Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers has been working long and hard into the night at the Magic Box, and it's a good thing it's a slow night because she's been pretty busy between school, her other job and patrolling as well. In fact as the night draws on, she starts to nod off, getting really drowsy..

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow poked in right about closing time, to test out a theory. Well, to get the things to test a theory out. "Hi! Just picking up a few things!"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers blinks, sitting upright, peering around. "Hi! Im awake!" she notices Willow and smirks, "Oh hey, it's just you. I mean, not *just* you but..Ooh is it time to code yet?" she yawns again, "What a slow night.."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow rolls her eyes. "Yes. It's just me." Luckily, the things are all gathered up, and put aside for just this occasion! "I'm thinking about a sceace. But what I really was thinking about is a potion. I've been looking for the permutations, and I think I can try a model now. Don't worry, I won't leave it out without a label!" Besides, she's making the original.. yet.

Karrin Murphy has posed:
The new (old) job has been making Karrin sparse, as of late. They trust her more, so there's more work to be done, and the commute is longer. But, the one thing she doesn't let lapse is her training. She's got her work out duffle bag across her shoulder and blonde hair clipped back off her face, though she's still in the business casual style she wears at the office, so she's probably coming straight from duty. She steps into the place, intending on making her way back to the gym, but she pauses as she sees two familiar faces, giving a tired wave.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers chuckles, moving to hug Willow, "Ohh please dint misunderstand that, I'm happy to see you, how have you been? I really needed your help on something." she pauses, "Seance? What for..?"

The store is closing in a few minutes but the Scoobies were always welcome after hours. "Karrin, hey! How you been?" she nite es the duffle bag and smiles, "Ready for another workout?"

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow puts her head for just a few seconds. "A guy who I was helping out. He probably won't need it, but if he does! Hi Karrin." She removes her head, and gets her things out from the back. "Is everyone using the gym?"

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Pale eyes flicker up to the clock, but she stops at Willow and Buffy's side. Karrin smirks at the question, "Seems it's that time of the day, yes. Besides, I need to punch things. Either someone else to train or a bag for a very long time. Hey, Buff. Willow. Is..." She looks between them, sensing a bit of strange tension. Or perhaps it's sadness, she can't quite tell, "...everything okay?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow, "Oooh, a seance, never seen one done before. Do you need help? I'm not very experienced in those but if you need extra hands or something." to Karrin she smiles, "I'm sure the seance is for a client, not herself. But you know, a workout sounds good!" she yawns and stretches, "It's been a slow night..."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Really, the things were right *here*, but they don't seem to be there. Interesting.

"Did you move two paper bags from here? I can't seem to find them." Willow popped her head from the back room. "And, no, everythings ok, why?" To Karrin.

Karrin Murphy has posed:
"Oh...I... Maybe it's just coming off of work. No clue. But if we're all going to work out, we much might as well. Can you lock up for the day?" Karrin asks Buffy, knowing it's a bit earlier than normal. Then she's looking back over to Willow, brows arched. "...Two bags? What are you missing? I definitely haven't touched anything, haven't been here in days... but that question was probably for Buff."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers frowns at Willow, "Hmm that's odd, I really hope Dawn hasn't been stealing stuff..Seems she's been doing that elsewhere a lot lately." she nods to Karrin and heads to the front, locking up. "Sure, it's been a slow day..Heey, about the other day.." she draws a deep breath, turning to face them both, "I'm sorry my sister caused you both so much trouble. I hoped to be a better role model for her.."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
"Oh just some things to get myself into potions. Again." And a little bit of necessary ingredients for the real deal, but she doesn't explain that. "They've got to be somewhere. Oh well, here I go again.." Willow returns to the back room. "No worries. I don't think she would have them even if she snuck around and came in the back. There so much else she could have taken than this. It really looks like two bags of garbage. Really."

Karrin Murphy has posed:
The suspicious cop in Karrin is enough to step back towards Willow, "... And... where were they again?" She's now looking over the scene, searching for any signs of someone roughing up the place, searching for things, or that the bags could have been stolen. "Nothing else is missing that you can tell, right, Buffy? And...don't worry about your sister. It was handled. Kids will be kids." Karrin seems far less worried about Dawn than she is the fact potion ingredients have gone missing.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers hmms, "Thanks you two...This is odd though, I don't recall anything missing from inventory so it should be here somewhere. I hope you're right, Dawn can tend to grab random things." she too, peers around the store, searching for what could be mistaken as garbage. "Gee I hope it wasn't thrown out with the trash? Did you check out the back?"

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
"Well, they just look like a grocery bag.. you don't think we could have thrown them out, do you?" Willow didn't think so. Even if Buffy was tired, she wouldn't.. would she? No! "Maybe they got moved? Oh yes! One bag has sage and candle - pink candles - in it."

But Buffy makes her worried. "I'll check. Thank goodness garbage night is tonight! If they are in there.."

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Karrin steps back, letting the two really start to ruffle and look around. She's worried and studying, but she isn't going to push yet. It's not her missing things or her shop.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers hmms and shrugs, "Yeah, check out back, I do t see it anywhere in here. Don't worry, I'm sure it's around somewhere." she smiles to Willow reassuringly. To Karrin she quirks a curious brow, "Soo Hows work treating you lately? Aside from Pandora's box mayhem, things have been quiet..,Maybe too quiet. He k, even Spike left town, maybe that's why.." she seems, mildly sad about that but mostly thoughtful.

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow does find the bags out there, but the sage and candles are gone.

"Weird, everything was in them, except the two things I mentioned. Oh well. I can get some more." She was exceedingly glad that all the potion stuff was there!

Karrin Murphy has posed:
"If you're... worried about it, if anything else is missing, Buffy, we can file a report. Keep an eye on it. But fortunately sage and candles are pretty easy to replace, no?" Karrin asks both of them, not all that much of an expert about these things, but being with Harry long enough she knows what common ingredients are. Those sounded common.

"Oh, I'm fine. The hike to Gotham every day is annoying but I'm out of the exes hair and that counts for a lot."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers hmms, "Yeah, if they were in the alley, maybe someone stole them or a stray ate them?" she shrugs, "We should have more in the store though." to Karrin she smirks, "Heh, you're that desperate to get out of the ex's hair? Thought you were gonna transfer to Bludhaven..?"

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Sage and candles are a dime a dozen. The rest of the ingredients are not! Thank goodness nothing else was missing. Besides, how could they get the police looking for an egg?

"Anyway, I should get these home. Nice to see you again! Buffy, see you around the apartment."

Karrin Murphy has posed:
"Nah. Gotham it is. I was *IN* Bludhaven, and he followed me there. THe bastard." Karrin mutters, the need to go punch a bag rising again. She gives Willow a long look again, but seems content that nothing too bad is missing. "Get home safe, Willow." She gives the woman a half salute, then turns to head towards the gym. "...I'm going to go punch something before I start looking for work again." And she disappears off into the back area.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers nods to Willow, "Good luck with the spell, see you later. Hope you're right about Dawn." to Karrin she grimaces, "Gee, sounds like creepy stalker. Need to blow off steam? Let's go." and she leads her to the basement gym.
