Xander stared as Alex painted an otherwise naked Ginny with Celtic runes, "Are we sure that Snyder isn't a demon?"
Harry laughed as he adjusted Luna's fairy wings. "He doesn't register as a demon on my magic sight. Besides, we're in a time loop, we can gleefully ignore him until the last run through."
"I'm still not comfortable with this crazy plan. How do we know that the costumes will even do what you think they will?"
Alex said, "Either way, it's Halloween. We're in a time loop which means that I can go a little crazy with my costume and it's not going to matter."
Gabrielle giggled as she raised her hands, "Roar!"
Willow snickered as she looked at Gabrielle and her silver dragon costume. "She's so adorable."
Ariel asked, "What about me?"
Willow looked over Ariel's way too naughty Goth fairy princess costume complete with a 'magic' glass wand and a plastic princess tiara from Ethan's shop. "You look like a dark fairy princess."
Luna hugged Ariel and said, "She looks perfect."
Puck snickered as she slipped into her green underwear that she had glued plastic leaves to. "Fairy princesses for the win. Just call me Robin Goodfellow."
Willow finished gluing her ears on then asked, "Do you need help with the elf ears?"
"Yep." Puck walked over and stood in front of Willow.
Willow helped glue the elf ears over Puck's ears.
Harry looked at Xander's dark cloak, "What are you supposed to be anyways?"
Xander smirked as he held up a note card with the character's back story. An ancient wizard and potion master that had decided to sell off part of his collection of ancient relics in order to raise money to create even more interesting magical items in his lab, "Just call me the Wandering Merchant."
"What do you sell?"
"Magic items." Xander opened his bag and showed off a collection of plastic baubles that he had grabbed from the craft store. "I've got test tube mana potions, materia from a couple of the final fantasy games, a few other magic items from various games and a couple of different weapons in my bag of tricks. Everything is labeled, I'm hoping that everything becomes real when the spell hits. What about you?"
Harry grinned, "I'm going as my joke Dungeons & Dragons character that I rolled up when Jonathan ticked me off by trying to kill us with that squad of trolls."
Xander asked, "You're going as your wild talent ranger weapons master?"
"Yeah the two weapon fighter."
Alex frowned, "I can't believe that he let you keep the completely insane list of mental abilities that you rolled."
"It's not my fault that the dice like me."
Willow snorted, "It is when you use magic dice to cheat."
Harry said, "I didn't see you complaining when you used the hexed dice to roll up your Player's Option half elf half drow Ranger/Bard/mage from hell or when you got damn near as many wild talents as I did." He looked over at where Tara was adjusting her sexy Morgan le Fey costume that consisted of a loin cloth and a leather vest with beads and fake animal skulls on it. "Or when Tara used the dice to abuse the heck out of a Deck of Many things."
Willow said, "I only did it because he killed my Halfling magic user with a nasty unfair pit trap."
Tara blushed, "I only did it because I caught Jonathan fudging the rolls the week before so that we got less loot."
Buffy scowled as she walked in from one of the guest rooms wearing a purple g-string, a lacy purple bra, a nearly transparent white nurses outfit and a black witch's hat with a red cross painted on it. Technically her outfit was legal to wear but only by the skin of her teeth. "Was that during the Inca mummy mess?"
Willow said, "Yes."
Xander turned and stared at Buffy, "Hello Nurse!"
Buffy said, "Down boy, I'm only dressed like this because Alex is evil."
Alex said, "You wanted the extra special lightning upgrade and I liked the idea of having another people with a mix of mundane and magical medical knowledge around."
"Pervert."
Alex snickered as she went back to work painting Ginny's tattoos.
Buffy looked over at Harry, "I still can't believe that you can make people immortal with a potion."
"Well, ageless at any rate."
Harry said, "I love that stone. It wasn't her fault that she was picked to die by her idiot community. Luckily the only people that died were the creepy guard from her people and the idiot that opened her coffin."
Buffy sighed, "Which is still too many..."
Harry adjusted his leather woodsman outfit then put the plastic sword he had gotten from Ethan's in his leather sheath on his belt. "It would have been nice to stop things before things went that far but sometimes it doesn't work like that."
Xander said, "The unfair bit was that he banned anymore rolls on the Wild Talent chart after that."
Buffy said, "I'm fairly sure you were using hexed d6's when you made your fighter."
Xander smirked, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Hermione walked out in her naughty genie outfit carrying her brass lamp, "Honestly, was there anyone that didn't cheat when they were making their character for Jonathan's game?"
Tonks raised her hand, "I didn't cheat."
Jane asked, "How come I don't believe you?"
Tonks adjusted her blue stone necklace and shifted her features to the features of an old woman, "Because you're overly suspicious?"
Jane shrugged, "Probably. Who were you going as?"
Tonks said, "Katara, an ancient water bender of fearsome skill."
"Oh, are you going to try for all of the elements?"
"We'll see what happens with the Halloween spell." She looked over Jane's suit and asked, "Who are you going as?"
"Jennifer Walters otherwise known as She-Hulk."
Alex said, "I'm done with Ginny's 'tattoos' if you want me to paint your face and hands."
Jane walked over closer to where Alex and her paints were, "Thanks."
Buffy looked at Ginny, "Where's the rest of your costume?"
Ginny smiled as she walked over and grabbed one of the plastic swords that had a sheath and a belt, "I've got a pair of deerskin boots and I can toss a cloak on so that I can walk around without causing too many issues. Who has the marker?"
Xander tossed her the marker, "Here."
Ginny caught the marker and wrote, "Excalibur" on her sword.
Buffy looked down at the plastic sword, "Is that even legal?"
Ginny said, "I'm going as Ginny Pendragon, daughter of Morgan le Fay and King Arthur, witch and kick ass swordswoman."
Jane asked, "Weren't they like half siblings or something?"
Ginny shrugged, "Some of the wizarding lines are almost that bad."
Harry said, "Let me see the marker."
Ginny tossed him the marker. "Sure."
Harry wrote, "Taulmaril the Heartseeker" on the bow then wrote boots of speed on his boots.
"What are you doing?"
"Just adding a couple of magical items that are on my character sheet."
Willow said, "I call bullshit, you didn't have a named magic bow."
"It was on the list of things I wanted to get."
Willow said, "In that case, hand me the pen so I can write robes of the archmage on my robes."
Harry wrote 'Quiver of Endless Arrows' on his quiver then tossed the pen to Willow. "Fine."
Buffy stared as Thea walked into the room with most of her hair shaved off. She was wearing combat boots, camouflaged pants and a black spiked half jacket that left her breasts bare. "Who are you supposed to be and what happened to your hair."
Thea smirked, "I'm Jack."
Harry looked around and asked, "Are we almost ready to go other than Jane?"
Willow finished writing on the inside of her robes then checked her elf ears and used a glamour to change her skin to a dark purple. She snickered as she grabbed one of the plastic scepters. "This is going to be fun." She wrote scepter of blasting on the shaft.
Harry looked toward the kitchen, "I feel a little bad that Sirius is going to be missing out on things."
Hermione said, "I'm sure that he'll have fun tracking us down and tossing us in front of the mirror or doing other horrible things to us."
Xander sighed, "He's going to kill me isn't he?"
Sirius smirked as he walked into the living room with a cup of tea in one hand and a journal in the other, "Don't worry, even if I kill you, you'll come back to life when I reset things."
Harry asked, "You have the red rod, right?"
"I'm fairly sure that it's safer in my hands than yours."
Harry looked at the clock, "Let's head back to the school and pick up people." He looked at Ginny, "You'll probably want to cast a notice me not charm on your cloak to keep people from noticing how you're dressed."
Ginny smirked, "Sure."
Sirius set his journal down and flipped it open, "Let's see if I have this right.
Harry is going as a D&D ranger with wild psychic talents, Ginny is going as a perverted Excalibur wielding magic using knight, Willow is going as her twisted dark elf, Tonks is going as a water elementalist, Jane as a lawyer, Hermione as a naughty genie, Gabrielle as a dragon, Ariel as a dark fairy princess, Luna as a happy light fairy, Puck is going as Puck, Thea is going as a combat psychic, Tara is going as Morgan Le Fay, Buffy is going as a sexy magic using nurse and Xander is going as target number one, a dark magic merchant."
Xander sighed, "Can I pick a different costume now?"
Harry laughed, "Next time. We really should get back to school and pick up the children."
Sirius looked at Xander, "Actually, I have a better idea on what we should do with you."
Xander sighed, "I'm picking a better costume next time."
Harry looked over at Alex and her strange pilot's outfit, "What are you going as?"
Alex shrugged, "A telepath from a video game. I might get something out of it and I might not."
"Cool."
One of Janus's faces frowned and the other smiled as he noticed a strange oddity in the area where one of his worshipers was getting ready to cast a spell that would call on his power. "Remind me to send someone to remind Ethan that I'm not a chaos god."
His assistant looked up from her book, "Sure, no problem boss, messy or instructive?"
Janus looked over his cute naked half nymph half titan assistant with a smile, "I'd rather not kill him as he is entertaining but he neglected to put the proper safeguards in place to protect the innocent."
"Shall I deal with it now?"
"No, there is a time loop in place, he wouldn't remember it anyways."
"Is that going to be a problem?"
Janus said, "No, I'll remember events just fine, I am a god of time after all."
She asked suspiciously, "Have we had this conversation before?"
Janus laughed, "No, this is the first time. I'll tweak the loop so that you can remember the loops."
"Any particular reason boss?"
"Yes, I want you to go to Earth and tweak a couple of things."
"Zeus said that he would hit me with a lightning bolt the next time I stepped foot on Earth. I think he's still angry that I castrated one of his favorite priests."
Janus shrugged, "The idiot shouldn't have abused the nymph he summoned. I'll cast a spell that should keep you off Zeus's radar for a couple of hours."
The assistant smiled as she pictured the fun she could have on Earth, "In that case, what do you need?"
"I need some costumes delivered to a couple of people."
"Why?"
"Technically, I can't interfere on Earth without an invitation or without spending more power than it's worth. That said, you're a demigoddess rather than a full god."
"I'm probably technically a titan, mom was formed from Uranus's bits and she knocked up a nymph..."
"Either way, you're not bound by the same restrictions. Something brought a hero from another world which screwed up a lot of plans and sent destiny spinning."
"We're fixing it?"
Janus laughed, "Of course not. He brings change which is refreshing. That said, he's done things that lead to less change and less beginnings and endings."
The nymph scowled, "You're not going to bring the undead corpse back are you? Love or lust is fun but obsession is just icky."
Janus shook his head, "Even if I wanted to, which I don't, he was killed by an aspect of Death. The power requirements to overturn that, let's just say it's not worth it."
"Then what's the goal?"
"I can see vestiges of the way things were heading before a certain wizard and his wrecking crew were sent here. It's better for humanity if certain things happen." He pulled a list out of his robes and handed it to his assistant. "Here."
She looked at the list, "Easy, does this mean I can have some fun with the humans?"
Janus said, "Not on the last loop."
She pouted, "Fine." She figured watching the chaos would be amusing enough to make the trip worth it, plus walking around on Earth was always fun.
Xander grumbled, "I hate this plan." as Sirius tightened the rope that secured him to the beam.
Sirius said, "The worst that happens is your costume's duplicate kills you then we reset things."
"I'd rather not have that happen."
"I'll be here ready to stun the evil or good magic item merchant so that he can't kill you."
"What if that doesn't work?"
Sirius shrugged, "Then I teleport out and send someone to buy what he has."
"That's why this plan sucks."
"Close your eyes and I'll take the cover for the mirror off."
"Why can't I just stand in front of the mirror? That way I'm not a sitting duck."
Sirius sighed as he dispelled the rope he had conjured, "That's not nearly as much fun as a long drawn-out overly complicated plan that will probably go wrong in half a dozen spectacularly horrible ways."
Xander stepped away form the beam and asked, "How did you get put into Gryffindor?"
"I'm brave and I told the hat that I'd probably kill my roommates in their sleep if it stuck me in there."
"That explains it."
Sirius asked, "Ready?"
Xander closed his eyes and put his hands over them for good measure, "As ready as I'm going to get."
"I'm removing the cover on the mirror now." He made sure he could only see the back of the mirror then levitated the cover off with his wand and settled in to wait for whatever the hell Ethan was planning.
The nymph assistant giggled slightly as she snuck over toward the out of the way nook where her target was sitting in the library reading a comic book. "This is so not where I'd have expected to find you."
Faith looked up startled to have someone actually talking to her. Whatever she was going to say died on her tongue as she realized that the naked teenage girl standing mischievously at the end of the stack of books was soul wrenchingly beautiful in a way that made her flush and get hot all over. "Ah..."
"How would you like a better life? A life of adventure? A life where you never have to worry about where your next meal is going to come from?" She stepped a couple of steps closer to Faith.
Faith pulled her gaze off the girl's perfect breasts and back to her perfect face, "Is this some type of trick?"
She shook her head, "I swear it's not a trick on you."
Faith asked nervously, "What do I have to do?"
"Just say yes."
Faith snorted, "It can't be that easy."
The nymph said, "It can and it is, let me make things better."
Faith asked, "You're like some sort of perverted fairy godmother right?"
"Something like that. I promise no lasting harm will come to you over this."
"In that case, I could use a bit of help."
The nymph assistant smiled as she exhaled a cloud of sleeping mist at Faith.
Faith's eyes widened before she fell unconscious.
"Sorry love but I'm on a deadline." She slipped a somewhat bulky fake 'high tech' plastic watch on Faith's wrist that she had swiped from Ethan's shop. She kissed Faith on the forehead, "Janus, I invoke you, I am as always your ever faithful and naughty servant."
Janus's voice whispered into her ears, "I added her to the loop, have some fun, I'll call you when she needs another costume."
"Thank you boss." She cast a tiny notice me not spell on Faith that should keep her safe until the spell activated. She teleported back to Sunnydale to see what mischief she could get into.
Harry Dark Strider looked around in surprise as he found himself somewhere that was blessedly warm rather than the cursed icy dale where he had been assigned for the last couple of months. The houses looked unfamiliar and there were strange horseless carriages. There were also a bunch of little demons running around, "What the hell?" He pulled out his bow and drew an arrow.
Cordelia shouted, 'Help!"
He didn't recognize the creature chasing her and the cat girl was talking so he was going to assume that the dog like creature was just an unnatural beast. The arrow turned into a streak of light as he released it. He winced as the arrow hit the dog beast in the crotch rather than the chest as it jumped at the last second, "Oops."
Cordelia stopped and looked at the dead beast with a fist sized hole burned through the creature's crotch that was leaking all manor of things she didn't want to think about. "Thank you and what the hell Harry?"
"It jumped at the last second, it's still dead."
"I meant why did you shoot it with a bow rather than use magic?"
Harry said, "I'm not exactly the best spell caster in the world and most of the ranger spells aren't all that useful in combat."
Cordelia blinked, "Ranger? What? I've seen you set zombies on fire."
"Really? Not to doubt your word but I would think I'd remember someone as stunning as you." He frowned as he noticed the rather nasty gashes on Cordelia's leg from a set of claws. "We should probably get you to a healer or at least bandage your leg."
Cordelia winced as the adrenaline started fading and the pain spiked, "At least someone has their head on straight. What the hell is going on?"
"We seem to be under attack by monsters." He drew another arrow then shot and killed one of the small demons running around.
Cordelia muttered, "Where's Buffy when you need her?" She smiled seductively at Harry, "You'll protect me, right?" She figured that he was still handsome even if he did hang out with Willow and Xander.
"Of course. I'm sure that we'll find a weapon for you at some point."
Alex Starfox giggled as she flew through the air in her mental ship. 'Being tossed through the Veil of Death and landing in that hellhole space station was the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure, it took me a while to get rid of the organization that had their claws in me but I'm here and they're not." She snickered as she approached London and the Ministry of Magic. She wasn't sure how she had gotten back to her world but she was going to take advantage of it to settle some scores. "Die fuckers!" She unleashed her Winter Tempest ability on Diagon Alley and laughed as everything vaporized. Destroying the Ministry of Magic was the most satisfying part of her attack. "I will fuck you, I will fuck you till you bleed!" She laughed as she blew apart Knockturn Alley then spun and headed for her aunt's house. "I'm coming for you bitch!"
Faith Stark blinked a couple of times when she woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar library. "Great, Pepper is going ground me."
She reached down and checked her watch, phone, shield generator and miniaturized Arc reactor, "What do you mean you're at five percent power?" She waited a couple of seconds, "Jarvis? Jarvis... hello?" She gulped, "Okay forget Mom, Dad's going to kill me for losing Jarvis." She looked down at her clothes. "Okay, last thing I remember was flirting with a really cute girl at one of Dad's parties then nothing. I hope she's all right." She hit the button that should dial home.
"I'm sorry that number has been disconnected or is no longer in service."
Faith blinked, "What the hell?" She went through the half a dozen contact numbers she had which were all either not in service or were businesses that had nothing to do with the people they were supposed to. Faith took a deep breath then let it out, "Okay, first thing, first, find a weapon then find someone that can explain where I am." She stopped as she glanced down at the floor and saw the Iron Man comic sitting there, "Okay, first thing first, read the suspiciously placed comic about Dad for clues." She picked up the comic and started reading.
Ginny Pendragon smirked as she saw a nasty looking fighter with spiky white hair surrounded by a couple of short demons and a few other taller soulless human like creatures. She wasn't sure how she had gotten from the castle to this strange land but she could sense evil in the monsters around her. "By order of my father King Arthur all monsters shall be destroyed!"
Spike snorted as he looked over the mostly naked girl with a red cloak and leather boots, "Well isn't this special. This wee strip of a naked girl fancies herself a knight. Get her boys." Half his vampires and a third of the demons charged her.
Ginny smirked as she drew Excalibur from her sheath and held it up. "Excalibur, sword of light!"
Spike gulped as the sword flashed and the charging vampires turned to ash between one step and the next. The little demons turned and ran for it. "Bugger." He turned and ran as fast as he could. "Bloody Excalibur."
Ginny laughed as she charged the group of demons. She danced from one demon to the next as she cut them down.
Drae Spelldancer looked around the strange surface town that she found herself in, "I'm so going to be late to mother's ball." There were little human children and demons running around all over the place. She noticed a rather cute young elf girl looking her way. "This could be a problem."
Puck tilted her head and looked at the other faerie creature with purple skin for a couple of seconds then started walking toward her, "I don't suppose you can tell me what's happening?"
Drae shook her head, "I was getting ready for a ball when I was brought here."
Puck looked at the metal sword the cute elf was carrying, "Do you always bring weapons to a ball?"
"Of course, not having a weapon at one of mother's balls would be crazy."
Puck looked around, "An interesting prank but it seems a bit dangerous. Some of these creatures are children."
Drae cast a detect magic spell and looked around, "I sense magic on several of the children, yourself included."
Puck said, "In that case, perhaps we should investigate what is causing the problem."
Drae said, "We should be careful, something brought us a long way."
Katara reached out toward the broken pipe that was gushing water and sent the water against the little monsters that were trying to eat a young girl with strange wings. "Be gone monsters."
Princess Luna looked at the magic user controlling the water and over at the dark fairy with her, "What court are you?"
Ariel Dresden said, "Winter. Do you know what's going on?"
Princess Luna shook her head, "Is that light or dark?"
Ariel blinked a couple of times, "Light or dark? I guess you could say that winter is the battle faction and sometimes we're a bit darker but hey we're fighting an endless war against the stuff beyond the gates."
Luna frowned, "So you're not going to attack me?"
Ariel looked around, "No, Mom says that picking fights is bad."
"What's your dad say?"
"That I should carry a rather large stick and that I'm supposed to beat anything that attacks me to death with it if it can't be reasoned with."
Katara walked over to where the two girls were talking, "We should probably get somewhere safe."
Luna looked around, "I'd rather help people."
Ariel smiled as she looked at the various monsters running around, "Let's go beat up on any of the monsters that don't fall in line."
Katara asked, "Then what?"
"They I call my Mom and she has Daddy beat up whoever kidnapped us."
Luna said, "I like that plan."
Gabrielle held on tight to her genie bottle with one clawed hand and rubbed her lamp with her other hand, "Genie."
Genie glanced around the area where various small monsters were causing destruction then looked over at the baby silver dragon that had summoned her, "What is your wish Master?"
"I'd like to know what's going on?"
"Is that a wish?"
"Simply a request."
Genie stuck her tongue out the dragon, "In that case, you should probably scout things out yourself."
"You're a horrible genie."
Genie smirked, "I'll make you a deal."
Gabrielle asked, "Can you at least tell me which direction we need to go to fix this?"
Genie giggled as she conjured twenty nine floating hands around her all pointing in different directions then crossed her arms and added two more directions. "That way."
Gabrielle grumbled, "That's not fair."
"The world is a sphere."
Gabrielle pointed to one of the floating hands that was pointed straight up. "I'm fairly sure that one at least isn't accurate."
Genie reached out and tilted it until it pointed to the left rather than straight up, "Better?"
"Yep. You know, the sooner we stop whatever evil wizard is causing the chaos the sooner we can get ice cream."
All of the hands spun and pointed to the left.
"Thank you." Gabrielle headed off toward the left.
Cordelia asked, "Buffy?" once she recognized the girl wearing little more than a s-string, a lacy bra that so wasn't her style, a pair of boots, a witch's hat and a see-through Halloween nurse's outfit.
Buffy turned and looked at a girl in a cat girl outfit and a handsome looking man with long dark hair dressed a little bit like Robin Hood, "Hello, would you like me to heal your injury?"
Cordelia asked, "You can heal?"
Buffy glanced to make sure the small demons were keeping their distance, "Of course, I'm a fully trained medical witch."
"Then heal me."
Harry asked, "How much?"
Buffy looked over the rather deep gashes that were still bleeding through the bandage one of them had applied. "That looks rather nasty. If you don't get it healed, you'll probably be dead within the hour."
Cordelia scowled, "That's why we were trying to get to the hospital."
Buffy looked at Harry, "You look decent in a fight."
Harry said, "I'm decent enough."
"In that case, I'll heal the girl for two sex acts and your protection from the rampaging monsters until we get somewhere safe."
Cordelia started at Buffy, "Have you gone mental?"
Buffy shook her head, "Nope, sex is the standard form of payment for medical treatment for my order."
Harry asked, "Order?"
"The Sacred Order of Tentacle Porn."
Cordelia said, "Fine, just heal me. We'll settle up after we're safe." She was really hoping that the situation would get resolved before that.
Buffy smiled as she pulled out her wand and waved it over Cordelia's leg. "There we go."
Cordelia felt the pain vanish, "Thank you."
Harry frowned as he saw a large group of monsters coming their way, "As much as I'd love to fuck you on the nearest horseless carriage, we should probably get someplace safe first."
Cordelia said, "Good."
Giles stepped into the back of the shop where Ethan was standing, "How do I end this?"
Ethan smirked, "Hello Ripper."
Giles said, "This is sick."
"It's just a bit of fun Ripper, there was a time where you understood that."
Giles raised his hand and conjured a fireball, "Tell me how to fix it or things are going to get very unpleasant for you."
Ethan laughed, "Now there is the old Ripper. What do you think your precious slayer would say about her watcher if she knew what you're capable of?"
Giles smiled coldly, "If you don't tell me how to end the spell you'll be in no condition to tell her."
Ethan laughed, "I knew that whole reformed thing was an act."
Giles tossed the ball of fire at Ethan's leg. "I was trying."
Ethan screamed and thrashed around on the floor as Giles's fire clung to his leg like napalm.
Giles walked over and kicked him in the ribs. "How do I end the spell?"
Ethan gasped out, "Janus."
Giles gestured and let the flames die. "How?"
Ethan took a moment to compose himself before saying, "Get bent Ripper."
Giles gestured and used a binding spell to keep Ethan from moving or talking. He pulled a vial of Veritaserum out of his pocket and poured a third of it down Ethan's throat then relaxed his binding. "How do I end the spell?"
Ethan's eyes glazed over, "Break the bust of Janus."
"Where is the spell?"
"In my spell book."
"Where is your spell book?" Giles figured now was as good a time as any to end the spell.
Ethan explained where his spell book was despite his best effort at refusing. He was not happy as Giles spent the next thirty minutes extracting information out of him. He was even less happy when Giles broke the bust of Janus over his head after he ran out of questions he wanted to ask.
Buffy blinked as she suddenly got control of her body back, "I'm going to kill Alex for this costume. I mean seriously the Order of Tentacle Porn?"
Harry snickered, "The Scared Order of Tentacle Porn." He sighed, "Don't take this the wrong way but I'm glad that we didn't do anything."
Buffy smiled slightly, "Yeah, if I'm going to do anything with you, it's going to be after a couple of dates."
Cordelia sighed in relief, "I'm glad that you're back."
Harry said, "Looks like it."
Buffy said, "I'm back."
Cordelia snorted, "What possessed you to wear that costume?"
"I was paying for another mystical upgrade."
Cordelia looked at Harry, "You got her to wear that?"
Harry said, "Nope, that was all my sister. We should probably get back and check on everything." He looked at Cordelia, "Are you going to be able to get back to the school without us?"
Cordelia said, "I'd rather not have to."
Buffy said, "We've got to round up the children anyways."
"True."
Faith blinked a few times as she found herself back in control of her body, "What the hell was that?" She looked down at her wrist where the plastic toy was. "Maybe I got some bad food at the dinner..." That still didn't explain why she had a bunch of technical schematics running through her head of stuff that would probably net her some cash or why she had a bunch of odd memories from another her. "I'm going to have to see if I can put this all together." She figured she could probably get a couple of the things she needed from the local Radio Shack.
Sirius asked, "Are you all right?" as Harry, Alex and Buffy walked into the living room where Xander and him were sorting things that he had recovered off an evil Xander merchant.
Alex shook her head, "Not really. Apparently my character had anger issues."
Harry asked, "What happened?"
"I went as a self insert to that stupid space game. She sort of went on a rampage and blew up Diagon Alley and the ministry."
Xander smirked, "Way to go Alex."
Harry winced, "I'm not sure if that's better or worse than what happened with Buffy."
Buffy said, "You almost got me raped by Cordelia and Harry."
Alex blinked, "What?"
"The naughty nurse was really naughty and liked getting sex as payment."
Xander winced, "Ouch."
Alex said, "I had nothing to do with that. The back story we made up said that she was a bit perverted and an exhibitionist but that shouldn't have resulted in you wanting to sleep with random people. I mean you approved everything on the list we tucked into your hat."
Buffy frowned, "I don't suppose we can charm a portkey to activate if a specific set of circumstances happen."
"I've got a couple of ideas." Sirius looked at Harry, "How did your character work out?"
Harry said, "I think I can apply some of the mental tricks my character knew to the telepathy from the telepathy necklaces. Most of the others aren't working. As for the back story, I didn't have a problem other than I remember him going on a mission up north that I don't remember playing. That's when he got his bow and quiver." He shrugged.
Hermione said, "My stuff's basically a wash other than a few ideas on research."
"I had fun as a dragon at least until some mean dark magic user popped in with a mirror of opposition and nearly got me killed by an evil dragon copy." Gabrielle glared at Sirius.
Hermione asked, "Are you crazy?"
Sirius said, "It was too good of a chance to pass up. I wanted to see if we could keep a copy of something the Halloween spell created, we can. Once we copy the evil dragon we can send the good version back in time."
"I guess she could work as a library assistant."
Gabrielle said, "Having a dragon librarian would be neat."
Tara walked in with Ginny, "Did everyone else make it?"
Harry said, "Have we heard back from Tonks yet?"
Sirius said, "She called in with her mirror. Her, Ariel and Luna should be back shortly. Jane should be back shortly as well."
Tara asked, "Any word from Willow?"
Xander said, "Willow called in a little bit ago. Her and Puck are checking on Giles then coming back here." He smiled as he ran his gaze over Buffy's body, "Are you going to go change Buffy?"
Buffy shrugged, "Why? Oh hell. I don't feel the least bit self conscious."
Alex frowned, "I don't feel particularly homicidal but we should probably avoid characters that have mental issues."
Buffy sighed, "Joy..."
Jane walked in with a smirk on her face, "That was fun."
Buffy looked at Jane, "How did you do?"
"Jennifer ran around helping people which worked out nicely. I've got a bunch of legal information bouncing around in my head which might be interesting to copy with a skill candy."
Harry said, "I've got a couple of skills that I'd love to turn into skill candies."
Tara said, "I'm looking forward to copying some of Morgan le Fey's abilities down as well."
Alex asked, "Any horrible memories?"
"Some memories of war that aren't that great and some memories of Harry, I mean Arthur in bed but mostly I remember practicing magic and having sex with Ginny a lot. I'm probably going to freak out a bit more once things settle down."
"She's a wildcat in the sack or at least Morgan was." Ginny smirked, "Sometimes literally as she was a shape shifter."
Buffy said, "Too much information."
Xander said, "I'm curious."
Alex snickered, "So am I."
Ginny snickered as she walked over to an empty couch and flopped down on it backwards so that her cloak wasn't covering anything. "Please come over here and fuck me silly Alex."
Xander stared as Alex walked over, licked her finger before she slipped her finger inside Ginny's pussy and started slowly fucking her while everyone watched.
Jane slipped a hand down her slacks while she watched Alex and Ginny.
Hermione smiled as she stripped out of her naughty genie costume and pressed herself against Harry. "Fuck me."
Sirius sat down and turned away from the group to work on his notes, "Has anyone seen Thea?"
"I haven't heard from her." Harry unbuckled his belt and slipped out of his pants so that he could slip his penis into Hermione from behind.
Buffy bit her finger as she watched Harry fuck Hermione in the middle of the living room. 'I so need to find a girl or a guy and get my rocks off.'
Tara walked over and sat down by Ginny's head so that she could run her fingers over Ginny's breasts while Alex finger fucked Ginny.
To say Giles was embarrassed when he walked into the living room with Willow and Puck a couple of minutes later was an understatement. Giles sputtered and looked away from where Ginny was twitching in the middle of an orgasm and Harry was fucking a naked Hermione from behind, "Warning signs are good."
Alex snickered as she stopped finger fucking Ginny as Ginny relaxed. "That was fun."
Ginny giggled, "I love you."
Tara blushed as she took her hand off Ginny's breasts.
Harry smirked as he shot his load into Hermione.
Hermione blushed.
Buffy guiltily pulled her finger out of her pussy. She was just thankful that she had her back to the door. Giles seeing her without clothes or in a naughty nurse's outfit was one thing but she didn't think she could live it down if he had actually seen her finger fucking herself. "Blowing off steam. How did it go at Ethan's shop?"
Giles said, "I managed to convince him that he should tell me all about his Halloween spell and how to stop it."
Willow said, "That's excellent news. It means we can position someone to break the spell the next loop before anyone gets hurt."
Puck said, "So now what?"
Giles continued looking at the floor, "Now we wait for everyone else, compare notes and record memories for a couple of days before we reset things and swap costumes."
Buffy said, "We're going to have to put in some safeguards or at least pick some safer costumes this time around."
Giles asked, "Safer?"
"My nurse personality was a bit of a sex fiend. I'd rather not have people using my body for sex while I'm out of it."
Xander pulled his gaze off Buffy's crotch, "Maybe we could set up a ward that would trigger a portkey if a couple of different situations happened."
Sirius said, "That could might work."
Giles said, "That would make me feel better about this crazy project."
Harry pulled out of Hermione, "I'd rather not have sex with some random girl or worse Cordelia while I'm my costume."
Willow said, "Agreed."
Puck said, "She's sort of cute."
Harry grinned, "Yeah and I'd like to remember it."
Willow shook her head.
Hermione walked over and grabbed Puck, "I need a shower."
Puck snickered, "Shower sex."
Harry said, "That sounds good."
Hermione smiled as she left with Puck and Harry.
Willow snorted, "Sometimes I wonder about them."
Jane giggled as she wrapped her hands around Willow from behind and pulled her over to the couch to sit on her lap. "Only sometimes?"
Willow said, "Okay, a lot."
Buffy said, "That sounds more like it."
Sirius got up and headed for the kitchen, "Giles, do you want some tea?"
Giles quickly hurried for the kitchen while trying not to look at anything. "Good lord yes."
Thea walked in with a frown on her face, "I'm so glad that we're resetting this run through."
Xander asked, "What happened?"
Thea said, "I castrated our GM. It was an honest mistake."
"What?" He wasn't sure how the hell that could be an honest mistake but figured he should probably ask anyways, "What happened?"
"He dressed as Commander Sheppard."
"I thought Jack liked Commander Sheppard?"
"My Commander Sheppard is a girl, it got a bit messy when he grabbed my ass."
Xander winced, "Sorry."
Thea said, "I'm okay, I'm just glad that Jonathan isn't going to remember what happened. I'm probably going to need some dreamless sleep potions for a bit though."
Alex held out her arms, "Do you want to snuggle?"
Thea looked over at Xander, "You should fuck me while Xander watches."
Buffy winced, "Now I see what you meant when you said that there were hot naked girls all around and you weren't getting any."
Xander sighed, "Exactly."
Thea pouted, "Does this mean you don't want to watch?"
Xander smiled at her, "I didn't say that."
Thea took off her jacket that wasn't hiding much anyways and slipped out of her pants and panties then walked over to Alex and turned her back to Alex so that she could look at Xander while Alex played with her.
Xander asked, "Is it too late to track down the mummy girl and start a relationship?"
Willow said, "Yes."
Buffy laughed, "She'll probably be back eventually once she finishes touring the country. Then again she is a reformed life draining mummy so maybe starting a relationship with her isn't the best idea."
Xander watched as Alex slipped a finger inside of Thea. "We'll see."
Gabrielle giggled as she watched Alex have fun with Thea.
Jane smiled as she slipped her hand down Willow's pants, "Hey Xander."
Willow blushed, "Hey."
Xander looked over then looked back over at Thea then glanced at Jane's hand then at Willow's face, "Ah..."
"Behave."
Jane snickered as she pulled her hand out of Willow's pants and hugged her, "Okay, let's just watch the show."
Buffy said, "You're all perverts."
Willow ran her eyes over Buffy's body, "You like it."
Buffy blushed, "Maybe a little."
Ariel giggled as she walked into the living room with Luna and Tonks. "We're home."
Luna smiled as she saw Alex playing with Thea while people watched, "Where did Harry wander off to?"
Alex wiggled her finger a touch, "He's having shower sex with Hermione and Puck or at least that's what I'm guessing."
Xander sighed, "I love you and I hate you all."
Thea snickered as she blew Xander a kiss then rubbed her breasts with her hands while Alex worked to send her over the edge again.
Luna said, "I'll catch you later then."
Tonks asked, "Sirius?"
Willow pointed to the kitchen, "They're having tea."
Tonks said, "Thanks." as she walked off to the kitchen.
Buffy looked at Ariel, "How are you doing?"
Ariel said, "I'm still trying to sort through Ariel Dresden's memories. She was a lot of fun. I'm going to have to see how much of her magic I can duplicate."
Buffy said, "I think we're all going to be working on that a bit during the next couple of days."
Tara said, "Same here. Are you okay otherwise?"
Ariel said, "I think so."
Willow asked, "Have you figured out what you're going to go as next?"
Ariel shook her head, "Not yet. Maybe something with Gabrielle."
Gabrielle said, "That could be fun. Maybe we'll go as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff or something."
Ariel shook her head, "They're old."
Tara said, "We should probably get you some dinner then get you to bed."
Ariel said, "I could eat."
Willow wiggled against Jane, "That sounds like a good idea, bedroom?"
Jane smirked, "If you insist."
Alex smirked and slid off the couch as Thea sank to her knees. She continued working on Thea's pussy with her fingers.
Buffy abandoned her dignity as she put her finger inside her pussy and worked it in and out as she watched Thea do her best to tease Xander while she got fucked by Alex.
Tara watched for another couple of seconds then led Ariel and Gabrielle to the kitchen to get something to eat. She wasn't sure how she was going to feel once they reset things but for now she was enjoying being more relaxed about everything.
