[ As the video resolves from blurriness, Oz's red-haired head appears in the camera, and then moves away. It's clear from the scenery that he's somewhere at the base of that new mountain, and he seats himself on a piece of exposed rock, slipping off a pair of iPod earphones, tucking them into his pocket which muffles the quiet

I suppose if one we looking on the bright side of things, we could be glad to know you can at least identify a tomato plant.

[ananticlimax]

Tomato plants I'm good at. At least, enough to know that the pot plant Devon kept on his porch all year that he kept calling a tomato plant was definitely not.

[missesthestars]

No, it definitely wouldn't be.

I take you you're collecting samples for someone?

[ananticlimax]

Yeah.

I mean, yeah, for my buddy Giles.

[missesthestars]

Where have I heard that name...

He studies plants?

[ananticlimax]

Well, he studies lots of things.

The plants I'm pretty sure are for spells.

[missesthestars]

Spells.

[ananticlimax]

Yep.

Like, charms. Or purification spells. Or other stuff like that-- I'm not too clear on most of it. But it's light-side-of-the-coin stuff. Anti-demon magic. We lead special lives.

[missesthestars]

Ah! Rupert Giles, the one who hunts, or rather helps to hunt vampires.

...odd company to keep, Oz.

[ananticlimax]

A little odd. Not a very complicated story, though.

I found out vampires exist. Evil vampires are bad. We had mutual relevant interests. I learned how to hunt vampires. Evil ones.

[missesthestars]

An interesting arrangement. Does he know that you're a werewolf?

[ananticlimax]

He knows. He's helped a lot and gone out of his way to do it. He's a good friend.

[missesthestars]

I'm glad to hear that.

[Private]

I spoke with Delilah.

[ananticlimax]

Me too. Because without his help I probably would have been shot and skinned. Life is interesting.

[Private]

What did she say?

[missesthestars]

Sounds like it.

[Private]

I think you'll be fine. She won't let you harm any innocents.

private;

[ananticlimax]

Do you think she would let me go with her like this? While my mind is still in my head?

I think I want to.
