[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.

[That rankles him.]

I'm hardly defenseless.

[noshrimp]

That depends what you're facing.

[bondsoflove]

I have absolute offense and defense.

[noshrimp]

I doubt that.

[bondsoflove]

I can prove it.

[noshrimp]

I've met more than a few demons who've said they're invincible, and most of them are dead now, so I'm not sure why you're supposed to be different.

[bondsoflove]

I didn't say I was invincible, and I'm not a demon.

[noshrimp]

Are you a god?

[bondsoflove]

No. I'm a man.

[noshrimp]

A man god?

[bondsoflove]

No. Just a man.

[noshrimp]

So, you're just a man, but you're an ultimate fighter?

[bondsoflove]

I may just be a man, but I'm also a very skilled shinobi.

[noshrimp]

And being a shinobi makes you perfect? I doubt that.

[bondsoflove]

I'm not perfect. I just have techniques that function as an absolute offense and defense.

[noshrimp]

Absolute implies that they're perfect.

I'm dumb, turns out susano'o is not absolute but perhaps Sasuke doesn't know this yet ;;

[bondsoflove]

I don't have to be perfect for my techniques to be perfect.

[noshrimp]

Well, you have to be perfect in some way in order to do things perfectly.

[bondsoflove]

No. I just have a lot of chakra and natural talent.

[noshrimp]

Everyone says that. They're all "immortal demons" or "invicible demons" or "ultimate warrior demons", and most of them died pretty quickly.

[bondsoflove]

I told you, I'm not a demon.

[Somehow, this conversation is beginning to feel circular to him.]

[noshrimp]

I know, which frankly makes your claim more ridiculous.

[bondsoflove]

Again. I'll prove it.

[noshrimp]

How?

[bondsoflove]

I can show you.
