Who: Anyone!
What: All in here
When: Today, Tomorrow, Until April 2nd

Summary: People in Luceti wake up as something they weren't before. An elf, a gremlin, a vulcan, or perhaps a mermaid? Try living in someone else's shoes... if they can even wear those.
Rating: Not recommended for those with weak constitutions, raging hormones, shipping goggles, or people just too cool and attractive for this kind of thing.

No need for LJ Cut! Mass action style stuff all around town. You can use this if you don't want to make a post. Or you can make a post anyway. Have at!

...Giles? But Giles -- [ she pauses. this dragon does not look like giles. but...hmm. ]

You don't look like Giles. Are you sure you're Giles?

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

I'm well aware of that.

But yes, I'm very sure.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

Did someone cast a spell and turn you into a dragon? I can go hit them, if you'd like.

[ at least the buffybot feels she should be perfectly protective and caring towards giles. ]

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[He does laugh, at that, then shakes his head.]

It's very kind of you to offer, Buffy.

And if I knew where the person who did this to us was, I'd be happy for you to hit them.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

I could try and find them. That would be a good way to spend the time until Spike comes back.

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure you have enough battery power for that, Buffy. They're very far away.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

How far?

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

We've only ever been teleported there.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

I...remember. [ her voice sounded closer to buffy there, for just a moment. ]

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[Ping!]

You should. You were there, pretending to be a scientist. And you sent me to help rescue McCoy.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

[ pretending...nope, she's gone. ] I'm very good at pretending.

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

To my continued amazement. [Dammit.]

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

[ sigh. giles, you really don't want to hear this but: ] Sometimes, I pretend to be just a regular girl. But it's not Spike's favourite game.

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[Spike's favorite...

No. No, he really doesn't want to hear this.]

That isn't really something it's appropriate to discuss out loud, Buffy.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

...It isn't?

[ of course it isn't. ]

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

Most emphatically not. It's very inappropriate, in fact.

Not something you usually do, at all. [Attempting to appeal to the robot's "pretend to be Buffy" instinct.]

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

...No?

[ she has to stop and consider this. ]

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head again.]

No.

And please keep it that way.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

Okay, Giles!

[ and yes, she is mispronouncing it. the hard g. ]

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[Wince.]

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

[A thought strikes him. A new concern. Giles tilts his head curiously, staring at Buffy.]

You say you've always been here. Can you tell me how long "always" is, in thsi case? [The answer to that might tell him whether or not he's actually talking to Buffy or just some unfortunate who got turned into the Buffybot.]

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

I have been here for six hundred and ninety five days. [ ... ] Or, one year and ten months and twenty-six days. Not including today.

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

[Considering how long the villager tends to last, considering that Buffy had upped her count from "a year and a half" to "two years"...

...dammit.]

Right. Thank you.

That's a very long time. How did you manage before Spike got here?

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

...I don't like to think about that time.

[airborne-giles.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

I'm sorry I asked.

[roboslaying.livejournal.com]

[ and because she apparently cannot remember giles' advice already: ] Will you help me look for him?
