"I still can't believe," Xander shook his clear-skinned head, as he and Ron raced in from the wedding/funeral outside, "what she did to him. I mean, I know they were both evil, but Jesus...it's just like being back at Sunnydale High."

"Yeah, well, good riddance," Ron answered. "Let's just hope something even worse comes along and eats the other one." He paused. "We should eat cake. Weddings are s'posed to have cake."

"We should," Xander answered.

Therefore, a Ron and a Xander were at a table, eating cake. Xander still had no visible skin. They were both only clad in giant socks that covered their whole bodies, with holes for arms and legs.

They really would rather not talk about why, but feel free to ask.

What, *Meg demands, storming up and looking remarkably less hypnotized,* the bloody inferne was that all about?

Ron, his mouth full of cake, pointed to Xander. He swallowed and said. "He's explaining. I am just an innocent victim."

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

Xander glares.

"They HAUNTED me," he protests, also through a mouthful of cake. "They haunted me until I gave in."

[balletrat]

Why, *Meg demands,* do I not remember anything until waking up to see one evil puppet - an evil puppet, I might point out, that has already caused me serious internal injuries - eating another one -

Xander, what happened to your skin? 'cause you really might want to see a doctor about the fact that it doesn't seem to be there.

"They wanted to get married," Ron said, stuffing more cake into his mouth. "See appadently s'like a paying magtis."

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

Xander shudders. "Can we not go there?"

To Meg, he says, "Blame your aunt for this one, Flutter."

[balletrat]

Maybe you should be wearing Spandex, *Meg says, dubiously, and then shakes her head firmly.* Anyways. Besides the point. How does their getting married involve me?

Val looks up from her laundry and -stares-. She doesn't even put down the Jedi robe she was folding at the time, just stands and walks over. "Ron? ... Someone? What the -frell- is going on? What's with the socks, and the... uh, lack of skin?" She stares for a moment. This place gets stranger by the day

"It's all here," Xander says defensively. "You just can't see it. You have to take it on faith, like Santa Claus."

He stubbornly refuses to say anything more.

"There was a wedding," Ron said simply, "with a weirder dress cose than Tim and Ace's, Xander's skin's invisible, thanks to Delirium, and now we're just both glad it's over." He stuffed more cake in his mouth.

"Wan dum cate?" he asked, holding up his cake as he said it.

She blinks a moment, wandering over to the bar, and returning with a large pot of tea and three mugs. By this point, she's put the Jedi robe on, because she has nowhere else to put it. "Ok, I think you both need to start from the beginning. Xander has no skin because of Del. And there was a strange wedding?" She's almost wishing she's spiked the tea. "No cake, thanks. I'll re-visit it tomorrow morning." She winces.

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

"Your loss," Xander says, taking a large bite. "And yeah, Del? She made my skin clear because ... uh. And-then-there-was-a-sock-wedding. Ron?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

"There were evil puppets. One ate the other," Ron said, licking frosting off of his spoon. "Then we ran really fast."

He added, "Also, nettles stink."

ginny walks over to Ron

"RON your ok I see"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

"Okay being relative, but yeah, I'm okay," Ron said, smiling reassuringly. "Told you I'd be fine."

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

Ginny nods

"yes you did.. so how was the wedding with the things...and whom is it you want to tell me about?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

"One ate the other at the end of the wedding--good riddance, I say," Ron answered. "Then we ran. Aa for who I wanted to tell you about?" His face lit up in a huge grin. "Guess who showed up here."

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

Ginny looks alittle horrorfied at the thought of one of them eatting each other as she sits beside him

"Bloody Hell.. That's Freaking Nutters"

She smiels as she thinks about who could be in the bar

"Any one But Mum?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

He almost snorted cake up his nose. "Er, speaking of that, actually, yeah, mum is here. FRom when she was seventeen." He looked mildly horrified. "I think I named myself."

He shook his head. "I'd stay away from her, if I were you, to not mess about with time. But no, who I was talking about was Harry."

[mnt_mike]

Did someone say cake?

"Did someone say cake?"

Mike freezes for a second and looks around, as if he's heard an echo.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

"Over here. Just don't make fun of the socks," said the redhead. Next to him was a man with clear skin. They were both eating cake and wearing full-body socks. "Or the fact that Xander hasn't got any skin."

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

Xander rolls his eyes. "Jesus Christ, Ron, I have skin. It's just ... hiding." He waves to Mike. "Help yourself to cake. Plenty for everybody. Diabetics of the world fall over in a stupor."

[mnt_mike]

"I'll forgive you silly outfits if you forgive mine. But first....cake. I mean, a guy has to have priorities, right?"

As Mike's left hand helps himself to cake, his right reaches across to Xander and then Ron.

"Nice to meet you Xander of-the-Glass-skin, and Ron of-the-not-funny-in-the-slightest socks. I'm Mike."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

After he shook his hand, Ron asked the obvious question. "What are you? I'm a wizard. Ron Weasley. Xander's just a normal bloke when his skin isn't clear, but does wicked stuff, like fighting vampires and demons."

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

"And I fix windows," Xander adds sarcastically. "Let's not forget about that." He pauses. "Uh, good to meet you, Mike. All silly outfits are forgiven-- as I like to say, this is a circle of trust."
