What's My Line

Ravil studied the threads. He was worried. Scared. Tampering with the very fabrics of the universe.

He looked to when a second Slayer first showed up in Sunnydale. Kendra. That was a change to how things had always been. Two Slayers.

So many unconventional things were already happening at this point that it seemed a safe place to come in and make changes.

He looked closer at the history. Drusilla would regain her powers from Angel. Angel would be saved. That was unchangeable.

Spike would get the book. He would call in the Order of Taraka. That was unchangeable.

But between those points he saw a lot of things he could adjust.

1. Kendra Plane Arrival
2. Buffy, Harmony, and Cordelia Career Fair
3. Buffy walking alone looking for a place to hide
4. Buffy and Kendra meet and fight
5. Xander and Cordelia kiss in the basement.
6. Willow entertains a job offer at the career fair
7. Kendra is anxious around boys when she meets Xander.

Ravil considered the threads, but this time he looked closer at Dawn. she was emitting a pattern of lights: pink, yellow, blue, purple, and then black*. He didn't know what they meant. Did Dick? Was he just not telling him?

He also saw that Willow and Xander still had a dark light hanging around them from their last encounter with Dawn. What effect would that have?

He couldn't worry about that all. He needed to focus on Dawn and building her relationships so she could be protected against the beats.

As before, and always after unless I end up making a change, 5 points to insert Dawn/have her presence make an impact. Adding Dawn always builds relationships between her and those involved in the scene, but 1 point also causes some type of harm, while 3 points yields a benefit (with 2 having no other impact). The larger the group Dawn is inserted alongside, the more the impacts are spread out.

*the color order is randomized. So pink and yellow will definitely occur this turn, with the others being possible if 1 point scene were taken.
