[she sits cross-legged on the floor of the Plane; it would seem a vulnerable position to one who didn't know how fast, how agile she is

she's dressed in a simple black tank top, baring both the muscles and scars of her arms, and tattered old pants, streaked here and there with stains that never quite came out

in her hands, she tosses a stake back and forth, eyes following it as she speaks]

Anyone else here have some kind of destiny? Special powers for the fight against evil? That sort of thing?

Is it still destiny if you fight against your destiny?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[gazes up at him thoughtfully] It's still affecting you, so I'd say so.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

You're right. You can't escape destiny. If you run, it'll just catch up to you... but if you face it, your chances are better.

It sucks when the main character leaves all the agonizing introspection to you.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

It's always better not to turn your back on something if you can help it.

[faint smirk] You're the sidekick, then?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Juni's face is carefully blank, she stands a few steps away] apparently you're supposed to make your own destiny.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Does it work that way?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Of course it doesn't [Pause] The universe will never let people be; it's a fact of life.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[slight shrug] I'm pretty sure the universe kept me alive when I should have died, so I can't really complain.

[Satoshi looks at Kate very carefully]

I assume you do.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

I do. Of course, it's a bit vague - keep killing evil things until you die, and that was the plan already.

[ex_fatalist246]

You'd already chosen that life before it chose you?

[he pauses, and then, politely]

May I sit with you?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

In a way. [her eyes widen slightly, but] Sure.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Why do you ask?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[wry smile] Wondered if anyone could sympathise, I guess.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Almost more than I'd like. But it's important that we do.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[slight nod] Someone has to, right?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Why are you asking?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

This place seems like it has all sorts. Figured I couldn't be the only one.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You're not. [It's said almost sadly] What kind of destiny do you have?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Hullo Kate, have a Nine! Again. This time complete with leather jacket, and a nice red jumper that is not torn to shreds] Who needs special powers for fighting evil?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[with a faint smile] You're looking better. [which becomes a smirk] I definitely don't, but they come in handy.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Had a bit of help with that. [winks] And I suppose they would, yeah. What sort of abilities have you got?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm the evil they fight.

[And she isn't stupid. Drusilla is ready to disappear from the Plane if Kate does anything she doesn't like.]

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[she doesn't recognise the voice; she's ready to simply be wary, derisive when she looks up - and then she's on her feet, stake in hand

but she doesn't move, because she knows Drusilla isn't stupid] Yeah. You definitely are.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

A new Slayer. I can't see who made you.

[She tilts her head, contemplative.]

You're not from my world. I haven't killed the Slayer and drank her down. Not yet.
