BtVS: Alternate Lives

Who: Neely, OT EVERYONE
Where: Avarice
When: Monday, January 10th

Neely had decided that it had been a while since she had been absolutely shit-faced (in retrospect, she probably hadn't been paralytic since her 21st birthday), which was why she had arranged a special night at Avarice tonight. Which meant that it was all kinds of occasions rolled into one. She had celebrities, musicians... and famous people who were famous for just being famous coming, as well as friends, employees and daughters from alternate universes.

Damn, if she didn't want to make a spectacle of things. ...Well, like anything less was expected of a Bale, hrmh?

With a grin, she made her way down from the apartment that she shared with Rachelle, dressed in the shortest white dress imaginable, looking almost virginal with her blonde hair curling over her shoulders as she made her way over to the bar and said to Kate: "Lemme get a head start before my wife gets here," with a wink.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

It was the first sound Candice Harrington heard when she awoke from her coma. From that weeks-long vacation in her own private hell. Nightmares she couldn't wake from. Visions she couldn't get out of her head, of herself attacking Faith. She'd been trapped in her own regrets, with no way out. When she finally burst from that dream world.... it was in a darkened room, with just that infuriating 'beep.... beep.... beep' ringing in her ears. It took her a few minutes to process what had happened.

The beeping... it was a machine hooked up to an IV, which was in her arm.  She'd been unconcious. Oh God... everything she'd been replaying in her head over and again had actually happened, and this was the consequence.

There was only one thing she could do now... she had to make her amends. If the Council wanted to jail her, hell, to kill her, she'd gladlt let them. But first, she needed to find a way to make amends with the people she'd hurt. She needed to hide.

With a little grunt, she yanked the IVs from her arm, and with ninja-like stealth, she gathered the strength she had, pushed past the soreness and fatigue, and snuck out of her room, down the hall, down the elevator.... and out the doors. Where she was going to go, she had no idea... but she knew she couldn't be here when the Council heard she was awake.

Who: All involved in the W&H battle
Where: The alley behind The Sugar Shack, then Salacia
When: Wednesday morning, just before dawn

This was it. The more Rupert Giles thought about it... the more he feared that Ash's joke was actually RIGHT. He felt like he was leading his troops to The Alamo. He'd arrived first, followed closely by Ash, who he had open the portal to Salacia. They were all about to go into battle against the forces of Wolfram & Hart. Now... as he watched everyone arriving... he knew it was time. Do or die.

"Well... are we all ready? As much as it pains me to say it... it's time. I want each one of you to look inside... and realize why you're doing this."

He looked around at the gathering troops.

"For some of us... it's revenge. For others, it's the desire to protect innocents. Regardless of your reason.. you need to focus on that. Because once we get there... it's going to get hectic, incredibly fast. We know we're going to be outnumbered... but how badly will depend on Ami's team and how quickly they can bring down the door separating the inter-dimensional bridge from the main arena."

"To all of you... thank you. And please... be safe."

And with that... Giles walked into the portal, knowing the others would soon follow.

Who: Catherine OT Slayer Types
Where: Chloe's Sugar Shack
When: Friday Afternoon

Since she had been made the leader of the battle, Catherine had done a lot of thinking. Was she really ready for something like this? Sure, she had been told both by her own Watcher and Mr. Giles that she was more than prepared to take on this role, but Catherine couldn't help but doubt just a bit if she was really up for this. Then again, she was sure that other battle leaders had felt the same as well. What she wanted to do now was to start showing a united front to all of the evil things out there that wanted to hurt them. If they looked like they were ready, it would help a hell of a lot toward getting ready.

Catherine knew that it had went through the grapevine about her being made leader. She wasn't sure what any of the other girls thought of that yet, though. Did some of them think that she would be a bad leader, or did any one of them think that they would make a better one? These were thoughts that she wanted to talk about with the other girls. Plus, they needed to start training together at least once a week soon. They needed to be able to be in sync with one another if they were really going to do this.

Who:Lilah,Candi & Lindsey
Where:Lilah's office Wolfram&Hart
When:Friday Morning

Lilah's assistant looked up from her computer, and paused in saying "Wolfram and Hart, Lilah Morgan's office please hold." She looked at the girl. "Can I help you?"
A thin, young girl stood in front of the secretary. Long, dirty blonde hair (that was now two-toned from starting to change back to its natural brown) hung slightly in her eyes, and her gaze met not the woman behind the desk, but the floor. She looked to all like the most harmless, unintimidating thing alive. Then... she spoke. Her voice had a sad, shameful ring to it, and was barely audible to anyone who wasn’t trying like hell to listen. "...I'm here to see Ms. Morgan. My name... is Candi Harrington."

The woman looked at her. "I'm sorry do you have an appointment?"

"No... But I do have a sort of standing invitation. If you ask her... I think she'll want to see me. Tell her... I'm here to accept her offer." Candi said the last part with an audible self-loathing in her voice.

"Sorry kid, but Ms. Morgan doesn't see anyone without an appointment, and she's in a meeting right now."

Sigh. See... this kind of situation right here? Is why Candi knew that she had to accept the offer Not only was she able to finally get the things she wanted in life... but things like what she was about to do? Were not looked upon with smiles and applause by the Watchers. She let out a long sigh, then reached over the desk, and with one smooth series of movements, grabbed the secretary by the hair, bounced her face off the desk like it was a basketball, then shoved her to the floor. "Sorry, babe. Didn't wanna have to do that." She then walked past the woman's desk, and pushed the doors to Lilah's office open.

Lilah was sitting in her office working on her computer, when her office doors opened. She looked up and sighed. "Please tell me you left my assistant intact?"

Before answering, Candi peeked sheepishly back out to the lobby. "Um. Yeah. She, um... she's a little bloody? And I think her nose is prolly broken. But other than that she'll be just dandy."

"Great... guess it's time for a new one. So I'm guessing you're here, because you've decided to take up my offer."

"I'm here... because I realized your offer is the only way I'm gonna get through life being who I really am, and not pretending to play nice for others." She didn't want to be evil, she really didn't.

"Alright then have a seat and we can talk." She gestured to the door for her to close it.

Closing the door without so much as a second thought about the welfare of the secretary, Candi shut the door, and sat down... on Lilah's desk.

"Chair please...” The only one she allowed to do that was Lindsey.

Sliding from the desk, she was standing again in one fluid motion. She wasn't ready to take orders from Lilah quite yet. So, for now? She'd stand. "So... talk."

Your job here would be simple, you just integrate yourself into the group of slayers and we'll give you the lifestyle you've always wanted in return."

"Shit... I'm already in with them." Candi sighed again, looking away. "The only real friend I have is one of them."

Lilah looked at her. "Well... did you ever consider that maybe they're not really your friend?" She asked.

Candi paused there... had Faith ever really given her reason to doubt her loyalty? "I... I don't know. She's never hurt me..."

"So it's just a matter of time." Lilah pointed out.

"Why don't... I mean... let me think about that part. I'll help you guys, and I won't say anything to Faith..." she sighed. "But I'm not gonna hurt her until I think I have a reason to."

Lilah shrugged. "Fine fair enough." She didn't see a problem with it.

"Alright. Because the others... I don't wanna hurt them, but if I have to I will. But Faith's been nothing but good to me."

"So then we have a deal?" Lilah asked her as she thought of someone who'd make a decent watcher.

"Fine." She didn't bother shaking Lilah's hand. She'd already sold her soul to the devil... no use making nice with the devil as well. "So, what... do I go all Sith Lord here? Do I have like, a Dark Watcher or some shit? Wear black robes, etcetera?"

"You'll get a new Watcher, but that's about it for now." Lilah explained.

"Yeah, whatever. Just let me know who to report to and I'll do it. Now, can I collect my thirty pieces of silver?" Sure, she felt like Judas... may as well act the part.

"Sure." Lilah said as she got up from her desk.

"Smartass." Candi muttered, watching her. "So when does this 'great new life' start?"

"First thing tomorrow morning if you want." Lilah explained to her, know it'd take at least the rest of the day to get her all set up.

"Alright then. Tomorrow morning, I wanna have a nice place set up, and some money in my account. If not, you can kiss my ass and I go to the Council with ALL this." The girl glared at Lilah, meaning every word.

"Alright it'll all be taken care of." Lilah informed her, then she went back to her desk.

Who:Lilah & Candi
Where:Giovanni's Pizza
When:Thursaday Night


Candi was, in a word, pissed. Her last watcher was barely cold, and they already sent some new, cocky young guy to replace her. Great. Shaking her head as she grumbled to herself, the girl stood in Giovanni's Pizza, her usual hangout, and kicked the video game machine she was playing, walking towards the counter for water. It was free, after all.

Lilah had done her homework, before coming to this sad excuse for a pizza joint. The girl she was looking for was luckily for Lilah in just the right mind state that she could be swayed over to Wolfram and Hart's side. Lilah parked her car and walked into the pizza place, trying not to have to really touch anything.

Candi sighed, chugging down the paper cup of water, reaching behind her to tie her hair into a ponytail. She wore tight navy blue jeans, black combat boots, and a midriff-baring, slightly faded Mega death shirt.

Lilah took a quick second look at the file she'd brought with her, and noted that she was in the right place. She had come from the office, so she was still wearing her black Chanel pencil skirt, emerald green silk blouse, and black Jimmy Choo stiletto pumps. She walked over to where Candi was standing.

The teen looked Lilah over, and gave a wry smirk. "Damn, lady, are YOU in the wrong place. Aint no pizza good enough to risk your prissy little ass coming here dressed like that."

"I'm not here for the food or hell even the atmosphere; I'm here to see you actually." Lilah had had a long day and wasn't in the mood to really dance around the issue of why she was here.

"Me. Right." She looked around, sighing. "The things you heard about this place are true, babe... but I ain't holding. I stopped dealing about a year ago."

Lilah laughed. "Not here for that either Candi” she said.


"Alright, then what do you want? If it involves getting naked, consider the answer yes." She said with a little wink.

Lilah smiled. "I'm flattered, but no it's more of a. job opportunity."

"Oh. Great." She sighed, not wanting to say too much in public. "If you're here from the 'Council' again, I already said I'd work with that fuckin' guy that found me yesterday. So kinda back off."

"Oh I'm not from the Watcher's Council." She smiled.

"Ok, then what's the deal? And it better be good, cuz I'm about ten seconds from going back to the Mortal Kombat machine and using Baraka to cut a bitch." Candi said with a nonchalant huff.

"Well we've heard that you've been feeling a bit alone and angry at life in general and we think we can help." She handed Candi her card.

"Wolfram & H..." she cut herself off.”You gotta be fucking kidding me. Don't we like beat you assholes up for fun?"

Lilah shrugged, "Just figured we'd offer you an alternative to the 'all mighty' Watcher's Council." She smiled.

"And what alternative is that? What could you possibly offer me, that you think I'd go all Dark Side?" She asked, crossing her arms, even while a part of her knew that just months ago, she wouldn't have let the conversation get THIS far.

"A better life than what you've got now as a start."

"Details." Candi said.


"No lame Watcher to deal with, a better place to live... do I really need to keep going?" Lilah asked as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Yeah. Because I know with you people nothing comes without a price. What is it you expect of me?" But clearly, her eyes betrayed her... and she was considering it.

"Nothing for the time being." Lilah answered her.

"I'm not bad... I'm not." She said, although it sounded more like she was saying it to herself than to Lilah. "I'm just so tired of living like this... I just want what I deserve."

"And you'll get what you deserve." Lilah stated.

Candi stuffed the card in the back pocket of her jeans. "....I need to think. And until I make a decision? I think you should leave. You don't wanna be here if I decide NOT to come with you."

Lilah shrugged. "Alright have it your way, my cell number's on the back." She started to leave.

Candi watched her go, wondering just how willing she was, to sell herself to the devil.

Lilah got in her car and just sat waiting a few moments, just in case the girl changed her mind.
