[Buffy's face is close to her wrist band. A little too close. And she doesn't seem happy with this turn of events.] If this is a joke, can someone please relay to the joke-tellers how unfunny this is? It's like when peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth and it should be funny when really it's just full of the peanut-buttery goodness that could've been. ...Your mouth, that is. Is full of--

Metaphors are stupid. And so are... are robot bears! Bears of any kind, really, I don't think their IQs are that high and I don't have a high opinion of robots either. Call it a childhood trauma. Even if that was like, two years ago.

Alright, someone be spill guy. I'm running out of babble. [a beat] ...How do I turn this thing off?

Fuck you. Robots are fucking boss. You're just jealous that you're not as cool as robots are.

[ And if she hurts Daneels feelings, he will totally make her his new enemy now that things have mellowed between him and Sharon.

There's a pause and then he smiles. ]

Hi, I'm Kobra. Welcome to Steal-All-Your-Friends-Ville. It sucks.

[rulebreaks]

Not when they're dating my mother they're not. [It's instant, she rolls her eyes to clear the ouchy hurt feelings.] And I meant the bears, anyway. Not--But I get it, you have robot friends. It's a free... weird alternate dimensiony space.

Buffy. That's me. I'm Buffy.

[goodluckkobra]

I only have one robot friend, but he's the only robot friend anyone will ever need. Just FYI. And I don't think he's dating your mom... or anyone.

[ Have a shrug. ]

Nice to meet you, Buffy, and, uh, I'm not dating anyone, either.

[ He waggles his eyebrows. ]

[rulebreaks]

O.....kay. Yeah. Those are good factoids of, useless information. For my brain.

[She smiles, uneasily. She's really thinking EW.] Have you been here a very long time, Kobra? ...Is that a code name? It sounds like a code name.

[goodluckkobra]

I've been here a couple of months, yeah. I was one of the first people here.

[ Ask him how much fun it is to watch your friends disappear and come back and disappear again! ]

And it's not a code name. It's my name. Kobra Kid. Chose it myself.

[rulebreaks]

If you chose it yourself, doesn't that make it a code name, by choosy definition?

[goodluckkobra]

Shows how much you know. It's the only name I'll answer to, so it's my name.

[ He sticks out his tongue like the mature adult he is. ]

[rulebreaks]

I didn't say I wouldn't call you it. [wrinkles her nose!!!]
