[Accidental Voice/Action] 1st Anniversary

[unseenspy]

Unbelievable…I've been stuck in this place for a whole year now. A whole year. A whole year without my—

[He trails off, whispering softly to himself.]

They've probably forgotten about me by now. No…they wouldn't do that. They've always waited for me. If only there was a way to get home…or at least to let them know that I'm okay, and that I haven't forgotten about them… I don't want to keep them worried…

[Yes, he misses his otters that much.]

[Action]

[Later on, as he emerges from C3, it doesn't take him long to notice the Battle Dome just south of his building.]

What is that??

[For Giles, however, fighting in such a wide open space is...strange. He's used to crowded cemeteries and dark alleys. He's also not used to fighting something quite so big]

[Still. He circles around to the other side, ready to lash out with the staff as soon as he gets close enough.]

[Jay slowly inches closer to the bear from his side. The bear has its attention on Giles as he draws closer, and then it takes a swing at him with its claws...]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles ducks under the claws and jabs out with the staff, landing a blow against the bear's jaw]

[As the bear stumbles back from the attack, Jay rushes in from the other side, landing a snap kick to the bear's torso.]

[Giles swings the staff again, knocking the bear's claws away before swinging it round against its neck]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Not bad.

[Jay dashes past the bear, slashing its side with his dagger.]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles has to sidestep a swipe from the bear's other paw, but he manages it] Thank you. [Followed by a sharp blow to its knee]

[As the bear is thrown off balance, Jay leaps into the air, stomping on it with both feet, then flips backwards and lands on his feet.]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles cracks the staff against the bear's other knee and then steps back, ready to clear out should it look ready to fall on him]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[And sure enough, the bear does fall over, hitting the ground face-first with a low thud.]

Stand back!

[Jay flings a small dagger at the bear, which causes a small fiery explosion on impact. At that point, the bear stops moving. The simulation ends, and the scenery fades away, leaving the pair in an empty room once again.]

Well, that was good for a trial run.

[They could get serious later.]

[consultmybooks]

Interesting, certainly. [Giles glances around the empty room, curious despite himself] Wonder what else it could manage...

How did you make that thing, that, that bear?

[Jay pulls out the manual and hands it back to him.]

This should tell you everything you need to know.

[consultmybooks]

[All right then. Giles takes the manual and starts walking towards the door out. He pauses after opening it, however, and looks back]

Sorry I never got back to you, by the way.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

It's fine. Everyone's been busy lately.

In fact, I don't even think I got your name.

[consultmybooks]

Don't worry. I'm fairly certain I never got yours', either.

Rupert Giles. Nice to meet you.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I'm Jay. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[consultmybooks]

Want to try for something else?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps another time. Thank you.

[consultmybooks]

Not at all. Never would have figured this thing out by myself. [He really, really means that] Well. Thanks for training with me.
