[Guess who just reached School Hard in his Buffy rewatch? It was a weird experience. On the bright side, Spike comes off as very cool, and the part where he incinerated the Anointed One, well, he's just bloody badass. There's a small part of him that's flattered at the part where Angel talks about how terrifying an enemy he is. And of course, he and Buffy fight brilliantly together. Even if it's just actors, and it's... bloody weird. He's already decided that watching the commentary and such is more than he can take.

He also isn't crazy about seeing himself kill again. And watching Buffy with Angel, knowing how that'll turn out, seeing things he was clearly never meant to witness. Then there's Drusilla. The former love of his life, back when things were good between the two of them. Her being here is confusing and difficult and he wishes he weren't this affected. But he's always love's bitch, even if he's no longer in love with the woman in question.

God, he misses Buffy.]

So, who's found out they're fictional somewhere? And if you have, did you manage to find it? Did you bother looking? Was it... like your life?

[A pause.]

One of the new inmates, Drusilla, she's from my world. She's bloody insane and incredibly deadly. [It's one of those things he used to love about her.] I think she doesn't have a warden yet, so I guess you can talk to me if she gives you trouble. If anyone can help, it's me. Probably.

Supposedly some people know who I am, which pisses me off. But I wouldn't consider anyone aboard this heap fictional. It seems disrespectful of an actual life they've lived.

Well, yeah. That's not what I meant. I know rot about dimensional theory, but I'd bet that it's got something to do with it. Bleedthrough or something. There's a girl I knew once, she could probably figure it out.

Some guy named Max Tegmark had ideas on it.

What should I watch out for with your old friend?

Never heard of him.

Dru? Well, she's got the sight, you know? Sees into the future. Course, understanding what she sees when she sees it's something else entirely. But she's also a bit psychic, so she might know things no one's actually told her. She's also far stronger than she looks and wouldn't feel the slightest bit of remorse if she ripped out your throat.

I'd noticed the ability. I guess I didn't wanna provoke it by talking to her. But I have been watching.

Seems like there's a lot wrong there besides being a vampire.

No, she's just... look, it's a long story.

[Being as terse as he usually is, he's not going to demand it of Spike.] Then I'll just let you know if she causes trouble in my vicinity.

Thanks, mate. I'd appreciate it.
