There is nothing like the after-glow of a truly spectacular vengeance spell. After last night, I won't have to do another spell for weeks because everyone will be talking about this one. But, honestly, what would be the fun in that. I mean, really, I enjoy doing the spells, so why not do them? I really can't get over the look on that poor girl'

While the visit with my brother and his idiot amigos had been somewhat productive, I couldn't help but get out of there as soon as possible. If I had to stay at "geek central" staring at Babylon 5 memorabilia any longer, I'd probably have gone crazy.

So I took off, and not really wanting to go home, and now I find myself wandering around the cemetery. Perhaps the most unsafe place to be in this town.

But, I know my magicks, so I'm not real concerned, I can hold my own.

I wander about with my head down until I hear a noise up ahead. I glance up and see what appears to be a woman standing in the shadow of the cemetery.

Now, she might be a vampire or some other beasty, but I am still compelled to walk closer.

"Hello?" I call out.

My lips purse as I hear a male voice call out. He doesn't sound young enough to be an abandoned child, but, of course, I don't have to stick to the kids. I didn't last night and look how that turned out.

I turn and smile, "Oh, hello there. It's a bit late to be out for a walk, isn't it? I didn't expect to meet anyone."

He doesn't appear to be in dire need of vengeance, but people can be manipulated. I approach him hesitantly, trying to decide what angle to persue.

The closer I get to him, the more I get a sense of...not power really, but perhaps access to power, or at least a connection to power. Perhaps this will turn out not to be a victim, but an accomplice. That would be nice. After all, Anyanka is so spotty these days.

"Yes, well. I didn't expect to meet anyone either. Especially in the cemetery. I hear these graveyards aren't the most lively of places."

Bad joke, but I couldn't resist.

After a quick visual assessment, the woman seemed harmless enough, almost quirky in appearance. But then again, this is a graveyard. In Sunnydale. At night.

...so, I wasn't planning on letting my guard down, cause there was a good percentage chance that she wasn't human, and even if she was, I couldn't be certain if she was friend or foe.

Though I guess the same could be said for me these days.

"So, what brings you out here, Miss...?"

"Yes, well. I didn't expect to meet anyone either. Especially in the cemetery. I hear these graveyards aren't the most lively of places."

Oh dear. One of those, huh?

"Indeed."

"So, what brings you out here, Miss...?"

"Feel free to call me Hallie. I'm just... looking for my friend. She and I had a bit of a wild night last night." Oh dear, he'll probably take that the wrong way.

"What I mean is, we were sort of... causing a commotion, and I lost track of her, so I was hoping to find her and see if she's ok." And I was hoping to find some child who would wish that the next time their guardian wanted to hit them, their arm would turn into a wet noodle, but I don't think you're ready to hear that...yet.
