What happens at your first Watcher/Slayer training session? Clue: Giles has a book.

I loved this! Perfect voices and this bit “No. Because it’s excruciating when someone calls them vampyres.“ just made me grin like a loon thinking of Andrew!

I wish the Council had survived to see Storyteller - universal cringe-face, I think. And thank you!

Wonderful!!

Love Giles' voice here. You've captured that very British, slightly mocking tone he had.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thank you (though I must confess the British is my own - if I ever do an authentic Faith, I'll really be celebrating!)

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thank you!

This is so Buffy and so Giles. They are perfect.

“Giles, this isn’t a sacred scroll. Half this book is pasted in. It’s like an antique personal organiser. Well, antiquey-er. Who uses organisers now?”

Poor Giles. Imagine teaching Buffy anything?

Brilliant.

Yep, lesson planning must have been hell! Thanks for commenting.

Lovely Giles voice.
And the reference to the memos from the Council, like the one about Mrs Post. And the reference to the future pretentions of Andrew. *laughs* Altogether a fun insider joke.
Thank you.

Thank you! I like to picture Watchers all over the world solemnly adding papers to ring binders and telling themselves it's the Watcher Destiny.

Oh, this is fabulous! A lot of insider jokes, and the voices are just perfect.

Wonderfully conceived - as someone else said, definitely a missing piece from the episode.

Loved it!

Thank you so much for the great feedback!
