The door opens and a familiar face comes in... but for the time being, it's not Michael Guerin in the driving seat.

By mutual consent between him and Michael, Rath of Antar has just come to Milliways as more than just a passenger.

Have at.

"You might not. Lyrae, however, might decide it was funny. And she has the power to act on it."

"...hm. Good point," Faith admits. "Oops."

"Ah, well. At least it's easily undone."

Michael subsides into a sulk in the back of the shared mind, at this reminder.

"It could be worse. I have a friend who could turn him into a girl."

Mmm, Buffyverse magic.

"...yes, I think avoiding that would be best for all concerned."

"Magic from the world I was born in does some very interesting things," Faith says, cheerfully. "My friend Willow knows a girl who got stuck as a rat for four years."

"...that sounds extremely unpleasant."

"She turned herself into a rat to avoid being burned at the stake, which would have been even more unpleasant, I expect."

"Well, yes. A matter of the first thing she could think of?"

"I wasn't there, but from what I'm told, yes. She was tied up, didn't have a lot of choices. It turned out to be unneccessary, there was a Slayer there - Buffy - and she could have saved her, but Amy was too scared to think straight, I guess."

"Hard to blame her", he says quietly. "Especially with few powers at her command."

"Yeah. And my friend Willow said they'd already set the fire."

"Not a good situation to find oneself in."

Rath, master of understatement.

"No. It was....it was really, really weird. There was a whole Hansel and Gretel thing going."

Yeah. That world is weird.

"Before my time, though, like I said."

He just nods, quietly.
