[Action]

[Today, Katie visits the Item Shop.  It's a short visit, and she's there to pick up anything remotely string-like that she can find. Why?  Kittens like string, and she's all out of the stash she had.

...okay, she may have other less frivolous reasons.  By this time she's mindful that certain grown ups may be looking for her, and thus her visit is hopefully timed for as few people around as possible.  In, out, a polite nod to the person behind the counter with the pretty hair, and back to the woods she goes.  Anyone that does see her in person might note she's thinner, but clean and tidy, unlike her last accidental appearance. 

She goes far deep into the forest with her string, sitting on a large, flat rock in the sun next to Rei's charm, and unwinds every different strand around her in the grass, threading it all carefully and lovingly between her fingertips as if blessing each one.  In a sense, she is.   The glamour she's stolen recently is going to a good cause, even if the cause is not readily apparent.]



((ooc:  you can run into her in the item shop by all means.  She's all the way down at the southernmost edge of the forest for anyone who might be out that way-- or might be using other means to search for someone.

Chances of hostility are pretty high.))

[ buffy opts not to be stern. her smile might not be happy but it has a sardonic warmth all the same.

so, gently: ]
Do you think he'll believe me? I'm not the world's greatest liar. Or even the world's most mediocre one.

[ because even she can sense that nothing it perfectly fine. perhaps she doesn't realize the depth of the problem, but she knows something's off. ]
herotypical: [ neutral ; angry ] (✝ and nine left)

I hear adventures are better when ventured with friends. Still...

[ lying to jack is difficult -- and not only because she doesn't like doing it. he's also the one who'd tried to teach her how to lie to people she cares about. all her tricks are his. ]

I'll do my best. On account of you being so important to him. So important to-- [ ...oh. hell. why not? ] So important to both of us.

[ something twists in her heart. she can't identify what. ]

Oh really? I never would have guessed that. I never heard of X-Men either.

But I'm not- [Vash shakes his head. Katie still manages to confuse him, but he's not going to let that stop him from talking about what he's been looking for her for.]

Katie, why did you attack Wolfwood?

What's the string for?

[Luke starts gathering the things he was looking for. Something about Katie's behavior feels off, but she hasn't done anything too weird yet, like turning into a cat...]

[ gently -- hesitantly -- she reaches to touch a finger under katie's chin. ]

You'd better be.

They sound really neat. And it's always good to like things that are different. I think I agree about dragons, too. I know the ones back home had a tough time.

Oh. Will you not be cooking?
herotypical: [ happy ] (✝ don't let the hungry serpant)

I see how it isn't. I'm certainly uninvited too, huh? [ buffy likes this version of lying. ] Maybe I could not stop by before dinner and provide no guidance and no help.

I'm a great cook. [ HAH. ]

Oh yea? What're you going to make?

[Luke picks up a few bottles sticks them in his pouch. He's acting uninterested, but he's paying attention.]
herotypical: [ snarky ] (✝ buy a shiny backpack)

Yeah, there were lots of dragons in the past, but there's only two left in my time. But what do you mean by proper?
