"… Does his MO happen to include hosting vampire reunion parties or something?"

"He does not have an MO. Records of his existence are very spotty at best, this is a book about various vampiric threats."

"So, unknown threat going by 'Master', has a symbol that he gives to certain vampires, probably in town, probably holding some sort of – Let's Find The Anointed One party so he can destroy the world?"

"Yes, something along those lines. The Anointed One is said to rise tomorrow evening, according to the prophecy."

"—uh. Tomorrow? That's. Kinda close. To today."

"Is there a convenient vampire hide-out I can try to invade because – uh, let's be honest here, I'm not sure how well that's gonna turn out and that's probably a better-case scenario."

"...perhaps the Hellmouth itself, although I would be surprised if it were there. And the Anointed One will rise, as in, become a vampire, tomorrow, so they'll likely be in the morgue or the cemetery."

"The Hellmouth was… near the school? And uh, okay, so do we just go be extra careful with all the corpses tonight and tomorrow or do we sit there looking for all the dead bodies or what?"

"The Hellmouth is under the school, actually, but yes, we should probably patrol the graveyard and morgue particularly attentively. I might want to ask for your friends' help in spite of the danger."

"We'll help."

"If it's risking the end of the world, yeah, definitely."

"Me plus one of the witches, you on your own, and Theo plus another witch should be a good division."

Nod. "Do we start looking now, and start doing some crosses – I should start marking some crosses – or…?"

"Marking crosses was a good plan, yes. Looking now won't be useful, he might not even have died yet, if he will rise tomorrow."

"So should I try marking around the school, make it harder for them to congregate, or should we try to rely on them appearing here so we can try to catch them, something like that? Not that I'm super confident we'll be able to."

"Marking the whole town is probably a good idea, but I'm not sure the Anointed One or the Master will appear at the school."

"I was thinking of prioritizing the Bronze, first, before all this, unless that would be a bad idea since it'd – spread the vampires out, make the rest of town more dangerous."

"They would have a harder time finding willing victims elsewhere, prioritising the Bronze is a fine idea."

"Do we have more stuff to do now, or should I get to that? Sounds like it could have good long-term effects."

"No, it's a good idea, let's do that. We can do it separately during the day."

Nod. "I've got stuff in my locker for it, I can bring some here?"

"Sure, dearie. I have some things, too."

She goes and fetches stuff and there's varnish and brushes! (Convenient, yes.)

And in the meantime Willow has pulled up a map of Sunnydale and they've divided it in sections.

"Oh, are we allocating who does where?"
