PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

[backdated to sometime before the crazy started happening again]

[Buffy]

Um... thanks for the watch. I kinda lost mine a couple weeks after I got here, so... thanks. It's appreciated.


[T-850]

Uh... not sure what to say. Never got a gift from a machine before. But um... thanks for the jacket and stun gun?


[Amy]
We should um... get together again or something. If you want.

I really need to catch up on my red or green wire 101.

Any more signs of that clown out there?

Now who's up for a little fun?

Well...we must confess this is a little embarassing.

We were just...wandering, dancing, we could hear Gorog again you see...and well...some people mocked us, so we hurt some of them, they aren't bleeding, thats the good thing about a lightsaber, very little blood, anyway we made the others follow us.

Now they're all locked away. And they won't try to escape, they love us.

Thing is, well...we don't know what we want. We remember in the Order, Hostage negotiation, we're supposed to say we want things and then there's bargining.

But really...we aren't sure what we could ask for. Jack maybe, the Slayers, Jacen's pretty little Queen...credits, trinkets.

We want ideas, what can we ask for in return for them not dying?

So what are we going to do about this whole Ben is Glory business?

I love a good bang like the next bloke but I would really not looking forward having to reattaching my limbs when everything goes boom.

Look at you all! Some saying "we should kill him" and those misguided moral code batty ones who refuse to kill. CIVILIZED! So civilized.

Tearing at each other's throats when the chips are down.

What would it take before you're all turning on each other? Hmm? How many before you're just another maniac? Another freak? Until you're just like me?

Rules and reasons and justifications. You think they save you? Keep you from becoming me? How many of you have taken a life? How did it feel? Justified? Righteous? Did you pat yourself on the back and call it a job well done? Is that how it will be when you kill me?

Maybe that's how we're different. I don't have any illusions of rightousness.

I love you.

Stay in the house. Make sure you put up the salt lines when we leave.

Things are in motion.

[Filtered to Dean]
Hey.

[Filtered to Dad]
Can we talk?

[Filtered to Faith]
Thanks.

I really need to meet more people here. It's just that I'm so shy.

Anybody want to go out for coffee?

I'm celebrating my day off with a couple of drinks. Anyone want to join me?

Fleas suck.
