Humans are so irritating. But we have to deal with them because
they're important in this game the Powers (our bosses) are playing
with the various Hell dimensions. Especially this one small group of
humans who live on the Hellmouth.
For example, there's this girl. The Slayer. Last year she jumped
into a portal to Hell and died. She wasn't supposed to die, her
"sister" was supposed to be the one to jump. But now we're minus a
very important Slayer and I'm the one who has to fix things.
Should be simple. The little redhead has always been adventurous when
it comes to magic. Just point her in the right direction. I knew
that the Slayer might be a little disoriented when she first came back
so I arranged for a little fight to smooth the transition. Have this
demon biker gang ride in, the Slayer thrashes them, everyone rebonds,
all is well. The problem is the gang rides right INTO the ritual so
everyone gets scattered and the Slayer has to claw her way out of her
own grave.
No problem. Just make sure she has someone to guide her back to
normalcy, or what passes for normalcy for a Slayer. Her Watcher
almost left a couple of years ago because he thought he wasn't
needed. So I arrange things so he's REALLY needed. THIS time he
leaves because his Slayer is "too dependent" on him.
Meanwhile, the little redhead is getting a bit TOO adventurous with
magic. So I arrange for one of her friends to reappear, or at least
someone who LOOKS like one of her friends. Simple plan. The redhead
and her "friend" go on a magical spree. The redhead gets into trouble
and learns to be a bit more cautious. Except that the redhead decides
she has to give up ALL magic. Permanently. Now I have to coax her
back, but she's stubborn and won't let herself be coaxed. Maybe I
need to work on her ex.
New problem. It's supposed to be important that one of the Slayer's
other friends actually marries this ex-demon. Something about a great
destiny for one of their children. Except that he's getting cold
feet. He isn't saying much but I can sense it. Fortunately, I have
this great plan...
