[01] the slayer has landed

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?

Got it. So, apocalypse, slaying, world-saving... You're some kind of superhero?

I think they call us something different in America, if it helps. Assuming you're an American.

You could always give me some friendly pointers. You know: don't drink the water, stay at least ten feet away from Smelly Harry, there's a tentacle monster in cabin 5C... That kinda thing.

LET THE BEST MAN WIN. It's on like Donkey Kong.

Done and done. ♥

I was trying to take my barge vacation Sunny Side Up. But if you insist on Debbie Downer, then ... if one comes along, I'll deal with it.

It's entirely possible. The Disc is not Earth, and me and Captain Swing are entirely and utterly biologically human.

I know. There's a joke in there, I promise you.

Oh, sorry, I'm a bit rude. Doctor John Hix.

That wouldn't be an entirely inaccurate description.

Correct assumption. Californian, even. Why, where are you from?

Please tell me it's not... Mars or something; I've gotten some weird answers to that question today.

Of course inmate status does not mean unfriendly or hostile so when I do have my powers returned in some capacity feel free to ask for my help, if at all needed.

It isn't but there are only so many sandwiches a man can stomach. We've petitioned the Admiral for a garden though and recently got it. It will be weeks before we get even the first slim harvest though.

Let me guess. They themselves are evil vampires?

How slim are we talkin?

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

So what are you in for? It can't just be the whole... wanting magic to not be secret thing.

Captain... Swing?

[Private]

Oh right. I was just... it's a very literal... statement where I come from.

Buffy Summers. As... previously stated above. It hasn't changed.

Alright. Pointers.

A lot of the people here talk out of their ass, and by out of their ass I mean that they can be friends with you one minute and your worst friggin' enemy he next. That's mainly for inmates but the wardens I trust are Sexby, Howie, Una, Wichita and Kirk.

You can't go wrong with those guys having your back.

As far as ten foot rules. I've heard that Davros and the Master are pretty nasty- they don't really bother me but I guess they've caused a lot of trouble while they've been here?

I'm not really the person to go to for these things, not anymore.

[He laughs a little.] God, it feels like it sometimes. But no, Manchester. A far cry from California.

I don't know what we're planting yet, but I think only greens and onions grow that quickly.

[She almost asks him if he knows Giles for a moment, but then remembers that not all British people... know each other.]

Oh. Ok then.

So if I call you Officer Tyler, that'd be a big faux pas or something?

So it's like the high school social scene. Got it.

Define "caused a lot of trouble".

And why not? Did they cut off your subscription to Barge Weekly?

Wouldn't know.

The Master's done a bunch of things, including making the barge crash last week. Yeah, it can crash. Sorry to burst that bubble.

...Something like that.

I had high ideals for the good of both worlds - the wizarding world and the Muggles - the non-magical people. I wanted them to no longer be segregated, in essence, and to live together in harmony. But I was met with much opposition to this among my fellow wizards and witches and I'm afraid that led to bloodshed with myself ending up portrayed in wizarding history as some villain because I would not compromise my ideas and did what I thought had to be done.

I wouldn't know. I mean... I think we did a greenhouse unit in high school, but I'm pretty sure the whole experience was overshadowed by plant monsters in my memory or something.

Yes, that's his name. I don't think he has a ~~good~~ sense of humour, I'd be careful with that.

[Private]

Noted. I just realised I hadn't mentioned mine.

Home schooled?

Wait, so obviously there wasn't any major trauma as a result, I'm guessing - the boat looks fine now.

Uh huh. Your vagueness leaves so much to the imagination. I'm going to start filling in the situation mad-libs style for my only personal entertainment.

I don't know if I'd have a good sense of humor either, if that were my title.

[Private]

I don't know why we're filtering this part anymore.
