Fic: Mission Statement

Title: Mission Statement
Fandom: BtVS
Summary: Attempts to write a mission statement for the revamped Watcher's Council go about as well as you'd expect.
Note: I was writing for Open on Sunday's prompt of mission. Then I went to look and the prompt is actually market. *sigh* And after I got it down to 100 words.
Rating: G
Character: Buffy, Xander, Willow
Disclaimer: They aren't mine, not yet, but they will be … once I've taken over the world. Bwah-ha-ha!

“Hack and slash,” Buffy said firmly.

“Could be our new name,” Xander said. “Hack and Slash, Inc. Much more twenty-first century than the Watcher's Council of Old Fogeys.”

“Hack and slash? Really?” Willow asked. “How does that explain what we do for the world?”

“She's right,” Xander said. “We could be killing anybody. Oh, I know: destroy all monsters.”

“We're not using the name of a Japanese monster movie.”

“Do we really need a mission statement? Because I can so think of better things to be doing with my time.” Wilting under Willow's glare, Buffy offered another option. “Don't die?”

Thanks. I must be starting to feel better. I'm getting bored with tv and movies.

Any drabble that mentions Destroy All Monsters is aces in my book!

Really fun.

Destroy All Monsters

Thank you. I'm just now thinking that you could probably tell me which of the monster movies Destroy All Monsters is without even looking. I'm sort of hoping for the one on monster island with baby Godzilla blowing the smoke rings. That's so cute! ;-)
