{backdated to shortly after Kathy's rescue thread}
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.
