menial | 10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.

Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

...she said, as if "going evil" was a thing that regular people did.

...Regular people? Maybe not. But I guess I should've expected it from a vampire.

... Does that go for both vampires?

[ yes. absolutely. wholly. entirely. completely. because spike... ]

N-no.

"N-no."

['Could I get a translation of that into English or Lucetinese or whatever, from the original "lying"?']

It's...complicated?

It always is, isn't it?

The important part is that he's no longer a threat. Ideally. As long as he keeps his soul a-and...even then...

[ he's usually alright.

kinda.

sorta. ]

Well, I'm confident now.

How about this, then?

I trust him with my life. [ now. ]

...

All right. Good enough for me, then.

And if you're lucky? You'll never have to meet him.

Now that's the kind of sentiment I can get behind. I had enough of vampires with Sparrow that one time.

He wasn't even my kind of vamp. He was like -- the Diet Coke of vamps.

['I feel like he might be the Diet Coke of a lot of things.']

Yeah, but it was enough to convince me I'm just going to quit soda altogether. Bad for you anyway.

...And yet so bewitchingly tasty.

.......

Gross, Buffy.

...I mean Diet Coke! Oh my God!

[ she didn't mean diet coke. ]

....

Even then, it doesn't compare to regular Coke... or Asahina-san's tea...

I dunno. After a long enough time? You kinda learn to prefer Diet...

... ['I repeat: gross.']

Well, I don't think you need to be on a diet, honestly. Plus, there's all the chemicals.

...Somehow, I don't think chemicals are gonna be the eventual inevitable end of me.

I don't know. Look at all those classic rockers who've survived to today. It's the chemicals that are going to take them down.

As much as I would one day like to be as horrifically wrinkly as a classic rocker? I'm mostly certain some lucky baddie will get to me first.

....

Don't say that, Buffy. That's - just depressing.

Besides, you're way too good for that.
