PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

So, I have been thinkin' quite a bit lately. And I fucked up, like really fucked up. Bought us a house and all, but somehow that doesn't quite say the message I'm wantin' ta get across here. Question is, how do I go about proposin' to a vampire that's more than a few centuries old. Not that she looks a day over twenty-three. Yes, I'm a dirty old man, deal with it. Anyways, back on track.

She's a bit old fashioned, from a time where guys did these big grand gestures and shit. Can't very well just shove a ring in her hand and say hey, we're gettin' hitched, go get you a dress. I can't believe I'm gonna suggest this particular person but Spike, you maybe got some ideas here? Anyone else that has a suggestion, little help would be appreciated here. Oh, another thing.. who wants ta go ring shoppin' with me?

Drinks on me. {address} Got something for ya.


To make things easier.

[filtered to Seth] Selene's worried about you, I'd like to know who. Oh and by the way, she's dead.

I have a problem. Seems a lot of us do. Friends and loved ones seem ta be droppin' like flies around here. My girl among them. She left me a note though. Something about Scales and a Horse. She's been acting weird lately, constantly hungry, hell starving after gorging herself like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet. Said something about a Dr. Raven Sable. If anyone knows anything, please tell me.

[Filtered to Sable] I don't know who in the hell you are, don't really care either. But you better hope to whatever being it is you worship that I don't find you.

Not that I expect anyone to really be interested anymore since I've committed some big ass sin. and been voted off the island. But thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

I'm going to open up my own business, a bar. There's gonna be a cage for fighting, betting, good old fashioned fun. I'm looking for business partners. Spike and Kira, if you're still interested lemme know. Anyone else is welcome as well.

Alright, so I need to meet someone who knows shit about this Drake guy. Whether it be over booze or coffee.

Fuck.

We need to talk.

You are all lost.

I've found a place to stay, not really going to tell anyone where it's at. Not the best of company to be around right now, need to be alone for a while. Not sure how long right now, so don't bother asking. More importantly do NOT come looking for me. No one. If I wanna see you, I know how to find each and every one of you. But as of now, leave me alone.

Unless you happen to be over seven feet tall and smell like roadkill. You know who you are. You. Can find me. And I half hope you do.

It's official. Good guys make the worst bosses.

[ooc: Backdated to after "plans" for Cordelia's rescue have been made]

First off, NO ONE, and I repeat, NO ONE is to go off looking for Angelus and Cordelia without clearance from me.

We're a team here. We depend on one another, and lately, the lines of communication have been slipping. Slipping badly enough that I barely know what's going on under this roof. I'll admit that I haven't been as open as I should have.

That ends now.

We need organization, and we need to be working together. I don't need to know every detail of your lives, but when something is going on, we need to be talking to one another.

Now. Willow, Dawn, and Davy Jones are out, looking for an Orb to get a soul back in a vampire. The spells and shields hiding Angelus are extremely strong. If anyone knows a way to get through them, or has an idea of how to work around them, speak up.

Logan and Nathan are in the lobby, preparing to head over to Cordelia's apartment and see if they can track them down physically. If you want to help, meet up with them. If/When they find a trail, they will contact me, and I will help them continue on, with reinforcements.

Now, the Hyperion is on lockdown until further notice. Security system is on yellow alert, and no one is to leave on their own after sunset. Even those who have previously been permitted to go out at night, I want you in pairs, at least.

I understand there's been a note left for me. I've heard about it, but have yet to see it.

Listen to me you seven foot, smelly bastard. You wanna stop bein' a coward now and dial direct? I'm waiting and it's been a while since I've had a helluva fight. Just pop a few tic tac or something first.

So... let's hypothetically say someone, I don't know put a knife through a computer screen when irritated.. is there any help for that? I need a geek's help. Where's my fan club at?

So, Los Angeles... didja miss me?

Alright, so the cat's outta the bag. I'm not British. Yeah, know you're all morbidly shocked. But I've found out why I in fact hate most people with accents. That's an unknown fact about me. But there it is, it's out deal with it. I don't care. But I've learned the reason. It's because most of them have slang and terms they use to insult you so it doesn't sound like you're being insulted.

Hmm come to think of it, no. I just don't like most Aussies and Brits. Spike you're an exception, well because you're pretty damned badass. I'm sure there's a few I've met along the way that I like, but for the most part no. Which brings me to this question, what the hell is a git? Is that even a term that should be used on a guy because it sounds extremely feminine.

Oh and just to make this known, Magneto can kiss my ass. I'm done.

By show of hands, who here is a geek. Don't be shy, step up to the plate.

You know, Battleship has got to be the lamest board game ever invented. Ever. Candyland totally puts it to shame.

I am so over you.

And that dress that you wore the other night? It totally didn't make you look slutty at all.

[Filtered to Logan]
If you hurt her, I'll rip off your sideburns.

Which will also be painful for me. Because I kind of worship you.

[Filtered to Rogue]
Thanks.

Is there a Demonology for Dummies? Not an actual book but something for a newbie to this supernatural to catch up on? Probably a stupid question but since I can't help talking back to creatures three times my age, better safe then sorry.

Who is Drake?

[/filter]

Hey guys, so I see Buffy's back, which is great.

So, yeah, I mean, thank you for the offer of the room and all (I mean, really, thank you) but you guys got the real Slayer with you now, so you don't need me crowding up the joint as well. I was thinking I'd hit some of the seedy.... wait, the seedier parts of town, see what Intell I can beat outta people about Darla. I'll let you know the second I find out anything.

You guys need me, just holler, I'll be there.

I'd like to confess... That I have nothing to confess. There, I feel loads better.

Well except for one thing. Mystique has a nice ass, like really nice. The kind you can bounce a quarter off of. You just wanna smack it. There, I'm done.

But if anyone has anything they'd like to confess to me, I'll be here, with beer.
