Jo's dressed in long sleeve flannel and jeans, both nice but loose.
Out of the left wrist is peeking a white-and-blue wrist splint.
Her night starts with arguing with a napkin in terse words.


But twenty minutes later, she's smugly standing under the board.

"Happy Hour, come and get it."

Narration feels for Buffy.

But not that way.




"Yeah, we got it." Jo turned and rummaged in the fridge.
She came back with a bottle of juice and a tall normal cup.

"Oh, thanks." She sneaks another look at the specials board. Deja vu, but she's pretty sure this is a different blonde girl.

Pretty sure. It was a while ago.

Now she doesn't know whether or not to introduce herself.

"...I wonder if there's any fruit juice this place doesn't carry!"

[tobeclosetohim]

Yes, definitely not a demon.
Or someone who would enjoy the comparison.

"Probably some the fridge doesn't have," she slid the glass to Buffy once it was full. "But the Bar has everything when it's awake."

[stillbecoming]

"It really does," Buffy agrees. "I tried to test it out one time."

Did she even find out Original Flavor Hell Blonde's name in the first place? Maybe she should just introduce herself.

"I probably should've tested with something I'd actually enjoy, but, you know, hindsight." She takes a sip of grapefruit juice. "I'm Buffy, by the way."

[tobeclosetohim]

"Jo. Harvelle." There's was a flippant smirk.
At least the talking kept her mind off of other things.

"So, what'd you try out that was so horrid?"

[stillbecoming]

"A smoothie." Buffy looks at her juice. "I think the exact flavor combination was mango-carrot-durian."

"It probably would've been pretty good if it wasn't for the carrot," she adds, wistfully.

[tobeclosetohim]

"I wouldn't have made it through a sip of that."

It sounds far too healthy to be safe.

[stillbecoming]

"I made it through a few." She throws a glance toward the lakeside door. "And then some of the flowers out back finished it for me. I like mixing fruit juice, but there's an art to it."

[tobeclosetohim]

"What's a good one?"

Yeah. Jo didn't have much.
