PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

[ooc: Backdated to a few days after everyone comes back from the dead, and before her message to Cordy and Peter]


I'm sorry for running away everyone. I'm especially sorry to you, Monica. It wasn't fair of me to leave Aaron to you like that.

I'm not going to try and explain why I did what I did, because that would mean I'd have to share some things I'm not prepared to yet. It's not because I really wanted to leave you all and Aaron, all I'll say is I did what I thought was best for him. But go ahead, and yell at me, lecture me if that's what you really want.

I'd understand if you guys don't trust me again, but if you need any help in the office or anything again, I'd be more than willing to take up my old job again. If not well, I'll be around.

And I promise I won't run away again.

I know you two are probably furious at me. I know I would be. I'm sorry for just up and leaving but please give me a chance to explain why I did what I did. Or at least try to listen?

And thank you for letting me come back to the hotel. I'm willing to help out with anything...if you want it that is. If not I'll stick to my room, I don't want to be in anyone's way.

I wish my mum were here.

Or even my dad.

Love, love, love, love, love.

You humans speak of love. Constantly. You smile and flaunt and scream for it.

But in the end? It only breaks you. It destroys you.

This...this...how...

Aaron is alive!

I know you both have better things to do, and I have no right to be asking this but.

I do have a favor to ask. A big one.

I know I am not familiar with many of you, but my name is Jaenelle, and I am an accomplished Healer. I have read that many of you are not feeling well, and if I can be of any assistance, you have but to ask.

Arr! Avast me hearties! How be ye land lubbers?

Drink up me hearties, yoho!

I feel kind of strange for asking this, but, is there anyone else who likes to sit on a rooftop, or outside at night. In an uncrowded location, and just stare at the moon, or at least try to?

I probably sound insane, but I've always felt drawn to it somehow. Like, I could just stare at it all night, and be content.

Rather insane, huh?

[Filtered to Heather]

You still have my player?

I'm not... I can't even... I really wish I wasn't shaking right now, because it's making it way too hard to type.

I'M ENGAGED.

Not that I expect anyone to really be interested anymore since I've committed some big ass sin. and been voted off the island. But thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

I'm going to open up my own business, a bar. There's gonna be a cage for fighting, betting, good old fashioned fun. I'm looking for business partners. Spike and Kira, if you're still interested lemme know. Anyone else is welcome as well.

So what I said before - about not really wanting to get drunk?

I've changed my mind.

Anyone want to go get plastered? Because, I really, really needwant to.

[Private to Spike and Logan]

Remember that bar with the fight ring you guys were talking about?

You still game? Because I am - not for the fighting. But you know, I could run the bar or money or something...

[ooc: Hyperion folks, she will in all likelihood ignore you. She was just too upset/angsty when she made this post. Unless you know...you don't insult her for drinking, because she needs lovin' right now XD]

I miss Aaron. So much I almost want to die.

What do you guys do for fun around here? Asides from drinking.

I was so busy before I never really did anything fun.

[Filtered to Heather Mason, Sam Winchester, and Alessa]

Can't hold me.

Still guilty.


[filtered to those on the guilt list = Heather Mason, Sam Winchester, Niki Sanders, Tenal Kal, Psylocke, Davey Jones, Alessa, Claire Littleton, Angela Petrelli, and Willow Rosenberg]

Guilty. Every single one of you. Still guilty. Always guilty.



[OOC: Happens after the fight between PH and Niki]

Are you alright?

Is anyone hiring? I’m in desperate need of a job and a place to stay.

I was an office manager at Angel Investigations, and before that I worked in a fish and chips place. But I'm a fast learner.

I miss Aaron.

And Cordy.

And Angel.

And the hotel...

[ooc: This is after her "conversation" of sorts with Pyramid Head, and before her post to Spike. Claire is on a major guilt trip because of what she did to her mom, and is convinced that she doesn't deserve Aaron, and the tiny baby is much, much, much better off without her.]

I'm not coming back to the hotel. Thank you all for being so kind, but I can't am not coming back. Don't try to bring me back, or change my mind. It won't work. Force me back, and I swear, I'll do something...something that will make you regret doing that.

Monica, I want you to look after Aaron. He's better off with you than he is with me. He likes you, I can tell. When he gets older - tell him how sorry I am, for everything? He might not understand, but maybe it's better this wa

And no Peter, I'm not off doing anything stupid, like looking for demons or something like that. It's just...I'm not coming back.

I know we hardly know each other, but can we talk? I'll buy you a drink or like ten, if you want.

You're the only one I can really talk to right now.

Thanks to Jonnard, we have an address.

Elaine, please get in touch with Willow ASAP thanks.

Spike and Logan are en route. Jack is with Faith, they should also be en route.

Buffy, I can get me and you there in a flash. Literally.

Everyone else, stay on guard. I don't want everyone coming in at once, just in case Angelus is prepared for that. Future Hiro and Younger Hiro, I need you both on hand and ready to teleport in with reinforcements if things go bad. First will be Future Hiro with Lavender and Parker. Second, younger Hiro with Jared and May.

It's official. Good guys make the worst bosses.

[ooc: Backdated to after "plans" for Cordelia's rescue have been made]

First off, NO ONE, and I repeat, NO ONE is to go off looking for Angelus and Cordelia without clearance from me.

We're a team here. We depend on one another, and lately, the lines of communication have been slipping. Slipping badly enough that I barely know what's going on under this roof. I'll admit that I haven't been as open as I should have.

That ends now.

We need organization, and we need to be working together. I don't need to know every detail of your lives, but when something is going on, we need to be talking to one another.

Now. Willow, Dawn, and Davy Jones are out, looking for an Orb to get a soul back in a vampire. The spells and shields hiding Angelus are extremely strong. If anyone knows a way to get through them, or has an idea of how to work around them, speak up.

Logan and Nathan are in the lobby, preparing to head over to Cordelia's apartment and see if they can track them down physically. If you want to help, meet up with them. If/When they find a trail, they will contact me, and I will help them continue on, with reinforcements.

Now, the Hyperion is on lockdown until further notice. Security system is on yellow alert, and no one is to leave on their own after sunset. Even those who have previously been permitted to go out at night, I want you in pairs, at least.

I love it when a good plan comes together.

{OOC: This is backdated to right after Cordelia's abduction a few days ago.}

This is one hell of an antique.

Can anyone be so kind as to explain to me who or what is a Magneto?

Also... anyone from the year 2518 out there?

This is the single most bipolar city in the history of civilization.

Uh.

I was followed back to my hotel. And there was a girl. Hiding in my closet.

She said she wanted to spend the night with Superman.

And that was awkward. Since I found her after. Ah. Never mind.

I should have been dressed
This is really embaras
How did she even get in the roo
And I flew back, she couldn't have

Should I be concerned about this? Because she's just sitting on the bed. Staring at me.

I need to go get a lot some supplies from Staples, to start organizing the office.

Anyone want to come? It would make a tedious job a lot more fun, nothing like office supplies to brighten your day.

I'm definitely not supposed to be here.

The lady at the counter said someone on here could explain the 'weird crap' going on in Los Angeles, so any takers?

There is something seriously wrong with this place.

Hello!

Effective immediately, everyone involved in Angel Investigations will be required to learn at least basic self defense. There will be twice-weekly training sessions in the gym in Krav Maga, taught by myself. This is a very basic, extremely effective method of self defense.

You're only excused from the lessons with clearance from me.

Further training will be optional, and made available as soon as I get some instructors. If anyone wants to offer their services for this, let me know.

So, Los Angeles... didja miss me?

Alright, so the cat's outta the bag. I'm not British. Yeah, know you're all morbidly shocked. But I've found out why I in fact hate most people with accents. That's an unknown fact about me. But there it is, it's out deal with it. I don't care. But I've learned the reason. It's because most of them have slang and terms they use to insult you so it doesn't sound like you're being insulted.

Hmm come to think of it, no. I just don't like most Aussies and Brits. Spike you're an exception, well because you're pretty damned badass. I'm sure there's a few I've met along the way that I like, but for the most part no. Which brings me to this question, what the hell is a git? Is that even a term that should be used on a guy because it sounds extremely feminine.

Oh and just to make this known, Magneto can kiss my ass. I'm done.

Right, enough is enough.

I want one of you to teach me how to use some of those amazing weapons we have in the collection. I'm sick and tired of being so defenseless, and always needing other people to save me and my son.

So who is going to teach me?

I'm definitely considering going back to New York. I mean, at least there you can walk around at night without worrying about some demon taking your head off.

There's a pot of chai tea in the kitchen for anyone who needs it.

{Filtered to Angel Investigations}
Some of you already know this, but not all of you do, so let me just go ahead and say it so there's no room for confusion and everyone is on the same page.

Earlier tonight, Angel came back to town. Shortly after that, Darla managed to get ahold of him. Needless to say, it's a pretty safe bet that in the next few days Angelus is going to once again be roaming the streets.

Now for those of you who don't know who Angelus is - he's one hell of a sadistic, twisted vampire. Seriously. In a pretty major way. That being said, he may show up pretending to be Angel. Do not let him in. Don't fall for it. He's not Angel. He has no soul, and he tortures people for fun.

We're keeping the Hyperion on a pretty tight lockdown for the time being, obviously. Anyone leaving after the sun goes down is not to go alone. Period. And should you be out and spot Angelus, get back here as quickly as possible. Make sure Peter or I am aware of any time you might encounter him.

In the meantime, Willow is going to be working to get him back his soul. If she can manage it (which she most likely will), we'll have Angel back. Not the human version, but the souled, vampire one that some of you already knew to begin with. In the meantime, though, everyone please be careful and don't underestimate him. He's strong, he's smart, and he's got a sadistic streak a mile wide.

Gotta love it when people are open and honest with you. Except, you know, when they aren't.

{filtered to Angel Investigations}
If anyone needs anything, ask your Champion, since he seems to have all the answers. Because I? QUIT.

Good luck. Hope you manage to save the world, or whatever.

I'm moving back into my apartment. You can either get your crap and get the hell out, or move yourself into one of the spare rooms. Choice is yours, but either way, I'll be there within the hour.
{/filter}

Does anyone want to have a movie night, or something?

Okay, since it has now become quite obvious that not everyone here knows how to fight vampires and demons - or more importantly stop them and preferably kill them dead - we're going to do a little bit of training. Demonology 101, folks. Required by all, with the exception of a handful. (You know who you are.)

So here's how we're doing this. Since there are an insane number of Angel Investigation members now, we can't do it all at once. Therefore we're breaking up into smaller groups. They're going to be led by Willow, mostly, and anyone she sees fit to ask her to help out or whatever. The show-and-tell or whatever you want to call it is going to be held in the basement area of the hotel, starting tomorrow afternoon.

Now, all you need to do is reply to this so we can get a definite head-count, then we'll let you know what time to be there.

Thanks!
