((Yeah. XD Hey it works))
Thank you so much! The thing with Buffy verse is that Willow and Xander were a couple-y thing a couple times, and Misto and Tugger eyed that whole plot and sorta went whut? The closest they got was in season one when Tugger was rejected by Grids for the dance and turned to Misto and sorta went, hey, you're gay! We should go. And Misto stormed out. Tugger got to grovel a little bit after that. But they've pretty much been through everything so far. They stick pretty close.

Yeah, it was kind of odd trying to figure out what exactly Willow/Xander were sometimes (especially later on since they did still have a slight vibe but then it went Willow/Oz/Tara and Xander/Cordy/Anya. At least, I think Xander went to Cordy.)
And I squeed to see new chapters of 1950s!verse and Victorian!verse :D Best treat ever.
I love how Cori dealt with Jones in '50s!verse. Squee - not quite the slam the door in the face, but good enough. (Too bad Jones is much bigger or it would have been amusing to see Cori shove him out the door, including slamming the door on his tail.) Hm.
Loved the Mac/Munkus interaction (is Tugger going to be their brother in this as well or is Tugger going to be related to someone else? I don't recall seeing him yet and well, so call me a kitten - but I'm eager to see the Tugger). ((Oh, I noticed one little blip - Bomba calls Mac both male and female in the same paragraph.
As for Victorian!verse
Dear /God/, that was the most painful chapter to read. (Oh, don't get me wrong, it was a lovely chapter, however.. Bustopher really made me cringe and I had to remember he's a fictional character and that I can't damn well strangle him. Cori, do the world a favor and shoot him again. I don't care when, just off the bastard.)
Loved Skimble's accent by the way - it's a weakness. I love the Scottish accent like whoa.
Also loved Grids setting up a date night for Cori/Misto - she's so awesome and accepting.

Willow and Xander had a brief fling that ended with Xander and Cordy broken up... Willow and Oz survived after some pain.
I'm not sure Tugger ever showed up in 50s verse... he might but we've never planned on him. It's a much smaller story after all. It's likely he'll be referenced but he has no real role.
Ahahaha, yeah, Jones in Victorian is a particularly nasty breed of that muse. Well, it's topped by him in another verse but that one is far up there on the bastard scale.
Grids tries and that's why we love her so much. XD

seriously, my mind's not awake fully so any possible grammar errors will be blamed on that. Completely.
First off, a large squee on getting a shiny new chapter of Buffy!verse. (Even if it took me a few minutes to remember which episode you were covering in this chapter - the names weren't ringing any bells to start with until I prodded that little mental hamster to remember the second season and went "ooooh, that episode".)
Really feeling sorry for Misto - he definitely needs fudge for this chapter. Really, really needs it. As does Cori. Oh, Cori definitely needs something - maybe he could steal a page from Skimble (a cup of tea with a drop of scotch - or in this case, scotch with a drop of tea).
Worrying, just a little, for Deme - since didn't Jenny get injured in that episode (sticks in my mind that if this is the episode I'm thinking of that there's a bit of demon hopping between hosts)
skittering over to Victorian!verse
Dear /Everlasting Cat/, please tell me Plato is going to meet a violent end? (Maybe someone will duel him to the death and we then can have a parade when he dies? - After all, they were still dueling in the late 19th century, it was going out of fashion, edging into illegality in some places, but I'm sure that's not going to stop someone like Plato) ((Still think Mac's a better match for Vic.))
Forgive me for asking a possibly stupid question - but why did Bomba get defensive when she told Munkus that she was an actress? Was that a frowned upon profession for women in that time? I'm clearly not remembering something. Did like the interaction with the brothers - but I sense Munkus wanted to have a different conversation with Tugger (and probably would have if Bomba wasn't present)

Thank you for dropping us a review, this next episode is an interesting one, I'll grant you.
As to Victorian, Duels existed, but the last fatal duel in Britain took place in the 1850s, so it's unlikely that that will have anything to do with it if we kill Plato.
Bomba got defensive because the implication of working in the evenings is that she's a scarlet woman (aka prostitute). Actresses did still have the reputation for being disreputable (If I recall right) but it was still better than being a "seamstress" (See "scarlet woman") and she has her dignity, pride, and honor.

Yeah, Deme's not coming out of this one unscathed but it happens. >.> To a lot of characters. Everyone needs hugs at this point in the story, who are we kidding?
You think Plato would ever put himself on the line in something like a duel? This kid is all talk and money, never has he actually been good at violence unless it's someone so much smaller/weaker or rape. So, that's unlikely.
Well, women in professions was somewhat frowned upon, but mostly it was the idea that she was a whore. The Victorian Era was the time in all the cities history that London had the most brothels. Plus, she lives with Tugger and they aren't married, which implies a certain level on indecency. Besides, it's Bomba. There's this idea that most men she's met have sexualized her or because she's poor tried to treat her like a whore.

wishful thinking, then, in regards to Plato/duels - well, here's hoping he still dies (I hope, I hope. Bastards like him deserve it) And, ah, I see (in regards to Bomba). I forgot about that part of British history or misremembered some of it (I will confess that I still had it stuck in my head that Jack was doing his slaying in 1896, when he had really stopped in 1888 with unconfirmed killings as far as 1891)
And I will confess that I did a full squee at seeing the latest fic up. Oh, this looks like it'll be good :D (Although, I must ask - human or feline. I couldn't quite tell)

Yeah... I pretty much refuse to deal with Jack the Ripper in this story even though it's about the right time.
Heh, thank you. It's human which will be more obvious in the next chapter probably. This one is human due to the fact that it came about due to my friend drawing me pictures of it and she pretty much only draws human so that's how I've been imagining it.
