Family Practice

[singindemonhq]

The Corona De La Sangre dojo is still running. It takes a while to learn those kinds of skills, especially if you've spent a couple of millenia depending on mojo. It was quite tricky in some ways, during the Hunters' Moon, but things should settle down, now.

I've picked up some experience since we've been travelling through the last four of five dimensions, but there's always more to learn - that's the idea behind having the dojo, of course.

By the customs where I come from the operative just meets whoever fate serves up and takes her away with him. I've never been too sure about how people here are supposed to feel about their in-laws - by the time they make a song and dance about it things have probably gone wrong. Anyway, the Little Wolf set it up so I was combat-paired with my brother-in-law.

I hadn't been over-pleased not to have been able to stay near enough to Erynne to be sure she was OK during the Hunters' Moon. I don't usually wait in the audience and sometimes it helps to just work off tension. I practice a lot anyway, but ... Stephen maybe had troubles of his own, too - at least when he found out about my combat methods. (I did not toast him! I didn't make the slightest attempt.) It's just natural for me to smoke out when anyone tries to get to close grips.

When Erynne they decided that it wasn't permitted I was Ok about it.
<Firewalled against all who mean harm,
see the words,
obey the charm. It might not do for Stephen and the rest of them to see how often that's creative use of illusion, anyway. A fast illusion can sometimes give me time to really smoke out or not, of course.

Then - my clothes do tend to ... reshape if somebody grabs at them... It's not "cheating". We're all learning new tricks, combat tricks, anyway. Using that much Mojo can use up a a lot of energy, if the operative gets out of practice, so I haven't had much time to update this journal and so on. I must think up some kind of training that Erynne and me can have some fun with.

Hot to trot? *smirks* Like you said, I'm the 'Do That Girl'.
How's blondie doing these days?

Buffy? She's good. What d'you care? Why aren't you in jail or, or
someplace worse?

[faith-slays.livejournal.com]

*eyes narrow dangerously*
Yeah, you'd like that. Well, news flash, honey, you're living
in Hell's backyard. You so sure I don't belong right here?

*puts a gentle hand on your arm*
Faith, you were the one saying you wanted another chance. Let it go.

Why is is bad guys always come in threes? Drusilla, this Demon Prince,

*chokes*
Boyfriend?! Don't flatter yourself, Harris.

*materializes behind you*

*chain rattling*

Bon jour, l'Assassine.

*jumps straight up in the air*

Don't do tha--

No. No way.

He's only visitin' - you aren't a vitalist, are you?

[faith-slays.livejournal.com]

*eyes the newcomer, hand on a stake*
You know each other?

[singindemonhq.livejournal.com]

Up to a point - he has theatrical experience...

[ghost-walker.livejournal.com]

"To be or not to be, that is the question..." How is it with you and your clan, Singer?

[xrileyfinnx.livejournal.com]

I'd say it was more like he was complimenting you. You don't
have the cleanest record, you know.

[faith-slays.livejournal.com]

*hard stare*
And I'm supposed to care what you think, why?
My 'record' didn't bother Harris when he had an
itch needin' to be scratched.

*voice hardens*
No worries.

*Harmony claps her hands furiously*

Ooo! A fight! Yey!

[faith-slays.livejournal.com]

Harris is always good at gettin' his ass kicked...

*glares*

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to baldness.

[singindemonhq.livejournal.com]

but it's not the only cause...

[faith-slays.livejournal.com]

I think he's talkin' about Harris' tendency to resort to hair-pulling
whenever we get physical.

[singindemonhq.livejournal.com]

Does he?? Well, whatever floats your boat, I suppose...

[tm-harmony.livejournal.com]

*Harmony wrinkles up her nose*

Huh?

[w-rosenberg.livejournal.com]

I think he's talking about the whole 'chick fight' thing, not that Xander's a chick but...you get the drift.

((sorry, yikes they got busy! I didn't see your comment.
*laughs wondering how Yoda would know about vampires*))

Them dolls that they uses abroad. They models someone in wax, and then they puts a a bit of that someone's hair on the poppet and then they sticks pins in it. Then the person gets the pain where the doll gets the pin.
