Geez, my life. One moment I'm getting my elegant on in 'Great bloody Britain' (you gotta imagine the toff accent) and the next thing they're telling me cheese ain't the only thing to come out of Switzerland, they also have huge freaking Domeworlds with Dystopia stamped all over them.

The fuck kind of place is this? And more to the point, fake sunlight - how the hell has it not been overrun by vamps already?

Still, free accommodation and internet. No cable but hey, two outta three ain't bad.

Would I lie to you?

I'm bored, that's why. What kinda name is Nuwanda?

[notwalking]

Well, I don't know you, and you don't seem like the nicest of girls. Don't worry, I like that. Tell me about the vampires.

The name of a god. You've heard of me, I'm sure.

[repent]

Excuse me? I'm a goddamn sweetie, okay. But I guess I'm really an ex-vampire slayer since there's absolutely zilch to do around here.

Sorry, Nuwanda, I haven't. Also, I'm an athiest.

[notwalking]

Are you really? I like that too.

Your loss. And hey, so am I. Funny how that works out.

[flameregalia]

I think I preferred Kazu.

[repent]

Nah, dogs are the best. I'll keep him in my room to begin with, ok?

[repent]

You seem to like everything. I don't suppose there's any chance you're evil? Part-demon, maybe? Secret desire to destroy the world?

[flameregalia]

All right. By the way, I think my friend Simca is rather anxious to meet you. She'll be stopping by tomorrow, unless you have other plans?

[notwalking]

Teenage boy. We're not very picky. Well, I'm not.

Nah, I never really got to cross Rebel Road into full blown evil. And I don't want to destroy the world, sweetheart, I want to save it. In my way. Why do you ask?

[repent]

There are no words to express how much I do not have plans. Sounds great.

[flameregalia]

I have to warn you, though. She can be a little.. intimidating.

[repent]

You're legal though, right?

In your own way. With what, poetry?

I just figure I ask enough people, eventually I'll find someone to fight.

[repent]

Is that right? I don't intimidate easy.

[notwalking]

Very, very legal. And mature for my age, too.

Yes. Don't knock it, words and ideas are revolutionary. Fists work too, though.

You fight? I fight. I'd fight you any day, sugar.

[flameregalia]

She's a good person. She's just having a rough time lately, so please forgive her if she's a little short.

Maybe it's not a good idea to have her over while Kazu is still recovering..

[repent]

Hey, keep calling me that and you'll get to!

But really, you think you can take me?

[notwalking]

Girls here don't like the pet names much.

Yeah. I box, play rugby, do a little crew. You'd be surprised. And hey, you're a girl. How bad could it be? I'll go easy on you, even.

[repent]

I have the patience of a saint but yeah, I mean, if it's gonna be bad for Kazu we could meet at a restaurant or something?

[flameregalia]

Maybe that would be better. She and Kazu have had some misunderstandings in the past.

You're so accommodating! I'm lucky to have such a nice roommate.

[repent]

Do girls anywhere other than lame-ass fiftes sitcoms?

You'll... look, I really don't feel like a run in with the police in this shiny new world, so maybe you should back the fuck down okay? Save your pride while you've still got some.

[repent]

Damn right. I'm just glad you're not a 400 pound dyke or twenty teenage girls, which were my last two roomy experiences.

[notwalking]

Ouch. It's a movie, but I won't hold it against you.

I understand. It's probably not kosher for me to fight a girl anyway. Got pride to spare, though, if you ever change your mind.

[flameregalia]

Sounds... crowded.

[repent]

Wow, I was close. And I'm kinda noticing that, about the pride thing, so I guess a little pummeling wouldn't be too bad. It's just, I'm really not meant to kill shit that isn't evil, and I really don't want B on my back again, so you can see where I'm coming from here, right?

Wait, this isn't one of those 'the joke's on you, Faith' kinda things, is it? I mean, you're not like, the lost member of Charles Xavier's School for Incredibly Arrogant Mutants?

[repent]

Which is why you and Kazu don't really bother me all that much.
