[ the locket swings jarringly into action -- like a camera stuck to a pendulum, shuddering back and forth and only occasionally picking up a stern-eyed blonde. ] Ugh. Whose idea was it to glue a webcam onto a necklace--

[ there! steadied. there is first a grimace and then a forced smile and then a flutter of girlish eyelashes. ] First order of business? Those of you still bumming around the Station -- could you tell me how those repairs are coming along? I'm feeling a serious oncoming modernity craving. Like, a gallon of lattes and underwear that doesn't require learning whole new categories of knots.

Second: does anyone know how to make a quick buck outside shilling it for either court? [ she is not a fan of either of the caers. ] Preferably while also maintaining some facade of dignity.

And third and last but absolutely never least: does the name Sunnydale mean anything to anyone? Y'know, anyone other than the someones I've already talked with. [ hey! it's worth asking. doubly so now that it looks like she's here for the long(ish) haul. double ugh. ]

Which -- and let's be honest here -- is a terribly spooky thought.

Are you familiar with magic? Not the kind here but...where you're from? Sunnydale..?

I'm familiar enough. Hence the spooked. [ because magic was wicked unpredictably. ]

Friendly sorceresses? Or an enemy?

[Can never be too sure!]

Both sides of the aisle, to be honest.

It can leave quite the impression. Not to mention that by being involved with them, you might find yourself on the adventure of a lifetime.

[Good and bad.]

You sound a little experienced yourself.

I've dealt with my fair share, yes.

The good kind or the bad kind?

[How did she put it?]

Both sides of the aisle, as you called it.

Damn. I hope you know the good side better than the bad side.

Some days I wonder about that. Lately though...it's been the latter.

Wow. Talk about suckage.

And then you end up here.

It's not too far from home and what's been going on. Only...I'm much more familiar with the kingdoms there than I am here.

I don't think I'll ever be familiar with these ones. Man, I can't even pronounce most of these---

They can be a mouthful, [said on a chuckle.] And even confusing.

I know, right? What's wrong with good old simple names. Like -- California. Or Las Vegas. We really need a Las Vegas here.

Do we? I have no idea what a Las Vegas is.

It's...ah--

Very bright. Flashy.

[ so helpful. ]

[Buffy...]

I can't say I'd want to be there.

They have card games! And, uh, Celine Dion. But I guess that doesn't really recommend it. If I'm honest.
