| movie night |
[15 Aug 2005|06:05pm] |
Willow had decided to purchase the DVDs rather than rent them, this time. Faith and Morgan took charge of refreshments, banishing the redheaded hacker from the kitchen.
It was an old joke with them, and she just smiled before going out to the stores.
She returned an hour and a half later with copies of Labyrinth, Underworld, and Return of The Jedi. Brien had tried to talk her into
including "Catwoman" for the "mock the bad movies" portion of the evening, but on that
the entire group, aside from him, had been unanimous in saying "no."
She put the DVDs down on the coffee table in the living room, went hastily upstairs to shower and change, wanting to get out of her "office attire."
A few minutes later, wearing a blouse and soft slacks, she curled up on the couch with
Sierra.
The sound of voices at the door heralded Faith's and Morgan's return, bearing pizza boxes and six-packs. They set their 'loot' on the table, too.
Faith picked up Labyrinth and slid it into the DVD player.
((open for anybody else in the family or friends group who wants to stop by))

Hot tubs are more fun when you've got someone to share 'em with, but even without they're pretty good.
ETA: no, that wasn't an invitation, "someone." Though I'm sure it'd be entertaining.
No, Tadc, I wasn't yanking your chain. And hey, amateur poetry is sort of an honorable established tradition.
Tomorrow night's when we're on for it. We're thinking pizza, beer, soda for those of
us are underage or don't drink alcohol. Movies. So far we've got Labyrinth, which I've actually never seen, but I hear is pretty good, Underworld, and a couple of others that are in the 'mock the stupid' category.
So starting Monday, and anyone friend-ish who wants to come join us is welcome.

Yow.
Okay. I've been reading over the books Lu loaned us on these guys.
And I hate to say it, but I think she was right about more than one
concern she mentioned...
[locked to Brien]
Brien, did you and Faith meet up with Kimble all right? Once you get
back, come find me. There's something we need to talk about. [/lock]
Violet, I know you're worried, and that Gray is. But no, we are not going
to rush back there. I understand that it's your responsibility, but news
flash, you're in no shape to go fight anyone. More to the point, we
aren't. We all need a respite as much as we need to plan.
Research, and yes, off-duty time. Pause for breath.
Some of my friends are coming by later tonight. Don't freak if you see someone
you don't recognize. I've reset the wards, so if they get in without raising
an alarm, they're allowed in.

I shouldn't have come back.
[private lock, not visible to others]
I'm trying. It's never enough.
And now this damned mess with Colleen. I thought I knew her back in Sunnydale,
but this? No.
But she might have been Called anyway.
Sierra might be, too, and I don't want to think about that now.
Part of me just wants to take her and move somewhere I'll never have to
see another vampire or demon--any of them.
Of course, since I can't leave myself behind, the whole 'no more
demons' isn't really an option.
It's not my fault!!
I'm sick of being the one who's supposed to fix everything or...[/end lock]
*laughs*.
Goddess. Now I know how Sam and Lu must be feeling. I owe them one hell of
an apology. For all the good it'd do.
I've been scared even to mention Daniel. I know Soren/Sam/He must miss him
horribly. So do I, but what I miss is different...and I can't...
And ...
and Tara.
I don't even begin to know what to do...
I just don't.
too much else has changed. I can't be who she remembers anymore.
I'm trying to be the guardian of a potential Slayer, teach two other people
magic, and learn myself, and deal with having a second 'self' that thinks
most of the people I love would taste good raw.
Who I need to remember to be may not be what my family wants, I think,
but the necessity is still there.

Willow can't remember the last time she "slept in." It's fun, but feels lazy.
She knows she has odd, unsettling dreams. She should probably write them down, but for the most, all she really wants is to forget. Enjoy the days. Damn it, they deserve that much.

She'd been proud of her good grades, her "academic brilliance", and later on, of
her skill with math and computers. With a crossbow, or stake, sometimes, or trank
rifle. She wasn't as strong or as quick as any Slayer, but she had been proud of
holding her own.
Of course, that didn't last. It never did.
What did...
She was proud of her friends, the only family she had that stuck around. Xander.
Buffy. Giles. Anya, later, even when she and Willow fought like a pair of cats with
only one can of tuna. No, that hadn't been a "prideful moment" for the hacker/witch.
The moment she was most proud of them?

The parcel contains Willow's notes on Wolfram and Hart, Holland Manners,
and everything else she's been able to learn about the Senior Partners.
She worked from the assumption that revenge was not Manners' goal, or not the
primary end. By all accounts, the man had spent years keeping his own skin intact.
Self-interest above all else.
So, what did Darla or Connor have to offer him, that was worth this much trouble?
He was functionally immortal, had wealth, position, power...
To be fully alive again, as opposed to walking dead? No. He wouldn't have...
Willow had paused, one night, while looking over a history of some of Wolfram and
Hart's pursuits.
Holland had always been cautious, planned for contingencies. Wheels within wheels.
Never mind unraveling the whole tangle. Find the pattern it belongs to.
What was different about Darla, and Connor? Why only them?
Then she put aside the file on Manners and picked up one labeled 'Jasmine.'
She read through it slowly, eyes narrowed, nodded.
The Circle of the Black Thorn had been decimated. Gone. A power gap had been left.
He'd taken advantage. Yet, as Angel and the other former employees at AI had proved,
even they could be defeated, pulled down.
He wanted to take the next step. Go beyond being 'only' a man. However, understandably, most Powers, bright or dark or quietly gray, didn't divulge the means
by which a mortal might accomplish that.
Queries to other contacts of hers in L.A. allowed her to obtain more information on
what Jasmine had been capable of, at full strength. She watched a videotape of the woman, chilled.
They needed an answer to this now. A way to be rid of him. But the only way to do that
would be for him to first agree to give up his current 'incarnation', leaving himself
temporariy vulnerable. She remembered her high school graduation, and laughed grimly. She'd seen a rough copy of the Wolfram and Hart contract. The damned thing had almost no loopholes.
She thought, then included a letter to Darla, outlining her suspicions.
The woman might be incapable of a 'normal' pregnancy, but then again, that wasn't
necessarily at issue. And Connor's status was even less clear.
Justine's reappearance, and Eve's, now struck her as almost too convenient. She
shook her head. Not enough data to even include that as speculation.
((ooc--DarlaMun, hope this works for what you had in mind, if not, let me know.
*hugs* am trying to tie up plottiness for Willow for a bit. But I don't mean to rush or railroad anybody.I can edit this if asked, np.))

1)What gives you your greatest sense of satisfaction?Learning or creating something
new on my own.
2) What is the most meaningful book you've ever read?I've read several, but the
most meaningful--? Have to get back to you on that.History, or poetry. Shakespeare.
Gibson. Maybe.
3) Is there a period in history that you'd like to visit, only as an observer?
The supposed period when the world, and humans, were created.
4) Had you known as a child that your life would become so... complicated, would you have done anything to try to change it?No, I don't think so. A friend of mine
tried something like that once and it got several people she knew killed, in an alternate reality that resulted. History's better left alone.
5) If you could talk to yourself as a child, what would you tell her?That she
doesn't have to be the best of everything, doesn't have to be perfect. And then I'd
tell her not to try learning to bake cookies. Mine are lethal. Not to mention, people
DID tell me that as a kid.

Sierra, Leslie, and I, and another friend of mine--Kat Darweave--are leaving town for two weeks after the 19th. I don't mean to drop the projects I've got going, 'specially those involving people who need the help.I can do some of it at a distance, or if not, there's options to get back quickly. But I just-- we need a few days to ourselves. Away from Boston. Cities make Kat ill, and I for one wouldn't mind a change of scenery. Suggestions? We'll be in Ontario for at least a couple of days. After that, nothing's set in stone.
[locked to those who know Willow's a lycanthrope]
No, I won't be back by the full moon nights this month. I've made arrangements with someone to have Sierra and Leslie stay with him then, at least nightly. Kat is...Believe me, I don't think she has much to be afraid of where shapechangers are concerned. We'll be all right.[/end lock]
My friend Ian will be housesitting. So don't be startled if you, whoever, goes to my address and a cute guy answers the door. *thinks* or the phone.
Be nice. He's polite but a little shy around strangers.

1.) Do you feel you gave up computers for magic? (No. These days, I'd say both get about equal time. They're both tools--neither is really a passion for me anymore.)
2.) If someone else, of the non-villainous variety, that is, claimed your daughter as theirs, what would you do? (I...don't know. Except that while I wouldn't want to cut Sierra off from knowing her family, I think I'd fight letting her go--No, I know I would. I couldn't stand not to.)
[locked to Darla]
3.) Is the ensouling curse specifically designed for Angelus or applicable for other vampires? (The version used on him would have to be modified, worded to the individual
it was meant to be used on. But it could possibly be done, assuming that the soul in question isn't 'under contract' or hasn't been sent to reincarnate. The worst part is the 'no perfect happiness or you lose the soul clause'. )[/end lock]
4.) And while we're talking about these gypsies; I always suspected that the series of disasters... odd occurances that happened to everyone of my family save Dru wasn't a coincidence. Did they by chance curse my entire line? (To the best of my knowledge, no, they didn't. Whether or not it's coincidence, I wouldn't be sure of.
5.) The best way to say "thank you for a lovely evening" in your opinion, is...? (Laughs softly. Whisper it in someone's ear? or in Irish if you know the language.</i>)

1. Which comes first, global responsibility or taking care of the home front?
In some lines of work, 'global' as in Earth is the home front. I'd say do whichever couldn't wait, first, if there was a time limit/deadline.
2. Who is your personal hero and why? I respect a lot of people. I don't think I can say just one is above the rest. Because they don't give up, and they do what they have to, no matter how hard it is.
3. What is the secret, slutty outfit you have always just been dying to wear?
*blushes* There's this dress someone bought me, as a joke--it's more like 'suggestion' than a full piece of clothing. It's silk, but gauzy, you can nearly see through the top half, and the way it clings, wearing anything under it wouldn't help much. That's if you *could*, loose it's not!
4. Is love really all you need, or are diamonds still a girl's best friend. Love's not all. It's most, but we don't live in dreams.
5. For one week, you get to tie up, command and keep any person that you want, and do anything you want to them. Who would it be and what would you do?
[locked to Carolina] Either Faith, or another lady I know. Or....no, not going to say it. His partner would murder me. But it's fun to imagine.

1.What do you do for a living?
Computers--programming, security, sometimes custom work, either hardware
or software.
2. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would pick something physical, I think. Be taller, or get rid of my
allergies. I have one that gives me trouble every month, practically on
the clock.
3. What's the strangest thing you've seen in this community?I think
it's a tie between the number of gods/goddess/etc., walking around, and my friends Wes' and Ben's matching outfits.
4. Have you ever been in love? Yes, I have. Several times.
5. How do you relax? Read, listen to music, go outside if it's not
freezing. Spend time with my family, or friends.
