"Andrew was going to roll the dice." - Did he shout it from the highest steeple? Let it out to all the people? I love that he wastes time theorizing everything and then Dawn comes in and just hits "play" without any care. So very BtVS.

"It felt like a whole minute passed before it spoke, its voice like an army of spiders crawling through the rubble of a long-dead empire." - God damn you, LB.

(By the way, I'm reading this while plumbers are scraping my pipes and shouting at one another so it's really adding to the New York vibe.)

This whole Faith thinking about Giles thing is making me very happy in my soul parts.

"Hey, you know what?” the Summoner said. “That subway girl kinda looks like Buffy. Heh.” - HAHAHA! Your Andrew is the best Andrew of all Andrews. I love that all of this has happened in 3 days time. Makes TOTAL sense for this crew.

"He had that same soft, half-smile, too, the one that was hiding just the right number of secrets." - LOVE this line!

"Eyes... of... murder." HAHAHA! I AM QUOTING EVERYTHING IN THIS CHAPTER.

I LOVE EVERYTHING

I remember I took my niece (6) and nephew (9) to the shore last summer, and they did the awesomest thing anyone has ever done in the history of things. They were playing two-out-of-three Rock-Paper-Scissors for who gets to ride shotgun. Niece lost, and, ever the cagey gambler, upped the bet to best-of-5, throwing in the choice for Movie Night. Nephew agreed, and won again. Niece then tries to up it to best-of-seven.

"Nope," Nephew says. "You roll the dice, you pay the price."
