PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

It finally happened.

Just a few more days. Should be a party.

I talked to the girl, she really didn't want to listen.

Edit: Scratch that. I've really got to stop trying the 'nice approach' first. It never works.

That was different.

Back now.

So we died. It was interesting. Now we're back. Anyone want to get a drink?

I think it's time we really start fighting back.

I know you've all been putting in your best effort here. I really do. But we're losing people. We all need to put our heads together and think of something because if we don't this world will end.

Alrighty. Now I'm usually the last person in the world to go all out with the motivational speeches here (I am so beating you to the punch, Buff), but I'm kinda sick and the only thing I can get on TV is Judge Judy (and while she's entertaining, I can only stand her voice for so long), so I'm laying here, in bed, typing up this little speech for all of you people out there who are having a hard time accepting that, yes, we're definitely in the middle of what appears to be a very chaotic apocalypse. So read it and appreciate it, people, because Alexander Lavelle Harris does not go out of his way to get all speechy for just anyone.

We lost someone the other day. She wasn't my best friend in the entire world, but she was someone that I had a certain level of respect for. She died doing what she did best. Fighting. Protecting you. All of you, because she knew that it was the right thing to do. It has nothing to do with destiny or competition or anything else. She died for you. Faith is gone because she wanted to see a better world out there. And I think that's something that we all need to acknowledge and respect.

I know that a lot of you are hurting and scared and all of that other stuff. But if there's someone out there willing to die for you, then don't you think that there should be some level of hope that we hadn't seen before? I mean, yeah. Faith died. That doesn't exactly scream "oh well we've got the upper hand now" because obviously we don't. But I knew Faith. And if she thought that by going out there and doing what she did best was going to make a difference, then it obviously did. There are a lot of people out there working on this. People that I know, people that I trust, and people that I care about. I have every single bit of faith in them and I'm not worried. They're gonna save us, guys. It's what they do.

So sit back. Hang in there. Give or take, this thing'll blow over in good time.

...I may sound a little delusional right now. But you'll have to let it slide on account of me being all sick and stuff.

Alright. Clearly, things are bad right now. Bad being an understatement. And most of you know that I'm more likely to gnaw off my own arm than actually admit I was once a proud member of your little group from back home.

However. Faith is gone. Others are dying as we speak. Granted most of us are a part of Angel Investigations, but let's face it. It just isn't the same as it once was. Us, those of us reading this post, we're the ones who stop the end of the world. It's what we do. It's what we all chose to do - Buffy aside, of course - and it's something we're damn good at doing.

With that being said... I'm calling a Scooby meeting. Xander, I know you were on Heidi's sick list. If you can't make it, we're bringing it to you. Otherwise, I say we do this like old times and meet up in the library. Not the one on the second floor of the Hyperion, but the one on the third. Yes, the floor is technically closed off, but nobody will bug us there. And hey, I own the building, so it's not like anyone can object.

So that's it. If anyone else wants to join me, I'm going to be there, at three o'clock this afternoon. It's time we figured this problem out and, even if we can't manage that for some reason, at least give us all a second to re-group and figure out how to deal.

Also - for anyone who isn't in the Hyperion and is a part of this filter - just let me know and I'll get you clearance. No one else even needs to know you're in the building. If you want to be there for the meeting, of course.

Faith. She... Something happened. Something went wrong. Sam killed her. She's d gone.

Fenrir Greyback.

Know him?

Veruca Mark II?

So, it's the full moon soon.

Interesting.

Hope the Tibet lessons still work.

Otherwise going to need a cage. Should look into that.

I'm curious, anyone else feeling the monthly urge to bark and eat a lot of raw meat?

Willow Rosenberg is amazing and wonderful and one of my favorite people in the whole world!
