Meerkat reunion, The Park, Sunday afternoon

After seeing so many of the Meerkats at the dance yesterday, Buffy thought it was time for a proper reunion. So she had handwavily texted everyone, and was hoping the ones on the island would be able to make it.

This being Fandom she had now spent the last ten minutes clearing an area around a nice pink tree so it was free of zombie gremlins. It looked like a good place to hold the reunion. The tree seemed friendly, insofar trees could seem friendly. She'd brought blankets to sit on, and had placed them down on the ground, close to the tree. Buffy gave the tree a little pat. "There!" she said. "I hope they all show up. And won't get bitten by gremlins on the way..."

She thought the zombie gremlins were starting to get the point though. They seemed much less interested in her now. She'd brought enough stakes for everybody anyway, so that should be fine.



[OOC: Mainly for the Meerkats, but I suppose if any Stickbugs are around and want to crash the reunion for old times sake...]

Thank you island for proving that they'd made a wise decision leaving Victoria in Roswell with her grandparents. It's not that the zombie gremlins were particularly threatening, after all, TKing them into nearby trees seemed to be an effective deterrent. But Isabel knew her daughter, she'd probably want to take one home as a pet.

"It's almost like old times," Isabel said as she walked up. "Things attack and we hit back."

[And now I disappear for RL stuff till about 6ish. I'll reply to any pings then]

"Is it still the old times if this never really stopped here?" Aeryn wondered.

"But we left. And got...older." Not necessarily old. Just older. "So old times."

"I'll accept that," she said. "And at least this is fairly minor than some things we've dealt with."

"Exactly. No one is dying, kidnapped, or trapped in the past."

Don't even think about it little gremlin that was shambling closer. Isabel flung out her hand and sent the gremlin flying.

"This is kind of fun."
can_be_more: (mocking on the inside!aeryn)

"I definitely don't get enough of this at home," Aeryn added, looking for anything to shoot.

"Sadly we do. You'd think the damn demons would learn."

They weren't particularly smart demons fortunately.

"I don't even want to know what the neighbors think of us."

"As long as they're not calling the police, it doesn't matter," Aeryn reasoned.

"I bake cookies and bring them by after the particularly loud fights."

It seemed baked goods soothed the grumpy neighbor.

"Massachusetts is quieter?"
can_be_more: (focused omg!aeryn)

"Mostly. We don't have the problems coming to us like we did here. We bring Talyn to where I'm from so he can see what it is sometimes, but we tend to stay out of trouble." Which wasn't always as fun, but Aeryn would give up the fighting to keep Talyn out of it.

"I have to admit, violence does beat being a guy for the day," Isabel laughed.
can_be_more: (stop overprettifying me!aeryn)

"And to think, I hadn't expected Meerkats to come back," Aeryn said. She still had her pulse pistol out, in case of stray gremlins. She did not want to add shambling to her day.
can_be_more: (tf!aeryn)

Aeryn shook her head to politely decline. She had brand loyalty to her gun. "You do realize I'm married to a Stickbug, right?"
can_be_more: (really interested!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2015-09-06 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, of course not. I'm spying on them," Aeryn totally lied.
can_be_more: (dnams!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2015-09-06 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course. I'm very good at that," Aeryn said. "It's like they waited just to remind us of what this place is really like."
can_be_more: (my hair is better than yours!aeryn)

"I hear that a lot about this place," Aeryn said. "I can't exactly disagree with it."

Oh please, she loved it here.

"This is what happens when people keep discussing what kind of invasion we'll get this weekend." Alanna announced as she walked up.

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2015-09-06 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have full faith in the island's ability to come up with something new and special to throw at us." Alanna reassured her.
can_be_more: (loitering!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2015-09-06 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"We definitely did jinx it," Aeryn agreed.

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2015-09-06 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Alanna nodded. "We had it coming. At least we are well armed and prepared?"
can_be_more: (check out my abs!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2015-09-06 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is a benefit of Fandom," Aeryn said, and frowned. "I wonder just how many there are on the island right now. We probably put the Peacekeepers to shame."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2015-09-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"We certainly have a large range of very different experiences, at least." Alanna agreed. "No such thing as a quiet day in Fandom."
can_be_more: (brave like soldier!aeryn)

"We had some later, when I came back to teach," Aeryn said. "It was very strange. You'd be expecting something to happen all the time."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2015-09-06 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! What did you teach?" Alanna asked, curious that someone would actually want to teach.
can_be_more: (amusedish!aeryn)

[personal profile] can_be_more 2015-09-06 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"How to Survive Fandom," Aeryn said. "We covered both gremlins and invasions there."
