Could anyone fetch me a cane and a pair of sunglasses? I'm assuming this one of those Island things.

It seems to happen to or around "fictionals" only. That aside, there doesn't seem to be a pattern— either that or the pattern is so obvious I don't see it. Wouldn't be the first time that happens.

[stillpretty]

Do they get reported as news anywhere? I mean, I'm not a fan of being research girl but I'm not bad at it.

[sasstastic]

Only through the network, as far as I know.

[stillpretty]

So nowhere I could go pull it up and make a map?

[sasstastic]

The posts are archived. Not sure of how far back they go, but it's a place to start.

[stillpretty]

That it is.

[ Says the techology inept. Buffy's not looking forward to this. ]

Or it will be once the feeling comes back to my hands. I'm Buffy, by the way.

[sasstastic]

... well, that'd be tougher than being blind. I'm the Doctor, nice to meet you, Buffy.

[stillpretty]

Being blind is probably putting a big dent in your career if you're a doctor.

[sasstastic]

Jacob Bolotin. Blind physician, practiced during the early twentieth century and became a renowned expert in diseases of the heart and lungs.

[stillpretty]

I really thought you were going to say optometry for a second.

[sasstastic]

[he laughs. It is very honest laughter]

Got those too, a few centuries ahead. Don't think they deserve as much credit, though. They got technology to help 'em out.

[stillpretty]

Technology's only useful if you know how to use it, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

[sasstastic]

When are you from? Late 20th century?

[stillpretty]

1999, uh huh. You?

[sasstastic]

I'm a time traveler.

[stillpretty]

Huh. I haven't met one of those yet.

[sasstastic]

Now you have. There are a few of us around.

[stillpretty]

A few of the same one or a few different time travelers?

[ She feels like both could be possible on account of time traveling. ]

[sasstastic]

Both! There's a younger-looking fella, floppy hair, bow tie, goes by the Doctor. He's me but older.

[stillpretty]

What, did you de-age?

[sasstastic]

I change. It's an alien thing.

[stillpretty]

Not the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

[ Even before coming here. ]

Where from?

[sasstastic]

Long ago and far away. One of the advantages of time travel.

[stillpretty]

Traveling must be fun. Until now I couldn't even leave Sunnydale.

[sasstastic]

... Sunnydale?
