around season three while reviewing

[hitbydestiny]

Well this sucks. I mean do you even have any idea about this? It's one thing to play pretend but this is my life, and it's not exactly a peach. You know, years ago I might have wanted to give this up but now? Let's just say that a lot's happened. So how about we stop with the games and I'll give you the facts.

1) I'm not going from Sucksville to Suckierville. It's home and it might have taken a while but I'm settled and it's nice. Without the sucking anyway.

2) You don't know what you're doing. And just because I don't always have a clue isn't the point. I've got people to help me, you're kind of just sitting there. And hoping. And this time hoping isn't the best way.

3) Did I mention that your idea sucks? Not life sucking, although I'm pretty sure that kidnapping is illegal everywhere, but it sucks. Big time. And I've got things to do, a social life to try and keep and friends. Did I mention the friends? Xander, Willow. I guess Giles is somewhere there. And my mom. And you know if you take me now I won't get to do everything that's coming and there's some pretty big stuff. You think dying once was that? I'm the Slayer, death isn't really enough apparently.

So was that convincing enough or do I need to go through the rest of my list? It's a big list. And it's not pretty. Less pretty than what you're thinking so just stop. It's safer for us all.

You might have to go through the rest of it. It's hard to convince them otherwise.

And unfortunately for me, not even my list persuaded mine to not go through with it. I hope yours goes better.

[hitbydestiny]

There goes all my hope. She's hoping I'll be convinced by the fact that the place 'seems like home'. Gotta say, sucky things aren't really a bonus.

[cheerhealer]

It sucks when they think you're stronger than you really are.

I hope you don't wind up where I am. I can't think of any place worse.

[allaboutattitude]

What are they planning for you?

[hitbydestiny]

They want to take me to... I'd say Hell but I've been there. It's probably close.

[allaboutattitude]

What were you doing in Hell?

[burntforhersins]

It's no use.

You're going to have to go through with it. One way or another... they'll get you there.

[hitbydestiny]

You know this place could do with a liiittle more optimism. I mean what's with that? All this death and despair?

Okay maybe not death and despair but it's depressing.

[burntforhersins]

Optimism won't fix anything.

I finally got the nerve up and she pulled me away from my death to make me play with Pokemon.

...it wasn't so bad as you think. You'll make some nice friends there, at least. You seem the type.

[a_pretty_fire]

You're all young. And fresh.

[hitbydestiny]

And you're still just as creepy.

[a_pretty_fire]

I can smell the shadows on you.

Lets see if I can pull this boy off for you...

[tyingknots]

How can your life be so bad? Such a pretty girl like yourself, can't be so bad out in the world can it?

[hitbydestiny]

That's what everyone says when they don't know better.

[tyingknots]

Do any of those things, force you to die? Because if they don't, then yeah, I think I do know better.

[allthatmatters]

What, you expect these people to listen to sense?

If it helps, I'm trapped in a burning city filled with monsters. (That's not the typist, that's just my canon point. Apparently.)

[hitbydestiny]

It could happen. Sometimes.

That doesn't really help. Sunnydale's one thing but everywhere else? And I don't just mean the world.

[allthatmatters]

Good luck with that.

Here and everywhere else, people are surviving. Fighting. That's worth something.

[motherofaslayer]

And as your mom, I'm obligated to say that I don't approve of kidnapping, either. [ or death, but she's not touching that one. ]

[hitbydestiny]

Mom, hi!> [ Oooh crap ] I am so glad to hear you say that. I think it's the best thing I've heard all day- no, week!

[motherofaslayer]

Are people actually encouraging this? [ she looks alarmed. sob what group are you hanging out with now ;; ]

[idolstolemylook]

Well look at you, so innocent and perky.

[hitbydestiny]

And look at you just as undead as ever. How's that working out?

[shinras_puppet]

Having watched my mundane watch your series thus far I am inclined to agree and stranger yet, sympathise with your cause.

While I do not hold out much hope of them listening to any of your reasoning... I do wish you luck with at least having a smoother journey here than some have had...

[hitbydestiny]

Uh, thanks. As creepy as that all sounded.
