"Thanks," Phoenix said to Xoey, taking the dagger, then turned her back to Xoey's so they couldn't be snuck up on.
"It surely will be."
She edged more toward the door, so they couldn't be shut in, and prayed for reinforcements to arrive.
The first few vamps jumped right in, and Phoenix used Xoey's back for leverage as she kicked out with both legs, smashing 2 vamps in their faces, then rolling sideways off the other slayer, slitting the throat of another, and then taking a good solid kick to her jaw that sent her flying across the room.

Atticus didn't have to scan the menu. He knew what he wanted. He just sat there, his hands folded onto the table as he looked out of the window, scanning the area to be cautious.
"About a year now, I think..." he mentioned as he turned to look at his little friend. "What about you?"

Buffy looked at Willow for a few seconds, then leaned down to help her up.
"Dawnie, go home, and don't leave. We're gonna have a little chat."She walked Willow into the cafe, intending to help her wash the crud off her back.
"What happened? And have you seen Phoenix?"

They went into the bathroom, and Willow explained the Amy situation while cleaning her back off and then crouching under the hand dryer.
"And Phoenix and that GIRL disappeared across the street."
She grimaced. The tingles were becoming pins and needles. Big pins. And sharp needles. With some fishhooks thrown in for good measure.
"And your angelic little sister did a love spell. It went wonky. I went dark. And that GIRL was rude. All because we were lusting (Willow gagged a little) over Dawnie. I'm not happy. Nope, not at all. I had a really hard time getting back to myself. You need to talk to her."

Andrew thought back in his mind. "Hmm... was it four days or three..." As he pondered the large-chested, load-bearing waitress came to take their order. Veronica, Andrew read off the name tag placed precariously close to the cleavage that was surely suffocating her.
The little guy ordered wings and folded up his menu, handing it to Veronica. He sucked on the straw in his smoothie, which the waitress had brought over along with Atticus' coke, and looked across the table at his companion, waiting for him to order.

Buffy grabbed a few paper towels from a little canister on the wall and attempted to help Willow dry her shirt.
She listened to everything, and got a bit more angry with every passing word. Nothing she could do about Dawn at this moment, but there was a vamp, apparantly very close by. And there was something she could do about that.
"Willow - you good? Cuz I've got some fun to have."
Without waiting for a response, she walked out, grabbing the gym bag she'd left on sidewalk, and entered the only building that looked like it could be a nest.
When she got inside, however, she didn't see or hear anything, and it took several minutes before she found (tripped over) the hidden door.

"That long, eh?" Atticus joked as the waitress made her way back and gave them their drinks. Atticus noticed Andrew eyeing up certain...aspects of their female food-bringer. Atticus couldn't figure this guy out...was he gay or straight? It was hard to tell...
Atticus ordered the chicken strips and handed the waitress his menu when he was done. He adjusted his position on the stool as he took a look around the restaraunt. Something didn't seem right. Maybe he was paranoid, but something was amiss, it seemed.

Xoey panicked a little when the redhead went flying. She slashed at the bloodsucker that had done it, duckinga punch, elbowing him in the chest to send him flying a few feet before falling into one of his buddies. She started to run over to the other girl to help her when out of nowhere she was tripped. The panicked girl attempted to jump to her feet only to find herself rushing into a solid hit to her head with a pipe.
'This is why I don't work with other people,' the slayer thought as unconsciousness overtook her. She was fairly confident that she could have taken the infestation without the partner, and now she was going to die. Maybe they'd turn her into a vampire and she'd get her revenge, she hoped as the world went black.

Andrew followed the other's gaze around the restaraunt. "It's kind of empty, isn't it?" he commented in between sucks on his straw. "I guess lunchtime isn't their busiest hour." Actually, now that he looked around, it was empty. Hadn't there been other people when they came in? They must of been on the other side of the restaraunt. After all, he and Atticus were towards the back, near the kitchen.

Phoenix was just coming out from underneath a pile of dust that had been a vamp seconds before when she saw the other slayer go down.
With another war-cry, this one having to do with the vampire screwing his father, she attacked, managing to dust one and slice another, til she met the same pipe, only it got her on the kneecap. Didn't matter where, she thought vaguely, either way, I'm down. That was her bad knee, and Slayer or not, she needed both legs to fight.

"Yeah, it does seem a little dead." Atticus added as he stopped looking around and focussed his gaze on the table. "Well...I don't know. Places are usually busy at lunch hour...ah well. Doesn't matter anyway." Atticus mentioned, shrugging.
"So what were you researching back at the mansion? Anything interesting?"

Andrew sputtered and loosened his lips' grip on the straw, sending it flying into his throat. He gagged and coughed it out, wrapping it in his napkin. Curse the hunter, that was exactly what he'd come there to forget.
"Something that attacked Buffy. A big, hairy demon --" At that moment Victoria arrived with their food. "...ic... dog. Probably got loose from someone's yard." Good save.
He immediately started to dig into his food, realizing how starving he was. All he'd had was coffee the entire day, sustinence was a good thing.

It took Buffy a few minutes before the sounds of battle came to her.
I hope they brought some of the other slayers with them, still not sure who Phoenix had with her, Willow only saying "that girl". As she went, she opened the bag, taking out her favorite toy.
When Buffy rounded the final corner and saw an open door, the sounds got clearer.
Did she just say that vamp's father was a dog molester?
Buffy gasped and snorted laughter as she ran into the fray, noticing a young girl on the ground surrounded by vamps. Infuriated, she swung the scythe in an arc, beheading all 6 of them, and dragging the girl out of the room. She'd almost made it when 2 vamps grabbed her ankles and pulled her feet out from underneath her.
She landed on the girl's stomach, and then noticed Phoenix. She quickly pulled a stake out and slid it across the floor.
"Do something besides squatting there."

Atticus raised an eyebrow when Andrew coughed up his drink. "Don't choke now..." he mentioned as the little guy recovered.
"Those damn dogs..." Atticus mentioned to help Andrew save, even though it was good the way it was. "...I told the neighbors to keep them on leashes. They always get out!"
The food had been brought pretty damn fast. But the place WAS practically empty, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary. When Atticus' chicken strips were set in front of him, he thanked the waitress and as she walked off, he started to eat his food, his hunger taking over.
"So what's Angel's story?" Atticus asked with his mouth full.

Andrew felt a bit weird as he devoured his wings. Happy weird. He supposed that food did that. Or maybe it was Victoria's breasts... No, it was definitely the food.
"He was a vampire, but then gypsies cursed him to get a soul and he went all batman. Now he's human. I don't know. They don't like to tell me things." He jabbed a chicken wing at Atticus for emphasis. "I know I was evil, but so was Willow!" He took a bite of the wing.
Happy weird.
