I suppose our captors believe they have quite the sense of humor, what with these miserable costumes.

Hmph. I refuse to allow them the satisfaction of spoiling my birthday.

[Action]

*Rachel is wandering somewhere through the village, perhaps in search of tea. Why does she look pissed off? Why, because she's dressed as another vampire loli, and being clad in Remilia's outfit any longer than she needs to be is rather infuriating.*

"The Day Luceti Stayed Indoors".

I've risked death by vampire every night in Sunnydale for five years and I'm actually considering staying indoors thank to a ridiculous costume.

[redstringed]

Of course. Risking death is one thing. Certain humiliation is another.

[consultmybooks]

[He laughs] Ah, of course.

The only two things in life that are certain - death and humiliation.

[redstringed]

*She doesn't.* Humans fear the latter more than the former, you know. How odd.

[consultmybooks]

Of course. Once you die, that's over and done with. But humiliation can be amazingly long term.

[redstringed]

It does have a tendency to stay with you, doesn't it?

Even if you were immortal.

[consultmybooks]

One advantage humans might have over vampires, then.

[redstringed]

Yes, I suppose it would. Cessation - something quite final.

[consultmybooks]

Sorry, did I start us off on this incredibly morbid tangent, or was that you?

[redstringed]

I do believe that was you. Preferring your patrols back home to being seen in this little costume.

[consultmybooks]

Hm. [Giles mentally runs the last few minutes through his head, and he nods] Yes, I think you're right. Sorry about that.

[redstringed]

It's no concern of mine. Morbidity is a mortal concept, is it not?

[consultmybooks]

Well, I certainly have no point of comparison for immortality.

[redstringed]

It would be most unreasonable to expect you to. *Not that she usually has a problem with being unreasonable, but...*
