I am flawed but I am cleaning up so well

Nov 13, 2005 14:33

Buffy and I didn't really do much slaying after our conversation. It wasn't really a surprise considering all the thing I finally knew about. I couldn't believe it. Faith was dead, Spike was back, Angel had gone evil again. Okay. So that part I could believe because it was us. The part that was unbelievable to me was that my big sister couldn't ( Read more... )

"They do tend to keep the stick in their arse full time over there. So you snuck out from ol' Rippers watchful gaze did you?" Had the feeling she was less than thrilled by the reception she'd gotten from big sis. Same from this big bad, former that is.

"Big sis isn't much for talking to anyone these days niblet, don't take it personal like." Eyeballed her as she looked around my new digs. It wasn't the grand hotel Angel had nested in but it was something. Had my very own Clash poster and a playstation. Headed for the fridge and pulled out a pair of cold bottles, set one in front of her on the counter. "Welcome back to the states then. Imagine if you managed to sneak back here you managed to sneak into a pub or two back across the pond." What I wanted to ask was exactly what load of crap her sister had actually fessed up to and just how the hell she'd tracked me down so bloody fast.

"So what did big sis tell you anyway?" There, that wasn't so hard.

"I didn't sneak out, I asked him if I could go and he said yes. I think he was getting sick of me always trying to cook in his kitchen or something." I loved Giles but he made it pretty clear that he didn't want a teenage girl living with him every holiday break. I hated my school so I tended to go back to Giles' house on the weekends too. He was probably just ready to get rid of me ( ... )

"Can't imagine Rupert not taking to anchovies and peanut butter as the main parts of his diet." Most proper english sorts loved the taste of rubbish, look at their meals. Mincemeat pie, I mean really, no wonder the yanks had rebelled. "Least we have pizza and chinese delivery 'round here." I'd been trying to get the chinese place down the block to start with onion blossoms for weeks. They kept arguing with me about spinach onions. What the sod was a spinach onion anyway? Or was he saying spanish onion? Hell if I know ( ... )

"You were a ghost?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. I wanted to know everything and I had a lot of questions for Spike. Mostly how did Angel go evil again because was he sleeping with Buffy? You would have thought she'd have learned her lesson the first time around and I was pretty sure that she had. I mean, that was why Angel had left in the first place right? Because he sleeps with Buffy and then killed everyone. Was that why Spike wasn't at the hotel with Buffy? Because she slept with Angel again ( ... )

"Being all ghostified wasn't even the worst part of it kitten. Seemed I was bound to the one who released me, which just happened to be Angel." Snorted and took back a long swallow of beer. Story like this, had to keep the tongue good and loose. Least I could skip over the ghost fights and nearly gettin sucked into hell. No need for her to hear about all the gore ( ... )

Wow. Alot had happened and it was kind of strange to think about it. Buffy hadn't even been here the first time around before some ancient demon turned back time. I remembered Giles telling me about that back in England. It was so weird! Because if time hadn't turned back I would totally not be in L.A. right now, I'd still be in England. At least I thought that was where I was. I could be different. Everything would be different. It was kind of creepy.

"Huh?" I asked him, his voice cutting through my voice when he told me to come along if I wanted to hear the rest. Come along where? With a shrug I finished off my beer and stood up feeling a little giggly suddenly. Okay, so I had managed to sneak into a bar or two with a friend of mine but I never really drank anything. Was I going to turn into one of those really lame girls that only have a beer and their all drunk and icky?

"Where are we going?" I asked him as I followed him towards the door.

bloody_willy November 18 2005, 00:54:51 UTC

"To a place." Knocked back the last of my bottle and tossed it toward a bin with other empties. Ought to do something about that sometime or another. Now wasn't that time, not at all. "Sort of a musical thing, only well, not really. You'll see."

Didn't need to bother locking up behind myself, nobody on this block wanted to mess with this big bad, troublemakin types had learned that right quick after I'd set up shop here. Caught her givin me one of those Summers-sideways looks as we sauntered up the stairs, always with the wanting more details than a bloke wanted to give. "Fine. Its a bloody club for poetry readings. Told a person I'd be 'round to have a listen to his latest and greatest ode to cheese. One word to anyone and you'll regret it." Nodded as though I meant it. Really what could I do to Dawn? Tell her that Faith an' her sister decided to take after Red and Tara? Best to wait on that till I was good and plastered.

I raised an eyebrow when Spike said we were going to a poetry reading. I mean, I knew that Spike used to like poems and stuff before he became a vampire and I was pretty sure I found a poem about Buffy a really long time ago when I was snooping through his crypt but I had no idea he went to poetry readings. That was actually kind of cool. Weird but cool ( ... )

Spotted a table off to one side up towards the front and headed toward it. Things had already gotten off on stage so I shot her a 'shut the hell up' look and slid into my seat. Nodded to FJ the bloke she'd jostled as his eyes just about crossed at the sight of the niblet. Yeah she might be filling out alright but she was still off limits to his dirty paws.

"Believe me bit you've never heard a poem until you've listened to a man weep doing on and on about his favorite chopper sliding into a tree. Bring the blood house down they do."

Looked around, wasn't sure where most of the regulars were. This was the night they'd told me. Sure of it, even checked the calender myself. "So, I take it none of this is helping out my big bad, larger than life image is it?"

I quickly quieted down when Spike shot me that familiar look that pretty much told me to shut up. But then he started rambling on and on about a chopper sliding into a tree and poetry? And then about his image and I was having trouble splitting my focus between Spike worrying about his image and the gigantic man on stage speaking low into the microphone about his motorcycle ( ... )

"First time for everything is there." Muttered into my fresh pint as the waitress twisted off before I could even ask about my mates. Glanced down at my coaster and spotted a note straight off.

Spike - You cradle robbing sonofabitch. If you can't get in her pants I have just the poem about her eyes waiting.Flipped the coaster over and looked up at the bar, the snickering band of buggared bastards were waving back to me. Wankers. Dirty minded and about as horny as a goat with two peckers this bunch was. Ought to go over there and tear the lot of 'em up one side and down another. Course they were good drinking lads, besides that I'd be putting the drinks for the bit and I on their tab ( ... )

Spike was giving his friends at the bar a weird look but I was too busy watching the poet on stage to really pay attention to what was going on with him. It was actually really bad poetry and the guy who was reading it was pretty scary but it was kind of fascinating to watch. It was always the one's you least expected, you know ( ... )

bloody_willy November 28 2005, 22:05:05 UTC

Was there anybody who hadn't gone snooping about in my old crypt back in the 'Dale? Christ, tween her, Clem, Joyce, Buffy, Harm and the lot of em prouncing about my stuff it was a wonder I hadn't ended up more batshit then Dru.

Hell, even Dru had snooped about.

"Fine, there may have been a poem or two. That's long past niblet." That ought to close the book on her sis and I. Not that it would, just should. Had the feeling I was in for talking over feelings and the lot of that. "About the only thing your sister wants these days is to sit around the hotel trying to out brood Angelcakes."

Flagged down the waitress and got her to bring over another round. Had the feeling this talk was about to take a turn. "She does love to tell everyone around how to live their lives. Someday she'll figure out that isn't in her job duties." She really ought to killing things like me. "Not my job to go telling her that though."

womansized November 30 2005, 05:45:49 UTC

Out brood Angel? Was that even like possible? I didn't really know Angel all that well and honestly I'd never really liked him, but mostly what I'd heard about Angel was that he spent a lot of time in the dark being all quiet and creepy and feeling sorry for himself. That was like brooding right? Buffy wouldn't really do that. Spike was just all sore about a fight that the two of them had or something ( ... )

Couldn't help but snort the last swallow of beer out from a nostril at that. Her sister couldn't give half a flying fuck whether I was dust or not. Niblet really had no idea what she'd missed while having her time in the old country. "Sure the slayer cares about you in that sisterly way the two of you have and all."

Fact was her big sis had been perfectly happy setting up home with her other sister and doing some things that even I didn't feel like telling the bint about. "Want to know what is really going on do you? Your sis is doing the thing where she's still hung up on Faith since Angelus drained the life out of her lover." Slammed my empty bottle on the table, somehow holding myself back from smashing the hell out of bottles and table.

Right, wouldn't want to scare the girl.

"Haven't crossed Buffy's path since the two of us helped stick the soul back in Angel. That clear things up for you then Dawnie?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin when Spike slammed the empty beer bottle down on the table. What? Buffy and....Faith? It wasn't that that was completely surprising, if you'd ever been around the two of them you could see how Faith made Buffy kind of gay. But I didn't think that the two of them...would....I guess it made sense. Why Buffy was so destroyed that Faith was dead ( ... )
