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.

[allaboutattitude]

What are they planning for you?

[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.

[hitbydestiny]

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

[burntforhersins]

It's no use.

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

[allaboutattitude]

What were you doing in Hell?

[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.

[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.

[hitbydestiny]

Doing Hell things. It wasn't pretty.

[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.

[allaboutattitude]

So you're... what? A demon or something?

[hitbydestiny]

Actually I think that part's in reverse, although sometimes I don't actually know how strong I am.

I could probably come up with a few suggestions.

[hitbydestiny]

No, no I kill those things. I'm just a regular human person.

[hitbydestiny]

I didn't say fix but it makes things feel better.

Pokemon? Well that's a new one, and it's got to be better than evil dead things.

[a_pretty_fire]

You're all young. And fresh.

[burntforhersins]

Do you know where you're going yet? Some of the places are kind of creepy, but some of them are really nice.

It was. It was like being born again. A new life.

[cheerhealer]

I'd rather not think about any of them. The fact that there's a place worse is even more troubling, especially when it's possible for anybody to end up there.

[allaboutattitude]

Regular humans don't make frequent trips to Hell to do 'Hell things'.

[hitbydestiny]

And you're still just as creepy.

[a_pretty_fire]

I can smell the shadows on you.

[hitbydestiny]

A few places are starting to sound that way.

So. Suckyville for you too?

[hitbydestiny]

It's a really long story.

[hitbydestiny]

Some place without a name. They're very big on that home thing.

Born again. That sounds nice.

[hitbydestiny]

Look, Drusilla, I'm sure you've got something going on up there but I'm not in the mood for the weird cryptic talk.

[burntforhersins]

Home... hm. It doesn't sound... familiar at all.

It was. I'm going back there soon.
