[Buffy is sitting next to the window at Cafe Juliet, looking out to the crowds. It's probably pretty clear she's looking for someone(s) in particular. She smiles at the device]

Welcome to the City. Stay out of the Underground, don't feed the deities and have a nice probably temporary stay.

Any Sunnydale residents that want to say hi?

I've done the crazy god tango and I'm perfectly fine with just sittin' that one out.

[ maenads and anti-vampire fundamentalists, oh my! ]

Keep your head down? It'll probably only last twenty four hours or so.

You’d be surprised what can happen in twenty-four hours. There aren’t any vampires involved in this, are there? ‘Cause I will personally stake King Bill if he had any hand in this.

Involved in this as in bringing you here or involved in this as in living in the City because there's the latter but not the former. Also I don't know who King Bill is. Kind of a...really bad name for a vampire. I thought they all picked their names after they turned. You know...Spike, Angelus, The Immortal, The Master...that sort of thing.

[ sookie can't hold a straight face and laughs. ]

They used to call him Vampire Bill at the bar I work at before he was king. Sounds pretty ridiculous, don't it? I always expected vampires to be named somethin' like Basil or Lestat, not Bill.

[ or eric or pam or jessica or any of the other vampires she knows. ]

[And when Sookie laughs, Buffy does too because it's like permission]

At least I'm not the only one. They don't ever exactly sound...natural though? Do they? Like....yes I'm sure your mother named you Lestat. Okay well bad example because maybe that's a french name but, Spike? No one names their kid Spike.

You'd be surprised at the sort of names some people give their kids these days. Gwyneth Paltrow named her child Apple.

Guess I can't be too finger pointy with names. I mean hello, Buffy here.

[waitress]

My name's Sookie, so I think I've got ya beat in the weird name department.

[whattingawhat]

Oooh yeah I think you take the trophy.

[and then a wince.]

Sorry that was...not meant to be as rude as it sounded. I just--have you found your way around okay?

As okay as someone who's just been kidnapped to an otherwordly place can. Mostly just wishin' I didn't have to listen to what everyone's thinking. Some of these people are downright disturbed.
