[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?

It's not like that. Exactly. If a Muggle - I mean, non-magic person is born a wizard, they'll be invited to a wizarding school. But we keep ourselves secret because others really don't understand us. And we don't use Muggle devices. We're - old-fashioned, I guess you'd say.

Did your friend openly practice magic? Others seem to, in other worlds.

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.

[That made Neville laugh.]

At least the idea of wizardry isn't completely strange to you, then.

So if you had a name tag, it would read Buffy the Slayer?

xD

Nope, pretty far down the strange meter comparatively.

That it would, if I were the kind to... wear name tags, which I try to avoid, because whoa major fashion faux.

Would it be rude of me to ask what it is you Slay?

Actually, I think that's pretty valid as far as questions go.

Vampires, demons, giant insects, you name it. Anything evil, generally, aside from math teachers.

You'll have to restrain yourself on the Barge, I suspect. I haven't seen a giant insect though - at least not yet.

I'm beginning to suspect as well. It'll be hard to curb my ... evil-thwarting instincts, but I'll do what I can.

Good luck during your time here.
