[01] the slayer has landed

[vampirelayer]

After dealing with an army of last-bagel-gobbling bathroom-hogging three-am-giggle-fest Slayerettes in training for months on end?  I'm pretty sure dealing with reforming one hardened criminal will feel like something of a vacation.  I mean hey, there's no looming Apocalypse, no nightly vigils at fresh grave sites (one of the many advantages of boats - that whole lack of cemeteries thing), and no one lifting my hairspray every time I turn around.

Sounds like cake.  

Or at least like one of those little Hostess cupcake things you can get out of vending machines, which aren't as good as real cake, but they're still tasty if you don't think too hard about that whole nutritional value thing. 


Oh, I should probably introduce myself.  Buffy Summers.  Slayer.  Long resume of world saving, and new resident warden.  




But no really, are there any vending machines on this boat?

... Beverly Hills?

Ok, point taken. I've got plenty of experience with boomerang-death-syndrome.

Annnd apparently I should have paid more attention to the brochure for this place.

Well, I suppose it might be useful if we should have another flood that involves us regressing to children.

There are individuals who spent their childhood speaking only French, Hebrew and well, Gallifreyan, but the Gallifreyans picked up English remarkably quickly.

Well, I don't know if 'open' is really the word I would use for it. Maybe more like 'ajar'. We tend to travel in circles where it's a little more common. But it's not like she usually goes to town wearing her "Hi, my name is Willow the Witch" name tag.

Oh, don't worry, it's only evil monsters: your standard vampire, demon, occasional none-of-the-above.

Really, my evil plan involved inciting cravings in other passengers who might be more equipped to provide baked goods for general sharing.

Nice to meet you, Cissie.

Haha, well, we do have a pie maker aboard, but the food is also rationed. At least this way we never go hungry, but it does cut down on impromptu late night cookie baking.

Uh...huh.

Well, you're gonna love it here. Place is pretty much crawling with the aforementioned.

That is a very bright, cheerful name. Welcome aboard. I am Gellert Grindelwald and I come from the same world as Neville. I am also a wizard.

And I am here because I didn't like that we had to keep that a secret.

There's not much cake that I know of...

[future-games.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure any sentence with the words "looming Apocalypse" should sound that happy.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

If I'd have heard of it, I'm sure that'd be hilarious.

It's all in the small print and the bits just-outside-of-the-picture-frame.

[vampish_aleera]

Slayer of what?

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Vampires. Demons. Things that go bump and hiss in the night.

Hey, I said there weren't looming Apocalyii. I save my doom and gloom voice for when there are.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Ok, new tactic: what is there?

[possemagnet.livejournal.com]

No vending machines and the food's rationed.

One of the many things that suck about this place.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't pick it, but I appreciate the sentiment just the same.

Wizard central here, huh? That's gotta be handy. I don't suppose you can... wizard up some chocolate, can you?

So you must be on the Warden team if you're here by choice.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Oh well. My waistline will probably appreciate it, though Slayer metabolism usually allows for some serious cheat-age on the diet end of things.

[bythe_books]

You're--

[AAGHHH MUST TAKE A MOMENT TO PROCESS THIS. Cake and slayerettes and apocalypse, what is this. Oh, wait, luckily Sam's used to weirdness:]

Right. So, I'm guessing "Slayerettes" isn't the name of a... cover band.

Welcome, er... Buffy. DCI Sam Tyler.

[vampish_aleera]

A hunter...

[acid_rayne]

Vampire-killer... Good.

Lots of sandwiches.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

And here I thought I'd earned a vacation, so to speak, from the usual.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

I'm sure.

So... bona-fide X-Files style alien then?

[Private]

... Where is he, by the way?

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

I hope that means you broke out the kiddie pools and not something... much more literal-like.

Gallifreyan?
