[Waking up unceremoniously in Luceti with no idea of where she is and what she is doing there is of course a disorienting experience. Anya finds herself out on the beach, lying prone on the sand. It could be Sunnydale, except the area she's been deposited in doesn't have much surrounding it besides sand and blue skies.

Her back hurts, and by the time she sits herself up and reaches back there...]
Wings? Is this a joke?

[Some more time passes with her half-ranting to herself, trying to get oriented and squinting at the placement of the sun. She almost misses the fact that the journal is there completely, save when she finally starts to walk and nearly trips over the thing, half buried in the sand.]

[Accidental voice]

- Ow! I have sand in places that I don't want to think about, there's no sign of anyone - what is this, a book? I don't even get a pair of shoes, or even suntan lotion, I just get a lousy book? [She turns the journal over in her hands, pages rustling, her image still not visible, though there's the sound of the ocean's waves in the background.] ... my name is on this book. This just entered a new level of creepy.

The General. [ because she figures she ought to explain that much, at least. ] He -- he leads the Cultists. Maybe even poaches the babies once they're...not-babies. He wasn't too clear on that part.

We get plenty of recruits, we just get plenty of deaths too. [ being a ninja isn't exactly a very safe career. ] Very few ninja see past the age of thirty, and even that's a recent development.

...Mmhm. The dead rise here, too. The prices are just different.

It's hard to say. It seems like a natural part of living and dying, here. It's all cycles. Over and over again.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Anya-san. Please... do not hesitate to call for me if you need anything!

Very well! In that case... It has been a pleasure to meet you, Anya-san! Until the next time we meet! [And... there he goes, continuing to jog across the beach.]

...I know a guy who's had it happen. Well -- I knew a few guys who've had it happen. But this one -- hmm. I was here for the week before he returned. And then he came back. And it was almost...almost as if he'd never died in the first place.

You do. The hypothetically dead you -- [ who, buffy realizes just as she says the words, isn't so hypothetical at all. whoops. ] Coming back comes with a price. So...I guess not everything's free, here. You lose a sense or a a set of memories or a power or a skill. I know a guy who lost the ability to digest dairy. It...

[ it was andrew. ]

...A red hermit man in the tunnels will fix you, if it gets that far. But from what I hear? We're unique in that regard. Outside our bubble, people eventually just go veg from all the things they've lost.

Like someone from Disney decided to draw a demon in a labcoat and the best they could come up with is tomato skin? Yeah.

[ she made a gentle gesture with her hands to bring anya into the beach's ruined fort, which housed the teleporter. ]

Probably not. A lot of ninja are too confident to ever think they'll die. [ This statement actually kinda hurts Tenten a little bit, since, as she's been recently informed, her teammate died. There's a dulled, hollowness to her voice near the end of the sentence that wasn't there previously. ]

...Our way to the village.

[ buffy breathes deep. wrecked as the place seems to be, she relished the smell of damp stone and salty sand. this area and how it connected the village to the shore is entirely pregnant with memories, associations, and little pavlovian reactions along her spine. visits and sails and cool nights filled with mischief. it's hard not to feel just a little careless here. ] We teleport. It's science, not magic. But I'm guessing the basic principles are the same.

[ she steps up onto the platform and waves a hand at anya, implying the other woman should follow her. ]

Yeah. I take this route a lot. At first? It was pretty hinky. I mean -- who wants their atoms scattered? [ leftovers of bones mccoy, right there. ] But it's better than the hike through the tunnels. Underneath the mountains.
