Sunday Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter was sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in front of him and a box of cookies from J. GOB.  He'd found some Coca-Cola (and still couldn't get over the fact it came in cans now) and was flipping through the channels on the TV.

Oooh, war movie.  That looked interesting.  The planes looked familiar too.  Peter sat forward in his seat as the title rolled.  Rescuing Corproral Smith?  Did they make movies about World War II now?


OOC: open for all of course but especially saltandammo

"Place where vampires and demons tend to hang out, even though that's usually where the Slayer lives," Willow explained, again as though this were no big whoop. "So - wow. Young Buffy. Pre-me Buffy. Pre-Angel Buffy!"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Pre-you? Pre-Angel? Slayer?" Jamie asked only slightly... okay majorly confused. "Okay... I think I need a primer on all things Willow."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Willow said. "Okay. Well for starters I'm Jewish."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Mazel Tov!" Jamie said. "And you come from Sunnydale."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Correct," Willow said, smiling and nodding brightly.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Where demons and vampires hang out on a hellmouth and your friends date vampires," Jamie said trying to get it straight. "But with a Buffy who was with you. Not the one here. Or Angel. Whoever that is."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" Willow said, pleased Jamie had gotten it.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Okay..." Jamie said nodding. "I'm betting this school probably doesn't quite measure up to your old."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Still figuring that out," Willow admitted. "Everybody seems so comfortable with the weird stuff. It's like being a witch from a hellmouth is no big deal at all."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"You're a witch?" Jamie asked looking somewhat surprised. "That's kind of cool. Though somehow I'm betting your more Glinda than Witch of the West, right?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"No?" Willow squeaked. Then, realizing this was probably cheating after Jamie had trusted her by letting her know he was a mutant, she slumped her shoulders. "I mean yes. But good witch! Only good spells! No harm to anybody except bad guys!"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I believe you," Jamie said with a grin. "Anyone who is concerned about the evil of Tuna must be good."

Willow allowed herself to relax. "Thanks. I get a little antsy sometimes. Try to burn a girl at the stake and it leaves an impression, you know?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Been there. Except for being a girl part, which I here happens sometimes at this place... so hey, I won't count that out as a possible experience for me," Jamie said with a nod. "So, yeah. Know where you're coming from."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"You got burned too?" Willow asked. "Was it because of Hansel and Gretel?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well... chased by mutant haters. With torches," Jamie admitted. "Nothing to do with kids and breadcrumbs. Different type of persecution."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Still sounds like a whole lot of no fun," Willow said.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't," Jamie agreed. "But it's nice to know that I have a friend around here who can relate."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," Willow said. "Mine was my mom."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie just blinked at Willow.

And blinked again.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"What?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Your mom tried to burn you at the stake?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded.
