For this, I have no real excuse, other than, I was bored. Apologies.
Buffy staked the last vampire and sat down on a nearby tombstone. It had been a close one that time, one of the vamps had almost gotten her…she shook the thought of what could have happened out of her head.
BUFFY SUMMERS. A chilling voice inquired
She whipped her head around to see a skeletal figure in a black robe holding some kind of outdated farming equipment.
OH. YOU AGAIN. He looked almost sorry-well as sorry as a skeleton could get
'Hey Dead-guy'
THE NAME IS DEATH.
'Yeah, but that's just so unoriginal'
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE DEAD
'I was never the one for the meant-to-be's, and rules and things'
Death shook his head
I HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH TROUBLE SINCE RINCEWIND
'How is he, by the way?'
LIVING STILL. UNFORTUNATELY
'Good on him! How was I meant to die this time?'
VAMPIRE BITE. THAT'S YOUR 100th DEATH BY VAMPIRE BITE.
'Wow, do I get a cake or something?'
NONE OF THE OTHER SLAYERS GAVE ME THIS MUCH TROUBLE
'I'm not like other slayers'
I KNOW. YOU ARE MUCH MORE…
Faster? Better? Spryer? Is that even a word? Or is it more spry?
I WAS GOING TO SAY 'LUCKY'
Oh come on! We both know this is more than just chance
ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE FATE IS HAVING A BET THAT YOU LIVE. THE OTHER GODS ARE NOT HAPPY. THEY THINK SHE CHEATS.
Betting on me? Hey, didn't that crazy haired genius say that God didn't play dice with the universe?
HE ALSO SAID IT WAS OKAY TO WEAR STRIPES AND PLAID
Hmm, I see your point. Are you in on the bet?
DEATH NEVER GAMBLES
Oh right, you just play chess
SIGH I USED TO. NOW ALL THEY WANT TO PLAY IS THOSE NEW FANGLED COMPUTER GAMES…
Yeah, but you win those too right? Isn't that the whole thing, you never lose?
OF COURSE. This was the closest a skeleton had ever come to flushing with pride.
IT'S NOT ABOUT WINNING.
PLAYING 'NEED FOR SPEED' FOR PEOPLE'S SOULS JUST ISN'T DIGNIFIED
Hey, at least you get them in the end, right?
RIGHT. WHICH REMINDS ME, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DAREDEVIL IN AUSTRALIA
Ooh, how's he going to die?
DEATH NEVER REVEALS HIS TRICKS.
LET'S JUST SAY THAT HE'S BECOME A LITTLE TOO DARING
Yikes. Have fun with that. Hope I don't see you again!
YOU WILL BUFFY SUMMERS, I ALWAYS WIN, REMEMBER.
Death disappeared and Buffy shivered despite herself.
Creepy guy, she thought, as she headed home, dusting a vampire as she went.
