So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

Done it a million times, keep doing it until the day I don't move my ass fast enough and Buffy gets a new girl to play her second fiddle.

[ she means die. ]

Slayer Prime.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

There is some hierarchy amongst the slayers, then?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

Not supposed to be. 'S a whole 'one girl in all the world' gig.

[ does she sound bitter? it's because she is nobody ever much liked being the spare half of the heir and the spare. ]

[jurisimpudent]

Did these powers of yours deputize you in the face of the apocalyptic crisis, then?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

She died, one of her fan club brought her back. I got tapped, because nobody told the whatever it is that makes Slayers they still had somebody up and walking.

[ yeah that'll make sense, well explained faith! ]

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

...Quite.

[Is...No, not going to ask.]

And why were you chosen?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

Because destiny's got shit judgement?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

Who was responsible for said choosing?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

Whatever it is picks Slayers. Seriously, like I freaking know why.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

Then...What? Suddenly, at random, someone is a "slayer"?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

One Slayer dies, the next is Called.

[ CLEARLY NOT HER WORDS faith would never speak in portentous caps. ew. ]

Other than that, it's a crapshoot.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

And the "next one" is chosen at random?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

Far as I can tell. No other reason my ass got tapped for the job.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

And those who are able to become them - also random.

'Long as you got tits and are about, like, fifteen? Yeah. Field's wide open.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

Has there ever been any systematic study done to examine whether those who do have the ability to become this "Slayer" have anything in common?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

Just told you-- teenage girls. Other than that it's whoever the line grabs.

[ and then stuffs full of demon but shhh, faith doesn't know that yet. ]

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

Yes, but which teenage girls? All of them?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

You mean like, does anybody get their number in the lotto wheel?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

That's right.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

Dunno. They knew I could be one before I got called-- Diana picked me up, started the training shit early.

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[jurisimpudent]

How did she know?

[ voice | locked by a technophobe ]

[stacked]

I just said I don't know.
