I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

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

So. How's that ENUF filter coming?
Just curious, mostly. But I'm thinking we might want to move it up on the priority. List.
Can we do that? Is there a list?
