So, um -- I know we haven't been here very long, but... I thought, hey, why not do something all Christmasy? The snow's already melted and everything, so it feels a little belated, but... I have - things. Not special gifty possession-type permanent things, because I didn't really know what to get anyone or where to even get that kinda thing around here, but um - I made cookies? And I have little cookie bundles for... pretty much everybody.

If you live in Thor's house, I'll be leaving them outside of your room doors, so keep an eye out! Um -- Actually, I think that's just... Boromir, so... Boromir, there are cookies for you! Oh! Oh, and Bayonetta - I know we haven't actually met face to face that much? But I figured a little bit of holiday bonding totally wouldn't hurt since we do the whole bathroom-sharing thing. So you have cookies, too.

I have some for a bunch of other people, too, but I think everybody pretty much lives in different places, so... I'll deliver them throughout the day. It'll be like a city tour.

[ She starts to go off to do something else, then remembers she's actually not done talking, despite all the slightly flour-dustedness of her present appearance. ]

Happy Holidays, by the way! Even if we're all not at home where holidays happen, I'm sure at least some of you have a celebration to get all yay-winter with, right?

[ And then she goes to leave again.

But just kidding because she remembered - ]

Oh! The cookies are snickerdoodles! I hope everybody likes. And I've got tons extra, so if anybody wants some, feel free to speak up! We'll play meet-and-greet cookie delivery.

[ In addition to Boromir and Bayonetta within her own district, throughout the day, Buffy will also be delivering cookies to Sam Winchester, Morgana Pendragon, Castiel, Merlin, Yuri Lowell, Snow Villiers, and Kovu. Action threads for these are more than welcome, and encouraged! If anyone in Thor house would like to bump into her round and about, that's welcome via action as well! ]

[There's the tiny quirk of a smile, at the apology, before Sam shakes his head slightly.]

Remember the whole, uh... what'd you call it, trans-dimensional ball of energy?

[Sam pauses for another moment.]

-- the point where my brother is from, I jumped into the gate of Hell to trap Lucifer in the Cage. Adam came with me. That was -- three years ago? Three years ago.

[The memories are kind of odd, and fuzzy, but Sam's pinned it down to about three years, give or take. He could ask Castiel, if he wanted, but forcing anyone to relive that day isn't in Sam's priority list.]

[ Okay, this is the point at which Buffy stops and just... listens. And the more he talks, the more it makes her heart hurt for him. The more it makes her empathize. The more she understands just how much like her he really is. So, before she even speaks, she reaches over and takes his hand. Nothing harmful about it; it's pure and innocent and comforting, in every way possible. ]

You really... Are like, I don't know - boy... me. Sort of.

[Sam almost starts, at Buffy taking his hand, but he relaxes almost instantly, not actually bothered by the gesture itself, but rather the realization at how unfamiliar its become. Hn.

He needs a psychotherapist.

He offers her half a smile, almost distractedly.]

I'm pretty sure you're infinitely more badass.

Please. [ Still not letting go of his hand, either. This is totally casual. Yep. Normal in every possible way. ]

You hurled yourself into Hell to save the world. I didn't even know where I was hurling myself. You went into it knowing --... Exactly where you'd end up. And you still did that. Major badass points, Sam.

[He hadn't thought of it that way. Sam still didn't, not really. He remembered, with a frightening clarity, the feeling of terror he felt when he woke up, thinking he was trapped in Hell. And then, when he realized he wasn't, the crippling grief when he realized Castiel and Bobby were dead because he hadn't stopped Lucifer in time.

And how happy he was when he found out both of them were in one piece.

Too bad that only lasted barely a year. You can only cheat death so many times.]

It was just something I had to do.

[That sounds better. Fitting.]

-- I'm pretty sure Dean is still half convinced I'm a demon.

That doesn't make you any less of a hero. Duty, destiny -- call it whatever you want. It's what we do. But you can't tell me that it doesn't go severely under-appreciated. So, from one person who just does what they have to do to another... You're still totally cool. [ She leans over toward him, nudging him lightly with her elbow, a smile on her face. It's not just any smile, though; there's so much behind it, hiding beneath the girly shape of her lips. There are creases where a twenty-year-old should never have them, and the glint in her eye isn't just because there's an understanding. There's just a world full of emotion and deeper understanding of how hard it is - it's hard, and it's every day. But it's in a smile, nonetheless. After all, the hardest thing to do in this world is to live in it. ]

That's ridiculous, you don't have any horns, scales, or weird silver telepathy-causing blood.

Edited 2011-12-28 21:28 (UTC)

Yeah... I'm not a hero. I'll definitely take the 'cool' part, though.

[Sam Winchester, the boy with the demon blood. Kind of not a heroic being. And Sam doesn't really want to be a hero. He's much more content just being himself and doing the best he can in order to keep the people he loves safe. That's the entire reason why he bought into this life to begin with, why he turned his back on a normal life of successful law and business. Because he needed to protect the people he loved.

But Sam laughs, at the description of the demons.]

Yeah, no -- in my world, demons are twisted spirits that possess people. No horns, no scales. They just possess people and screw up the system on the sly. Most of the time.

[Then there are demons like Crowley.]

[ She just purses her lips a little and looks down. She doesn't want to argue, but she disagrees. She thinks he's probably more of a hero than he'd like to admit. But... Dead horses, beating them futile, etcetera. ]

Oh - huh. That's kinda weird. Demons come in all different forms, and species and stuff, where I'm from. From all different types of hell dimensions and universes and all that stuff. Hence the transdimentional ball of world-ripping apocalypsifying energy.
