IM - Taylor and Dawn
KeyGrrl says:
IC: This is Taylor Hanson, right?
Taylor says:
IC: the one and only
Taylor says:
as far as i know
Taylor says:
KeyGrrl says:
cool. I'm friends with your sister, and some of her friends
Taylor says:
which sister?
KeyGrrl says:
as well as an Ashley Grayson, and some guy names Pyro.
KeyGrrl says:
u h, Jessica.
Taylor says:
pyro? oh! oliver
KeyGrrl says:
I'm Dawn
Taylor says:
ok
KeyGrrl says:
the Key.
Taylor says:
nice to meet you Dawn
KeyGrrl says:
I think that my sister's Watcher's spoken to your dad.
KeyGrrl says:
My sister's the Slayer.
KeyGrrl says:
I travel in the protective company of a Cat-godling, and two vampires.
KeyGrrl says:
I'm a bit of a freak.
Taylor says:
Dad just left for a meeting a while ago, and he didn't say anything
before he left, so i don't know
KeyGrrl says:
And I study Ancient Sumerian for fun. God, I really need to get out
more.
Taylor says:
ah, i wouldn't call you a freak
Taylor says:
sumerian?
Taylor says:
nice language
KeyGrrl says:
you've studied it?
Taylor says:
no, but i've heard of it
Taylor says:
so to speak
KeyGrrl says:
*is confused*
Taylor says:
sorry
Taylor says:
it is a bit confusing
Taylor says:
you're not an alien, are you?
KeyGrrl says:
no, I'm mystical energy older than the world.
Taylor says:
heh, that's interesting
Taylor says:
so you would have known about aliens a long time ago, huh?
KeyGrrl says:
brb
Taylor says:
or does it only count earth?
Taylor says:
ok
KeyGrrl says:
um, not exactly
KeyGrrl says:
you see, well, as far as my memories go, I'm a 16-year-old girl
KeyGrrl says:
my body is actually only 3 years old
KeyGrrl says:
but the energy that exists in my blood is millenia old
KeyGrrl says:
Is this making any sese?
Taylor says:
ok
KeyGrrl says:
*sense
Taylor says:
sort of
KeyGrrl says:
Okay, lets do it this way
Taylor says:
i know a couple of aliens with immortality, so i can kinda get it
KeyGrrl says:
the Key existed as living energy. It was designed to create worlds
and dimensions, and tear down, or restore, the fabric between them.
Taylor says:
ah, dimensions
Taylor says:
now i get it
Taylor says:
i thought you meant the universe
KeyGrrl says:
About three years ago, some monks called the Brotherhood of Dagon--
who had been guarding the Key for years-- decided it needed better
protection
Taylor says:
so they made it human? sort of?
Taylor says:
that has to be the worst hiding place ever
KeyGrrl says:
to it took the flesh & blood of the two Slayers, and created a human,
a little sister
KeyGrrl says:
so that Buffy, and Faith, would protect me
KeyGrrl says:
They built all of our memories, and put several glamours on me to
make people feel like I was a little sister, that I needed protecting
KeyGrrl says:
so, here I am.
Taylor says:
what, you can't do it yourself?
Taylor says:
not to sound rude or anything
Taylor says:
but you'd think they'd at least give you some kind of strength
Taylor says:
to defend yourself
KeyGrrl says:
I pratice magick.
KeyGrrl says:
I can do simple charms and spells, and I'm learning to harness the
power within my blood
Taylor says:
cool
KeyGrrl says:
in other words, I cut myself, say a few words, and bad guys go boom.
KeyGrrl says:
That's the general idea, at least. I haven't quite mastered it yet.
KeyGrrl says:
I can bring things over fropm other dimensions though
KeyGrrl says:
I'm totally looking forward to the conjering contest at the
tournament
KeyGrrl says:
it's gonna kick butt.
Taylor says:
you're going to the tournament?
Taylor says:
might see you there
KeyGrrl says:
I have an ancient cat, the daughter of Bastet, and the world's most
powerful Wicca helping me prepare
KeyGrrl says:
Yeah.
Taylor says:
well, i no doubt will
KeyGrrl says:
Check the YIRAAS site,. I'm on it
Taylor says:
what state?
KeyGrrl says:
CA
KeyGrrl says:
but I've been staying in Kansas, with my boyfriend & his family.
KeyGrrl says:
Well, Amanda & I have been, with our 'bodyguards'
KeyGrrl says:
Somebody's trying to kidnap us again.
Taylor says:
well that's not very nice
Taylor says:
i just checked the site
KeyGrrl says:
yeah.
Taylor says:
yeah, you look like the 'little sister' type
KeyGrrl says:
Well, Amanda's the next Slayer-to-be, and I'm the Key. They want to
combine out blood & tissue, and clone us to make super-warriors,
apparently.
KeyGrrl says:
*pouts*
KeyGrrl says:
How old are you?
Taylor says:
19
Taylor says:
20 in march
KeyGrrl says:
Man, you're almost as old as my sister. Although,
KeyGrrl says:
I don't know if you can count the 3 months that she was dead
KeyGrrl says:
considering that she wasn't really aging then.
Taylor says:
well 3 months doesn't really make that much difference anyway
KeyGrrl says:
Interesting reaction.
Taylor says:
what?
KeyGrrl says:
Most ppl are like, "Wait, you mean she was dead? Huh?"
Taylor says:
girl, i'm ready to believe anything you throw at me
Taylor says:
i've been through enough lately
Taylor says:
plus, after socializing with cats who have 9 lives, you can get used
to it
KeyGrrl says:
like what?
KeyGrrl says:
Do they really have nine lives? I mean, I know 3 immortal cats, but
that's only 'cause their mother is Bastet.
Taylor says:
yeah, cats have 9 lives
Taylor says:
one of my friends when i was little...
Taylor says:
i mean
Taylor says:
i saw one get hit by a car once
Taylor says:
messed her leg up
KeyGrrl says:
are the cats your friends? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
You can talk to them, right?
Taylor says:
yeah
KeyGrrl says:
Can you talk to all animals?
Taylor says:
yeah
Taylor says:
all
KeyGrrl says:
I mean, when a cat dies, will it come back to life?
Taylor says:
only a few times
Taylor says:
that i know of
Taylor says:
i mean i havent actually killed one nefore
Taylor says:
before*
Taylor says:
sorry if that sickens you or anything
Taylor says:
i couldn't hurt an animal intentionally
Taylor says:
unless we were wrestling or something
KeyGrrl says:
Um, the only 'animals' I've killed are demons
KeyGrrl says:
and ants, but that's because they terrify me.
Taylor says:
terrify you?
Taylor says:
they only work
Taylor says:
they're only doing their jobs
Taylor says:
i apologize in advance if i hassle you or anything
Taylor says:
*chuckle*
KeyGrrl says:
it's okay.
KeyGrrl says:
Well, if you could talk to demons, would you stand up for them?
Would you stand up for soulless vampires who randomly butcher
people? And giant snake monsters who try to eat your family?
KeyGrrl says:
What about demons who ride around on motorbikes, going from town to
town raping any female virgins they can find?
KeyGrrl says:
Sorry I get passionate about this
Taylor says:
it's no problem
Taylor says:
i do too
KeyGrrl says:
It's just, living on the Hellmouth, you learn things. You watch your
family and your friends die.
Taylor says:
so many people around here just don't care
KeyGrrl says:
I've been on this earth for 3 years, and I've already experienced
more loss than most humans do in a lifetime
KeyGrrl says:
So I tend to get very carried away about hings.
Taylor says:
that's no problem
Taylor says:
it's not your fault
KeyGrrl says:
I just get so sad sometimes
KeyGrrl says:
it's just that everybody I allow myself to get attatched to leaves.
Taylor says:
maybe i should hook you up with an immortal
Taylor says:
heh
KeyGrrl says:
My dad (Though this is before 'Dawn' esited, it's still in my
memories), Angel, Riley,
KeyGrrl says:
Mom. . . Buffy.
KeyGrrl says:
Nah, I'll stick to Clark v
Taylor says:
hehe
Taylor says:
someone's in lurve
KeyGrrl says:
i dunnow about luff yet, but I really care about him.
KeyGrrl says:
He's an alien, btw, you'll meet him at the tournament.
Taylor says:
cool
KeyGrrl says:
I think that one reason we connect so well is because we both feel so
alone.
KeyGrrl says:
He's the only survivor of his birth planet, and I'm the only Key, the
only person who's sister is a Slayer, and the only one who's left
behind.
Taylor says:
you're a very open person
Taylor says:
it's not often someone's meets someone like you
Taylor says:
just ready to spill
KeyGrrl says:
sorry about the pity party,
Taylor says:
it's no problem
KeyGrrl says:
i just get so down sometimes
KeyGrrl says:
And it doesn't help that I have a bad vibe
Taylor says:
a bad vibe?
KeyGrrl says:
I think something bad is going to happen during the tournament.
KeyGrrl says:
I'm not sure whyat, or to whom, but probably to me.
KeyGrrl says:
I lose everyone I love.
KeyGrrl says:
*pouts*
Taylor says:
not to put an even bigger damper on things, but i would have
committed suicide if i was you
Taylor says:
not that i havent tried, but your life seems worse than mine at the
moment
KeyGrrl says:
oh, please don't go there.
Taylor says:
ok
KeyGrrl says:
WHen I found out I was the Key. . . .
KeyGrrl says:
I had a mega freak-out and cut myself. All I knew is that I wasn't
real, so why should it matter?
Taylor says:
yeah
Taylor says:
but in a way, you are real
Taylor says:
everything is
KeyGrrl says:
It've done it a few times since then, but I'm finally starting to get
better.
Taylor says:
you still felt the pain of the cut, didn't you?
Taylor says:
so you can't be nothing
KeyGrrl says:
yeah, I did.
KeyGrrl says:
I know that now
KeyGrrl says:
But imagine b3eing 14, and finding our that you're really only 6
months old, and your family isn't your family, and your memories
aren't real?
Taylor says:
believe it or not, i've thought of that happening
Taylor says:
but i was younger, and it didn't come true
KeyGrrl says:
Crazy.
KeyGrrl says:
And then, after Mom died, and then Buffy died, and then she came
back, but she wasn't the same, she was sort of broken.
KeyGrrl says:
She had been torn out of Heaven, by the people who loved her dearly.
KeyGrrl says:
That's when I started shoplifting.
KeyGrrl says:
until I was a full-blown klepto.
KeyGrrl says:
it sounds like we've both traveled a rough path
Taylor says:
well yours was technically alot shorter, but worse
KeyGrrl says:
I think we're kindred spirits, Taylor.
KeyGrrl says:
yeah
Taylor says:
heh
Taylor says:
so, what are you doing besides talking to me?
KeyGrrl says:
eating home-cooking.
KeyGrrl says:
Mrs. Kent makes such wonderful meals.
Taylor says:
nice
Taylor says:
it's making me hungry
KeyGrrl says:
I haven't had real, home-cooked food since Mom died.
KeyGrrl says:
Well, actually since Tara died.
KeyGrrl says:
she kinda took ver for Mom, after Buffy died.
Taylor says:
hmmm
KeyGrrl says:
The second time, that is.
KeyGrrl says:
The first was 7 years ago.
Taylor says:
so you weren't even alive then
Taylor says:
well, you'd remember it
KeyGrrl says:
I am the world's WORST cook.
Taylor says:
hehe, something else we have in common
KeyGrrl says:
Did you know I tried to invent banada quesadillas once?
Taylor says:
i leave it up to ike
Taylor says:
what the heck are they?
KeyGrrl says:
Do you know what quesadillas are?
Taylor says:
nope
KeyGrrl says:
They're chicken & cheese wrapped up in tortillas & fried
KeyGrrl says:
only I didn;t have any chicken.
Taylor says:
with banana?
Taylor says:
ok, that's kinda gross
KeyGrrl says:
I'm a veggetarian anyways, so I used banana instead
KeyGrrl says:
yeah, they were nasty
Taylor says:
then again, i can't really say until i've tried it
Taylor says:
KeyGrrl says:
I burn mac & cheese, it's scary.
Taylor says:
oh, i do too
Taylor says:
you're not alone
Taylor says:
the last time i cooked something was yesterday morning
Taylor says:
toast
Taylor says:
before that was months ago
KeyGrrl says:
I can make ramen noodles
KeyGrrl says:
mac & cheese (on occasion) ^ PBJ
KeyGrrl says:
*&
Taylor says:
hehe
Taylor says:
well, you're doing better than me
Taylor says:
i'm gonna have a hard time when i leave home
Taylor says:
damn
KeyGrrl says:
so just do like me & never leave.
Taylor says:
Avie just came and dumped a French book on my lap and said 'read'
KeyGrrl says:
You know who's actually a halfway decent cook?
Taylor says:
argh
Taylor says:
who?
KeyGrrl says:
Angel. He's a pretty good chef for a vampire that doesn't eat people-
food.
Taylor says:
hehe
Taylor says:
i've heard of him
KeyGrrl says:
the ensouled vampire detective in LA?
heehee
KeyGrrl says:
from who? Other than me?
Taylor says:
can't remember
Taylor says:
but it wasn't long ago
Taylor says:
let me just get rid of avie
Taylor says:
brb
KeyGrrl says:
lol, okay.
KeyGrrl says:
Who's Avie?
KeyGrrl says:
Oh wait, that's your other sister, right?
Taylor says:
yep
Taylor says:
the one that just dumped the book on my lap
Taylor says:
brb
KeyGrrl says:
what's her gift?
Taylor says:
telepathy
KeyGrrl says:
cool!
KeyGrrl says:
except Buffy became telepathic once, from touching a bleeding demon,
and it nearly made her go insane, 'cause she couldn't turn it off.
KeyGrrl says:
She was hearing everything in everybody's head all the time.
KeyGrrl says:
But then Angel cut out the heart of the demon and fed it to her, and
she got all better.
Taylor says:
ok, that sounded weird
Taylor says:
someone gave me a cat's heart once
Taylor says:
but... they soon regretted it
KeyGrrl says:
Wanna know something really gross?
Taylor says:
go for it
KeyGrrl says:
When Angel was evil a few years ago, on Valentine's Day, he ripped
the heart out of a young girl and gave it to Drusilla as her
Valentine.
Taylor says:
ok, that's just weird
Taylor says:
who's drusilla again?
KeyGrrl says:
My vampires mother-figure.
KeyGrrl says:
She takes care of me
Taylor says:
oh ok
KeyGrrl says:
calls me her baby
KeyGrrl says:
she won't eat me, though
Taylor says:
i dont think anyone should, with your blood
KeyGrrl says:
truthfully, she can't, because there's so much chaos in my blood, it
would knock her out
KeyGrrl says:
and if she tried to drink it all? She'd prolly die.
Taylor says:
thought s
Taylor says:
so*
KeyGrrl says:
Nyx is a godlet, and whenever Dru takes a sip of her magick-filled
blood, it knocks her out for hours.
Taylor says:
well that's one way to cure insomnia
Taylor says:
not that she has it
Taylor says:
forgive me, i'm bored
KeyGrrl says:
speaking of, I'm beat. I gotta go now.
KeyGrrl says:
OOC: m can you post this?
Taylor says:
ook
KeyGrrl says:
I'm exhausted!
Taylor says:
OOC: yep
Taylor says:

Taylor says:

KeyGrrl says:
IC: by Taylkor. Can't wait to hang out at the tourney.
KeyGrrl says:
