Our tale begins in a cyber-bedroom, one that is decorated trendily as well as tastefully. A cyberclock suddenly goes off, disrupting the silence. There is movement under the covers of the bed. A very blurry-eyed Masquerade emerges, only to just lean over and hit the snooze button. She's obviously not quite ready for another day on the voy boards with her faithful crew of intrepid Buffy philosophers.
