[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?

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

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.

Don't worry about it.

Monsieur Longbottom and I will work out the details. He's very knowledgeable about plants.

That's... Neville, right?

[She's so proud right now. Look at her, all on the memory uptake.]

Yes, I believe that is his given name.

I had forgotten. I am Armand St. Just, another warden here.

Nice to meet you!

Buffy, as stated above.

I am glad to meet you, Mademoiselle Summers.

Glad to meet you too. Buffy's fine, as glamorous as being called Mademoiselle anything makes me feel.

It's just French for 'miss' as in an unmarried girl. You are unmarried, yes?

[written]

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Yes. Definitely very... yes.

If you insist on first names, you can call me Armand.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm pretty big on the insisting. Besides, Armand's a nice name, as far as obscure French names go.

It's very common in France, but I suppose there are not many Armands where you're from. Sadly, there are too many on this vessel, and the other one is a bad neighbor.
