BtVS: Alternate Lives

Who: Patience OT CJ (and Danny)
Where: Avarice
When: Saturday night (November 14)

She probably would have been a really awful person if she didn't have some sympathy for the people involved with what was going on right now. No matter what way you looked at it, Ben was Pat's friend and Patience could respect that. She didn't have to respect Ben, but she could respect the bonds of friendship between the men. It wasn't even that she hated Ben. She was just…really, really angry at him for helping to hurt her best friend. Had she ever thought about killing him? Maybe. Once or twice. And Skylar too. But Patience wasn't stupid. If she wanted to hurt Skylar, she was going to have to go through different channels besides simple brute force. Unfortunately, the bitch had that all over her.

But that wasn't even really what she was thinking about right now. She'd shown up to work at Avarice because she wasn't sure what state the club would be in. She knew Ben's brother and sister had taken over management, but the place still had a lot to do with Ben. The people knew Ben. Before he'd decided to devote his time to his titty bar, there was barely a night you wouldn't have seen him prowling the place for something young and tight.

So she could at least help out by actually showing up for work, right?

"Hey, CJ!" she called down the length of the bar as she poured a drink for the guy across from her. Sliding it to him with a smile, she leaned forward, the strategically shredded silk of her blouse giving him a clear shot down her top as she plucked the tip from his fingers and blew him a kiss. "We get in a new shipment of Hennessy? I'm almost out and I didn't see another on the shelf."

Who: Dr. Elizabeth Todd, open to all members of her "secret" team
Where: LAGH
When: Backdated to Saturday night

Talk about sheer, unadulterated CHAOS.

Wesley had called Elizabeth, in what (for Wesley, at least) amounted to a panic, saying that a very important, very public figure in both the regular AND supernatural community had been severely wounded, and needed her help. Quickly, Liz grabbed Carly McDonald, the one person she knew that had real experience treating supernatural beings (and the one who would be teaching the rest of them), and sent her to the scene for damage control. In the meantime, while she waited for Carly to get back with Ben in the ambulance, she ran to gather her team.

A few of them, like Jacob and Claudia, had already had a good idea what they were getting into. The others, like Danny, had more or less been told that something major, and top secret, was going on... and that if they wanted in on something huge, they had to trust her, be open-minded, and say NOTHING.

And now? As Carly swiftly rushed the gurney which Ben's unconcious form layed upon into the OR that Liz had reserved, Dr. Todd looked at the team that had managed to come together in here.

"Alright, people, I only have time to say this ONCE, and until this is over, you'll have to take everything I say as gospel. The moment our patient is out of danger, I will answer any questions: This is Benjamin Kenneth Bale. Most of you know him as a highly public owner of two local clubs, and a music promoter. He is also a lycanthrope, a human being who can, at will, change his form to that of a wolf, and a half-man, half-wolf beast. As you can see, victim is suffering from a GSW to the back, as well as having fifteen silver spikes stabbed into various organs of his body."

She began removing Ben's clothing as she spoke, to inspect the wounds. 

"Looks to be possibly severe damage to the lungs, kidneys,  liver, gallbladder, and the tendons in his biceps & thighs. Luckily, his heart was totally missed. Dr. McDonald has already treated him a salve that will restart his rengererative system, which in lycanthropes is approximately fifteen to twenty times that of a normal human."

As Liz addressed the team, Carly began applying several types of medication that, frankly, not ONE of them had ever seen nor heard of, while Liz began helping apply pressure to the wounds.

"You are all here to observe. Because we need you. People like Mr. Bale here need to recieve care as well, as do people like us that are victims of supernatural attacks. Dr. McDonald is working on getting us government clearance to do this as well, so that we won't have to work as some secret society. But I trust each one of you with this. And we need to be a team here."

Who: Liz, OT any
Where: LAGH Nurse's Station
When: Tuesday afternoon


Dr. Elizabeth Todd felt not unlike her legs were going to fall off of her body. From the morning on, it had been one horrible emergency after another. Other than one victim who was suffering from what they were calling 'rabid animal attack', nothing even seemed too out of the ordinary. Just.... hectic.

As the blonde doctor pulled her hair back into a tight ponytail, adjusting her coat a bit, she took a long, tired breath, reaching behind the desk for the small bottle of water she'd purchased on her last break.

Days like this? Anything felt possible. And that wasnt necessarily a good thing.

Who: Danny Baker & CJ
Where: Avarice then Danny's apartment
When: Friday night, Oct. 23rd.

( Like Finding A Better Date )

Who: Daniel Baker OT: Anyone
Where: LAGH & then Joe's Diner
When: Thursday, early evening (Oct. 22)

Even on his days off, Daniel ended up at the hospital. The nurse took a couple hours out of his day (when he wasn't on shift) to play the cello for the kids in the cancer ward and let those who were strong enough try their hand at the instrument. Wrapping up for the evening, Daniel and other nurses and staff were helping the kids back into their beds. Putting the instrument away, Danny said his farewells to the kids, and snapped the latches closed on the case, hefting the instrument down the hall to the nurses station where he could check his schedule.

It looked like he had one more day off (unless someone called him in, which would probably be the case). Good thing, too, he could catch up on more sleep! Saying goodnight to the rest of his co-workers before heading out, lugging the cello down to Joe's Diner for a late dinner.

Who: Liz, open to all doctors/nurses
Where: LAGH cafeteria
When: Saturday night

For the first time in weeks, Elizabeth Todd felt like she had real focus. She had at least one person on her side going into this new experiment, and she knew Bronte's friend was going to be transferring, and was interested in helping. It was a good start... now she just had to start working on others. Feeling them out, seeing who were viable candidates.

Luckily, she knew she had Wesley's support, which meant the world to her. And now that Alice was on her side, with the respect and pull SHE had around the hospital... maybe this actually had a chance.

Sitting down at an empty table near the front of the cafeteria, Liz took a relaxing breath, and set her lunch tray down to eat. She'd been working so hard today... suddenly bland meat loaf, cardboard that they called mashed potatoes, and mushy carrots managed to look DIVINE.
