[The camera is pretty close to Anya's face from the start. She pulls it out a little, trying to keep herself in frame. It's still daytime, thankfully, but Anya looks pretty pale and queasy, and the large bandage on her forehead certainly doesn't help.]

Whoever created this dimension, you didn't do a very good job. I can tell this isn't my reality, which is a novice mistake, really. Well. Unless this is a Hell dimension you summoned me to.

[She looks around, checking for anything vaguely hellish.]

It certainly doesn't seem like a Hell dimension. Not many Hell dimensions have baseball. And if you did summon me, in case you haven't heard, I've given up on the whole vengeance business. No vengeance at all. 100% vengeance free.

[She waits a few seconds more, hoping she'll just be taken away already.]

I know the Slayer, you know. Or- Well. I knew- It's complicated, and I'd rather not talk about- I also know witches! Powerful witches. Powerful, lesbian witches. So, send me back! Or I'll unleash their lesbian fury upon you.

[Anya jumps a little at Willow's sudden appearance, but she listens pretty intently.]

We resurrected her? That seems like a very bad idea.

Yeah well you vote to do it and take part in the ritual. You also get the last known Urn of Osiris off of Ebay.

[She gives Anya a little grin.]

But it goes okay eventually. But a lot happens after that... which kind of screws us all over.

[She mentally congratulates herself for her excellent bidding skills.]

So, it's just you and Buffy that are stuck here? From the future?

[justwillow]

And Faith, but she's less evil now.

[noshrimp]

She was pretty evil to start with. That's not exactly comforting.

Re: action;

[justwillow]

Yeah well so were you.

[noshrimp]

It's not comparable. Very different types of evil.

[justwillow]

Yes, Faith killed tens of people and you killed thousands.

[noshrimp]

And Faith tried to cause an Ascension. I never did that. In fact, I remember doing absolutely nothing at all when that happened.

The evilometer is still pretty big in your camp Anya.

[She rolled her eyes they were never going to change.]

Come on. Lets go find your apartment.

[noshrimp]

I get an apartment?

[justwillow]

For a month while you find a job and stuff.

[noshrimp]

There are jobs? How long am I supposed to be staying here?

[justwillow]

We can't leave. Even with all my magic? If I try and leave I risk destabilising the dimension and wiping out everyone.

[noshrimp]

Crap. How is Giles going to run the Magic Box by himself?

[justwillow]

Oh, time that passes here? Doesn't appear to pass back home. So... uhhh Giles will be fine.

[noshrimp]

Well. This is getting better and better, isn't it? I'm in an alternate dimension without a job. And Xander isn't here.
