The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Monday-Tuesday, May 29-30

[rahirah]

Angel: I know you've been researching the Master.
Giles: Yes, the vampire king. I've tried to learn as much as I can about him for the day that Buffy must face him.
Angel: Something's already in motion, something big, but I don't know what. You've read all the Slayer lore there is, right?
Giles: I-I've studied all the extant volumes, of course. But the, uh, most salient books of Slayer prophecy have been lost. The Tiberius Manifesto, the Pergamum Codex...
Angel: The Codex?
Giles: It's reputed to have contained the most complete prophecies about the Slayer's role in the end years. Unfortunately, the book was lost in the 15th century.
Angel: Not lost. Misplaced. I can get it.

~~Buffy Episode #11: "Out of Mind, Out of Sight"~~

The Sunnydale Herald is looking for at least one new editor! Contributing to the Herald is a great way to get your Buffy on! Find out more here. If you saw the phrase "HTML template" in our previous calls for editors and that was what made you decide that Herald duties aren't for you, you may be glad to hear that we've set up an alternative posting process!
