Fourteenth Race

[ Guess who's snug as a bug in a rug in his room on the barge and has two thumbs? THIS GUY. ]

I may be a little lost on some memories of this place, but there is one thing I remember. One way or another, ports always suck. You can count me out. Drake, if you still want to go you'll have to find someone else to take you.

What happened to your memory? Were you attacked by someone?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I took a ten year vacation.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

...Seriously? Ten years?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I've got the wife and two kids to prove it. Something was messing with my memories and made me forget this place when I went home.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Or they're messing with your memory now. Do you feel ten years older?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Feel it? I look it, too. The last ten years were real, no doubt about it.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

You do realize how crazy that sounds, right?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

My whole life sounds crazy. Compared to that, this is pretty normal.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Your life sounds crazier then you going on a ten year vacation?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Basically, yeah. I'd explain, but it's complicated.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll bet it is.

[slayage]

Hence the me not going this time. [Plus her closest friend is in a barge coma and she doesn't feel comfortable leaving him. :|] Last time we talked I was a little, um, catatonic? Let's try again. Hi. I'm Buffy.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Haha, last time we talked I was ten years younger. Hi Buffy, I'm Wally.

[slayage]

[Smile!] Ten years, huh? That's a long vacation. Do anything fun?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Oh, just normal stuff. Got married, had kids, saved the world.

[slayage]

That does sound fun. And sleepless. One of those is my life.

How many kids?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I manage pretty quickly.

Two. Jai and Iris.

[slayage]

Yeah, I remember. [The semi-flirting about his speed when she was in shock. lololol.]

Cute. I only have a little sister. No husbands or kids in my future.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ HAHAHA he doesn't. :| ]

You do a lot of time travel?

[slayage]

No. Just. [Pause.] I don't have enough time off, and Slayers don't really die of old age. [She still smiles, if not a little sadly.] No big. I think I'd hate being pregnant. Have to buy all new clothes. And the elastic waistbands. [Fake, teasing shudder.]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't brush off the possibility. Anything could happen. Especially if you live a dangerous life. Just live in the moment.

[slayage]

[Shrug.] Maybe. [Not to mention the fact that she keeps falling in love with vampires...] Still kinda playing mom to my sister anyway. I can settle for being a doting aunt when she has kids.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It's your life. Do what you want with it.

Speaking of which, beach or barge?

[slayage]

Sometimes it is. I do my best. [OH DESTINY AND SACRED CALLING STUFF D:]

Barge. [Comical frownnnn.] As much as I would love to get my sunbathing on? I'm here this time.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Sounds like we both had the same idea. Besides, I just got back here. It's a little early to be taking a vacation.

[slayage]

How does that saying go? The people who need vacations most are the ones who just had one?
