Jackalope, Campire, Wednesday Morning

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan had gotten up again, a few hours after the naked mutiny, and discovered that the electricity was absent. Including the electricity that powered the hot water heater. He fiddled around a bit in the bathroom before grabbing the electric kettle from the living room (completely missing the fact that there was a plain, metal one as well), filling it, and taking it out to the campfire, where he spoke six words to it that set it whistling in a matter of seconds. He made his tea, and sat back enjoying the morning sunlight.

"I love wizardry," he said.

There was a sign on the bathroom door that said:

Power's out, but I've talked to the
showerheads so we've got hot water.
-Ronan



(ooc: open. feel free to wander by and marvel at the mysteriously boiling electric kettle.)

Cordelia woke up in an excellent mood. She'd made a few friends, had a good night's sleep, and even better, had secured a date. Granted, it was a Thursday night date, and not a Saturday night date, but this place was already screwy enough, so she supposed that it didn't really matter.

She grabbed her things and headed to the shower. Once she saw the note her mysterious cabinmate had left, she was, for once, thankful for magic.

Buffy was on her third campfire of the morning and was starting to give up. "Hi, um... New person! Do you guys have hot water? For a shower, not for tea. I've already had tea." She paused. "I'm Buffy. Hi."

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan smiled a bit, amused by her ebulliency. "Hi, yeah. Our power's out, too, but I talked to the showerheads, so they're giving us hot water anyway." He paused, and it was totally not in a sarcastic way. Which is rare, for Ronan. "I'm Ronan."

"...You talked to the showerheads?" Buffy blinked. That was weird, even to her. "Are they alive today? Is THAT why there isn't any hot water? Are they on strike?"

John emerged from the cabin, clean and refreshed from his hot shower. "Ronan! Haven't seen ya around, buddy!" John said cheerfully. "And thanks for the hot water. I'm really liking this magic stuff."

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan waved at John, and shrugged. "I've been hiding out in my alcove busy." He smiled a bit. "And it's wizardry, not magic. There's a difference."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Err, sorry. Listen, I'm meeting a friend at Caritas tonight, do you wanna come along and watch me make a fool outta myself singing?" John was worried it sounded like a plea rather than a simple invite. He just wasn't sure if meeting Annette at Caritas was a date or just hanging out. Always best to bring backup - and it meant socializing Ronan. Very big plus to his plan.

Cordelia emerged from the shower to find that there was no breakfast in the cabin, nor was their coffee.

So much for pretty boys and their promises. Typical, she thought to herself.

Stepping out of the cabin, she smiled and waved at John and a guy she hadn't met...who was smiling at Buffy Summers.

"Oh, no. First Rosenburg and now you?"

Buffy's eyebrows went up and she turned to frown at Cordelia. "What? You again? "

[cordy-80.livejournal.com]

Cordelia frowned right back, suddenly forgetting her need for caffeine. "Yes, me again. You know, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get away from you. I'm beginning to think that you, not Marcie, are my stalker."

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan turned to the newcomer; as she'd emerged from Jackalope, he assumed that he she must be one of the cabinmates he'd not yet met. "Good morning," he said, smiling softly. "I'm Ronan. I don't believe I've yet had the pleasure?"

[cordy-80.livejournal.com]

Cordelia was too caught up in her disgust with seeing Buffy again to give this new guy much time. "Yeah, I'm Cordy. I'm gorgeous, I know, blahbity-blah, great to meet you." She paused. "And thanks for the hot water this morning."

Seely handn't gone back to bed after Hades had discovered the mutiny, so he was surprisingly awake (and significantly less naked) when he wandered by. "Morning."

[not_in_the_book]

"Good morning," Ronan said. "Tea?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Seely said with a smile. "But I'm more of a coffee man."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you've got clothes on!" Buffy called out, grinning.

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Buffy," Seely grinned. "I always have clothes on. Except when I don't."

[cordy-80.livejournal.com]

Cordelia's head was reeling. First Willow, then Buffy, and now..

"Angel?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely's eye started twitching. Just a little. Hardly noticeable, really.

"For the love of...I'm in sunlight!"

"What the heck, power outage," Turtle was muttering into her breakfast before heading into the store today, trying to figure out when this might have happened, and if much in the store freezers was ruined and if this effected SquishyBot and who this Ronan guy was and if he could help with that like he had the bathroom....

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan looked up as the girl left the cabin and walked by. "Hello?" he said.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hel-looooo," Turtle said, swallowing down some cereal and then looking the guy over. Not someone she recognized. "You Ronan?"

Dean got up and groaned at the lack of ability to make coffee quickly. The actual hot water in the showers though helped to make up for it though. After making use of it, he wandered out to the campfire thinking he could maybe get something edible -- and drinkable -- done over the fire.

"Morning," he said to the people already there.

[not_in_the_book]

"Morning, Dean...?" There was a hesitant quality there, as Ronan wasn't quite yet certain of his ability to tell his similar-looking cabinmates apart.

[cordy-80.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Dean," Cordelia said, still frustrated and seriously in need of coffee.
