First things first - Initiative? Really? Come on, couldn'tcha be at least a little original? I mean I'm having a serious case of been there, done that. And for the record? Not really looking forward to doing it again. I've had the tour, I've seen the shinies - and I'll say again. Not interested. Opposite of interested. Me and freaky government strongholds go way back. We had a very hot and heavy relationship, but we're seeing other people now, and both of us are better for it. So, second thing? If you could just, you know - help a girl out and point me toward the nearest exit? That'd be real peachy. Failing that? I'm not your strong-arm. You can't control me. Don't even try.

[ It sounds like she's done, but then there's rustling, and she comes back. ]

Oh, neat um -- neat weapon thingy. By the way. Looks like it might be stolen tech from someone very unsavory. But you almost had me drooling. I'm watching you.

[ Wow. That... Sounds like it sucks. A lot. ] This is no way to spend your afterlife. I'm sorry.

[Ishimaru shakes his head just a bit.] I appreciate your condolences, but to be truthful I'm not unhappy about it! Being anywhere feels like a second chance. And one of my classmates is here as well, so that makes adjusting quite a bit easier as well!

Oh. Well. [ Um. That's... Alright, she can actually kind of level with that. She was ready to be done when she died the second time. Didn't really pan out, but... ] At least you're not alone.

[voice]

[inparidelicto]

Yes! It's much better that way. At least I think so anyway!

[Ishimaru nods to himself, before seeming to remember himself.] I apologize for my lack of manners. My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka! And I really do hope you find your way out of this place and back where you belong soon! If there's any way that I can, I'll definitely help!

If you say so, I guess I should take your word for it. I mean, you're the dead one.

I'm Buffy. [ The smile, though small, is rather audible in her change of tone. Buffy has that way about her. ] Thanks. I'll let you know if anything develops.

[voice]

[inparidelicto]

Less dead here! In fact, in better shape than I probably should be.

It's very nice to meet you! [Can't see it, but he's rather reflexively dropping a polite little bow here.] I appreciate it very much! I want to make sure I keep an eye on what is going on here.

Did they inject something weird into you? Or feed you special food? It's probably steroids. You should avoid it. [ Because Initiative. ]

You too! [ Despite circumstance, she is glad to make acquaintances. ] Gonna take notes?

[voice]

[inparidelicto]

I don't know! I think I'm pretty much the same in that respect, but my injuries are gone, which I'm very grateful for.

[H-he takes that as a serious question.] Yes! I think I probably will take notes, yes.

Kinda miraculous on unnatural levels. [ Yeah no.

... Did he really just -- ] I was kidding.
