[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?

Huh? Oh no. No, not at all. They're all... Thems, we just share the same job description. Er, special destiny, really. There was only One, and there were accidentally Two, and then it sort of exploded from there. Slippery slope, you know how that whole thing goes.

Oh, right. I probably should have known that. I just don't watch very many... cop shows.

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.

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.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

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

LMAO BUT IT WAS S-SO SUBTLE

[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?

I would've missed it if I weren't a ~detective~

It's better than a load of things I've been called, believe me. But just Sam's fine, really.

Touche.

Sam it is. Skipping all "Just Sam" jokes, because so 90s.

[bythe_books]

"Just Sam" jokes?

"Just Sam's fine, really." "Ok, Just Sam, I'm Buffy."

Yeah, it's like... something four year olds do. Or my friend Xander.



Ok, I'm done now.

[bythe_books]

Oh, right. Got it, yeah.
