XANDER: What's this Ascenscion mean?

GILES: I'm not sure.

WESLEY: No, not really a common term in demonology.

WILLOW: Ooh ooh! The Marenschadt Text. I think in the section on genocide, they mention Ascenscion.

BUFFY: Well, we have a winner.

XANDER: And, more importantly, two losers.

GILES: Where did you find that volume?

WILLOW: In the top of your book cabinet with the stuff you try to keep hidden.

XANDER: Hidden? Are there any engravings I should know about? Uh, frolicking nymphs of some kind?

WILLOW: No. Just magic secrets Giles doesn't think I'm ready for.

GILES: Ah, yes, yes, here we are. There's a reference here to the journal of Desmond Kane, pastor of a town called Sharpsville. "May 26, 1723. Tomorrow is the Ascenscion. God help us all." It was the last anyone heard.

WESLEY: Of Kane?

GILES: Of Sharpsville. The town more or less disappeared.

BUFFY: So Ascenscion possibly not a love-in.

GILES: I think you should meet with this demon, Buffy.

BUFFY: Yeah? Anybody got five thousand dollars?
