Game on

1- NAME?

After a second Anya rolled her eyes, huffed and then wrote out her answer on her notebook.

Anya Christina Emanuelle Jenkins

Xander shook his head and snorted. He knew that was bullshit from research. Also The Accelerator wasnt making his phone vibrate with a notice of more points. So Anya wasnt submitting. He rewrote the first question.

1- REAL NAME?

Anya tsked her tongue and scribbled her answer.

Aud

Aud? Xander worked the name over in his head. At least it was an honest answer, he felt his phone vibrate as the Accelerator awarded him some points. Like Maude? Rhymes with Odd? And no last name? Well, did demons even need last names? Something to think about later.

2- HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Anya took a second and after doing some subtle finger counting she groaned and shaking her head she put down her answer on paper and slid it over for him to see.

I was born in 860. You do the math. I stopped counting after a thousand.

Xander stared. For half a second he was tempted to do the actual math. With a shake of his head he discarded that idea. She was old, he had known that. He recalled a couple of entries in some of Giles books indicating she had been around since at least the 1500s. This was just older than he had originally thought.

Not like it really mattered. What mattered was that she answered and he got points. Which she had and he did.

Now what to ask her next? For some reason his brain flashed the Peter Venkman interrogating the Library Ghost at the start of Ghostbusters.

3- SO WHERE ARE YOU FROM, ORIGINALLY?

Anya was quick to write out an answer.

Sjornjost, Scandinavia

So that meant... Sweden these days. If he recalled correctly. Maybe Norway. With a shrug he put it out of his mind. If it occured to him, he could look it up later.

And again... points.

He was mildly curious how much he was getting from this. One point? Five? Ten?

But there was no way he was going to pull his phone out in Ms. T's class. He wasnt about to let his phone get confiscated by a hacked off Ms. T.

He'd just had to use his self control and wait. And hope that these 'Baby steps' with the Accelerator was enough to keep the demon lord D'Hoffryn entertained.

So what to ask next? Something innocuous and in line with his previous questions... or push his luck and ask something a little provocative?
