[the loud crack of plastering falling to pieces and a few moments of silence]

Buffy's gone.

Room empty?

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Name's gone.

Place must be looking for fresh blood for the new year.

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Probably.

[a pause]

You gonna be okay?

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[can't help but laugh at that]

Five by five.

Not like the place offed her, just sent her back to her ...army or whatever.

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she was here a long time...hard to get used to her not being around.

Faith

[rescued-apuppy.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what to say. I want to say something though.

Angel

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

...You alright?




We don't gotta hug or nothing, right?

Faith

[rescued-apuppy.livejournal.com]

[you got him to smirk at least?]

I'll be fine. I know she wasn't really happy here... just all that talk about how everyone left her [a pause] I didn't expect it to be her leaving is all.

Angel

[a snort, courtesy of old bitterness]

Yeah, well...

World's got a whole mess of wannabes just waiting to grab onto her. B's always got something to go back to.

Uh, sorry. Leaves you in kind of a lurch.

Faith

[rescued-apuppy.livejournal.com]

I just came off a loss... it took me a while to even sort out what had happened. I just wish I'd seen her one more time.

[and just like that he's fine again or he's just brooding more]

She's out there doing what she does best. I'm happy for her.

[the sound of sitting down, heavily. Then a door opening as he goes to check across the hall for her nameplate, and then his door shutting again because it's true, it's not there]

That sucks.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

...Sorry.

[demonmagnetism.livejournal.com]

[a long sigh]

Not your fault, Faith.

I guess I should be happy for her, she pretty much reviled the place with her own special fiery passion, right?

I'll just miss her.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, that's B.

Maybe this place hates the taste of Hellmouth. Spit you out.

[demonmagnetism.livejournal.com]

[trying to be vaguely light-hearted]

Hey, I bet you taste just as much of Hellmouth as I do.

Especially as I haven't been anywhere near it for a year. I taste lemony fresh.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

...Gone?

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

I...oh. I see.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

[haveto-believe.livejournal.com]

It isn't your fault.

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

Awww, I really liked her too.

..Hope Angel-Cakes is okay.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

She didn't cut your head off, so I'm guessing she didn't mind you.

He'll brood, 'cause you know, but ...guy usually comes out alright.

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

I'm always grateful when people don't cut my head off.

'Course. His Buffy-broods are usually epic, I'll go check in on him if he locks himself in his fortress of solitude for too long.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[kind of amused by that]

Yeah, kinda noticed they had it serious when she gutted me for him. They had a thing, guess he's not really over it.

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

Ouch, he must have missed that part out. I seriously doubt Angel will ever be completely over her, Cupcake.
