Nathan! Wait-- shit!

[ Even with Peter's voice in the background, everything is black for a few moments before he pulls his NV out of his pocket, accidentally swiping blood across the lens with his fingers, turning everything a lovely shade of red. Because Peter never posts on the network if he isn't covered in blood.

He's crouched out in the baseball field and he stands a moment later, obviously massively concerned as he looks around. A second later, his NV's being ignored as he lifts his other hand, a bolt of crackling blue electricity shooting out into the darkness as Peter's attentions turn to frying a particularly lame Darkness monster. A few moments later everything goes quiet and Peter finally looks back down to acknowledge his NV, taking a second to wipe it off.

... and, to everyone who knows him well enough, he looks like he's had a rather radical hair-cut. ]

I've been here before, right? Awhile ago, I was just-- Can someone tell me what day it is?

[ Oh, so THAT'S what that voice looks like. ] Um -- Didn't I just... talk to you? You like - I dunno, gave me big time rundown on the place. With information. Gobs. Head-bonking much?

[askedtobe]

[ This... would be his face indeed. Boy does he ever miss his hair. ]

Yeah, that would be me. Memories get kind of fuzzy when you're thrown between worlds. Probably has something to do with the space-time continuum.

Or the head-bonking.

[ex_stakes70]

Oh! Oh, so um - you're... Starting to remember now. That's not weird at all...

[askedtobe]

Doesn't really take that long for it to come back. Amnesia was worse. [ Yes, Peter. Just.. tell Buffy your entire life. ]

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Amnesia. Which you clearly recovered from?

video.

[askedtobe]

Helps when you can heal.

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Most people can heal. I heal. [ Yeah not getting it. ]

video.

[askedtobe]

Not everyone can heal as fast, though. Kind of hard to explain without an example, but you might have to take my word for it this time.

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Wait, you mean heal like - kinda instant? Faster than usual?

video.

[askedtobe]

Rapid cellular regeneration, if you want the scientific term for it. But yeah, like instant. Some parts take longer to grow back, though.

[ That one time he had to regrow his heart kinda sucked. Along with those other 7 times he died. ]

[ex_stakes70]

Fancy. Must be nice, that whole instantly healing thing. Girls I'm in charge of? They'd love having something like that. It'd make the job way easier.

[askedtobe]

Girls you're in charge of?

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Yeah. Got an army back home.

video.

[askedtobe]

Seriously? For what?

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Saving the world? They're Slayers. All of them.

video.

[askedtobe]

More vampires than usual?

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Nope. Just more Slayers than usual. Big evil on the rise, too, but that's just your average Tuesday.

video.

[askedtobe]

So what happens on Wednesday?

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Apocalypse. Usually. Occasionally it'll pause itself until the weekend and we make Wednesday training and mochacchino day.

video.

[askedtobe]

Sounds like your world's about as exciting as mine.

video.

[ex_stakes70]

You have no idea.

video.

[askedtobe]

I've got some.

video.

[ex_stakes70]

I dunno - got monsters? Outside of what you heard from Spike.

video.

[askedtobe]

Maybe not the ones with pointy teeth, but we've definitely got monsters.

video.

[ex_stakes70]

Hellmouths? Apocalypses? C'mon, gimme something to work with.
