[This voiced bit is made after this hapadash intro here. Getting to be around sunset now]

So, is this Slayer part two here, show up in some "other world?" Gotta say, this is totally toy if it is.

But hey, girl's gotta do, right? So any lurks out there, here I am. Come find me, I dare you.

[To be honest, she's not sure if she believes this is the case or not. She's just restless - to be out of Versi, to not be near Gates or Erin or her new flat with all the heritage she was just beginning to discover. To assume - or perhaps more accurately, pretend - that showing up in this weird wing-world is an extension of that whole deal.

If anyone wants an action portion instead, she's wishing she had her scythe or blaster hanging out around central plaza, on one of the shop roofs, watching people. At least she has on her own set of clothes by now]

It isn't any of our worlds, so you're not alone in that.

Derek Bliss. Vampire hunter, but not from your world.

...Jeez. [ a shake of her head. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[...Okay she can't help but be curious]

So you had... a Watcher, right?

[makeitquick]

Huh.

I'm Melaka Fray.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

[ o-oh, what a charged subject. ]

I've been through two. I had two. One, and then he died. And then another and he...

[ he's going to die. ] He's here. He'll wanna meet you.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you. You prefer 'Melaka', 'Fray', or something else?

Anyone give you a decent run down on this place yet?

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[She nods. She's wary. She had two very, very different impressions of Watchers by now. One one hand, the psycho who lit himself on fire. On the other... she owes all she knows about the Slayer line to the Watchers and their records. That said, she doesn't know what to comment with next, so she just shifts in her seat]

[ action ]

[herotypical]

But I should be straight with you. He's not -- he's more ex than Watcher. The Council...it's been kinda disassembled, in my time. Are you telling me they're back, in yours?

[ because that's worrying. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

If you count insane fanatics as "back," maybe.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...They were almost always bastards.

[makeitquick]

Call me whatev you want. ...What do you want?

[This guy sounds much older than her. she's not one for respecting age overly much or anything, but at the same time... well. he's being polite, at least]

I've gotten some intel, but I like tales.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Only one I ever met didn't leave me the best impression.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Sorry...did you just say you're a Slayer?

[ action ]

[herotypical]

Funny. There's only one I ever met who did.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Accounts before today told me "the." Guess not.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Meant I've only met one, period. [A pause, and she shakes her head] I've read some... diaries though. From your time, and before.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

From my time? Which ones, from my time? [ about her, she wondered?

but there are other things she wants to know -- but those can wait. ] I read though plenty of the diaries, years ago.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Whatever you're most comfortable with. Not big on formalities. Respects' a different matter.

[He's pretty much the old dog here, or at least feels like it most days. Doesn't mean he expects deference, though.

He'll chuckle a little bit before answering]

Yeah, well I know a lot of those, but for this, I'd rather not bore you with a repeat performance. Found the general guide yet?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Interesting. But there's lots of Slayers, eh? Plenty of 'em roaming the Scottish highlands or so I'm told. What's your name, lass?

[makeitquick]

Melaka then.

...But yeah, I ocked it. Not read all of it just yet though.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Dunno what a "Scottish" is. ...But I'm Melaka.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Never heard the name "Buffy" before, so I'm going to venture a guess it wasn't yours'

[Or maybe it was. She hasn't read them all yet, after all]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

It's pretty comprehensive. I guess I can try and clarify anything in it if you want.

[makeitquick]

Sure it is, but I fig I might as well get the lurk challenge out there first.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

What about Giles? Rupert Giles?

[ a little more insistent. ]
