Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Because books.

Anyone else?

I'd sort of like a pony.

Our wings are not tired.

Maria, can you please come out here for my housewarming party?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Wheaties? It's more like extra-bold, black coffee that will rot your insides. Everything else after that is a piece of cake.

Wrong manufacturer. If I was at Ford, I could probably swing a Mustang for you. Otherwise, I think I can scrounge up an original My Little Pony from my parents' attic.

(Har, I crack myself up.)

When is it? There's no way I'm going anywhere for a while unless it's on a weekend, and DH's surgery is Sept. 2d which will curtail things even more depending on the outcome.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh, I’m so happy I had time to catch up in Natter tonight! Maria is amazing.

Hardly, Pix. I haven't actually accomplished anything yet. Sending out a few emails and focusing projected wrath on the right targets is barely doing anything.

You helped one of us who was having a really bad day. Awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish Maria could help me with my headache. I'm at the ER early, overwhelmed. And I'm never going to get a bed. And I won't be able to drive to work tomorrow. I can't recall this degree of nausea in a while, with the absolute conviction I'm not going to puke.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita that sucks. I hope you can get a bed or some relief at least.

not your mom's socks.

Maria, that was awesome.

Storm scared HKF awake. She's back in bed now. Me? NSM.
