Phoenix didn't know what to say. She had killed about a dozen demons mixed in with all the damned vamps, but this was the first one she'd had to talk to...
"Um, I..."
Drawing in a breath, she stuck out her right hand for a hand shake, trying to be civilized, wincing in preparation for scaliness.... or perhaps slime? Hair?
"I'm Phoenix, nice meeting you."

CONNOR LOOKED AT STEPH.
"I'D GIVE YOU ALL A RIDE, BUT I GOTTA GO JOB HUNTING.. SORRY."
HE WALKED OUT OF THE KITCHEN AFTER PUTTING HIS PLATE IN THE DISHWASHER, AND WALKED TO THE RIGHT AFTER ENTERING THE HALLWAY.
HE WENT INTO THE COMMUNITY SPA/SHOWER ROOM.

Another one uncomfortable to be around demons. Lorne thought. He could read it on her without her even having to sing. She stuttered, and Lorne waited for her to get out what she was saying.
"Phoenix. That's a nice name. I'm Lorne." He said once she introduced herself and he took her hand, shaking it gently so he wouldn't turn out to be one of those 'stereotypical' hard-a** demons.

Oh, she thought. A normal handshake. Just... normal.
"Thanks! So's Lorne!"
She grinned, and when Phoenix grinned, her attitude faded, and she went from being cute to being flat out gorgeous - to some people.
"So, how do you know all these insane personages?"

"Yeah...no problem." Angel said as he picked up the small man and threw him over his shoulder. Angel may have been human now, but he still had his muscle strength, and Andrew weighed next to nothing.
"I'll take him...you ugh...see to Tara...er...Oz here, okay?" Angel looked at the girl for a moment. "...well never mind, you might as well come with me. Tara...I mean Oz...um...maybe you should...try talking to Willow? She's the...witch around here as you know and...she'll be able to help..."
With that Angel gave a weird look and then turned to go up to the next floor to take Andrew to his room.

Buffy stared as Angel left, and then she turned to look at Tara.
"You're not Oz." She stated flatly.
"And you're not Tara."
She stepped up and grabbed it by the neck.
"Who the hell are you, and what the hell do you want with my Willow?"

Lorne's eye twitched. This girl's personality seemed to switch easily. Maybe she was bipolar...Lorne tried to think if he should make her sing to him or not. He shrugged. Oh well, it was no emergency...
"I just know Angel, actually. I met a few of the others, but haven't really talked to them, kid." Lorne mentioned with a smile. "And yourself?"

Steph nodded to Connor as he left, and waited outside the hall for Phoenix. The cab was outside waiting and she was ready to go, dressed with her jacket and scarf.
"Come on Phoenix. The cab's here."
Steph shouted out towards the stairs.

With everything that was going on, oz did not think to click the image that was on his face, that is until the name finally clicked in his mind.
"Tara? Wasn't she.......you mean I'm......Willow's Tara?"
Just as Oz rests himself against the wall, Buffy grabs him by the neck. It was a good grab, too. The interrogation phase by the Buffster finally begins. His eyes widen with her words.
"Buffy! I AM Oz. I came here just a few days ago. I was limping and everything because of the att..." He stopped himself from finishing that sentence. Oz quickly cleared his throat, trying to gently make Buffy release her grip.
"Can you at least loosen the grip? It really hurts." His fingers tap over Buffy's hand. Something told him that would not work when Buffy is as upset as she appears to be.
"Oh! Then why am I in Oz's pajamas....whoa, it's a good thing I didn't decide to sleep topless last night. Things would be very weird right now."

Phoenix shrugged.
"My story's just like the rest. Got big strong musculatures. Got freaked. Tried to run. Then started liking it. Then was told to make my way here."
She smiled and looked at her watch.
"We're going shopping... wanna go?"
She then reconsidered.
"Actually.. this IS Cleveland... How do you go out without attracting attention? I mean, christ, you must stick out like a sore thumb.. I mean... a green thumb.. I mean- Dammit I had too much coffee again. Sorry."

Lorne nodded to her words, understanding that she was one of the potential slayers that he had been hearing about through visions and voices.
"Um...no not tonight." he answered when she asked if he wanted to go shopping. "I have some things...to think over." he mentioned.
All he could think about was how much this kid talked.
"I wear shades, a hat and a jacket with the collar up. It seems kind of supsicious...but no one has taken notice yet..." He paused for a moment. "Well kid, I must be off. It was nice talking with you, and we can continue this lovely conversation when you get back." Lorne smiled warmly and then patted her shoulder as he walked to his room.

Buffy lets him go. But she maintains the closeness.
"I don't know what the hell's up, but you and I? We're now bestest of friends."
She grabbed it's arm, and headed down to the livingroom, where the bulk of the books were.
"Pick a book, any book, and figure this out. Start with the name Atticus. And that tattoo thing on Kennedy."

Phoenix followed Lorne, then passed him with a smile, on her way to her own room, where she changed, then headed back downstairs to Steph.
"Ok, girlie, when's the cab comin?"

Steph was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"I called you five minutes ago. The cab is outside. Let's go."
She stopped as Buffy and the Oz/Tara/It thing passed, and let them go by.
"Buffy, Phoenix and I are going to the mall. We should be back in a bit."

Oz looks at all the books in front of him (or her). Atticus? Tattoo? He is familiar with the whole searching for leads, that's what Buffy and her team does. He looks at Buffy for a moment.
"What about me? You expect me to walk about like a girl? And not just any girl, Willow's dead ex-girlfriend? This is beyond surreal. I feel like I should be hiding to avoid making Willow either cry because of who I remind her of or to avoid her from KILLING me."
He can Buffy was going to take one problem at a time. I guess his problem was the last one to happen. He sighs.
"Okay, I'll look up stuff on the name Atticus....since I have no clue what the tattoo looks like."
