Gale's gone again, Jo. Haven't seen or heard from him in ages, and his name's gone from the bracelets. Let me know if you need any extra help around the Roadhouse. This includes with bottle-emptying.
[ buffy will have to forgive jo if she takes some time to respond to this. ]
Yeah, I...figured. [ does she sound like she's been avoiding this? yes? good. because every time she's even started thinking about it she ends up irrationally angry. ] When he stopped responding to my texts I took the hint.
You'd think. And it's not like it's been a while, either. Dean, Gale...I swear to god, Buffy. If you go disappearing on me too...
[ it's only partially a joke, said in partial humor. ]
Things are just starting to get lonely, at this point. No one in the house, no one in the bar. I'm going to start hearing noises that aren't there and then I'll know it's the end. [ a beat, and then. ] You wanna come cope with me and Jack?
I miss the Dean I remember from when we both first got here. After he forgot everything, he wasn't as easy to talk to. We used to have a lot in common. [ Oh, but that wasn't supposed to be totally serious... ] Don't worry, Jo. Safe to say I think after more than a year, you're stuck with me. Guess it's a good thing we like each other, huh?
[ Oh. :( Poor Jo. ]
Of course I do. Can I bring Willow? She gets howly if I leave for too long.
Yeah, but at the same time... I don't know. The Dean who came back without memories of this place was more of the Dean I remembered from home. Less serious all the time, less...hardened. Not that I really blame that first Dean, now that I've got the handle of the city a little better.
[ then there's a laugh. ] Who said anything about liking? I just put up with you. [ obviously
don't get mopey on her, buffy, she's just barely holding it together. ]
Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. And if anyone shows up and they do, we can kick 'em out.
See, you have the whole from home frame of reference thing. With both of them. I don't... And everyone I knew from home except for Spike is gone now. You guys really are like -- [ OHANA MEANS FAMILY. ] -- Well. You're it. So...
[ She laughs. ] Okay, okay, tolerance, then. [ She knows it's a joke don't you worry. ]
They'll be so surprised two little blonde girls can strong arm them out of a bar... That's popcorn worthy. I'm almost hoping for it now.
I guess. I don't know, everyone seems to be coming and going a lot recently. It's hard to pinpoint anyway. [ SHE GETS THE SENTIMENT and might be smiling a little. ] We're it. And at this point, I'm okay with that.
[ but then she's actually laughing a little, not necessarily at the image but at the idea that anyone would be surprised. ]
They did walk into my bar, they're basically asking for it.
