Man, you've got the prophecy thing too? Well. I didn't have so much prophecies as a prophet writing my destiny out for me, but close enough. I think that having prophecies and destinies just makes it even more important to believe in free will, though, and take as much of it as we can get.
I don't blame her either, because I don't really want to go home and live through all the crap I've seen on television and had dumped into my head since getting here. More importantly, though, I don't want to forget everything that's happened here. No one seems to remember any of this when they come back through the tesseract.
Illyana Rasputina. She's had some pretty bad experiences with demons and hell dimensions, and ended up part-demon in all of it, like me. I've had demon blood in me since I was six months old. It doesn't really do anything useful, except try to get me addicted to the power and control of the abilities that come with it. I was addicted before I came here, but I'm clean now.
Hey, we've got to stick with other masochistic types, because otherwise who would put up with us? I've let down everyone I know from my own world, too, but this world doesn't throw quite so many curveballs at us, so I haven't fucked anyone over since I've been here. Not yet anyway, planning to keep it that way.
It's alright to take your time getting your bearings. I was a mess for about the first month I was here before I really started feeling better. But I arrived before the tesseract started pulling crap like this with the ghosts, so I had a little more leeway with this world being relatively 'normal'. It'll pass soon, hopefully; usually these things only last a few days.
Is it the ghost that's making it hard to sleep? Or something else?
Well, there's normal and then there's normal for this place, which is to say, not normal at all. Most people in this tower have lives a lot like ours but are good people at heart. Heroic types, even. I don't actually know who Buffy's boyfriend is, though, so I can't tell you anything more specific.
