[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]

So...five stories, then...empty space...and then above that those people fortunate enough to have money or whatever grants power and comfort in your world. Right?

[makeitquick]

Replace "empty space" with "all the warehouses, defunct old buildings, and all the car lanes you can ock" and that's about right.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Got it.

Doesn't sound like there's much green going on.

[makeitquick]

'Fraid not, really.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

What happened? Or do they tell you that?

[makeitquick]

Haddyn's a city district. Green's not a priority in our parts.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Hmn. So what year are you?

[makeitquick]

[Hah]

2232.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

2002 here.

[makeitquick]

Oh, Jesu, you're ancient.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[That earns a laugh.]

Yeah, I guess so. Good thing I don't look it.

[makeitquick]

...Sorry.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

'Sorry' for what? It was actually pretty funny.

[makeitquick]

[...Oh, good]

Whatever you say, Kennedy.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Now you lost me.

I'm in my late 30's. People get dragged here from all sorts of different times. So we might have a couple of centuries between our time frames, but hopefully I've only got a few decades on you in actual age.

...Although Luceti does seem to drag in a lot of kids.

[makeitquick]

...Wasn't he one of the Old 'Merican senator-things?

[A beat] ...Nineteen here.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Kennedy? Yeah. He and a couple of his brothers. Then he ran for president and got assassinated during his term in office.

[...yeah, okay. *sigh*

Dammit, Luceti. Quit dragging the young ones into this mess.]

[makeitquick]

Oh, huh. Didn't know those last two parts.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Might have gotten lost somewhere in history. Or maybe our worlds don't line up quite the same as far as history goes. Seems there's a few different versions of Earth represented here in the village.

[makeitquick]

Given you're a man and I've heard the Slayer gig is a girl's club, you might be right.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've had that conversation before, so it's likely a safe bet.

[makeitquick]

[...Hah]

So you know the other Slayer in the D.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Buffy? Yeah. Met her pretty soon after I got here.

[makeitquick]

Good impressions to be had?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Well, we're friends, so I guess it worked out all right.
