*Stumbles in, feeling a bit lightheaded*
Wonder how long I've been unconscious. Ooh, pretty sculptures!

*Buffy wanders in, not at all surprised to see a rather attractive, though pale, young man stumbling about. She walks up, cocking her head.*
"Need a hand?"

"That would be nice."
*Bows elaborately*
"My name is Mercutio. Could you tell me what year it is?"
*Viciousley stomps on an insect*

*Buffy stares at the smear where his foot hand landed.*
"Um... Buffy. I'm Buffy, I mean. And I have no idea. I mean, I know it's not 2001, but I'm sure it's not the year of the codpiece, or whatever."
*She tears her eyes away.*

"Huh?"
*Looks down*
"Oh. Sorry."

*Buffy's face turns red.*
"Omigosh, no! I'm sorry. I was, like, staring. That's so rude. What I mean is, Hi! I'm Buffy. And I don't know what year it is, but I'm happy to help you with stuff not about what year it is. Or where we are, or how to talk French, or anything, really, except fighting stuff. That, I'll do."

"You fight? Cool!"
*His face broke into a grin*
"Do you know if there are any blood feuds going on currently?"

*Buffy liked his smile.*
"Yeah, I do," *she said. False modesty was so, you know, false.* "Really well. But I'm not sure about fueds; I mean, I've declared war on Dracula, and there are all kinds of weird sexual alliances and stuff going on around here, but nobody tells me anything. Why are you looking for one, specificially?"

"Well, I'm not really sure why. It's just what I do. Back in my old circle, this is how it worked- Benvolio kept the peace, Romeo fell in love with everyone, and I got into fights."
*Scratches his head*
"I don't really feel comfortable without enemies."

*Conflicting emotions chased each other across Buffy's open face. She knew those names... Benvolio, Romeo--well duh, Romeo--but that was really silly. I mean, she'd had Shakespeare in 9th grade, and it was really boring because they had to read the parts aloud in class, and she didn't understand why they couldn't just watch the movie with Leo...
...but anyway, she felt a tingle of recognition of what he said.*
"I totally know what you mean," *she said.* "Every summer, the vampires all... I don't know, go to Disneyland or something, and it's, like, dead. Only, you know, without the undead. Anyway, you'd think I'd like the vacation, right? But I'm always just waiting for the next apocalypse. I'd rather be fighting it than wondering what it'll be. And how much it'll suck."

"You fight, too?"
*He was a bit surprised, having come from an era of less progressive roles for women. However, he found it a bit intruiging.*

((She already told him that, but maybe he's disoriented.))
"Yup," *she said brightly.* "Wanna see?"
*She turned, walked a few paces away, and came at him, weaponless, in a whirl of pulled punches and air-kicks. She came to rest with the blade of her open hand against his neck.*

*Mercutio whipped out his sword, and made a few defensive moves, just showing off.*
"You're good!"

*Buffy bounced upright and grinned at him. When had she ever thought the things she could do were a burden? She loved being strong.*
"Thanks. You too; I mean, apart from the whole unsportsmanlike thing. Maybe I'll have the chance one day with a sword. I've done that, too. Though I still think stakes are pretty much the best. Basic, and all that. Goes with anything."
*She tilted her head at him.*
"You have anyone show you around, yet?"
