The Devil's Nest | Thursday Evening

Buffy was so glad she was at work today rather than some hellish dungeon that cruelly denied her caffeine. She had been a coffee-drinking machine this week and that still held up today despite the fact she was surrounded by booze. At least she'd be perky for work.

She was even ignoring the fact that the DJ kept playing One Direction. Didn't matter, coffee existed.

Where there was a Buffy.

Jaina didn't like this week any more than she liked last week- for entirely different reasons, of course- and as per normal, when there needed to be distraction, it was time for the bar. Because if she spent any more time at the gym she'd have to start paying rent, mainly.

"You're new," she noted, taking a seat.

"That's true," she said with a nod. "I'm Buffy."

"Jaina. I'm here Sundays. Hopefully you're very new and missed last week?" Jaina said.

"Sadly, no, I was here for dungeon playtime," Buffy said. "But I've seen worse so the island didn't manage to scare me off."

"I want to say 'I'm sorry' to that," Jaina said, "and I'm not sure to which part. Maybe both."

"Eh, don't be. Dealing with weird and slightly terrifying things is sort of in my job description," Buffy said. "Oh, did you want a drink? Sorry, I'm new to this whole bartender thing."

"Vodka tonic," she said, because it was that sort of week. "How'd you end up here? At the bar, I mean."

"I met Eric at a party and I aske for a job," Buffy said as she made an attempt at not messing up Jaina's drink too badly. "It was nice of him to say yes, especially since I threatened to kill him a few minutes before."

"What did he do that you threatened to kill him?" she asked, like she was surprised she didn't have to ask that more.

"Be a vampire," she said casually as she sat down Jaina's drink. "But then he assured me he was the good kind of vampire. Goodish anyway."

"Goodish is about right," Jaina said. "I think it's been a while since we've had an evil vampire around, anyway."

"How long have you been here exactly?" she asked. Just so she could gauge how long 'a while' meant.

"Time moved kind of funny for me back home for a while, but I've been here on and off for six years in Fandom time. And I have no idea how that happened."

You're old, Fandom. So old.

"Ah. So the time thing is not just me then." It was barely 2005 where she was from. "Is it weird I find that comforting?"

"Nope," Jaina said. "We've had people from all over. Where'd you come from?"

"Sunnydale. Town in California, doesn't exist anymore," she said. "I spent the last year traveling before deciding to settle here. I thought it'd be a change for the normal...I was wrong."

"Yeah, there's no normal here. Zero," Jaina confirmed. "Sorry."

"I'm not sure if I know how to handle normal anyway," she said, sighing. "Probably gets boring after a while too."

"Probably," she agreed. "Though the only thing I really know about normal is that it sounds boring."

"Does this place allow normal people?" Buffy wondered. "Haven't really met any yet."

"We've had some. Oh, we have Clint," Jaina said, only because they'd had this conversation. "And maybe the kids in his class. That might be it. Or I need to meet more people."

"If they dealt with stuff like last week do they still count as normal?" Buffy asked. "Or am I getting too philosophical here?"

Jaina had to think about it. "I personally think anyone without powers can be classified as normal, but they might not come from a normal place. But if they deal with stuff like last week in a regular basis outside of Fandom, I'm not sure how to count that anymore," she said. "If we just counted it in Fandom, then no, we have no normal people."

Alice squinted at the music. It was a totally valid thing to do, really. Things like these made her rethink her policy of trying to get out more.

"And here I thought going to the bar that cards would change anything," Alice said, still squinting.

Don't act like you don't love One Direction. Everybody does.

For a studly vampire.

Studly vampire was there and definitely not going to eat anyone!

Well, unless they asked nicely, because what can you do? You should reward politeness.

You know who loves One Direction? Sam loves One Direction.

SWEET FOREIGN PRINCES.
