1st Dusting

[Voice]

[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]

...No, I'm gunna say I already did. Don't take me for a spin.

No spinning required. It's me. I'm her. The Slayer. Who told you I was here? Or, more importantly, why did they?

[...What?]

Look, maybe you got your wires crossed, but Slayer I mean me.

[ another...one? ]

Name?

Dunno how they do it where you're from, but any spinner telling me they're me usually ought to give their name first.

Buffy Summers. Scotland squad. And I don't recognize your voice so I'm guessing you're with one of the others. Cleveland? Or are you one of Andrew's?

Who's Andrew? What's a Cleveland? And since when are their squads?

You're not...?

[ a long pause. possibilities flicker through her mind. a past slayer? ]

Who are you?

Edited 2011-09-04 18:25 (UTC)

Melaka Fray. [A beat] If I need to give you some names, I'm from Haddyn - the Versi warren.

Melaka...[ she repeats the name with some curiousity. it doesn't ring any bells -- though buffy has studied some of the past slayers. and she's dreamed them, too. and nothing about this girl rings any bells.

and nothing about those other names, either. except... ] Warren?

[ hmm. coincidence? god, she hopes so. ]

I'm a little more interested in your when.

Jesu. You're telling me this place skew time?

[ wryly: ] Skew with a capital S.

[Oh. God. She's from the past, isn't she? Or from some other world or-]

...There hasn't been a Slayer 'fore me in over two cen.

Bullsh--

[ a deep breath; be nice, buffy! if this girl's a slayer then there is a certain amount of responsibility she has to keep in mind. ]

I'm not spinning you, Summers. I got the Watcher's diaries to prove it.

[Somewhere.]

...In 2005 -- my year, Melaka? We have...

You know what? Maybe we shouldn't talk about this over the journals.

Yeah, I can get 'hind that.

[...] So where to, I 'sume you know this warren better than I do.

...Have you found the bar yet, Melaka?

[ this whole warren thing'll have to be sorted out at a later moment. ]

Found the main plaza, can't be too far from there, right?

Good Spirits. You'll see a blonde by the front door and that blonde will be me and that building'll be the bar.

And then we'll talk.

Spled.

[Blonde, huh? That's a rarer and rarer natural hair color back on Haddyn (the joys of recessive genes) but given that she grew up with Erin, it's not that hard to identify the woman with blonde hair outside of a building. Mel jumps from the roof she's on of the next building over, lands on her feet, and then walks the distance over]

Summers?

[ this is normally when she corrects someone -- please, it's buffy -- but if melaka is really a slayer then there is a whole brace of alternative considerations. and now that buffy has the chance to see the girl, she can see that she's...not very young -- not for a slayer -- but younger, certainly. and it's nigh impossible for buffy not to approach melaka like a newly located and assigned girl back home. ]

That'd be me. Which makes you Melaka. God, I can't say I ever expected to see another Slayer in these parts after...[ after faith left. ]

Well, let's just say it's a surprise.
