004 - Invitations

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Thank heavens the dream thing is over. That was...disturbing.

Would anyone like to join me for a cup of tea? Apparently I've been spending too much time in the library.

Buffy? Faith? Willow?

Anyone new?

Giles and tea, who'da thunk it.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. I'm being outwardly social. That's new, at least.

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

Oh well I think it's cute. You out and about, making friends. Find a girl here yet? I mean there are a lot of them. I've been looking. [gone :P did you catch that Giles? that super fast writing and sharpie markering out???]

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I...hadn't noticed, actually. They all seem rather..young. [He noted. Then he cleaned his glasses and, happily, it was gone.]

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

They're not all so young, and some of them are pretty crazy. Maybe it's best you stick to the books and being all head-shakey at us. You'll end up with the cleanest glasses in the castle.

So tea? Have you found someone?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I think I already have the cleanest glasses in the castle. And my...my romantic life one way or the other shouldn't concern you.


...I don't know.

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt that at all, and it's not that I'm concerned. Call it morbid curiosity.

Well if you're still looking, I'm still up for it.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

...Lovely.

Then we should have tea.

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

Where should we meet? Cafe? Diner? Cafeteria? Your place? Mine?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

My place? Other people will be elsewhere and ... stare or something.

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

Aww, my place is just as good as yours Giles, but that's fine since I don't have tea here. I'll be down in a bit.

[timeskip >> and knock knock!]

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

[He made sure to have tea, and even a kettle he's gotten to work in his room. Amazing what you can get when you ask, and it saves haunting the kitchen. Willow gets a bright smile when he opens the door.]

Hello!

[At least he's not wearing a sombrero, but it's about the same brightness of smile.]

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

[aww the sombrero would've been funny! Still Willow is happy to see him, happy that Buffy and Faith are both coma free and that things are seemingly okay for the moment! Plus? Tea!]

Well hello yourself! You're awfully chipper today, it's good! No grumpiness is always good.

[Willow enters and takes a seat in a chair, he has chairs kthx, looking brightly up at him]

So how have you been doing on the whole no-mojo thing?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

[Well if he was chipper before, a little cloud goes over his face at the mention of the no-mojo, but he hides it and goes and gets them tea]

I feel...useless, which is ridiculous since I never really used it much to begin with, I suppose. But I always knew I could, even if I didn't, and now I can't, and that is disturbing.

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

What kind of tea?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I would assume whatever one can find in the kitchens. I'm fairly partial to Darjeeling, myself.

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

English tea, then. Sounds nice.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I have always thought so, personally. Then again, I'm English, so. It's possibly a bias on my part.

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

I like Japanese tea. I'm not Japanese, though.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Japanese tea is always an acceptable option, I've found, though I'm less fond of white teas. Too mild.

[aversely.livejournal.com]

Tea. Sounds dubious.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. It might break the world down should we indulge.

[aversely.livejournal.com]

I think Willow and I are going the hot cocoa route.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Also a viable unwindy chatty sort of beverage.

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

[Shyly dictated]

Del likes tea...

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Would you like to join me for some?

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

Would he be angry grr?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Why would I be angry?

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

[Insert room for a shrug]

People are loud and... stuff lots... So. I'll come!

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I promise not to be loud.

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

He's never banging bleeding making bad~ Nice, yes? Realism.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

He...tries not to be, at least.

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

Realistically seems to be good at it~

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Really? That's very kind of you to say.

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

Is it...?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I think so...?

[fishy-go-byebye.livejournal.com]

That must be good...

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Disturbing?

What, the library run out of books or something?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

If only... Yes, something like that.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Tea?

What's that, then?

And what's wrong with libraries?

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all wrong with libraries. My friends just tell me I spend too much time in them, so I thought I would venture out. Tea seemed a reasonable excuse.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Yours as well? Really, it's hardly my fault it's more interesting than most places.

You can't have tea in libraries? [probably teasing now, yes]

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

No, it really isn't. They can learn to understand that.

[half of a laugh]

I used to, but I don't know about here...

[very reckless rulebreaker of a librarian he was, yes.]

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

I don't know, some of them are a bit slow.

[smirking] I think it's worth a try.

[would be impressed]

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't say that, precisely...[out loud at least]

Having tea in the library?

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Well, not to them.

Why not? Just have to be careful round the books. Which would probably clean themselves anyway, actually.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Oh, I've done it several times in my own. And I suppose...no one would really object, here.
