I've been feeling down ever since staking London. I honestly think she meant well, killing all those people, plus she saved Cordy. She just seemed so small and sad and just hugged her doll. Didn't put up a fight about it, if she even really knew what I was going to do. And then there was that weird flash of light when I staked her...could she ( Read more... )

Fine, so I'll admit it - I've been putting it off - you happy now? So, I don't want to admit that we're stuck here, I don't want to admit that I'm a complete failure - unfortunately that seems to be one of the side effects of the fact that I'm only human.

Never has that phrase rankled quite as much as it does right now.

Well, I guess I can't put it off any longer and some sense of loyalty has brought me back here. Of course, they'll say it's all my fault, but what can I do? I still have the Orb, just in case they don't believe me, but I expect the worst.

THe only good I can see in this is that Cordelia has obviously actually gone insane and refuses to leave - not that that makes things any better for myself and Buffy (even though she's not acting to rationally lately either).

I see Anya looking around the common area. Thank god, maybe now we can figure out a way to get Cordy out of here without arousing too much suspicion. I head toward her, hoping she's got good news about the orb. I'm more than ready to be out of the nuthouse and out of this godawful century, too.

I head with Buffy up to Anya. "Anya! Lovely to see you. So everything's finished...I'd like to go home now. Buffy's ready. You ready?" I ask, wanting to get as far away from this place as humanly possible. Another time will do. Our time will do.

As we approach Anya, I notice she's not looking quite as high and mighty as she had before...on the other hand, who was I to talk? I hadn't had a decent bath in a couple of weeks and the dress I had on when I stowed away was pretty darn rank by now.

I hang back a little; I'm not actually supposed to be here, after all.

I had a comment for Anya. I really did. And I'd have said it, if I wasn't so hot to get the hell out of here. "Right, can we go now?" I ask. I glance to Buffy, then go to walk past her, whispering in her ear. "Meet us at the London bridge." I say for her ears only. So it's the only real place in London I know is there, and know can be pretty easily found. What am I, a walking travel guide?

I take my 'sister' by the arm and lead her off through the crowd. "We were attracting attention and that's not a good thing round here, okay?" I said in explanation. "you must have known that Buffy couldn't leave with us. She hardly looks like a visitor anymore and I can't get her out officially like I can you, so there was no other choice - if she's going to be able to sneak out, the last thing she needs is for the staff to know what she looks like."

Am I the only person this makes sense to? Though Buffy seemed to understand it okay.

I give Anya a look. "Yeah, caught that. Am I complaining? I was just telling her where to meet us. 'By that pub' would be a little vague, now wouldn't it? Unless you had some brilliant way to work out how to find her once we're out of here." I say. She doesn't need to be overly snippy with me. I'm the one who's been in the loony bin forever and a day.

"Good - I'm glad that I don't have to explain it to you any further. Now come on - this way, we've got a meeting to attend and we're late." I pause, considering. "Which probably isn't a bad thing - you know, the gentry have their own rules, one of which is that time moves to our clock and his. Yes, being late will do quite well - slow down."

I watch as Anya and Cordy go off down the hall. Guess I shouldn't have expected Anya to be able to get me out, too, but I wonder if I should wait to make sure Cordy's released. But then, who could actually stand up to Anya and Cordelia talking a mile a minute and not give in to them? The two most stubborn, loud-mouthed people I'd ever known, and that was even including Spike ( ... )
