Very cool. I especially love your Giles voice.

[nothorse]

Thank you.

Giles is easy, just enter Uni again mentally. Faith is hard and I'm not sure I got her here.

Eep! Creepy!

I'm a little confused...did Giles' protective counterspell work, or not? If not, how'd they get free?

Seems it wasn't clear enough. damn. It gave them enough selfawareness and weakened the spell enough to enable them to resist it and still go along with it for as long as needed.

Creepy

Oh, yes. Thank you.

William Richardson's enslavement of the slayers was dark and disturbing, and until they retaliated, I was concerned that Faith and Giles had, indeed, walked into a trap. Nice job with the choreography of their surprise attack.

This in voice line gave me a laugh: "Research." Faith completed the sentence. "Yeah. Let's you hit the books."

I'm not reading the comics, but you set the scene well and I enjoyed Faith and Giles as a team. Is Faith's alter ego Lady Hope Lyonne canon?

Thanks. Glad it worked.

Yes it is. It's what she uses to get close to Genevieve Savidge at her birthday party -- and then kill her.

Giles and Faith are my current favourite team, too.

What a great, ingenious, wicked story! I adore your Giles voice.

He's reasonably well off,"
"That's upper-crust for filthy rich, right?"
"Well, yes. In a few generations the family may be respectable."

Terrific dialog!

Terrific dialog!

And the added bonus is that it's true :)

Once I worked out which fetish you had introduced, I was cackling like mad. Erotic and creepy in the best Jossverse tradition.

A couple of mildly dissenting comments. I can't see Faith taken aback by the bondage aspects, though pony-play in particular might be new to her. In the show, she made rather explicit references--safewords, schoolgirl kilts, and bullwhips--that indicate she's no stranger to the kink.

I also don't see the Watchers in general as being aristocratic in nature. Decidedly class-conscious in the best of British stuffiness. But the social position of the Watcher family lines would likely be more on the level of yeomanry rather than Quality.

[nothorse]

Glad you like it.

I must have been a little too elliptic on the two points you've mentioned. I agree with both of them.

Faith knows about bondage, even may have enjoyed some, but I think pony-play -- in the manner it's practiced there -- is probably not something she encountered.

Did I present Giles as aristocratic? The comment about the family being "respectable" in a few generations is more old family vs. nouveau-riche in general. I've always thought of the Watcher families as from the upper half of society, old families that may have a few peers or GBEs in the family tree, but rarely beyond that. Sill, the sentiment should be the same. (Even more in fact. Once you are aristocracy, you can ignore class far more easily...)

I'll need to be more careful to get the allusions right in the future.
