Listen up everyone. I'm Cordelia Chase, and I'm a new warden around here. You don't know of me yet, but don't worry, you will with time. I'm not the sort of person you forget.

So what's exactly the deal with this place? Things I need to know? Are there places to shop? Cute guys too oogle? I need the dish. This place is certainly way different than Los Angeles was, that's for sure.

Also, to my inmate, I hope you don't think I'm someone you can push around, buddy. Because I'm not. I'm sure whoever you are, I've dealt with bigger and badder stuff in the past, so save it for someone who cares. You can either let me help me, or I can make you let me.

It's your choice.

Dawn? What are you doing here?

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

No, actually. It's Buffy. Long story.

Actually... short story. The Admiral doesn't know how to drive.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

So you got affected by the flood thingy too?


Wait. What are you even doing here? Don't tell me you're an inmate.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Yup. Slayer powers don't really keep the magical mojo at bay.


... I can feel your confidence in me all the way over here.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. Guess it's random who doesn't get affected then?

Just had to check. I haven't been in Sunnydale in years, for all I know you've gone all Faith on everyone or something.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's not exactly a sign up list.

Uh huh. Well I assure you I've kept the murder charges in the single digits.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I figured.

Well, that's good to hear.

I wasn't expecting to see anyone I know here.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Angel and Spike were here too. But I'm not sure if they are anymore. They sort... disappeared right after saying hello.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I heard Angel was here, though no one mentioned Spike. Someone also mentioned Drusilla being here for a while too.

But I guess it's just us now.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Guess so.



So I don't get it. Why'd you come? This doesn't really... strike me as your scene. Though I know things have changed since we last ...

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I think changed might be an understatement for everything that's happened since I last saw you.

...I couldn't stay on earth anymore. The Powers That Be wouldn't let me. At least this way...I can help Angel and the others still.

Are you going to leave that weird sentence hanging or explain what it's supposed to mean?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

It's complicated. But basically...I was in a mystical coma, I woke up, I got one last day on Earth, and then I..well, I didn't die, not exactly, what with the whole being a half demon/higher being now, but I ascended to a higher plane, again, and chose to come here.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Wait, so you went upstairs and actually... chose to come back?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Well, it was really boring last time I was stuck in a higher plane.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Boring?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I mean, I could see everyone from where I was but I couldn't talk to them or help or anything. It was super lame.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

... So it wasn't, like, heaven? It was just... somewhere up there?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

More or less. It definitely wasn't heaven, I know that much.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

So you just asked to leave?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Well..it was a little more complicated than that..but more or less.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Alright, we'll just... go with less then.

So that's why you're here then? To help people?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. I know, me helping people's a little hard to believe, right? I've come a long way since Sunnydale.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

So, what's the plan? Teach the joys of Gucci to your inmate?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Actually, from the sounds of it she already knows that.


...She reminds me a lot of how I was in high school. Wonder if that's why I got assigned her.
