[Distressed by Willow's recent mallynap, Xander is trying to sort out his feelings of helplessness by musing aloud in an agitated voice.]Sidekicks, right? We're necessary. And we don't just buy the donuts and tell the jokes and duct tape all the broken stuff back together--we matter. Where would Charlie Brown be without Snoopy? Where would the Lone ( Read more... )

invisible man syndrome, existential dilemmas, willow!

I...God, Xander. I wish I knew what to say. This is probably the hardest part.

[Filtered] steadfastest November 12 2010, 19:58:10 UTC

So, nothing, then, would be the answer.

I've tried negotiating, banging on the barrier, searching everywhere. I've tried begging. It doesn't work. The most useful thing I've ever managed to do with these kidnappings was be part of that infiltration team.

[Filtered] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:05:50 UTC

[Right. The invitation-only team he'd been too useless to join.]

We could infiltrate again? I have a ski mask.

[What.]

[Ping'd by the mention of Batman.]

Who is Robin?

[Voice] steadfastest November 12 2010, 19:59:12 UTC

....Robin? He's Batman's young male companion.

...

[Realizing how...that did NOT come out right.]

[Voice] crytearsofjoy November 12 2010, 20:00:34 UTC

O-oh! I'd have never thought that Batman would- He doesn't seem like he'd-

[Voice] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:02:55 UTC

[Fix it, Xander.]

No, see--Robin, he wears these spandex tights and a mask, and he and Batman are pretty much inseparable. And Bats watches out for him. Uh...

Willow was...working on a spell to stop this happening. To at least let us know...

[The sound of a sigh. A helpless, angry sigh] There are the teleporters we used for the infiltration. But if the Malnosso don't want us using them, then I certainly can't change that.

[voice] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:00:19 UTC

[Yeah, he'd been left behind during that whole infiltration thing. That reminder alone was not encouraging.]

We used to break into all kinds of buildings back home--why not the teleportation one?

Re: [voice] consultmybooks November 12 2010, 20:02:49 UTC

Do you know how to work it? I don't. [Willow would have.]

Honestly. Let me know if you find someone who can operate it.

[voice] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:03:31 UTC

Giles, it's crazy the things people know how to do here. There has to be SOMEONE.

Wait... sidekicks bring donuts? [MAN! He needs one of those!]

[Voice/Filtered from Legato] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:04:17 UTC

Well, I do. I guess I can't speak for sidekicks everywhere.

[Voice/Filtered from Legato] goldenglasses November 12 2010, 20:06:16 UTC

Don't suppose you'd be my sidekick would you? [He'd love you forever.]

[Voice/Filtered from Legato] steadfastest November 12 2010, 20:07:58 UTC

I--[I'm taken. But...]--What's on offer? What type of kicking would I be participating in?

Sidekicks? Lame. Give me a good dozen henchmen anytime.
