6: Voice

[steadfastest]

[Distressed by Willow's recent mallynap, Xander is trying to sort out his feelings of helplessness by musing aloud in an agitated voice.]Sidekicks, right? We're necessary. And we don't just buy the donuts and tell the jokes and duct tape all the broken stuff back together--we matter. Where would Charlie Brown be without Snoopy? Where would the Lone

Willow was...working on a spell to stop this happening. To at least let us know...

[The sound of a sigh. A helpless, angry sigh] There are the teleporters we used for the infiltration. But if the Malnosso don't want us using them, then I certainly can't change that.

[voice]

[steadfastest]

[Yeah, he'd been left behind during that whole infiltration thing. That reminder alone was not encouraging.]

We used to break into all kinds of buildings back home--why not the teleportation one?

[consultmybooks]

Do you know how to work it? I don't. [Willow would have.]

Honestly. Let me know if you find someone who can operate it.

[steadfastest]

Giles, it's crazy the things people know how to do here. There has to be SOMEONE.

Re: [voice]

[consultmybooks]

So ask. If someone can get that thing turned on to the right place, we'll...[What? Break in? Just the four of them? At most?] Be in better shape than we are now, at least.

[steadfastest]

I'm not sure who to trust. I don't know enough people here yet to be able to tell if they're cool, or if they'll immediately turn around and rat us out to the Man.

[consultmybooks]

...I know a couple who might. Who at least might know more about that sort of technology than we would.

[steadfastest]

Well what are we waiting for!?

[consultmybooks]

Something like an actual plan? [But there are sounds of movement coming from over the journal]

Do you know where Rachel lives?

[steadfastest]

No. We're not apartment buddies yet. [Or, at least--he'd never been to HER place before.]

[consultmybooks]

If all else fails, Rachel can teleport. I just don't know if she can teleport more than just herself.

[steadfastest]

Yeah...but Giles, I don't see her as the "jump in and help" type, do you?

[Judgmental, Xander.]

[consultmybooks]

For a chance to inconvenience or annoy the Malnosso? I think she could be persuaded.

[steadfastest]

I guess it's worth a try. She won't give a damn about it, though.

[consultmybooks]

No, she won't. But, to be brutally honest, we don't need her to. If she can help, we'll use the help.

[steadfastest]

It doesn't hurt to ask, I guess. What spell were you talking about before?
