[ Angel has never been a fan of small devices. He can't type quickly and the letters are too close together. Also, he thinks he figured out how to be anon

You mean, did someone find and stake that friend of mine you turned who used to be a sweet, innocent little girl?

Yeah, that was taken care of. Thanks.

[inakoipond]

I'm sorry about Cho.

[ But, he meant spell consequences. He's not surprised Spike skipped over that. And he doesn't need to backtrack. ]

[locked]

[idolstolemylook]

Yeah, whatever. According to you, wasn't you anyway, and I don't have any feelings, so what've you got to be sorry for?

[locked]

[inakoipond]

[ He could counter that you have feelings for Buffy but he isn't Angelus. He doesn't speak so rashly. He thinks. Besides, he's going to readdress what he meant from the get-go. ]

How did the spell effect you?

[ voice ]

[maybebatman]

Having some technological troubles, Angelus?

[ voice ]

[inakoipond]

[ He remembers you. Considering your personality, Angel just assumes he won't like you either. Sorry, Boyd. ]

It's Angel.

[ voice ]

[maybebatman]

[ Yeeeah probably not. ]

That's a dramatic change.

[ voice ]

[inakoipond]

[ If there were a word to describe a more deadpan expression? It would go here to describe the following. ]

I'm a dramatic guy.

There is no redemption for our kind.

[ Inside, he's appreciating your switching to audio, Godric. He appreciates it so. And though a part of him refuses to believe that, still another part understands where Godric is coming from. ]

We can still do good.

[dodsfall]

We can. But that isn't enough to redeem us. Regardless of how many acts of good we perform, that does not change what we are.

[inakoipond]

We can try.

[She is surprised by this. She stares at her device for quite some time before she decides to respond.]

You're welcome.

[a beat]

I'm not really sure how this works. Am I supposed to re-introduce myself to you? Because you aren't him but you are and--I'm sorry, I don't really know the protocol.

[another pause]

Do you need help figuring out how to use your device?

[audio; locked]

[inakoipond]

[ He pauses what he's doing, setting his pencil down. ]

You don't have to re-introduce yourself.

[ There is no real protocol. Angel hadn't met her. But, he had been around her. Been with her. Or, that had been Angelus. But Angel remembered. He couldn't say anything about it. One more thing on a pile of apologies that mean nothing. ]

I changed the setting.

[ He hates texting. Move on, Bonnie. Sore subject. ]

[blytheandbonnie]

Okay.

I just want you to know, I'm not a terrible person. Or a super skank.

[awkward, awkward, awkward]

You're surprisingly charming when you're evil is all.

[audio; locked]

[inakoipond]

I didn't think you were.

[ Either. Oh. Thanks for the compliment. Or, you know, not. He doesn't really have a response right away. ]

Angelus is a lot of things. Surprising and not.

[text | anon]

[demonologist]

[He knows who's asking and it takes Wes a long time to decide whether to send a reply. Because there's so much that needs to be addressed between the two of them and yet he doesn't know if it ever will be. Perhaps it's better that way. There are wounds on both sides, after all. Plenty of blame to through around.

He chooses for his response to be text as well, and anonymous. If Angel doesn't want to approach him, he won't force the issue.]

Maybe it depends on who is being asked to forgive and why.

[text | anon]

[inakoipond]

[ Be conscious of the fact that this text message takes a very long time to be sent back. ]

A murderer.

[text | anon]

[demonologist]

Is the victim? Either way, there are worse things than murder.

Partyl.
