[ Oh, hello, Promenade! Buffy's in relatively good spirits, looking cheerful despite having a mask on her face. ]

Looks like it's that time of month again. New faces, all that nifty kidnappy confusion... There're probably a lot more of you than I'd ever be able to say hi to one-on-one to, so... Here's the deal

Whoa, what was that about a mirror?

[slayery]

In your room? There's a mirror. It'll show you what's happening back home.

[tops_shiva]

Oh, I haven't been to my room yet. Well, not for longer than a few seconds anyway. That's...weird.

[slayery]

It's even weirder when you see it and realize that some total weirdo clone of you has taken over your entire life.

[tops_shiva]

No way. No one could imitate a hero like me.

[slayery]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

[tops_shiva]

Pretty sure they can tell it's not me back home. Then again, the wannabe can take all of Light's punches for me.

[slayery]

I thought so too. But my friends couldn't really tell the difference. Which, y'know, ouch, but... Something about it mimics us. Perfectly.

[tops_shiva]

Huh...how does that even work? Making an identical clone and taking us here? [ and he knows weird well enough by now. ] Guess I'll have to check it out.

[slayery]

Beats me. I turned mine around. I felt... weird. Like I was watching some freak movie of someone else taking over everything I care about.

[tops_shiva]

Doesn't sound like something I'd want to watch, but I might have to look to see if everyone else is still doing okay. Kind of got pulled here at a bad time.

[slayery]

More we have in common. [ A slight smile. ] For what it's worth, I'm sorry you're stuck.

[tops_shiva]

[ Grins. ] Yeah? Must be a conspiracy to bring all the heroes in one place so they can't help out their friends. Don't worry about it, but I'm sorry you're stuck, too.

I'm Snow, by the way.

[slayery]

I'd agree if it weren't for all the normal people being here, too.

[ Grins back. ] Buffy. Like... I already said. [ REPEATING SELF FTW. ]

[tops_shiva]

Just more people for us to protect I guess. No problem here.

[ Laughs. What is an attention span? ] Right, how could I forget. Nice to meet you.

[slayery]

Guess so. [ At least he's pleasant! ]

You too. Y'know, if you take out that whole... we've been kidnapped-ish element.
