He and Alex come in too.

"Oh! Hi Father Michael, I didn't know you were coming. This is Angel and this is Father Michael; these are Fazil, Mahdi, and Hagan," she says, pointing.

...she does not really know where to take this meeting from here so hopefully someone else says something.

"You were going to give us a bit of a primer on Earth? And of course it's a delight to meet your team."

"Oh! Right." She flips to a different page in her notebook. "So Earth is the planet you're on. The country you're in is called America, and it's about the richest nation on the planet and likes to think itself one of the freest, although I guess that's a matter of opinion. The state you're in is called California, and the town you're in is called Sunnydale. Sunnydale was built on a portal to hell, and as a result it pulls a bunch of weird nonsense to itself on a routine basis, including vampires, magical disturbances, possessing spirits, zombies, and probably a bunch of other weird stuff we don't know about. Should I stop for questions on that."

"If Hell invades are we obliged to remain and fight?"

"...no? Like, we would appreciate all the help we can get, but honestly probably if the hellmouth literally opens we should just all run?"

Fervent nod.

"Anyway, I don't think it's been an active portal for a really long time. It's, like, dormant. Like a volcano. 

I guess it's probably important to explain how to interface with society but I'm kind of unclear on which things I should assume you know already. Are there any specific things about interfacing with society that you'd like to know."

"So you have all those problems but you don't have adventurers here?"

" - do you guys literally call yourselves 'adventurers'."

" - yes?"

"We do not have people who we call adventurers. We have the people in this room and also some government people who are more organized but less individually powerful."

"What do the people in this room....do?"

"We keep tabs on weird stuff, and if necessary we make it stop disrupting life as we know it. Me and Faith are vampire slayers, Wishbone is a fifteen hundred year old expert on most things magical and mystical, Father Michael is a priest, Alex is... more experienced with weird stuff than I am and training me to get better at handling it. Angel is a vampire who's had his soul restored. Dennis is actually just a random high school student, sorry Dennis."

"A Christian priest?"

"Yes."

"We encountered a Christian church, I think, when we first got here. They were very helpful."

"I'm - glad."

"Fazil's a cleric. Of some god named Abadar. He was thinking of setting up a temple."

"Do his rituals work against evil?"

"Of course."

"Then that seems like a good thing to have. - Christianity holds that other gods are just - very powerful people."

"In the sense that very powerful people sometimes become gods?"

"Do they? No, just that the Christian god isn't the same sort of thing as Abadar is."

"From what I've heard of him he doesn't sound like it."
