Ooooh, Initiative, Riley, Heavy-duty magic Willow...

[brutti_ma_buoni]

It's all stacking up...

[ever_neutral]

Hah, love the Faith/Spike discussion about Riley. Cannot wait to see their interaction with the guy...

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Wait and see... *g*

[rebcake]

"So, evil dead, we gonna hate him or are we gonna work with him?"

"Don't spose both is an option?"

Okay, we can do that

Hee! It's really the only correct answer! This oughta be good!

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Wait and see... *g*

Oh, nice Xander. And Faith with Buffy still on her mind.

Lovely.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Love the "evil dead" comment. And Faith's take on Riley Finn. Taking Buffy's body for a spin, and Captain Cardboard too. *g*

Mmm...it'll be interesting to see if Xander will win this argument about Willow.

But this disconnect among the original Scoobies was too deep to bridge at present. Times like this, the Council's efforts at democracy looked very thin.

I can see everyone drifting apart, as people do. I don't usually see Xander as a deep thinker, but I suppose he must be, behind that clown facade.

Loving this story.

I think Xander will need some help. Which may be forthcoming... Difficult times do tend to bring people together, as long as things don't go really bad.
