Introduction from the Watcher’s Handbook
Upon first meeting your 1. noun, it is best to demonstrate 2. adjective immediately.

Slayers may have many questions about their history and 6. plural noun. It is best to provide minimal information, but to instead direct Slayers to the extensive Council 7. noun, which consists of nearly 8. number volumes specifically related to Watchers and Slayers.

Giles scratched his 1. body part and muttered to himself. It simply could not be the rising date of 2. demon, the full 3. number years for its resting period had not yet passed. Even so, his calculations showed differently. There had been that earthquake the week before, and a swarm of 4. Animal (plural) passed through just yesterday…
5. Adverb Giles rose and headed to the Bronze. He knew Buffy and her friends would be 6. Verb ending in -ing by this time. Shaking his head, he checked his watch. Only 7. number minutes until all Hellmouth broke loose on Sunnydale - again.
The bass was on full volume and Giles instantly had a headache as he approached the club. Just as he reached for the 8. noun, Xander burst through the entrance, nearly knocking over Giles.
“Oh, hey, Giles,” Xander said. “You’re just in time for the main act, the 9. Band name is about to go on stage. Should be 10. adjective!”
Once Giles recovered his breath, he spoke. “There is no time for music, Xander, we have to find Buffy and get to the 11. location immediately!”
Without questions, Xander 12. Verb, past tense back into the Bronze and reappeared immediately with Buffy and Willow. Buffy pulled out her 13. weapon and nodded at Giles. “Let’s go,” she said 14. adverb.
Once they arrived at the cemetery, the group waited. And they waited. After what felt like 15. number hours passed, the ground began to shake and split open in front of them. “Watch out! It has been known to emerge baring its 16. Body part, which holds a deadly poison!” Giles called out.
With a spray of dirt and a 17. adjective crash, a small object flew out of the ground and landed by Willow’s foot. “What is this?” she asked and bent to pick up the 18. noun. The item uncurled and revealed a demon, no larger than a 19. noun. Everyone stared at it for a moment, then Giles approached.
“I may have misjudged the impact of this rising,” Giles conceded. “Oh well.” With that, he squished the demon with his 20. Piece of clothing.
Everyone stared at Giles, open-mouthed. Buffy shrugged and started laughing. “Well, that was easy. I’ll take it. Anyone up for going back to the Bronze?”
