Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers has returned to the Hyperion, having decided to check in on AI to see if they had any leads on the missing teenagers. hopefully she will have a chance to talk to Angel, and hopefully Cordelia's not in today.lBut knowing her luck..

"Heey, anyone home?" she asks as she pushes the large double doors aside, stepping in..

Cordelia Chase has posed:
Sadly, Cordelia is in today, behind the desk in the lobby. She looks up and just silently takes in Buffy's appearence. "What can I do for you?" she askss. "I mean, we're a detective agency. So what do you need?" she adds. The 'aside from a new wardrobe' unspoken, naturally...

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smirks, folding her arms as she steps up to the counter, "Wow, aren't you all business and no pleasure today."she shrugs, "What, can't an old friend just drop by to say hi?" th birth they're not 'old friends' but hey, she used to date Xander so close enough?

Cordelia Chase has posed:
Cordie looks over Buffy and smiles. "It's called work, Buffy. You should try it. Maybe you'd enjoy working heree?" sshe says dryly. "But I can get food and catch up with you if you want me to be relaxex and not uptight?" she offers,shuffling papers for a moment. "You know, Buffy. How do you manage it?" she asks. "I mean. You've made something of yourself" she says. Her queen bee exterior's beginning to crack. Great

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles sweetly, "Oh, I know all about work, Cordelia, I rather enjoy my job at the Blue Lady..Comes with a lot of benefits. I'm more surprised that you're not working somewhere more..Glamorous.." she shrugs, "What can I say? I'm a hard worker. Anyway, is Angel in today?"

Cordelia Chase has posed:
"I bet it does" Cordie snarks, mouthing off to Buffy. What can she say? Oh she knows about the Blue Lady...

Looking over Buffy, Cordie sighs theatrically. "So, what. You want....oh I don't know....You want to work somewhere people get drunk and bang huh?" she asks, looking more than a little irritated. "Is that what you think of as glamorous, Buffy?" Cordie asks. "God,if I needed alcohol to get through a place I worked at..." Cordie trails off giving Buffy a disgusted look. "And no. Angel's not in. But how about we head to the bar, and you have a mocktail and explain all about this glamorous job?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers raises a slight brow at that, "What, you think it's a brothel? It's not. It's a high class jazz bar, what people choose to do beyond buying a drink, some food some dancing..Honestly, what makes it any different from any other club? Gimme a break.." she smirks a bit at the alcohol part, "Last I heard, they were serving drinks at the bar here too." she shrugs, "Sure, how about a real drink?"

Cordelia Chase has posed:
Cordie huffs, like Buffy's just scoring points. "Yeah yeah, you and that what, bodybuilder girl were drinking at the bar. So. Go on. Tell me, did I make a good bartender?" Cordie smarts coming. out from behind the desk. "Or do you want me to take tips from your work, huh? You think I could learn a thing or two, or five?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers shrugs and chuckles, "Nah, you're doing fine. Sorry for giving you a hard time. Guess it's just hard getting used to this Cordie. I mean it's subtle, but you've changed a bit. Guess the acting gig and rich parent thing didn't pan out, huh?" ok she's trying, but it's hard to put their history behind her, "Soo what's it like, working form Angel?" it's an open ended question that can be taken many ways. The irony's not lost on her that Cordy had her eyes on Angel from the start either.

Cordelia Chase has posed:
"So what's it like working for the Blue Lady then?" Cordie fires right back. "Oh I'm sorry my Mom didn't pay for your college tuition. Look at me, I'm independent" she says with bitterness and sarcasm. Even so she can still get her jabs in, "So. These 'perks" she smarts doing the air quote thing with her fingers. "What's that all about? Like I can't guess" she says moving for the bar.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles, "Oh I'm quite independent, I paid my own way through college, thanks. How about you?" she smiles sweetly, though the 'perks' thing catches her attention, "Oh you know, free drinks, good company, all that good stuff." Yup, she's definitely hiding...Something. Stull, she sits in one of the barstools, waiting for a drink. "Seriously though, how's business? I was actually wondering if you guys had received any requests for finding missing teens. Since we've been trying to track a bunch down but recently the trail went cold? Doyle gets visions too, doesn't he?"

Cordelia Chase has posed:
"Uh huh" Cordie says with a cynical tone. "No? Why would we?" she adds. Oh she's been out of the loop. "No, why would I be?" Cordie asks, "I mean, I've heard nothing on the missing teens, so...." she mutters, looking unimpressed, then shaking her head Cordie narrows her eyes on the 'free drinks' bit. "So that's why you work there? I mean. You're 21, yes. You're able to drink. Is that it?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers peers at Cordy a bit, shaking her head, "Hm, well, teens have been vanishing all over the place, and vamps have been recruiting them to create an army. We managed to rescue some, but um..." she bites her lip, "Looks like they moved their base of operations and the trail's been cold for a few weeks now, guess that was before you came back but I figured Angel would have brought you up to speed. With all the missing teens in Sunnydale, I assumed you would have received more clients asking about it.." she chuckles again, shrugging, "Hey, I'm old enough to drink but honestly it's not the only reason I work there.. " suddenly she's got a thoughtful smile on her lips, blushing slightly as she looks away. Cordy can probably only guess what that's about.

Cordelia Chase has posed:
"Mhm" Cordie says flipping through things on her phone distractedly. "I bet you do. All those people in the club huh?" Cordie says. Is she sounding....jealous maybe? Perhaps she does need to drrop by the club? Oh come on. Seriously. Cordie. In da club, as the kids say...catfighting with a Buffy? That'd just be a lose situation for everyone. Cordie's just....she's got a job, she's got a place to stay. There's no clubs around here. Admittedly she could bug Angel about tricking out the Hyperion...

"So. Buffy. You're blushing. Is there a mystery someone a the club? Did you land a sugar daddy huh?" Cordy asks. sarcastically,with just a hint of venom in her voice. Yeah, she's jealous alright...oy

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smirks, "What can I say, it's a glamorous job, lots of celebrities have passed through. You should drop by sometime, it's very retro, nostalgic." oh yes, she's enjoying rubbing this in her face. Maybe a little too much. Pf course she just has to go and say that last bit and Buffy frowns, hugging her arms, "Heey, it's not like that at all!" her face reddens some more, hiding a smile, "But yes, there IS a special someone. Maybe I'll introduce you sometime.."

Cordelia Chase has posed:
"So did you go for your type again, Buffy? You missing Spike that much huh? What, did you get drunk and bang the first guy with fake plastic fangs and goth clothing?" Cordie sneers. Oh she knows Bufy's 'type' alright. Hence why she's putting the knife in.

"I won't judge if you did" Cordie says...lying through her freaking teeth. Oh. Oh she so will judge Buffy for this...

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers just stares at Cordy for a moment or two, rolling her eyes. "Oh please, Do you think I exclusively date vamps or something? Gimme a break, I'm not a freak or something. Besides, Thomas isn't a vamp...Err...Well not the blood drinking type anyway.." oh great, she said it. Cordy's gonna have a field day over this. Isn't she?

Cordelia Chase has posed:
Oh. She /is/

So what is he a, y'know, bow chicka bow wow vamp, or that sort of thing then? I can't think of much else vamps drink besides blood" Cordelia snipes. She's wiling to stand here and take shots at Buffy. Cause Buffy's left herself wide open for this. Tilting her head, Cordelia laughs. It's not a pleasant laugh.

"You do though. I mean. You date vampires. That makes you what...a fang chaser or something?" Cordie scoffs.
