I'll be sure to be next time.

( he does miss the adrenaline. last time, he happened upon buffy and angelus as they went out the window. and then he found them again, correction: found buffy and a pile of dust. )

Sling drinks.

Why'd you decide to do that? The bar tending?

Been thinking about trying something different here. There are a dozen people willing to go a few rounds, but I was fighting all the time back home. Almost nothing but. If I can't try something else in a new dimension, then when?

Just drinking for free, that the appeal?

Easy. Passes the time. Keeps my hands busy.

You were a fighter? Like in a ring?

No, just the shadow ops stuff. Nearly all combat-oriented, that's all.

Suppose I could look into food and drink service. Seems popular around here. We don't have to pretend the customer's always right, do we?

Black Ops? Big change coming here.

Don't know. Depends on your boss.

Suppose that's true in every world.

Have to try to find a boss who isn't shit, then. Can't say track record's on my side. But if they try to kill me this time, seems it won't stick.

Why I've never had a boss.

Did go after the president once, but the devil possessed him, so.

Hang on.

Are you telling me you killed the bloody president?

We actually saved him. But, we were arrested for high crimes, treason and attempting to assassinate him.

I can't help but experience a healthy degree of skepticism about this narrative, but after what I've just seen ... you know, all right. Good of you. Shame about how that worked out, though.

You stuck in jail last you were in your old world, then?

No, we were held at a black site in the middle of the woods. We made a deal with a Reaper named Billie. She stopped our hearts long enough for us to be moved to a morgue, which we escaped.

We were pursued but convinced the guys going after us that the president had been possessed. They wiped all record of us being there.

( and their mom killed Billie so they didn't have to keep their bargains with her. but more personal shit. )

Heard of that sort of job before. Minus the uh. 'Reaper,' unless that was an alias for somebody who's got good software programming contacts. Congratulations surviving all that fuckery.
