[for those of you who have spoken with Sam in the past few weeks, might notice a bit different demeanor. a bit more relaxed, a little less rambly, and what seems to be a very distinctive wrist cuff -- for some people -- sitting on his wrist]As charming as this whole set up is, I think I've officially overstayed my welcome. But I need a little

[This is the face of not impressed. Intrigued, sure, but impressed? Not in the least.]

Well, you're not causing trouble - so should I send a 'Thank You note' somewhere?

[imnot_likeyou]

[amused. he wasn't expecting her to be impressed, just to get her attention. he knows better]

I have no idea what you mean.

[msattentionspan]

[Attention has been caught, but she's still suspicious.]

Right. I'm sure you're actually as innocent as you appear - today.

[imnot_likeyou]

You used to like my not-so-innocent side.

[slayerdom]

Thought you agent types had wrist straps for that. [ Buffy doesn't really like the sound of the time agency picking brains because, well, they could mean literally. :| They're not always up and up. ] Given up on you, has it?

[imnot_likeyou]

Apparently getting kidnapped to parallel worlds tends to make the poor thing go a little haywire.

[and by the way -- he doesn't have the equipment for that. so no LITERAL brain picking]

[slayerdom]

Huh. Fancy that. Let's have a look, then. Sooner we get you out of here, the better. [ As a general rule, she hates vortex manipulators. And isn't the Time Agency's biggest fan. They could go anywhere, mess anything up, because they don't understand the time flow like she does. But ... she does know that the Revanites need to get out of here before the flow is distorted. ]

[imnot_likeyou]

I love that attitude. Where do you want me to meet you?

[sent_farfaraway]

Oh, great. You've got sucked up into this too.

[ROLLS HER EYES.]

I'll catch you later. When you're sane.

[imnot_likeyou]

You know, I happen to find being called insane by people who don't know me, a little insulting.

[sent_farfaraway]

Well, feel free to be insulted.

[imnot_likeyou]

I'll do that. But do I get a name for my trouble?

[imwotchingyou]

I didn't picture you as the sort to be interested in Time Travel Sam.

[imnot_likeyou]

I happen to find time travel very, very fascinating.

[imwotchingyou]

Which bits? The paradoxes? Possible time travel shenanigans? The hows and the whys? The dangers?

[imnot_likeyou]

All of the above?

[Ehh. Time Agents. With very specific exceptions, he's never been a fan of those. Arrogant children with toys running throughout the time stream mucking things up for their personal entertainment or advantage. They'd been kept very much in check while the Time Lords were around, and since then they've been a constant thorn in his side.

Naturally one would have to show up here sooner or later.]

You're wasting your time. The vortex of this universe is completely different from the one that machine's calibrated for. And no, you can't recalibrate it to operate in this universe, an entirely separate vortex is far beyond the capabilities of a vortex manipulator. [That might actually be open disdain.]

[imnot_likeyou]

[it takes him a beat to process that -- just one, and come up with an answer to that]

Right. So recalibrating isn't an option, but what about building one from scratch to work with the vortex in this universe? Same parts and pieces, right?

[onlytheblue]

You'd need a sample of the vortex to calibrate a machine to it, and you can't get a sample of it. [Well, maybe they could, if they could sample the...Force, they might be able to. But he's not about to help a Time Agent get a vortex manipulator to work.]

[head tips as he considers that]

I tend not to like the word "can't." You seem like a smart guy -- I'm sure you could help me figure it out.
