Ooh, Milliways. It's in her house - inside her house, in the closet where she was about to seek a change of pants - so she can't invite Sherlock along without inviting a vampire into Charlie's house without Charlie's consent. Ah well. She can still go check the Belltower. In she goes!

There's a Whistle. She can't remember this one's name, he's the one whose Bell hasn't been in. "Hey, Whistle," says Juliet.

Sue giggles breathlessly.

"That was fun!"

"Glad you enjoyed yourself," laughs Juliet, attempting to hold her face in such a way that the blood doesn't get on her shirt. She goes up to Bar and gets tissues and peroxide for the drops she missed, but she's already stopped actively bleeding by the time these things appear. "Okay, if you can give the Slayer a bloody nose, you can walk around Sunnydale with her for a bit, if you want. We probably won't find anything."

"Awesome," he says, bouncing along in her wake.

"I'm gonna pop up to the Belltower real quick - I just found this door and haven't been yet - but assuming it's empty and there's not much to catch up on in the book we can go straight after. You want another look at the book yourself?"

From:

"Sure! It's been a while for me," he laughs.

Up the stairs and into the Tower. It is unoccupied. Juliet catches up on the contents of the book and lets Sue read over her shoulder.

"Lot of stuff's happened since I was here the first time," he comments.

"Us Bells like to keep busy," says Juliet. She hands him the book so he can see what happened before the point where she last saw the records. "What's yours been up to? You could put in an update, we do like to keep up with one another."

He snorts, and scrawls a note about negotiating peace with the buggers.

From:

"Man. Do all Whistles have handwriting like that, I wonder?"

From:

pythbox

He laughs. "Dunno."

From:

"I think the others mostly have keys to the Belltower, so they could write in the book if they wanted to, but if they come in here without their Bells to have a reason to do that, I don't know about it. Probably they don't do anything that belongs in the book that their respective Bells aren't covering, anyway. We don't need a case-by-case record of how many times they've all hooked up."

...He snickers.

"Although the time my Sherlock and Amariah and Amariah's Whistle and the relevant daemons all got a room might warrant a note just because it was exceptional. I only know about it because Amariah told me, didn't want me to get a nasty surprise about Sherlock non-monogamy. Sherlocks are a little lower-key on that topic than you guys." When Sue's done writing, she says, "Sunshine visitation time?"

From:

pythbox

"Sure!" he says.

And into Sunshine they go. "This is my house. There aren't any demons in it unless you count the domesticated one that gives me Slayer powers," says Juliet. "It's broad daylight, so we won't run into any vampires, but we probably wouldn't at night either after what I've done to the place besides my Sherlock. Other demons are sometimes out and about in the day, though." She closes the door, and reopens it to her closet. "Shoo into the hall for a sec, I originally opened this door to change my jeans."

From:

pythbox

Laughing, he shoos.

From:

cross_and_bow

She comes out wearing functionally similar jeans that she did not spill juice on during breakfast. "You're gonna attract attention on the street in that uniform. Do you care? I could loan you some old things that I don't care if they disappear when you wake up."

From:

pythbox

"Ooh. Sure!" he says.

From:

cross_and_bow

Juliet produces some shorts - all her jeans would be too short for him, however relaxed the fit elsewhere in the measurements - and a unisex T-shirt proclaiming affiliation with her stepfather's minor league baseball team, and she shoos herself into the hall.

From:

pythbox

Sue reappears half a minute later, wearing the shorts and the T-shirt, the uniform bundled in his arms.

"So weird to be wearing real clothes again," he comments.

From:

cross_and_bow

"What, you just wear uniforms all the time?" Juliet asks, showing him down the stairs. "...If we meet anyone I know, which we probably won't, you're my old friend from Phoenix and you popped up here to see me while your family's in the area to go to Disneyland. Cover story could probably do with a name that isn't 'Sue'."

From:

pythbox

"Pick one, then," he shrugs.

From:

cross_and_bow

"I'll call you Matt, I knew an actual Matt in Phoenix and he answered to approximately your description," shrugs Juliet. "And I'm Bella, here, not Juliet. Outside Milliways-type encounters only my boyfriend calls me Juliet." Here is the front door. She picks up her messenger bag from where it rests, puts it on, and strolls down to the sidewalk and hangs a left.
