Mix-and-Mingle

[cityship]

After the most recent pod-pop had been completed, Stacy began encouraging the crew towards the Obs Deck. They would be most effective if they were familiar with each other, and as the Jaime Reyes Incident had proved, leaving them to meet whenever they happened to cross paths was not effective.

Anyone who stepped into the Hub would be transported to the Obs Deck, no matter where they had intended to go. Those who had been exploring the City were verbally herded towards the Hub, although the energy tentacles did not make an appearance.

||Please report to the Obs Deck for Crew Introductions.||

The Obs Deck hadn't changed very much since they'd last been there. The creepy sculpture was still present, as were the fleshy couches. However, the couches were arranged in a more obvious circle this time.

Come and meet the new -- and in some cases, weirder -- members of your crew.

Xander would definitely agree with the tasty awesomeness that is cinnamon buns and chocolate. And he's missed many foods like that since he first woke up in this place.

"Well I got field time, and helped with training Slayers. Dunno if you were around for the Xander show that Stacey decided to spring on me at the last meeting." He's still a bit annoyed about that.

"I...do not believe I know what a Slayer is," Ax said, but felt something calling for his attention somewhere in his memories. "'the Xander show'? Are you a television personality? Zzz. Zzzahnder."

What? 'Z' sounds were awesome. They tickled.

"Uh, girls chosen with the strength, speed, blah, blah for smacking down demons, vampires, and whatever else hates people or likes people for breakfast."

Xander noticed the odd intonations, but wasn't gonna comment on it. He's been around some weird folks over the years so it didn't matter.

"I think so? Only that Buffy, and the rest of us got some kind of dimensional stalker making moolah off our adventures." Rueful smile as he could have imagined Anya offering to disembowel the guy if he didn't cough up some royalty checks to them all. But she's gone, and so's Renee. Even Cordy's past on, and his track record with the ladies looked bad, bad, bad.

"Buffy!" Ax said loudly, face clearing. "Yes, I've seen that show. Marco put it on and hid the remote; he said I was watching too many soap operas."

It had been a decent show, although they had kept insisting that the creature they were fighting that bore the most resemblance to a male Dez-Reenur was some sort of demon. But the humans had never come in contact with that particular species, so excuses could be made.

Xander's one eye was THIS WIDE now.

".............You did?"

"Yes," Ax answered, noting Xander's expression and frowning. "Was that wrong? Guh. Ron-guh."

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

"Just that it included details about my life and my friends? I'm not even sure how much that Whedon guy got right on any of it."

Ax considered this for a moment and then shuddered violently. "I should not have mentioned it. I apologize." Finding out that there was a television show or something about him and his friends in another universe would certainly be disturbing.

"I only watched a few episodes," he said in the hopes that it would placate the older man's worries. "Wuh-tched. Tch."

Xander shrugged, "Eh, you didn't know, and not like I had a choice." Even in the multiverse, he can be stuck as the buttmonkey. Grrr argh indeed.

Well, apparently this man was not familiar because he was a Controller. He could still be one, but that wasn't why he was familiar.

"...We do not have magic where I am from," Ax said. "Gic. Gi-kuh. Or aliens. Or anything interesting."
