A crossover snippet in an established universe where Xander (from Buffy) owns a bar that ends up kind of like Milliways. Everybody shows up there eventually.
Then Starbuck and Starbuck walk into the bar. :-) A strangeness has occurred that gets both He!Starbuck and She!Starbuck in the bar at the same time. The situation is explained to them. He!Starbuck decides now is a great time to sleazily hit on She!Starbuck. She!Starbuck decides that now seems like a really great time to dislocate his jaw with her fist. She stomps off for a drink while he provides color commentary from the floor.
I giggled. :-)
Re: Well, a little something that might amuse you...
That sounds like a pretty crappy day... I'm sorry. I hope there will be plentiful Kara/Sam fic for you, accompanied by warm sunshine-y weather. And that umm, you never have to go to work again. Heh. How's that?
I know, I know, you're thinking, "Harry Dresden? Not having a good day? What a shock!" But given that I'd already been shot at once, nearly run over twice (seemingly by two separate people), been attacked by a demon, and suffered through haranguings, lectures, and/or threats by Murphy, Morgan, and Ancient Mai (and it suddenly occurred to me how many people I knew whose names started with 'M'), I'm sure you can see how this was worse then most. So the last thing I was in the mood for right now was an argument with Bob about my plan.
Guess how little that stopped him.
"This is a bad idea, Harry," he informed me - again - as I prepared the summoning circle. "If Morgan or Mai find out you were trying to summon a demon-"
"Well, I wasn't planning on telling them," I shot back, studying my handiwork. Yeah, that would do nicely. "Were you?"
"Unless you invite them back here for tea, I don't see how I could." He sighed heavily. "Not that they usually need to be told."
"Look, I'm not gonna use it to attack anybody, or try and get any power. All I want to know is who sicked it on me this morning. I think they'd understand that."
"Are we talking about the same Morgan and Ancient Mai?"
Okay, so he had a point. All the more reason to just do this and get it over with. As quickly and carefully as possible I chanted the summoning spell.
Nothing happened.
"It is possible that whoever summoned it may still have it in this world," Bob told me. He seemed to rather enjoy telling me things that were so painfully obvious even I'd figured them out already, sometimes.
"Yeah, well-" I was cut off by one of the strangest sounds I'd ever heard before - and given my life, that was really saying something. It was a kind of mechanical, crank-like, VWORP, VWORP sound, and a flashing light drew my attention back to the summoning circle, where something was starting to appear. It looked like... a phone booth? No, not quite...
"Somehow," Bob said dryly, "I don't think that's quite what you were going for."
"Thank you, Bob." The... whatever... had finally finished materializing. It was a blue wooden box, about the general size and shape of a phone booth, but the sign on it informed us that it was a 'police call box', whatever that was. The doors opened, and a rather... excitable looking man appeared. He took one look at me and Bob and broke into a somewhat manic grin. "Oh, fantastic!" he proclaimed as a blonde girl peered over his shoulder, looking around the lab with curiosity.
Yep, this was definitely not a good day.
