Room 409

[Xander responds to an e-mail.]

Xander, backpack still over one shoulder because he hadn't yet stopped by his own room to check out whether the earlier mess had been cleaned up or what the latest desecration of his bed might be, knocked twice on the closed door of dorky_broots' room.

"Anybody home?"

Comments

Xander propped his elbows on his knees, and his chin on his open palms.

"The long, bloody, emotionally scarring version, or the short... bloody, emotionally scarring version? He dated one of my best friends, back when he had a soul. Things... didn't go well. People died. Also fish."

Broots bites down on his lip. "People died? That's...not good. How was he even allowed to go here?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander shrugged, his voice a bit bitter when he spoke. "Beats hell out of me. I guess he managed to snow somebody into thinking he was safe."

"Wait, you said he was with one of your friends before? Sorry, I'm just a bit confused and very, very nervous."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. "Yeah, he dated Buffy. It was a Thing. Like big, orange, made out of rock, clobberin' time Thing."

"Buffy?" Broots stares at Xander as if he grew a second head. "And why orange?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. Then he winced. "Wonder if she didn't want that getting around. I wouldn't want it getting around if I'd dated him."

He added after a second, "Orange because... I don't know. Cosmic radiation? Explains pretty much anything, really. Except for why Sue Storm and her clothes always went invisible at the same time, instead of the clothes first, no matter how many letters to the editor I... uh, people.... sent in."

Broots ignored the earlier, more boring, comments about dating and went right to the interesting part. "That's because the clothing was almost a part of her and when she made herself invisible, she made the clothes invisible too. So kinda like a second skin I guess? Stupid censors. I always thought it was kind of cheap of them and they just should have made it that her clothes didn't go invisible at all and just she did. That would have been very interesting."
