War Is Coming Communications.

I need a fucking drink.

So, anyone else feeling useless?  Thing is, I kinda felt that way before.  Just waiting for people to come back from a fight, hoping they weren't too banged up, doing the first aid thing.  Now, here, it's even worse.  I mean, I can't help with first aid, you guys have real doctors for that.  I'm no help in the fighting and people are getting hurt!  I'm not getting any visions so I can't even warn people!  This is just one situation where being arm candy is so not enough.

Someone give me something to do!  Something useful that stops people from getting hurt!  I'll even take some brain seizure inducing visions over this!

So, curiosity got the best of me, what the hell do you people do when there's nothing to kill?

I mean hunting and all, sure I can get behind that once I know a little more, but outside of that?

[Cordelia]

How're you settling in Chase?

[Spike]

Take any heed to what I said?

[Connor Temple and Sam Winchester]

Names Lindsey McDonald, I'm still settling into the place but I was told you guys were the go to for y'know, existing and making it so I can practice law here. What do you need from me to make that happen.

Haven't done this in a while and I don't need Bobby glaring at me! Cause Bobby's glares are lethal.

HELLO new people! I'm Rose Tyler, welcome to Lawrence. You've gotten yourselves a one way ticket to the Apocalypse, congratulations! Now to make the transition at least a bit easier, I offer a little class I like to call...well, Welcome to Lawrence! We'll go over all the basics you need to learn to live in and survive in and hopefully eventually even learn to accept Lawrence. We'll go over basic demon and creature protection and you'll find out how to attend the classes offered to teach further protection and fighting. You'll learn the basic layout of the city and which places are more displaced friendly than others. We'll talk about how to go about getting money and work here and I'm willing to work with you on a case by case basis, too.

Basically, if it involves being dragged here, we'll go over it, at least briefly, more in depth if we need to. We'll meet this coming Thursday at 8pm at the Lawrence Youth Center. [Directions here!]

Any questions, just let me know!

I hear that there are a lot of other people who practice magic here? And not “practice magic” like the Wiccan group back at college did with their bake sales and group meetings about...bake sales.

Can I do a roll call? Is that allowed? I’ll go first.

I’m Willow and I’m learning magic and would really like to learn more. I can do levitation spells, restore souls back to vampires, and currently am working on transmogrifications spells.

Next?

So, you really have no idea who I am, do you?

Just trying to place where everyone's from.

So, lemme get this straight. Lucifer, Apocalypse, trapped, some kind of sentient seal thing over Lucifer's cage in hell decided I was useful to the fight and pulled me out of LA to do it.

Not the strangest thing I've ever heard, which is probably kind of depressing. But then my world has demonic overlords and Hellmouths so...

That said for as long as I'm here, might as well make myself useful. Anything for a lawyer to do round here.Names Lindsey McDonald and believe me, I have the experience.  I don't have any papers or anything obviously but people here can vouch for my credentials. Not y'know, pleasantly, or anything, but they can

You keeping out of trouble?

Right so it's bad enough that I totally just lost my favorite pair of boots, and missed an audition this morning thanks to some rotten egg smelling demon mess, but now, I seem to have lost my apartment.  My wonderful rent controlled apartment.  Which, has some awesome features by the way, not the least of which is my very own ghost bed!  So while I appreciate the kidnapping and impending sacrifice and or demon spawning going on here, someone needs to just point me the way home. 

Also, replace my jacket which totally got destroyed on the way here.

....'the hell?

Lorne? ...Eurotrash is this some kind of trick?

So, all right...I've done next to no research on this, let me preface it that way. In other words, if I sound like a fucking retard or an insensitive douche, I apologize.

That said...I have a friend with some concerns about vampires that seem to have spilled over so they're now sorta my concerns. Seeing as how we all apparently come from different worlds or universes or whatthefuckever, I'm curious.

If there's good vampires roaming around here, what makes them good, who are they, and why should we trust them not to make a feast out of us? How do we tell them apart from potentially bad ones and...how does one protect one's self from those less than friendly fanged folks, exactly?

For example, it's true in my friend's world that if you don't invite them in, they can't waltz into your place and fuck you up. Is that a truth across the board or is that a rule that varies depending on where the vampire came from?

Inquiring minds want to know. Fill a dude in, guys.

Ugh. Is this nightmare ever going to end?

I've had three visions today and my head
It feels like someone's pouring hot lava in my skull
These visions are getting wor--

Well, as far as alternate dimensions go, this one's a cakewalke compared to the last. Except I'm alive I was told I could find answers on here?

...where the bloody hell am I? What am I doing here?

This is all I need right now.

[Edit: After Dawn told him to, he started filtering things away from evil, Moriarty, and Katherine.]

Kidnapping, huh? Okay then. I'm sorta used to the idea of appearing in random places suddenly. Well, after all I'd seen, it's not much of a shock. Might want to send me back, though. Before I kick some a Not a suggestion. I'm only asking nicely just this once. See, I have a couple classes in Stanford tomorrow. Speaking of, I just checked my grade records on their site. I think they made a mistake and deleted my account and profile stats from the registry.

Dad? Spike, Gunn? Blue? Lorne? Did any of you all get stuck here with me also? This is really crazy. And I know crazy, or used to anyway More than the usual crazy that we deal with, and given our type of work, that's really saying something.

Fred's gone.

Can I get a rain check on the drink? Dawn needs me tonight. Tomorrow night, if that works?

..Are you kidding me right now? Really? Three times is not a charm. Haven't I had enough bad luck lately? The seal is just a bully now. Like a huge mean kid with a stick that smacks others when they're down.

Okay so people really weren't kidding about the whole 'one way trip' thing.

This complex place, do people just move in?

Okaaaay. So I don't remember opening any mystical portals, or even walking through one recently. What is going on?

Goddammit I have things to do. I do not have time to get dragged to...where the hell even am I?

It’s not the Partners, they can’t find me, I made damn sure of that
