[Juni appears on the Plane with her hands covered with blood and a faintly worried expression on her face... Not that the two are actually linked in any way; the blood can actually be considered a good thing really since it's getting her closer to being a queen; so, yes, she'll be celebrating the blood.

What she won't be celebrating is the vision- a rather troubling one involving lots of fire and brimstone and screaming humans; she's had a few with the same general theme over the past few months and usually she'd just stay at home and ponder it there; but things are getting far too busy for that sort of thing.

So! She shall be pacing in a rather distracted way on the Plane- after a few steps she puts one of her blood covered hands up to fix her hair back- not seeming to notice that her hair is now covered with blood] ...I shall be glad when I can at least decrease the frequency of these things; or at least get clear signposts to what they mean.

[She sighs and continues her distracted pacing (with extra added blood!) She might bump into somebody at this rate; she's just that observant]

[examining her curiously, hands linked behind his back]

That someone is dead, often enough.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She glances up at him for a moment] ...Buh?

[...Oh yeah! The hands; can't forget the hands- she raises them with a small smile] I know that- I did kill him after all; I wasn't talking about the hands really- they're pretty easy to figure out.

[A moment of hesitation and then she glances across the Plane] ...I had a vision; a cryptic one- as per usual. Hopefully they'll be gone soon.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you usually pay much attention to those?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they're hard to ignore- some of them are simply voices or whispers and easy to drown out; some... Some can be pretty forceful; almost painful actually [she pauses and then smiles bitterly] and I'm not supposed to drown them out anyway; all visions could be important- only a few more months at most of me having to listen to him and then I won';t have to pay attention even again.

...This one was a bit worrying though.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What, do you die in it?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

No; but the world might.

...Not that I really care for humanity anymore but it's what Loss wants.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

So it's bad because he gets what he wants.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Basically! If I don't get what I want when I'm not in power he shouldn't get what he wants when he's not in power.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Harsh, but fair. I'd implement even worse. I hope you're considering that path as well.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I'll give it a few years- get my power base all settled; then I'll deal with him- wouldn't want to lose my power because of multitasking.

...I have a list of things to do to him actually.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Really? Care to share?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

...Are you sure that you have the time? It is a long list.

Though I would appreciate your help in adding to it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I always love to make that sort of suggestion.

[It isn't clear if Drusilla is attracted by the blood or by Juni herself, but the vampire is soon there.]

Are you going to wash your hands?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She starts slight;y and glances up; near smiling]

It won't really make a big difference.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You look beautiful in red.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She jumps slightly and then smiles</>] ...Do I really?

When I'm queen I'll have to wear it every single day.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You look beautiful in every colour. But red is my favourite.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She actually blushes; a hand moving back to tuck her hair behind her ear] I... I like red too; it's the colour of blood- you've got to love that.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

We wouldn't beat without it.

Have you been busy, my sweet?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Of course not; everybody needs blood.

Fairly- still planning but we're ever so close now; just a few more steps... How have you been?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Oh, waiting and watching. [Watching her Spike get too close to the Slayer. Waiting for the chance to snap Buffy's neck for the insult.] I don't have anything to plan for, not yet.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

You can help me plan; you've always been so good at it- we could rule together.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Two little princesses.

[She likes that idea. Especially if she gets a crown to go with it.]

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Or two big queens.

[Dru can have a crown of webs and a throne of webs and a dress of webs and a world of...

...Well, at least it's consistent]
