beer_good_foamyTwo completely off-topic drabbles from someone who feels like he ought to know better; one slightly cynical and one slightly less so. Pick one. Good luck, everyone.
Smile And Grin At The Change All Around
Roger and Pedro snuck a break from work every morning around 10 to wash their hands and have coffee (black, naturally). Most mornings they'd talk about sports, but not today.
"So... what do you think of the new CEO?"
Pedro shrugged. "Dunno, man. Heard a lot of good about him, but I'll believe it when I see it."
"But just look at his track record!..."
The discussion went on until Mr Keith walked in. "Hey! Who told you two to stop sacrificing goats?"
"Uh... nobody, sir."
"Then get back to work. Mr Angel isn't paying you to run Wolfram & Hart."
The Tide Is Turning
After Sunnydale, they'd discussed old Council methods for "recruiting" Slayers. Giles told them about deception, blackmail, kidnapping, parents mysteriously disappearing... making girls do things they don't want to do. That was the old ways. They'd never do that, obviously. But... changing the world can be hard, right?
Then the new Slayers started volunteering. One by one, dozens, thousands;
"Superpowers? Yay!"
"Save the world? About time."
"Just try and stop us."
Buffy occasionally groans that she's the leader and shouldn't have to work this hard just to keep up. When Giles points out that nobody's making her do it, she smiles.
