Int—Yahoo Pool—Night
Shannon and April are engaged in one of the oldest lesbian pastimes –pool. Shannon is, of course, winning.
April: Ok, wait.. so they came into chat?
Shannon: Yeah, it was this Spuffer, hiding behind a Willow/Tara name.
April: God, what did they say?
Shannon: Well, let’s just put it this way.. If I didn’t hate that ‘ship before..
April: And this was after Xita flashed her tits to the entire room?
Shannon: Yup.
April: Ok, I go to bed at a reasonable hour for a few nights and this is what I miss?
Shannon: Oh and I forgot to tell you about the musical parody.
April: Ok, now I know you’re just trying to make me jealous.
Shannon: So, what, no fun filled adventures at the Bronze Beta?
April: It’s not the same. It’s not like listening to some really rowdy dykes get drunk and intellectually dissect every minuet aspect of the show or someone who…
Shannon: Is intellectually your equal?
Xita: Hey, whores.
Shannon and April stop as Xita comes into the room. Shannon sends Xita a hug.
Shannon: Wow, this is mad early for you.
April: Should we be worried?
Xita: Sorry. I just needed to.. I couldn’t stay moderating the board. Not after that..
April: No, no.. we totally understand.
Shannon: But, you’ve been moderating today. Right?
Xita: Well, it’s complicated. There’s a lot of bad Autumn posts to wade through.
Shannon: If there’s anything we can do, just let us..
Xita: Actually, there is a wee little something I could use your help with. You’re both chat whores, so your knowledge will come in handy.
Shannon moves to type an evil smiley, but stops.
Xita: Let’s talk about Autumn.
Int.—Yahoo Messenger—Day.
Xita is talking to Julia.
Julia: She feels awful.
Xita: Do you think it’s anywhere close to what that whore is making me feel?
Julia: No, but…
Xita: What if it were you, Julia? What if all you dreamed about was giving someone else your endless editing? The day where the one dyke you trusted with all of your passwords got unbelievably drunk and posted that Tara dying was a good plot point and that Spike and Buffy were the best couple since Oz and Willow? What if she emailed you and told you that your wardrobe was as bad as Tara’s?? Bet you’d wish she weren’t allowed in chat anymore, wouldn’t you?
Int---Kitten Chat—Night
Rally and Xita are alone and up past their bedtimes. Again.
Rally: I really don’t think she could feel any worse.
Xita: Let’s test that theory. Let’s ban the whore.
Rally: Xita, Autumn’s my friend. I know what she did was wrong, though really fucking funny and if it had been me I’d---
Xita: ---wish she’d only be attracted to mulleted-hip-hugger-wearing-crystal-worshipping-Goddess-thanking-granola dykes?
Int—Yahoo Pool—Night
Back with Shannon and April.
April: See, it’s not so much about being a chat whore.
Shannon: It’s more about living in a small town in upstate NY where no one understands the goodness of Buffy---pre-season six, of course.
Xita: And dykes really like that kind of stuff, right? Dykes like Autumn.
April: Well, I…
Xita: Don’t you wish her vibrator would explode?
Int—Yahoo Messenger—Day
Julia: I never use that word anymore.
Xita: Self-combustion?
Julia: V-I-b-r-a-t-o-r.
Xita: Oh, vibrator. As in her vibrator smells like…
Julia: Yes. That word. Since I’ve gotten a little top of my own, I have no use for it. And besides, wishing someone’s vibrator would explode is just mean.
Xita: Ok, how about her strap on.
Int.—Kitten Chat—Even later that night.
Rally: I really don’t think I should.
Xita: Did I mention the whole ‘insulted my avatar’ thing? Didn’t leave that out did I?
Rally: No, I know she pissed you off. God, I can’t image.. that must have sucked.
Xita: Ok. (she gets a little smutty) Let’s talk about sucking.
Int.—Yahoo Messenger—Day.
Xita: Ok, so tell me more about wishing that Autumn wasn’t in chat anymore.
Julia: I didn’t say that.
Xita: Yes you did.
Julia: No—I didn’t. And I even used a big, sparkly font to say NO.
Xita: I heard you.
Julia: I’m not even at my girlfriends—I don’t even have a mic.
Xita: Didn’t say what?
Julia: I just saw that you were online and wanted to make up for posting that really bad Cordelia/Willow fic. You know, that whole sticky-panties-wet-mouths-thing?
Xita: Oh! Right, the bad writing! God, there’s really bad alternate universe fiction you can beta read. I’m going to make you suffer for that one!
She laughs, a bit too loudly, then:
Xita: So, back to Autumn’s menstruating for the rest of her life..
Int---Kitten Chat—Day Break
Xita; Fuckingmotherfucker! Kittens have been running rampant over you since the new board and avatar thing. Sending you non-willow, non-lesbian, non-baseball pictures. Aren’t you sick of it… Don’t you wish kittens like that…
Rally: Whoa, what kittens? I’ve only done avatars for like four—three! Only three kittens! That’s barely a litter.
Xita: And didn’t every single one of them annoy the piss out of you? Don’t kittens like that, as to pick an example, AUTUMN, deserve to be banned?
Int---Yahoo Pool—Night
Xita is losing her patience.
Shannon: Well, Autumn is a kitten, so it’s kind of not a surprise that she likes to post—while she’s drunk. Why are we talking about this?
Xita: We’re comforting me.
April: Well, I guess it’s natural for 30-something women to drink and feel creatively inspired—
Xita: God! What kind of dykes are you? Why don’t you go drink some decaffeinated herbal teas!
She quickly exists out of the room.
Int—Kitten Chat—Around breakfast time.
Rally: Xita, I know you’re hurting, but---
Xita: What? Autumn doesn’t deserve to suffer for that horrible posting? Because she watches your music videos? And I don’t? Right. I get it.
Rally: No, that’s not what I’m saying. What she did was really stupid. She knows that.
Xita’s anger breaks through.
Xita: It just—pissed me off so much. She pissed me off so much.
Rally: I know. She really did. I wish she just…
Xita waits.. this is it!
Autumn comes into the room.
Autumn: Xita?
Xita: (her voice seething) Congratulations! They all love your posts! Even after what you posted on the board.
She quickly exits the room.
Believe me I don't want to go
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so
But we both know....
