[Have a rather ruffled looking red-haired woman.]

Well. This is the most annoying thing that has happened ev- ... In the past week or so.

[She sighs and looks at the camera.]

Anyone want to tell me what happened here? I found this thing and thought I could work some compu-mojo and find out what's going on. But the tech is being all kerflooey and not letting me work it out.

[She shakes her head.]

And It wasn't even my fault this time- maybe this was what the anomaly in New York was...

Compu-mojo? Hacking as the mortals call it or actual magic involving technology?

Permavideo

[justwillow]

Well, if one didn't work I was going to try the other.

Truly?

You are stuck here. Prying too much with magic has the potential to tear the ah- whatever it is keeping us here and create a whirling vortex of very bad things. So it might be best not to poke too hard.

On the other hand, a demonstration of this ... technomagic could be fun.

Anomaly in New York? You sure it wasn't Reed Richards screwing around with something? Or Thor being cranky?

[Because... that makes sense in her world.]

[Video]

[justwillow]

... Thor is cranky, but no. It was some form of time anomaly my uhhh... friend told me about. It was supposed to screw ith stuff majorly. Buffy and I were on the way to investigat--

[Smart Willow. This lady might be one of you know... those large group of people taht want you dead.]

Check it out.

[Head cock.]

Oh you're a friend of Buffy's? Well, welcome to Alternate Dimension Canada. She's here, somewhere.

Yeah, Thor tends to be cranky.

... Time thing? Mmm. Well, that could be Bishop or Cable, or, again, Reed Richards. But... I don't think you have X-Men or Avengers in your world. At least, Buffy's never mentioned them.

What kind of compu-mojo?

Re: video;

[justwillow]

Uhhhh.... nothing?

[No, not hacking. Because if someone doesn't suggest it then they might be in the realm of hacking is illegal and wrong... Welcome to Willow Logic.]

I miiight be wrong, but it didn't really sound like nothing.

[ex_stakes70]

No way. [ And then after the disbelief comes the excitement! ] Willow? God, tell me I'm not dreaming here.

[justwillow]

Buffy!

[She grins!]

Only dreaming if we're doing funky dream world sharing. Which would be sucky. Cause last time that happened we all nearly died.

[ex_stakes70]

Pass on the sharing. This world is so non-dream reality that it's not funny. You should get to the apartments ASAP. I can meetcha there.

Fred! Hey!

[She smiles brightly back!]

[whycantistay]

Please tell me you're indoors?

[paterelohim]

Uh, hi. You know Fred, so I'm being creepy and introducing myself. It's Willow, right? I'm Chuck.

[Yep and it's especially creepy when you announce it while... actually not doing anything creepy. He raises his coffee cup at the screen with a nod.]

Happy Monday. Do you have an apartment with coffee in it? That was definitely the most annoying thing about the first couple days for me.

[justwillow]

You know, the only thing that made you creepy in that entire sentence was the fact that you drew attention to creepy.

[She raises her eyebrow.]

I'm not exactly in a coffee place right now. The nerves are... well not frayed as such as slightly loosened. Caffine would probably accelerate the fraying process.

[paterelohim]

Ah, never mind. We're not all coffee people. There's a good liquor store down the street from the Towers, if that's your thing.

You recovering from the general just-lost-a-fight feeling yet?

[whycantistay]

Look, Chuck. Someone from my world. [Because the Port seems to draw in people like a fat kid to cake.]

[ Excuse him, he's just... staring. ]

Willow?

[justwillow]

Angel?

[... Um. Staring... Welp. This is awkward.]

[mulletrock]

Yeah, the compu-mojo's not happenin'. I've been here a few months and I still haven't figured these things out.

You're on an island in Canada. Some invisible force called The Pull brought you here.

Monsters terrorize the streets at night so you might wanna find a place at the apartments before sundown.

Might as well get comfortable, 'cause as long as it wants you you're not leavin'.

[justwillow]

Canada. Well, I guess the jokes about Canada being some form of hell are true.

[She shakes her head.]

And monsters always walk the streets at night. If you're lucky the daytime too! A-At least where I come from.

[askedtobe]

Kerflooey? [ He gives a slight smile, tipping his head a little. ] Having trouble with your NV?

Re: video

[justwillow]

No. Not really. It just wasn't producing results I'm used too.
