[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.]

[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??

[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]

[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]

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.

[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.

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.
