Yeah.

We have lots of stuff in the future. We have cars - uh, like, vehicles without horses that go really fast. And we have radios that play music for everyone even if they can't play it themselves. And we have the internet, the internet's really new, it lets everyone from all over the world read stuff and type at each other and learn about what things are like in other places. 

I guess people will figure all that stuff out eventually.

I'll just - go be over somewhere that is not here. Lemme know if vampire guy starts saying stuff, I guess.

Yeah. Uh, I'm sorry about the death of everyone you knew and cared about.

I'll get over it. It's not the first time.

It doesn't actually get easier with practice.

I guess not.

Wish I had any idea where my dog was. He's gotta be somewhere. He's even British, originally, but I have no idea if he's here right now.

Would any of the people we're going after know that?

Council might. He's had dealings with the council before, but not this century.

Maybe we could get close enough to read their minds without coming to their attention.

- oooh, maybe. We'd have to figure out how to either draw them out of the city or allow you to get closer without, like, dying of misery.

If I planned for it it wouldn't kill me instantly but I like the idea of getting them out of the city a lot better.

I'll see what I can do.

Do they investigate supernatural happenings themselves?

I think so. I'm a little unclear on the scope of their operation since, uh, being on their radar seemed like it could get me killed. I did get assigned a watcher earlier this year, though. He, uh, sorta died a couple days before I landed here. He mostly seemed.... well-meaning and like he had encyclopedic knowledge of a lot of mystical stuff, but pretty bad at the actually getting things done.

Do you think if we did obviously supernatural stuff here, they'd come investigate?

Very possible. We could, uh, also end up attracting the attention of other people who might not want to wait two years to murder me.

Uh huh. Okay. What if they get dream visions telling them to come here, would they do it?

...they'd probably send someone. You can do that?

Not from here without knowing the target but I wouldn't have to get that close.

Well this is moderately concerning and kind of a good thing to know regarding any and all possibly prophetic slayer dreams she might have in the future.

How close, do you think? Any information I could get you that would make it easier?

Names and what they'd look like would help. Knowing them deeply as people would help but that seems more dangerous than just getting a bit closer.

I can get you names and faces. 

Okay. Then we can lure a councilperson and maybe have a bit more idea of what we're trying to do.

Sounds good.

She sleeps. The vampire wakes up before she does.
