All right, my two cents on the murder thing.

I like fighting. A lot. My biggest complaint about this bloody place is that there's not enough things to hit on a daily basis.

So if you decide to try and murder anyone while I'm around?

Thanks for the excuse.

As for Rex, why bother? The only reason he threw his little nanomite tantrum was for attention. Killing him'll only make him feel validated. If you really want to annoy him, ignore him. Or mock him mercilessly, which is more fun.

[Private to Elphaba]

We need to talk. Come to my room, all right?

What? No, Barron Sharpe! [She stares back.] You remember him.

[Video | Totally public]

[bigbad]

...not really. What are you talking about?

[Video | Totally public]

[slayage]

[Completely confused look. Looong pause.]

Well I guess you didn't see him much.. But you talked. He even hit you once. I know you knew him. He was back at Sunnydale. I met him at college.

[Another pause because what? That never happened.]

...he wouldn't happen to have been best pals with Jonathan, would he have?

[Video | Totally public]

[slayage]

No. [Sigh.] You're being serious. You don't remember him.

Love, check back some of my conversations with him. I think they're open. He's got no clue who I am either. He thinks I'm faking the vampire thing. I don't remember him because we didn't know him.

He was probably just messing with you. He does that. He really didn't like you.

I think your memory's been messed with. [Pause.] Are you gonna go all evil again?

[Video | Totally public]

[bigbad]

[SIGH] I'm not going to go all evil. And how do you know it's not your memory being messed with? It wouldn't be the first time.

[Video | Private]

[slayage]

Actually, now that I think about it.. [Serious face.]

It makes sense. He said his warden, Prefect, was doing something. He's really worried, Spike. Barron said supernatural. Maybe Prefect's using some kind of memory change or mind control to make people forget him.

I've got to do something before I'm next. [BUFFY'S ON A MISSION-FACE.]

[Video | Private]

[bigbad]

And why would Prefect do that? I hardly know the bloke.

Why's Barron an inmate?

[Video | Private]

[slayage]

I don't know. That's what I'm going to find out.

You know, he- .. Oh, right, you don't. He had a rough past, did a lot of bad things before we- I met him. He's not a bad guy. He just made a lot of mistakes.

[bigbad]

There's a certain tone of voice you get sometimes, never when you're yourself, of course, but you had it when we were engaged that one time, or when we all thought Jonathan was the best thing around, or when we lost our memories.

You've got it now.

[She blinks and looks surprised, as if she might actually believe... No. Nope. Here comes defensive Buffy.]

What? No. No! You're the one that's all... Different. It's not me.

[Video | Private]

[bigbad]

[Spike raises an eyebrow.]

Oh? And how's that?

[Video | Private]

[slayage]

[Stare.]

Don't worry Spike, I'll take care of this.

[Video | Private]

[bigbad]

Take care of what?

[Video | Private]

[slayage]

[She nods, determined.] I'll fix everything.

[SHE CUTS OFF THE VIDEO.]
