I [Holo] Finding myself making every possible mistake

[nomorevengeance]

"-sexual intercourse, I've said it like a dozen… Xander?" Anya frowns. Xander's basement is far from a pleasant place, but it is somewhat less metallic and plus, there is Xander and juice boxes and she's pretty sure from the way he'd been staring at her that he was going to end up engaging in coitus with her, except now he's gone

"I'd imagine you would be." Humans, after all, seem to have so much more trouble regulating their temperature without the use of clothing.

The Master studies her, not disturbed or particularly aroused so much as amused. At least he wasn't taken practically in flagrante delicto, so he supposes there is that for his own situation.

Anya looks around at the sound of the his voice. She hasn't yet located the Tablet.

"Yest, it's one of many shortcomings of human bodies. Death and menstruation are other ones. Who are you?"

[Visual/Private]

[controlparadox]

At least she can admit it. The Master appreciates frank honesty-- as long as he doesn't necessarily have to reciprocate.

"A fellow prisoner," he replies, and lets her look around a bit before adding, "Your communications device is on the pedestal to your right. Compliments of the house." May as well be helpful, if he's making new friends.

[Visual/Private]

[nomorevengeance]

Well, that's something, at least. She goes over to the pedestal, stares at the device for a bit, than presses the button that switches it to visual.

"Why did they do this to me?" she asks. "I didn't do anything. Not recently, anyways."

[voice]

[justaddmarbles]

...yes. yes this should go well. Were Anya to glance at the tablet doohickey on the pedestal thinger, she'd be treated to a very red-in-the-face Glitch with his hand over his eyes.

"Pick up the tablet, go out the doors, hatch yourself a...a big, fuzzy robe, and and then find out if anyone you know is here."

Points for efficiency, maybe?

[holo]

[nomorevengeance]

Anya, unfortunately, does not know to look at the tablet, so she just looks around in confusion.

"Don't tell me what to do, you... you man." She spits out the last word like it's an insult. "Who are you? Why am I here?"

[visual]

[justaddmarbles]

"Sorry," came the somewhat-cowed reply. Hey, raise a fella in a matriarchal society and he learns his manners. "Um. The name's Glitch, and I'm sorry but you'e been kidnapped by aliens to a city called Taxon. Ma'am."

It seemed important to tack on the title there.

[holo]

[nomorevengeance]

...well, that was better. The 'Ma'am' was a nice touch. Mollified, she nods, still looking around. "You could have just said. Where are you? Are you invisible?"

[ voice ]

[glowingseer]

[ wow, okay, another familiar face from the not-so-distant past. ]

...Anya?

[ voice ]

[nomorevengeance]

Anya has located the tablet by now, and no longer wonders about the invisible people talking to her. But this voice is familiar. "Cordelia?"

[ voice ]

[glowingseer]

Yeah. It's me. Hi. Uh--

[ what is she supposed to say now? ] Xander isn't here, I'm sorry to say. But most of the other Sunnydale alumni are.

Have you been told on where, exactly, you are right now?

[ voice ]

[nomorevengeance]

Oh. That's nice.

[She doesn't really care about any of the other Sunnydale high people. Giles is annoying and boring and Buffy is pretty strictly anti-demon. Willow seems to hold a grudge for the whole vampire Willow debacle. Cordelia mostly stirs up mixed feelings of sympathy in light of Xander's cheating tendencies and worry that she'll decide she wants Xander back and Anya won't be able to have him.]

Abducted by aliens to a city called Taxon. I've been around a very long time and there have never been aliens before.

"Anya? Anya Jenkins?"

Wesley is doing his best not to stare at the tiny naked holo version of the girl.

[Visual]

[nomorevengeance]

"Yes, that's me, er..." She's certain someone introduced her to the Watcher who wasn't Giles, but she can't remember his name. "Giles' assistant, right?"

[Visual]

[demonologist]

She must be from an earlier time. He tries not to take affront at her description of him.

"Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. I was never actually Mr. Giles' assistant, by the way. The Watcher organisation appoints members specific positions regardless of--"

He reins himself in realising that this will not be helpful considering the girl's current situation.

"Do you need...assistance?"

[Visual]

[nomorevengeance]

Anya is very glad he stopped talking about things that are boring. She doesn't really care about the Watcher organization, and doubts they'd take kindly to an ex-demon. "Cordelia is bringing me clothing. So no."

[Visual]

[notabuymoron]

Casey isn't exactly a gentleman, so if he's staring, well sue him.

"I see that. Welcome to Taxon."

[Visual]

[nomorevengeance]

She crosses her arms over her body and frowns a little. "I don't like it much so far."

[Visual]

[notabuymoron]

"Can't say many of us are that thrilled at being abducted and all. So what's with the being naked?" Tact is not John's strong suit.

[Visual]

[nomorevengeance]

"I was trying to convince someone to engage in sexual intercourse with me." It's not Anya's either. "Who are you?"
