'm sorry....

[She shakes her head, feeling that's a lacking response, but not sure what to say.]

Love sounds so complicated.

[slayersidekick]

It is, but i-it's really nice if you find the right person. It can be almost magical.

I really miss her...

[ Something she hasn't allowed herself to say for a long time. ]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

Magical....

[There's a sympathetic look at Willow's missing Tara, then she hesitates before speaking up again.]

...can I ask you something?

[slayersidekick]

Sure. [ She glances at Terra curiously. ]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Terra tugs at the end of her ponytail a little.]

Well...I'm still trying to understand love. Does being in love with another woman make it different, or...not really? I hope that doesn't sound stupid....

[slayersidekick]

No, it doesn't. I've gotten that question before. [ She pauses, thinking of how to word this. ] I loved a guy once before, too. He was really a great guy and we had something special, too. But that got broken and then I met Tara and... what we had... it was something more. I-it was everything I thought love should be. And Tara was perfect.

I-I think some people find that with guys and some people find it with girls. I just happened to find it with a woman.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Terra nods slowly.]

I don't know if I'll find it with either, but...I hope so, one day.

[slayersidekick]

[ She smiles sadly and nods in response. ]

I think you will. You just kind of have to keep your mind open. When I found Tara... I wasn't looking for anything, but we just... clicked. And I just knew. She was my forever.
