You're My Only Shining Star

Who: Buffy Summers, Melaka Fray, Azusa Miura
What: Azusa wants to have dinner, Buffy wants a girl's night, and Melaka is going on a mission...
When: March 20th
Where: Azusa's apartment
Summary: Azusa's made dinner. Eat up?
Rating: PG, most likely

She didn't feel pressure, but that didn't mean she didn't try, either. Ever since she went on the mission, Azusa had wanted to have dinner with Melaka's other good friend. She had heard her name several times before; Melaka had mentioned Buffy, but Azusa had only spoken to her once. That's why she took it upon herself to be welcoming and get to know Buffy more.

The idol spent that afternoon cooking. Something ancient, something Melaka had never tried before. That meant no salads or sandwiches, so Azusa decided to take a different route. Traditional miso soup was a must, and so was pickled vegetables. It took her a while to prepare, but soon she was bringing those, rice, and hamburg steak back to her room and arranging the table. She was sure Melaka and Buffy would arrive soon; it was almost time.

Knock knock knock.

Buffy tapped out her entrance on the door with the toe of her boot. Her hands were too busy keeping an armful of drink options from clattering and smashing to the floor. She had a case of beer for the other two and a slim bottle of bubbly wine for herself. Something mild; something that wouldn't bring on the dreaded Summers-booze-face.

The older Slayer hugged these things to her chest and hoped she had the right apartment. Right next to Mel's -- she knew that much. But anxiety still settled in.

Melaka, meanwhile, was actually still at work subduing Gates next door. One might have heard the sounds of it from outside the apartment and in Azusa's, because the sounds of a young woman duking it out with a four armed demonic spider monkey who is skeeing and such do tend to stand out. Or so one might have deduced. In any case, this battle would last for some time yet.

"He's kinda loud over there, isn't he?"

The corners of her mouth lifted oh-so-momentarily before she bent her effort into sliding inside and depositing these beverage things...somewhere. Useful. "This, uhm, guy I know? Used to have an undead monkey. Not quite as loud but just as....spirited."

And with one final punch, the sound of a thud, and then some sound of a heavy object hitting a thick skull, Melaka finished the fight. With that done though she ws not quite sure where to go... hm. Maybe if she-

Well.

Only choice was to do something weird, so she'd still be a while.

"Jack," she shares the burden and soon leaves her bottle of wine on the table next to the beer. "Both the monkey and the owner. He didn't name the monkey -- not that I wouldn't put it past him to name something after himself...anyway -- it's gone now."

Melaka was still en route. Or well, more like she had just opened the door to her apartment and was on the verge of opening Azusa's door. However, she was still managing to try to work out how to do this with ehr hands full.

Her hands full of Gates, that is.

"Cute pets leave when their owners leave. This particular monkey didn't come back when he came ba..."

Oh, she heard the struggling too. Buffy turned -- stuck in that awkward space of being a guest but still wanting to help.

"Good!" Man, this monkey was heavier than he looked. Melaka stood there in a weird limbo. But once let in she'd be putting the monkey down on the couch.

Buffy...hadn't realized that the monkey was coming to dinner. She took it in stride, however, and smiled.

"What? A primate like him? Must be like lugging a toddler around. A...many-armed toddler.

Hi Mel."

[personal profile] makeitquick 2012-04-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
The monkey, at least, was out cold. Melaka set him down with little fanfare before she turned to solute Buffy.

"Hey Summers."

A nod of her head.

"I could eat. Absolutely. Saved up my appetite for this -- oh, what kinda soup is that?"

BRB -- investigating.

No, of course she hadn't had this. But... she'd gotten very used to having alien things in Luceti. Fact is, it happened all the time. But. Hey, these vegetables at least looked interesting.

"Wait. Waitwaitwait. You're not supposed to eat it?"

She peered at the soup. "And all these times I've done sushi bar lunches...they're very fashionable in So-Cal. But there I was, slurping up the seaweed and making a fool of me."

Buffy sat down -- smiling. Her faux-pas clearly didn't bother her too much.

Melaka blinked at the miso, hearing out Buffy's reaction and Melaka's explanation. There's a pause involved as she sniffed it. That's such a strong smell... huh. Not sure if she was supposed to go to eat or not though, she instead settles in to just waiting and watching this play out.

...And sniff again.

And she did indeed reach for the spoon.

"I'm guessing seaweed isn't a staple in the diet of the future."

"Nah, just sniffing."

She does that - it was a habit she'd developed. She knew other people thought it was odd, and she did not care. That said, she had no reason to doubt Azusa's skill, just if her own taste buds could handle this. She took the spin, stirs it in the bowl a moment, and then took it to her lips.

...Wow that's weirder than she thought.

"...It's neat."

Tofu is a strange, alien creature. However, it tasted a little like most meat in Haddyn, just textured different.

"Here," was the simple answer. "Our wheres might be the same but our whens are different. I'd have to grow pretty old to meet Melaka back home. O-or learn how to travel through time."

[personal profile] makeitquick 2012-04-20 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfft, time travel. She actually laughed at that.

"Time travel! That'll be the day."

And so Buffy and Melaka became the dynamic dramatic irony duo.

"I dunno. What about all the paradoxes?"
