action + joint post ✪ out of some sentimental gain -- i wanted you to feel my pain

[herotypical]

[ buffy and spike have been out a-missioning -- only it hasn't gone quite as...merrily as they might have hoped. you see, they’re back a little early. spike decided to make an escape attempt and, in doing so, he’s brought malnosso justice down on both their heads. it’s all terribly unfair.

their punishment? one doozy of a bodyswap. spike is buffy and buffy is spike. and neither of them are too pleased about it.

sartre once claimed that 'hell is other people'; however, a situation like this makes a convincing argument that hell is, in fact, being other people. after they argue their way out of a proverbial wet paper bag and manage to find better clothing than the new feather garb they're initially given, they'll be available (throughout the next few days) to be mocked or sympathized with or awkwardly avoided all around town, depending on the individual.

find top comments below for either buffy's thread or spike's thread or -- if you’re looking for a thread with both of them -- buffy and spike. buffy’s tags will come from deadhero and spike’s tags will come from heroatypical. please don’t hesitate to tag all three options if that’ll float your boat. ]

Pants. I'm looking for a pair that's not his. Better all new pants than wearing his pants. Wearing his pants is just kinda weird. Also? A little on the too-tight side of black denim.

You're in a place that follows Shiki's fashions, you're basically looking at the same super tight thing or cargos here, for guys.

[Any chance to rip on Kansai Fashion...]

[deadhero]

Oh. He'd hate cargos...

[ a beat. ] Which totally makes them the obvious choice.

[Looking Spike body up... and down... and then nodding to herself. It's a close but quick examination, and she muttered to herself what buffy might catch as Spike's exact sizes, albeit in Japanese style and centimeters]

Okay, then follow me! I bet I know where something is.

[To the right corner!]

[deadhero]

[ hmm. letting haruhi dress her?

hah. ]

Fine. Fine. But nothing too...weird. Capice? [ she follows. ]

[godbent]

Give me some credit, it's not like I'm going to give you bell bottoms.

[deadhero]

...Somehow, I was envisioning -- and fearing -- something a little wackier than a flared leg.

[godbent]

What? Short-shorts would look stupid on that body and I'm against leopard print on principle.

[deadhero]

...Against it? Why?

[ ever a product of her era, buffy. summers. once loved. leopard print.

[godbent]

Because it's tacky and no one's worn it since I was about eight?
