SANCTUARY

.｡.:*☆ Dawn nodded. “I know what you mean,” She said. “So, what are you doing for living here? Did you decide to go to university again?”

.｡.:*☆ “The violin,” Basil replied, nodding. “The music does help me relax when a lot is going on and my mind is full of thoughts.”

.｡.:*☆ Dizzy pouted slightly. “I am patient,” She then said. “And very grateful to be here! I have a very pretty room, and most people are friendly. It is more that I am hoping to find her here because I was worried.”

.｡.:*☆ Chloe laughed. “And there I thought you would like it when all the attention is laying onto you,” she teased, almost feeling like this was another memory coming back.

.｡.:*☆ “I think we can go for pizza.” Leia had never been too picky when it came to food, though, she had also discovered some things in limbo seemed to be pretty strange to begin with. “If you want to.”

.｡.:*☆ No, thank you. Please not the pan!” He chuckled and shook his head. “And, Pascal? What do you mean, what happened to him?”

Jason smirked a bit at her assessment of Dick.  “I’m sure he’ll be around to mother you before too long.  And that would be rule number one if you care to survive.  Which, at this point, I don’t.  So I’m not too obsessed with secrecy.”

“You don’t care to survive?” Rachel frowned. “Isn’t that why we’re still doing this? I mean, helping the people but also to survive? Otherwise winning would mean nothing, right? We’d be fighting but at what cost? You may as well give the enemies an easy win if you want to give up so easily.”

“You’re my actual hero!” Ann proclaimed and then with a smile still on her face, she extended her arm to her newfound friend to take if she so pleased. “My friends back home would call me a chicken and make fun of me so, I’m glad you were the one that took me up on the offer. Ready to be terrified together ?”

Anya smiled as she looped her arm around her new friend’s. “Of course! And don’t feel bad that they called you a chicken. We all have our different fears and if they can’t face it, then that’s their loss.”

“I would love to come with you!” Belle mused with a wide grin. “I was actually eyeing it up earlier.”

“Well, thank you.” Rory smiled. “I felt like if i went alone I would chicken out halfway through and that wouldn’t be the greatest. Oh, I’m Rory.”

“Everyone thinks different things about Halloween. If this is child’s play… What sort of things would you enjoy to do around here?”

“What would I do?” Tiffany smirked at the question before answering. “Well, these decorations look like they’re for kids. I’d need something more sinister, more blood, perhaps something that screams at you when you walk near it. Something that at least looks like weapons and a shrine of some dead serial killer. Or someone dressing up as one at least and they can scare the kids. Is that good enough for you?”

“Yeah, sure. I’ve never been on one of these before.” Aranea commented as she stepped forward to join up with the brunette. She had never been able to live such a mundane life, it was rather refreshing if she were, to be honest. “Name’s ARANEA, by the way.”

“Aranea? Oh that’s a unique name. i’m Rory. It’s a pleasure to meet you. And thank you for wanting to join me on this.” She smiled.

“Eh, I died when he was a baby, and I showed up here the same age I died.  So…I’m a bit young.  He might even be older than me at this point, I don’t know.  It’s all strange.”

Spike just smirked even more. Well aware she could easily stake him if she chose to, since he was unable to fight back with the bloody chip in his head, it amused him that she didn’t ever take the chance anymore. Well, amused wasn’t the right word, but he didn’t want to mess his head up by trying to figure out what it really meant. “What the hell am I doing here? Trying to get this damn chip out of my head, love. Not that I’ve had any luck with that. Yet.”

“Want me to smack it out of your skull?” Buffy smirked. Again, she was still angry with him and how things went back home, more heartbroken than anything. “Honestly, I’m dying for a good fight and you being here might be what I need.”
