Just voicetesting along.

Dear Mun,

I see what you're doing here. You're bored. I get it. I've been bored before. Actually, I'm bored right now. But see, it's different: I like being bored! Bored-Buffy-time is great! It means the world isn't currently ending, for one thing. Want more bored-Buffy-time! I don't get it a lot.

So, if you could just... leave me to my blissful boredom, that'd be great. Buuut you're not gonna do that, are you? They never do. Okay, fine. Let's get this over with. I'm ready. Slay me.

God, I'm just so lucky you're not thinking about the whole going steady with a game right now, huh? 'Cause then I'd have to devise a diabolical plan to make you fall out of love and break up with it. And those are so much work. Usually with collateral damage. And actually, I have that with everything, so that would be a very good reason to just... leave me alone!

...

Fine, fine, I'm done complaining. Let's talk.

[She tilted her head.]

Well that depends what you would think of being my Valentine.

[at_stake]

[Dubious. Face.]

Thanks, but sorry. I don't swing that way.

Also, hey, aren't you a vampire?

[THIS IS SO A VALID ARGUMENT. SHUSH.]

(OOC: Did a quick googling and I hope this is okay!)

[daughters_of_janus]

Aw if you say so kitten, I think I could change your mind on that.

[Jeanette tilted her head.]

Well yeah I'm a vampire but what does that have to do with anything?

(OOC: A quick googling should of given you everything you needed to know xD)

[at_stake]

[Those eyebrows are a-climbin'.]

Okay. Let me break this down for you. You vampire, me slayer. Me have stake, you become dust. So really, this dating thing? Not gonna work.

[daughters_of_janus]

[She made a face at Buffy.]

Oh like you keep up with hunting here. You're obviously not one of those Holier-than-thou preacher types so why do you do it?

[at_stake]

[Buffy makes a face right back!]

Destiny, sacred duty, whatchamacallit. Also that thing where vampires eat people and someone has to prevent that.

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh I get it! Vampires in your world are different from vampires in mine.

[She smiled clearly thinking she understood.]

Vampires in my world don't kill people we feed off of, it's pretty frowned upon in most cases to begin with and is just plain stupid. And me personally? I only feed off of willing partners. Of course I have to let them just believe it is a kink.

[at_stake]

[...

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.

Yes, this is the rare moment in which Buffy is out of witty comebacks.]

[daughters_of_janus]

[She couldn't help but be a little smug that Buffy was wrongly making accusations.]

[at_stake]

[Tries to be nonchalant about it, but eyes Jeanette warily.]

And you're sure. About the not actually killing people part.

[daughters_of_janus]

Perfectly sure. It doesn't work like in the movies precious. A bite doesn't change you, it's more deliberate than that. I mean obviously there are exceptions but I'm not one of them.

[Then after a moment she says]

And it can work the other way around; I mean humans get something out of drinking vampire blood.

[at_stake]

Well, duh.

[Looking maybe slightly offended, but then she quirks that eyebrow again, visibly skeptical.]

They do?

[daughters_of_janus]

Yeah; a stronger body, faster speed, a longer life span and if they're particularly good they can pick up some of the powers of the vampire they feed off of.

[Thinking about if for a moment she would say]

While we're not perfect I think the hunters are the worst monster in our world. I mean some of these guys torture us before killing us off.

[at_stake]

[Staaares again for a moment, then shakes her head.]

Your world is really different than mine.

[daughters_of_janus]

Yeah well wait until you meet Gary. I think you're going to be really surprised if he's right and you guys only have one type of vampire.

[at_stake]

[Blink, blink.]

Well, there are some rare exceptions, but... generally, yes. Demons, bloodsuckers, really don't care if they kill humans... the works.

[A beat.]

Who's Gary?

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh yeah, if you go around killing humans you're marked as an idiot. I mean basically if you keep dwindling down your sense of humanity like that you're just going to become a blood-thirsty monster. No one wants to go that far.

[She smiled at that.]

He's an older vampire, I was turned in `69 but he's from the old silver screen days. Do you want to meet him? I think he's nearby.

[at_stake]

[Her eyes go a bit distant for a moment and she laughs dryly.] Funny, that. I've met some vampires who wanted anything but to be made to feel like a human being.

[Shrug.] Of course, I also know the opposite case, but I think that one's an extreme exception to the rule.

[Then she looks up at Jeanette again and nods casually.]

Sure, why not?

[gary_golden]

[And suddenly appearing out of nowhere.]

Well you asked for it boss.

[at_stake]

[Jumps a little.]

God, can you guys stop doing that? Some things stay the same, I guess.

[gary_golden]

Oh so your vampires can use obfuscate too? Interesting.

[He smiled at her.]

By the way it's kind of simple explanation of political groups in our society but the vampires that are all about the inner beast and killing are generally thought to be part of the Sabbat since the other side, the Camarilla who believe in humanity would have them executed when they got too excessive and started drawing attention.

[Buffy would probably notice the distinct smell of the sewer coming off of him.]

[at_stake]

Obfuwhat? Don't think so. They're just really fast and have a habit of appearing and disappearing suddenly. They warrant thoughts of bell-bedecked necklaces. Did I really just say that?

[Oh, now it's getting wordy. Buffy's attention is starting to slip.]

O... kay? That's great. I think.

[gary_golden]

Oh, then no. I was standing here the whole time you just never saw me.

[He rolls his eyes commenting,]

You and Jeanette would get along better than you think

[And then summarizing what he said,]

To sum it up; Use shotguns and knives on Sabbat, use words on a Camarilla.

[at_stake]

... okay, that? Is creepy. Don't do it if you wanna avoid a dusty end, I might just stake you on accident.

And shotguns? Are you serious?

[gary_golden]

Stakes don't work that well on us boss. You have to get us in the heart and even that it only paralyzes.

Well I would more suggest the knife but a shotgun is one of the only effective guns. Also I'll tell you right now, if you try using a holy item you're going to get yourself killed. They do absolutely nothing to us.
