Fireworks on the Hudson tomorrow, who's in?
Since I've gone an upped the amount of free time I have on my hands, you up for a game some time?
You don't write, you don't call. I'm starting to feel a bit hurt, man.
I'm back, by the way. In case anyone missed me. What'd I miss here?
I don't know about you, but I could really go for a drink.
Pack a bag everyone. We've got a job up in the Himalayas. We're off to SHIELD's base in India to start with, to interview our witness, then up to Tibet to check the scene. So pack your hot weather clothes and your winter woolies. I'm not sure how long we'll be away. We've got a long flight so I'll save the briefing for the plane.
My team and I have been called off on a job. I'm not sure how long we'll be gone but it might be a week or so. It sounds like a hell of a case.
If you've volunteered and you consider yourself a strong fighter, I've put you in for patrols. This is the schedule as it is currently.
At the moment I've scheduled almost everyone for about three nights. I've tried to keep a pretty even number of people patrolling every night. You are free to patrol any night that you are not scheduled and I know some of you may - but this way we'll know the city has coverage every night and can arrange locations.
I've left myself, Buffy, and Sam unscheduled specifically so that we have people to call if you can't make a night.
If you are not scheduled and you'd like to be, let me know. If you are scheduled and you don't want to be, let me know. Basically if this doesn't work for you I need to know that.
If anyone needs a crash course in training or would like to do individual training - talk to me and we'll make it happen.
You'd think anyone who was familiar with vampire pop culture would recognize that I'm not a vampire.
If either of you want specific nights in there, let me know, but I figured that Buffy you're already going out. I'm already going out on occasion and Sam has nights at Sam's - and we do need people to be able to step in and cover. And I thought the three of us might be best suited to do that.
Busy?
Have you guys looked outside today?
'Cause it's not good. Angel, you might wanna avoid that large mob right outside the tower for the next, well, forever. Just sayin'
Are you avoiding me?It seems you've been busy this week.
I'm not certain if you're legal, but there's a group of us that work together when supernatural incidents come up, which they do, from time to time - plus we've got some clean-up of vampires from our world that we need to coordinate. Are you in?
Those of you who have volunteered to help with fighting, I'd like for us to coordinate specific patrols for the city. If you're interested in being part of this please comment below - let me know what nights you're NOT available - and I'll put together some schedules.
We still have a number of vampires from our world that are out there in the city and the sooner we get them cleaned up, the less likely it is we'll get more of them.
I don't know about any of you, but once this is all over I'm calling drinks.
All right guys, talk to me. What have we tried? What do we know about what hasn't worked? I can put research on trying to figure these pieces out, but it would be nice to be able to give some direction.
Angelus still held tight? Caroline has offered to be extra guard duty and I'm thinking perhaps we ought to put her and Faith, and maybe Jeremy - I know he's got extra strength as well - on a rotation to help you out. I know the place is warded, security camera'd, & that you and Veronica will be out there but I'd hate to see something sneak past us.
I don't know if I said it in the scuffle the other night, but thank you. How is Buffy fairing?
Angelus is contained. We're working on returning his soul. I could desperately use a drink - what do you have in the cupboard?
There are still a number of vampires in the city - I think more than we may have been aware of initially and for those of you who are willing to help with fighting we will likely be doing some of that in the next few months.
in the meantime thank you for what you've been able to help with & your willingness to jump in when called.
If you're willing to continue to assist us with research let me know and I'll likely be calling on you in the next 24.
» Hey
» You busy later?
It looks as if we have an opportunity to possibly bring Angelus in. We're putting together a small group including those of us who know him best and hopefully will be best able to subdue him.
Currently, Buffy and myself are certainly going to be there. Gunn, Faith, and Caroline - you've all had experience fighting Angelus, or vampires from our universe. We'd like to have you join us as back-up.
Willow and Dawn, you two will be our communication should we need back-up or require any additional people to come in.
Currently we're looking at 11pm; Strawberry Fields, in Central Park. Angelus is planning to meet Dorian Gray, and we're going to be tagging along.
I don't think it needs to be said, but we're trying to capture, not kill.
Are you available? And any questions?
If you are available tonight please let me know. We have a situation that will likely be nothing, but I'd like to have additional fighters in the vicinity of Park Slope should you be needed.
So, were you actually gonna tell me?
» Are you finding all the paperwork as fun as I am?
So, how was your week? Mine wasn't anything special. But I'll tell you one thing, I'm definitely not down for a bunch of gunfire on anything that's thousands of miles in the air. All it leads to is a slow ass week of imprisonment and more gunfire.
I'm reinstating the OPs budget to 30%. Enjoy.
Things just got hectic at work, we'll have to postpone that rendezvous
All cleared personnel check in and report to the helicarrier launch pad by 2230. This is a code zero six, no transfers to be recorded.
Is it too crowded at the cabin, or do you mind if I come out for a few days?
The Tesseract must have determined that I was living my life too slowly and I needed to have some additional memories in my head so I've gained a couple of years it seems.
On a different note, Angel knows this, but I've been slowly keeping an eye on news clippings and stories to see if there's anything that resembles problem areas in terms of vampires or other supernaturals. Thus far I've not found anything that's setting a spider sense tingling, but I'm considering actually doing some networking and setting up some networks like what I had in LA in our own reality - sometimes the news stories are not as helpful as they could be.
Xander - I know you've done some work with the Slayers at home, have you done anything like that here?
I'll be out for the next couple of days so that no one thinks I've been Tesseracted back to LAto die.
