  • [X] Be agreeable while looking for any opportunities to signal your friends UNLESS being agreeable puts your friends in more danger.
    [x]Should I run any plans by you, if they seem dangerous?
    [X] Plan Diet-Oracle
    -[X] Attempt your best to sound somewhat prophetic, stuff akin to "how the Poet Prattles" when referring to Spike, or "what does the Sister Seek" in reference to Drusilla. Do not be direct with your knowledge in any case, neither lie nor tell the real truth, let them make the assumptions of where your knowledge stems from. Do not go hard on it that you are only speaking in that way, sprinkle it in a touch, things you know based on their later character they may react to.
    -[X] Do not stand against aiding them, but try to buy yourself a bit of time to learn what sort of aid they want and maybe get rescued in time. Deduce what she wants of you to the best of your knowledge to get out of here with the least amount of damage and the most opportunity to not be able to undo what is happening.
    -[X] Your goal is to get out alive, and try and regroup with your allies properly. We do not need to be the big hero, nor a paragon of virtue as we are in a position of weakness and danger, but in the fact alone they want something of you, there is some amount of strength there even if it is most properly utilized through appearing weak and pliable.

  • [X] "Admit" to be having some strange dreams about things that sometimes seem to happen, almost warnings of the future. Explain that the crazy female vampire seemed to know about them and wanted to know things about Angel, explain you didn't have much of any visions on him, but you think they may now be after him.
    [X] Admit to having what seems to have been an extremely long vision of a possible future right before meeting Buffy. The vision covered several years, but it had limited information and time skips. Honestly, it felt a lot like watching a tv show instead of living an alternate life. Druscilla seemed to know about the vision somehow and had a couple of questions about Angel and herself.
    -[X] Before anyone gets upset about you not mentioning the vision before, you'd like to emphasize a couple of things. First, you had the vision RIGHT BEFORE meeting Buffy. You hadn't known about the supernatural beforehand, and Buffy and Giles would have had no reason to believe you if you had told them you had a vision about them in the beginning. While you know that Willow would have believed you, you also know that she's terrible at keeping secrets, and you didn't want to interfere with Willow and Buffy's friendship.
    -[X] Second, this vision was only of ONE POSSIBLE FUTURE. Any changes from that future made the vision less reliable, and even you knowing about that future meant that you weren't the exact same person who lived that future. Telling everyone about the vision would have just made the vision even less reliable, and you had worried about getting everyone focused on a specific danger, only to be blindsided by a danger that hadn't appeared in the vision. That's exactly what had happened to you last night.
    -[X] Finally, you'd like to point out that you did try to use the vision to help avert the worst things you saw. Unfortunately, you're a regular human teenager, and knowing about possible bad outcomes didn't always mean it was possible to prevent them. The first major thing you tried to change was to save Jesse from becoming a vampire, and instead, you just pushed the vampires into killing him faster.
    --[X] While you can tell everyone all about the vision now that things are really off the rails, you'd like everyone to consider whether they really want to know all of the "gory" details. After all, events aren't likely to occur the same way that they did in the vision, and they've all lived different lives than the versions of them in the vision. Do they really want to focus on what might have been if everything had happened in a very specific way?
    [X] Admit to having a series of dreams of a possible future, starting right before meeting Buffy. The dreams seemed to show upcoming dangers, but they also were limited to one timeline that was not affected by anything you did in reaction to those dreams. Druscilla seemed to know about the dreams somehow and had a couple of questions about Angel and herself.
    -[X] Before anyone gets upset about you not mentioning the dreams before, you'd like to emphasize a couple of things. First, you had the first dream RIGHT BEFORE meeting Buffy. You hadn't known about the supernatural beforehand, and Buffy and Giles would have had no reason to believe you if you had told them you had a dream about them in the beginning. While you know that Willow would have believed you, you also know that she's terrible at keeping secrets, and you didn't want to interfere with Willow and Buffy's friendship.

    [x]Say honestly what happened with Spike and Drusilla, but dance around what you know
    [X] Describe what you have seen as dreams of other choices. Try and use multiverse theory (something common enough in comics) to describe what you see as a potential outcome, but one that will not happen the exact same due to the very fact you know of it. You are not the same Xander as your experience shapes who you are, just as Willow and Buffy are not the same Willow and Buffy from a week ago. Maybe something about the Hellmouth making the barriers between worlds thinner did something, but nothing you can say for sure.

  • [x]Try to find proof Ford is lying
    [X]Write-in: Tell the others that your visions have shown you that Ford has cancer and might be willing to go to drastic measures to survive on his terms.
    -[X]Don't stop there. Try to see if you can find proof that Ford is lying. After all, you've already admitted that your visions aren't reliable so looking for proof is the logical solution.
    [X] After confronting Ford if he really wants to hold his secrets from everyone, and ask him to consider what existence as a vampire would really entail, loss of self, either a swift dusting, or an eternity of harming thousands of innocent people. Then tell him to inform the rest of the group or you would do it for him.
