#78 (Amnesty) • Facing the Music
Time being what it is, I'm going to post what I have now, with the second half of this to follow as fast as I can get them up. These are the first three of yet another "six degrees" sequence (can you tell how much that format amuses me by now?).

“New tunes?” asked Dawn.
“New player,” said Xander. “Real bargain, too - lots of stuff preloaded.”
“Such as?”
Xander studied the device. “Oldies, reggae, worlds music-”
“You mean world music, right?”
“No, worlds music, with an S.” He tapped controls. “Cool! Sounds like-” There
was a bang! of inrushing air as he disappeared, a gray business card floating floorward where he’d been.
“ER Technics,” Dawn read.
Buffy groaned. “Ethan Rayne. Not again!”

Xander blinked. “Primary colors. Two-D architecture. “Holy Bat-disasters, I’ve been tooned!”
“Doc? That’s not Princess. Or the buffoon,” a sultry female voice said behind him.
“He’ll do. Grab him!”

“And so,” Dr. Drakken finished, some hours later, “soon I shall rule the world!”
Xander frowned. “I’ll give the rant an eight, but the evil plan? Three at best.”
“Your words hurt, stand-in buffoon.”
A blond form hurtled from above, followed by its pants. “Nobody stands in for Ron Stoppable! Also, ow!”
Xander eyed Ron. “Sidekick?”
“Partner. And distraction.”
A voice near Xander’s ankle squeaked. “Yours?”
He claimed his player from the naked mole rat. “Thanks! Later!”
The music started; Xander disappeared.

Manhattan by starlight:
“Still animated, check. Sixty stories up, check. Falling, check. HELLLP!”
Help swooped.
Xander fainted.

A Manhattan rooftop:
“You’re a gargoyle!”
“Aye,” said Hudson.
“But you saved me!”
“Aye.”
“I thought gargoyles were...monsters.”
A deep sigh. “Aye. And now?”
“Not so much.”
“There ye are, then.” Hudson spread his wings.
“Um...?”
“Aye?”
“I need directions.” Xander indicated the player. “It’s magic. Or maybe cursed.”
Hudson sighed again. “Come along.”

Lexington shrugged. “I can’t fix it. But maybe the Phoenix Gate can.”
“That sounds risky.”
“And your alternative is?”
“Touché.”
Several Latin incantations later: “Here goes!” Bang!
#
“Ow!” A pause. “Live-action universe! And a castle!”
A guard appeared. “Mr. Luthor won’t like this.”
“Luthor? Uh-oh.”
