[Buffy arrives on the Plane with a general air of awe, but awe mixed with the extremely wary. Think open-mouthed with a hint of tension as if ready to stake anything that may or may not jump out at her.]

Holy hummus... [She breathes, taking the enormity of it all in.] Toto, I don't think we're in Scotland anymore.

[She's slowly revolving on the spot, which shouldn't really be dizzying and yet certainly seems to be having that effect.] This is insane. This is like that trip to the Planetarium in sixth grade where if I'd been paying any attention I bet I'd know the names of ALL this stuff-- Oh wait, that's the guy with the belt! I know him! Or... no, actually it's just an arrowy thing.

[She sighs, hands on hips, apparently only just realising the worrying reality of the current situation.] Fantastic. I've gone and gotten myself magically kidnapped AGAIN. For like, the third time in two days. The universe could really stand to expand its repertoire.

[She raises her voice, addressing the general ether.]

OKAY THEN. COME OUT, EVIL HELLGOD or HARBINGER OF DOOM or LOCH NESS WHATEVER. LET'S DO THIS. BUT CAN WE MAKE IT SNAPPY? I WAS PLANNING A NAP.

{Giggles} Of course not! I don't know what stories you've read, but just because I need to drink human blood to survive doesn't mean that I'm going to eat every human I meet.

[pause]

Okay, I'm just gonna make this simple because I like to think I have an open mind about this stuff, given my prior history which I won't go into because hey, too much information, but here it is.

I'm a vampire slayer. If you kill humans it's kind of my job to stake you guys.

[madamemoiselle]

Stake, really? Good thing that won't work for me.

{Thoughtfully} I'd advise not trying it, unless you want to be in bad favor with the people here.

[brief flicker of surprise]

You're a different kind. [another pause, seemingly a decisive one]

Well you haven't tried to harm me so I'll return the courtesy. But if you ever get all Nosferatu on anybody and I'm around? Then I'll find a way, even if it's not by stake.

[madamemoiselle]

I am~ I'm what Joel and Amshel called a Chiropteran, but it's easier to just say vampire. I drink blood, so that's all that matters to most humans.

{Sweetly} I'll remember it~

[she's still a bit guarded, but more relaxed than a second ago anyway]

Okay. So what's a Chiro-- Chi... that thing, anyway, out of curiosity?

[madamemoiselle]

Well, it's a vampire, but we don't have the same weaknesses as fairy-tale vampires. Garlic, stakes, holy water, all of that is nonsense. Ne, but I'm still faster than humans can see, stronger than anything in the world, and there's a few other little things.

Ne, it just happens to be that I drink blood, though. I really like humans. I love a few of them here, actually.

[maybe the hint of a smile]

A human-loving vampire. You really are a different kind. My vampires are what you'd call the 'fairy-tale' type, I guess. Mostly growly and unpleasant.

[madamemoiselle]

That must be unfortunate, then. I love humans since the only other person like me is sister and she hates me, though.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Oh my sister pretty much hates me too, it's a thing. Mostly because I cramp her teenage style. What's the issue with yours?

[madamemoiselle]

She wants to kill me so that Chiropterans don't exist anymore. I like humans, but my Chevalier and I have done lots of terrible things over the years. Saya has lived with humans, but this is the first time I really have.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

She doesn't trust you then?

[madamemoiselle]

It's probably more like she never cared to.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

[sympathetically] Harsh.

[madamemoiselle]

I guess! But that's how it's always been, so it doesn't bother me. She already killed me once, so she won't be bothering me anymore, at least~
