Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've updated the .org map page so that it should load much faster now.

Coming up next...Buffista to Buffista driving directions.

I am kidding. I hope you realise that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

HA! After that you can tie it into the GPS on our phones so we can see livetime info as Buffistas move about the world. Then there could be little graphic sparks flying when there's a F2F and there is too high a concentration of Buffistas in one area.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

the GPS on our phones

The who with the what now?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The thing on the wall, with the curly cord? Some of these "steam punk" kids are sticking compasses and gyros and such on them now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ain't nobody sticking a LoJack on me.

My phone has that capability--the "Buddy Beacon" integrates iwth the GPS to tell you where your friends with teh same cellphone service are. Except I don't know anyone else who has a Helio phone, so it would be sorta useless.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh, I've tried putting in my zip code and my street address, but it doesn't move me on the map. It keeps putting me right on the word "Oakland."

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

have you tried zooming in? I was all salty that when you clicked DC you got Wolfram, until I did a max zoom and then there I was! on my street!

Yep, I've zoomed in all the way. I'm right on top of the word!

I wish you could zoom in with the scroll wheel like you can do on normal Google Map, though.

Had you been in as "Oakland" at any point, PC?
