I'm going to do something stupid.

I'm going to talk to Spike.

He never does anything unless he benefits from it, so, of course, I'm taking money. And a liberal amount of blood, requisitioned from the blood bank. I'm not above bribery.

If the Mayor is all the Big Bad that Buffy says he is, then every pair of hands will help. Plus, we all have ( Read more... )

I hate surveillance work. If I haven't mentioned it recently, there you go.

Hate.

I'd rather be hip-deep in the work, righting wrongs, tossing bad guys out windows. Especially when the bad guy in question is one that threatened to, quote, "eat" my girlfriend.

I know I'm tired. There's a joke hanging there, and I can't even reach out and take ( Read more... )

It's official.

I'm a crappy boyfriend.

Well, I don't know if I'd say that I'm a crappy boyfriend, exactly. But when work bogs you down so much that it's hard to just schedule dates, and keep that schedule of dates, then that doesn't exactly make you a candidate for boyfriend of the year.

Sure does keep you from pursuing the occasional thought ( Read more... )

She made it home.

I can't express how happy I am. To see her again, safe, and sound, and home...

There's more to do, yet. Cordelia, Mr. Windham-Pryce, Mr. Giles...

...those two vampires, too.Tara thinks that she can lock on to the others that were lost by using a "peice" of them, kind of like she used Dawn's blood. I'm going to Los Angeles ( Read more... )

Things are far too strained lately.

I've caught myself on the verge of giving up hope too many times for my comfort.

Buffy...I have to face facts. She's been lost for so long that she may not be coming home. It's not something I want to deal with, but there comes a time when you just have to deal ( Read more... )

I'm well aware that I've been driving Tara, Fred and everyone else around here half-crazy while I've been recovering from the beating I took at the hands of that vampire woman.

I know I'm not a very good patient. I've grown to accept that. It's a flaw.

Thank God that Spike hasn't been around, getting underfoot and on my nerves. It could only ( Read more... )

Frustrating doesn't begin to cover things lately.

Tara's trying, but there's only so much she can do, she says. Without more information to go on, there's any number of rituals or artifacts that could've teleported Buffy and everyone else away to God knows where.

And why, oh why, did they not take SpikeBecause God has some personal grudge ( Read more... )

( Stone report )

Stun-gun, check.

Stakes, and spares, check.

Wonder if Anya knows how to use a pistol. Couldn't hurt to bring an extra, and tell her to aim for the heads. It'll take a little while to prep a clip of anti-vamp bullets, injecting holy water into the hollow-point heads...but it's worth it, in case she decides to come along for the ride.

Hold on, ( Read more... )

There are times when my faith in the system is shaken to it's core.

Mostly, every time I have to deal with the Sunnydale police force.

There are moments when I really miss Professor Walsh. These people who stonewall me, and complain under their breath when I flash my governmental clearance and identification wouldn't be pulling this crap with ( Read more... )
