No More Snakes and Ladders...Teaser Trailer!

[tabaqui]

"Nice little...mice. Little fluffy pink mice. Dice! Maybe - maybe I've got some cheese somewhere?"

"Willow - what on earth -?" Wesley felt an unaccustomed surge of - irritation. *Doing magic in my house - uninvited - who in hell does she -*

"Oh, great," Gunn mumbled, gripping his cane a little tighter - lifting the poker. "We've got Destructo Girl in the house."

---

"Giles! Why are you here? Is everybody okay? Is Dawn okay and Buffy? Nobody's hurt, are they? I mean, why else would you just show up unannounced at our house unless somebody was -"

"Xander. Stop," Giles said, holding up his hand - then moving it back to his forehead. "Everyone is fine, I promise. I was...concerned for your welfare, actually."

"I'm fine. Fit as a really fit fiddle."

Giles looked him over - "I think you'll find not everyone will agree with you."

---

"Good Christ! Have you all gone completely fucking barking?"

"Buffy, that's my foot!"

Buffy shuffled off Xander's foot with a step-hop and guiltily tucked Mr. Pointy back into her coat. "Not...completely fucking barking." She bit a fingernail, looking harried, looking from Spike to Xander, looking...over her shoulder.

Xander sagged against a porch column. "Who else is coming?"

"Nobody. Can I come in? We should probably get to bed. A sleepy Slayer is not a perky Slayer and airplane air is really - fuck."

"God Buffy! As if I didn't already have the address!"

"Dawn, I told you to go home!"

---

"Okay. You're here. You're all here. Why are you here?"

"We're here to -" Buffy looked confused. "Save someone. You or Willow...whoever needs saving. Or maybe Giles."

"Me," Wesley muttered and drained a scalding cup of tea. Then he poured himself another.

---

Connor shifted awkwardly from foot to foot, overnight back over his shoulder, hair scraped back into a messy tail and the foyer fell silent around him. "Uh...bad time?"

Oh boy, anyone for a game of sardines? *g*

This is gonna be fun! So long as no-one else gets killed, of course. ;)

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeeeee.
Oh yes!!

[piratepurple.livejournal.com]

Oh, my. Crowded house. Can't wait!

Heeeeeeeeee.

Oh god, oh god, oh god! I swear the entire neighborhood will hear me squeal when I get home from work to read that on the 5th. You just made me happy that I don't get a "fourth of July" holiday. I'll be distracted all day so I can't drive myself nuts constantly checking for the chapter.

Looks hilarious, as usual! *cackles* Destructo Girl... *laughs*

Kat Coll

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeeee.
*pet pet pet*

Glad that works for you!
:)

Poor Wes! And probably poor dice; they sound as if they're going to have more company than they need.

I'm taking a break from 44 and this was a nice little refreshment from my own words!

Julia, yes, Wes definitely needs rescued

[tabaqui]

Hehe.
Oh good, i'm glad to be of 'refreshment'!

[riani1.livejournal.com]

Could you have Wes smack Willow around? Just a little? Please?

[tabaqui]

*snerk*
Evol thing!
*la la la*

[riani1.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

Oh no. Oh please no. Sardines again, the poor lot.

And what's this about the Tuesday posting? *whimpers* I don't know if I can wait that long.

Poor Xander and Spike...at least Buffy was coming to save Willow and/or Xander...

~Nebula

[tabaqui]

Heee.
*bounce*
Have to do it - monday will be far, far to crowded.

[tsavoritegarnet.livejournal.com]

It's a scooby family reunion! Extended family. Where's Angel? Go Wes, put Willow in her place, she's been a bit dense recently I think.

Tabaqui, could you please put the Teaser Trailer in really big letters? I thought I'd skipped a week somehow before I followed the link. And on Tuesday? You're skipping the US holiday? *sigh*

Now I've got to go look for the comment fic. And WTF does anyone know about Open ID? It's new, I'm suspisous.

[tabaqui]

Heeeee.
Ummmm - sorry?
I'll remember to make the letters bigger next time.

And yes, have to skip the fourth, i'm not sure i'll be here.
:)

Sorry!
Just one day...

Open ID? NO clue.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

The support people have made a post about it here, which kinda explains the basics. :)

[tsavoritegarnet.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I followed the link, but I'll wait to read it until morning, when my brain is theoretically more awake. :-)

[umbralillium.livejournal.com]

I am so bummed that I'm gonna miss next weeks installment. I'm going to be in Calgary from the 4th until the 11th, so I'll miss the next square and the preview for Square 25. *pouts*

[tabaqui]

Oooh!
*pet pet*
But - they'll be here, waiting for you when you come home!!
:)

[umbralillium.livejournal.com]

Very true. It'll probably be the first thing I read when I get home.

List of things to do when I first get online when I get home from Calgary
1. Read Square 24 of No More Snakes and Ladders!

XD

[fanbot.livejournal.com]

I am *so* glad the boys moved away from the gloom and doom of the Hellmouth. It's much more fun at Wesley's Home of Lusty ManSex (tm).

Love you guys!

[tabaqui]

Heeeee.
Me too!

Wesley's Home of Lusty ManSex!
*snerk*

Yea! More SnL!

Just so you know, these are definitely getting more evil.

[whimpers quietly]

[tabaqui]

*snerk*

I think you're right.

[ailise.livejournal.com]

Hee, hee. Family's so deliciously awkward, isn't it?

[tabaqui]

Heeeee.
Yup.
:)

[pretties-4u.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but did you tease about the art? =P
I should have given you like a little excerpt of pink dreadlocks to post in with the teaser, hehehehe...

I just hope there's time to do a seksay Willow with Douse. Pbbbbt.

Lurve you AND your dice.
