[GP] Food for the soul

[st_illavirgin]

Carlos hated being back at the hotel. He had begun by trying to access the Nevernever but that had totally failed, then caught up with Buffy to go and visit both London and Edinburgh, for varying reasons, and the rest of the time he had headed to Spain - he may have been well travelled, but rarely got time to be a tourist - but his time relaxing and finding out about Spain had been unceremoniously cut short when he woke up and found himself back at the hotel. For a few moments he lay there, utterly fed up, and just feeling incredibly homesick.

That only lasted a few minutes; after that he was a man on a mission.

He hunted out Caroline, and had a long chat with her. Plans were set. Time to cook up a storm. They'd missed 4th July, this could serve as a belated celebration, as well as a 'things ain't all bad here' event. Posters went up throughout the hotel, giving notice of a cook out. Everyone was encouraged to attend. What could be bad about this?

Grills were set up outside to cook up as much meat as they could hold; non-meat options were there as well for variety; salads prepared... a vast array of food to try and cheer up anyone who needed it. Carlos took his place at the grills, brandishing tools, turning the meat over just at the right point.

All that was needed now was people to attend.

"The battle with the Mayor." She knew that Molly knew that story. "He stepped up and let Giles take control even though Wesley was the 'official' Watcher." Which for Buffy was important and actually what had changed her mind about him.

"Didn't let ego get in the way of getting the job done." Molly wished the Council would have been more like that in Chicago after Harry died, but she knew that was wishful thinking and useless.

"So was he still with you when you came here? Or did the Council move him on?"

Re: Molly and Buffy

[st_accato]

"He moved on." Buffy said, "I don't think it was the Council. I think Wesley did it on his own." She actually had no idea, because she hadn't really kept in touch with him after he left Sunnydale, but she was a little embarrassed to admit that.

"I get that. He moved on to find his place."

Now that Molly knew that Harry had come back, she wouldn't have to protect Chicago. If another version of her did become the Winter Lady, that meant that Molly could find her own place.

Who was she kidding, she wouldn't leave Harry.

"Sometimes I wish I could." Buffy said wistfully. "I know I can't leave Sunnydale, not with the Hellmouth." She looked at Molly, "unless another version of me is there and when I go back I can do anything because she's handling it. Yeah that's not gonna happen."

That wasn't Buffy's luck.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about my life. The only thing I can do is just enjoy this moment in time." Molly agreed. "And hope that we remember everything because I'd really hate for this to go away, even if I think it's a weird ass dream."

"I hear you." Buffy knew that Carlos wasn't in her same world, they would have definitely been aware of the other organization. Ethan Rayne would have for sure been on the Wizard Council radar as would a Hellmouth if not the Slayer. So she wasn't under any illusion that what she had with Carlos was long term, but she did want to remember it when she got back to Sunnydale. That would suck.

"With your mind magic, do you think you could make sure we keep the memories?"

Re: Molly and Buffy

[st_eampunk]

"Yeah, I could plant a subliminal thought in your mind that everytime you saw something pink you remembered something from the Inn. The only problem is that, I'm not sure if it would go away when you left here."

She smiled and pointed to one of her tattoos, "what is permanent is ink. Of course you might wonder who the hell Carlos is and why you have his name tattooed on your arm."

Re: Molly and Buffy

[st_accato]

Buffy had actually thought about getting a tattoo. She didn't want one like Angel had but something.

"I thought about that once." Buffy admitted, "not Carlos' name but something. I just never did it."

Re: Molly and Buffy

[st_eampunk]

"Oh we will get you some ink at the next Other world that has tattoo artists." Molly assured her with a grin. "We can figure out what kind and where."

"It's a date!" Buffy was oddly excited about the prospect.
