When Cordelia Chase said she'd seen Charles Gunn, her late comrade-in-arms, having lunch in downtown Los Angeles, I personally dismissed her claims. Not to her face, of course...but she was, I thought, obviously coping with the loss of her friend. Obviously she was going through a rather textbook case of denial ( Read more... )

The hotel has been a busy place the past few days.

Willow Rosenberg and her partner came down from Sunnydale, presumably to confer with Wesley about Melaka.

I don't know if they're aware I'm here in Los Angeles, to say nothing of staying here at the hotel. Surely Harris or Spike said something when they returned to Sunnydale. The women ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm contributing again.

When I was teaching -- seems like ages ago, when I took my leave to go after Spike -- I always felt the proudest, the most accomplished, when I made a connection with one of my students. Some of them were tough nuts to crack, and not all of them were exactly receptive. But when that connection was made, when ( Read more... )

People seem to be on the road to recovery here at Angel Investigations. Or at least, nobody wants to kill each other anymore.

Whatever has people upset with Angel, at least he's trying to make amends for it. And so far, it sounds like everyone's accepting his olive branch. I heard Wesley invited him to dinner with his wife...not the kind of ( Read more... )

In spite of their obvious effectiveness -- our effectiveness, now, I guess, seeing as how I've been more or less accepted here -- this group is still pretty fractured.

Melaka has been going on patrol the past few nights with Faith and Osbourne. Quite a formidable team, two Slayers and a werewolf.

I've been working with Wesley and, occasionally, ( Read more... )

Working with Angel's team is quite a different experience from working with Buffy Summers'.

Granted, when I was in Sunnydale, I had...other motives. But whereas the Slayer's allies seemed to be more specialized -- the witch, the Watcher, the muscle, and so forth -- each member of Angel's team is perfectly capable of dealing with a rogue demon on ( Read more... )

The tension here at the Hyperion is thick enough, it would snap someone's blade if they tried to cut it. And it all seems to center around Angel.

Funny how a vampire can do that.

No one's actually told me what exactly happened to put everyone on pins and needles. I know a member of their team was killed, a man named Charles Gunn. Aside from ( Read more... )

Angel has returned to Los Angeles.

I'm not sure if that's altogether a good thing.

In one respect, I get the impression that whatever had happened in Sunnydale is back to normal...or as normal as it gets when dealing with supernatural forces bent on destroying the world, or worse. Los Angeles is usually Angel's city, while Sunnydale is the ( Read more... )

Having Finn show up like he did only made a bad situation a little worse.

It's been bad enough trying to get Spike to believe me, to trust me after what I tried to do. He says he does, but I can tell otherwise. The way he acts on patrol or when we're on a call. If I get into a jam, he'll hesitate ever so slightly, as if he's letting the demon ( Read more... )

Lomboko is dead. Been dead for a few days, though I'm just now getting around to writing about it.

He actually showed up here, in Los Angeles, alone. He made short work of Spike and Harris, to say nothing about almost putting Nabbit into traction. He would've killed me, too, if it wasn't for Faith's timely appearance ( Read more... )
