One single fact

Sep 20, 2005 09:23

If you could find out one single fact about every person you met, what fact would you want to know, and why?The happiest moment in their life. I know, that makes me sound like a total sap, but see, I get to know most of the other crap anyway. When you meet people - well, when I meet them, or did during the majority of my life - it's in a fighting ( Read more... )

Connor, I need a favor. Well, I guess I need to hire your services. Kara has taken off to California and didn't feel like she should clear this with Darla or me before leaving. I have no idea who she is off to visit, but some Warren guy said family. Does she have family?

You're in LA and are able to move during daylight hours...

Will you track her down and bring her home?

a) You don't need to hire me. We do have some clients here, and there is still gas in your car. Besides, then I don't feel so much in your debt anymore.

b) Kara is a menace. She ought to be locked up in some kind of super safe school somewhere. Did you know she let Drusilla drink from her? She also helped saving my life, so sure, I'll look for her, but:

c) You realize California is a pretty big state? Any idea where exactly she went to so I can narrow it down and start somewhere?

d) WHY DID YOU TELL HER ABOUT Mom and Dad THE RILEYS?

e) Yes, she has family. Once upon a time when she was able to talk to me without telling me how to treat mine she mentioned she had a father who went away when she was little. She wanted to look for him one day.

a. Thank you. You've never been in my debt, Connor.

b. I thought about a tower with a moat and maybe a dragon, but there was a kid named Mike who looks a lot like you who kept pointing out all the mistakes in every plan I came up with. Hey, did you know they have mini dragons that don't have to breathe fire if you don't feed them special rocks? I want one, but Kara threw a fit. I'm thinking running away across the country without telling your mother or me what's going on pretty much takes her opinion about having a mini dragon in the house away. ... SHE WHAT?c. She apparently talked to her friend, Warren. I was able to get him to tell me that she went to visit her dad so that would be the lead to follow. If we can find out her father's name then we can get an address. I'm confused why she was living with Wes and now us if she and her father are on good terms. Honestly, I don't know much about her family so you have more info here than I do. Warren said maybe San Francisco but he wasn't sure ( ... )

a) You're welcome.

b) Mini dragons sound awesome. And hey, you're more whipped than Dad - Lawrence - is by my sister Mere. And absolutely - it's your house anyway, right?

c) Warren is okay, so I suppose that info is reliable. Her father left her and her mother from what I know. She said her aunt said her father was scum, but that she never thought he was. That was when we were talking about how Fred and Gunn called Holtz scum and didn't get it. At least, that was what I was talking about. Just for the record. This totally wasn't about...anyway.

d) It's just that he thinks he can tell me what to do anyway. But yeah, I get he's the better alternative. Also, he doesn't tell everybody and their dog, and I have the horrible suspicion Kara did.

e) Strangely enough, I get why she didn't. It's the same reason why I didn't tell Justine and Father I was going to meet you and Darla in the Vineland.

I've tried to clean this up as much as possible, but I'm sure by now you've seen the papers and possibly the tabloid news shows. I honestly don't know what to say other than I apologize that you and Kara have been dragged into the media circus that is my life. You were wrong about your assumptions regarding my intentions for your sister Kara. I never touched her and I was trying to do right by her, but the fact remains that neither of you would be exploited by the press and dealing with the fall out with your family and friends had you not had the misfortune of crossing paths with me ( ... )

Not Kara. I mean, I still think you're too old for her, but just for the record, I happen to know a guy who fell for a teenager and was several hundred centuries older and it would have been so useful to know that when everyone was freaking out about me and Cordy, but I only found out two months ago, so you're pretty normal in comparison. But forget all the apology stuff because you're reminding me more and more of Angel by the minute, and that freaks me out. It's not your fault that the media is totally insane.

re: Kara: haven't heard from her directly since, but that's normal. She doesn't talk with me most of the time unless she needs to lecture me on how I should behave towards, well, my parents. But I checked out her journal, and she was busy telling Warren what an idiot I was in an unlocked thread, so I figure she's alright. Warren also has the totally bizarre impression I'm in love with her. What part of "I already have a girlfriend, and I'm not into ( ... )

Thanks for the tip about the age difference between a certain centuries old guy and the teenager he was once in love with. I don't think I will be able to use that to my advantage though because it's different when some guy is trying to date your almost daughter. Honestly, if he had been cool about things when we stepped off the plane that would have freaked me out. I don't disagree with what he had to say me. I just didn't see the benefit of debating with him when I had a hangover. I am nothing like him. Well. I think he uses as much gel as I do, but that is about it.For what it's worth, I knew you weren't sixteen and it does suck for both of us that the papers seem to want to assume you are. However they are offering an award for your identity and if you have any enemies or casual acquaintances looking for a quick pay off, they'll probably sell you out. The bonus side of this is that this will clear up your age. The bad side, you' ( ... )

I didn't feel like debating with him when I had a hangover myself, so I get that. Though "debating" is kind of a euphemism for the way these things usually go.

Identity: well, so much for my anonymity then. Tucker Wells is the first who comes to mind. Have you meet him yet? Kara's sort of idol - platonic, don't sweat - and he tends to either yell at people or amaze them with moments of actually interesting conversation. Works for Evil Incorporated for a living these days.

Kara's fighting abilities: tactics, man, tactics. I told her she should train with Angel, but does she listen? No. She doesn't train at all. And she really should. Because she has all that potential. I once met a Slayer in her prime, and she was awesome. She would have wiped the floor with me in the hotel. Kara could become that, but she's lazy and she's sloppy, and if she doesn't get her act together that is going to get her killed one day, because vampires don't joke ( ... )
