On the car ride there, I couldn't help but think of Angel more and more. I had been suppressing my anger and frustration of not being able to find him for a long time. Now that we knew exactly what happened I felt as though I could snap at any given moment. Luckily Gunn was there to calm me down...sort of. He didn't say much of anything the whole ( Read more... )

(That's fine. I'm Cayt... nice to meet you :) )

I began walking to the docks, looking at Cordelia. The docks were eerily silent, except for the waves hittin' the posts in the water and the sides of the boat. Kinda lulling, and peaceful in a way... I shook myself. Nah, couldn't be getting complacent just now. Still had a vamp to find.

"This'll be fun," I said sarcastically. "I mean, two people who've never driven a boat, one of which ain't been in a boat, said boat, and a big, mean ocean..." I rolled my eyes.

"We're gonna be out here all night. And longer. And how the hell are we supposed to tell how easy a boat looks to drive?" I asked irritably.

This wasn't my best moment- I had never been in a boat... and I wasn't looking forward to it now. One small little boat, only some wood between me and the ocean, where there were all sorts of fish and sharks to eat you... I shuddered.

"How about this one?" I finally asked. "I mean... it's big," I said hopefully. All the more between me and the flesh-hungry fishes cold water. Hadn't been swimmin' in forever either, so... yeah. That could be bad, too...

"It's big and it's hard to drive. You think you can back that yacht out of this little dock?" I raised my brows. Yeah okay, I could barely keep my eyes open on a boat, and I'm the one complaining about how to drive it.

"That one over there." I said, pointing to a smaller speed boat thing. "It's not too small and it looks fast. Should protect us against the big scary sharks." I said, a look of mock fear on my face.

I climbed down the ladder and into the boat. "I hope you know how to hotwire a car? Cause it's kinda the same as hotwiring a boat. I think." I said, flashing him a grin.

I had absolutely NO clue what I was talking about, yet that had never stopped me before.

I looked over quickly at her crack about the sharks- had I said that out loud? Nah, nah, I didn't. Musta just been a random thing.

Instead, I shot her a dirty look. "Remember when you went and got Angel's car stolen?" I glanced at the boat. "I don't hotwire cars. Not to mention... boat, car. Different things."

I stopped in front of the boat Cordy had pointed at, and raised an eyebrow. "How m'I supposed to drive this thing? There's no brakes or anything."

Not to mention, I didn't know how to start the thing; if there was a key, if you needed to pull a cord like a lawnmower my gram used to have, or something else. Hell, we didn't even know if it had gas in it, or if it had an alarm... Last thing we needed was to get arrested while trying to help Angel out.

parting_gifts December 28 2004, 14:18:26 UTC

Okay. So I had gotten Angel's car stolen, but wasn't it for a greater good?

"Wasn't saving your life involved with the car stealing?" I asked, raising a brow. "Yeah. Thought so. And c'mon. All we gotta do is hop in, search for a key, and turn it on."

I thought for a second. "You think a bobby pin would do it?" I asked. Not like Gunn would have one. What with him being a boy without hair. I might have one somewhere though.

"Besides, there's a little lever and you pull it down and it makes us go in reverse and if you push it up, it makes us go foward." I nodded. I was pretty sure that's how it worked.

loaded_gunn_ December 30 2004, 18:23:43 UTC

I looked at Cordy, dead-pan. "So why don't you drive the boat, then?" I asked. "I mean, since you know so much about them or whatever..."

I glanced around, then stepped down into the boat, then waited for Cordelia to follow. I offered her my hand- was kinda slippery, but then, it was in the water, wasn't it?

"So, you tellin' me you know how to hotwire usin' a bobbypin?" I asked her, nodding toward the sterring wheel of the boat. "'Cause I sure don't..."

I frowned and stepped into the boat without Gunn's assistance. I had good equilibrium, I thought, as I slid my way towards the front of the boat. Never leave a guy to do a girls work. Specially not one named Gunn.

"Now now, Gunn. Don't go getting yourself in a twist. I'll drive." I said, offering him a cheesy smile.

"Now. All we need to do is .. flip a couple of switches .. or pull some levers .. does it look like I have a bobby pin hidden somewhere?" I asked, getting more aggravated by the minute. I raised a brow at him as he stepped back.

Fear the wrath of Cordelia Chase when she doesn't have a bobby pin to steal a boat with.

loaded_gunn_ January 2 2005, 13:23:08 UTC

"Yeah," I drawled. "You'll drive... if we can get the damn thing started." I moved forward, looking at the controls in front of Cordy.

"So, um..." I glanced again. Nope, nothing labelled 'on/off'. "See anything labeled 'on', 'off', or 'power'?"

I glanced up the dock; there was still no one around, which was probably really good. The last thing we needed was probably to have someone see two people trying to steal a boat, when they didn't even have the first clue about how to get the boat started...

parting_gifts January 2 2005, 15:23:52 UTC

I glared at him and glanced over his shoulder. "Like I said. Never leave a man to do a woman's job. Why don't you just start pressing .. anything? Maybe we'll get lucky and something will start it up."

"You know .. we've got people at Angel Investigations, like Wes and Fred, who can research demons like a hellcat, then there's you and Angel, who can fight anything, then there's me, who can do everything else. But not one of us knows who to drive OR start a boat. I think we need to hire someone else, mainly one who specializes in water and boats." I shrugged. Not like there have been many times when we needed to steal a boat.

loaded_gunn_ January 3 2005, 07:07:45 UTC

"Yeah, or blow it up," I muttered.

"Yeah, hire someone else, with our non-existent payroll," I said, rolling my eyes. "'Hi, would you like to work for us? We fight demons, and sometime we might need a boat... yes, demons are real... what psyche ward?'"

Meanwhile, I looked at the buttons, until I saw a switch labeled 'main power'. I pushed it, and lights came on in the dash. From there, I grinned at Cordy, before looking for the next thing to play with to get this rig goin'.

parting_gifts January 3 2005, 15:57:07 UTC

Oh. Gunn was getting smart with me. I shoved him back a bit. "No one is blowing anything up and see? You're not that slow! The boat did start."

Psyche ward. "Psyche ward my ass. We could always bring them to Sunnydale ..." I trailed off. Hello, looney bin? We got a live one.
"Yeah I see your point. Shutup."

I rolled my eyes. He was looking awfully smug for starting the boat. "Now pull this lever towards you .. so we can, you know, go in reverse. We do have to back out, unless you want to drive through this wood." I crossed my arms.

"Away we go, Gilligan." I smirked.

loaded_gunn_ January 3 2005, 16:40:38 UTC

"Gilligan..." I snorted. "I ain't no Gilligan. I mean, c'mon. I'm not skinny, white, or clumsy. I thought I'd be Skipper or someone- I mean, I got the know how of how to survive, right?" I smirked at Cordy.

"You'd be Ginger, right? Actress with no real reason to be there?"

I reached and pulled the lever she had pointed to, and eased it back. Sure enough, the boat began to back up. I played with the controls a bit, reversing and beginning to pull the boat out of the docks, to the ocean.

I grinned. This was easy... now, where to look? And... "So, how're we gonna find him, exactly?"

parting_gifts January 4 2005, 15:47:09 UTC

I rolled my eyes and sighed dramatically. "Okay, Skipper. Let's get this show on the road. And hey .. most actresses don't have reasons to be where they are. It just so happens that A) I'm not an actress anymore and B) I have a very significant reason for being here."

Where to look? Good question. I slid onto a bench and glanced over the side of the boat. Okay. Darkness falls, much?

"Well let's just take a metal detector and throw that overboard and see if it beeps." I said, grinning.

loaded_gunn_ January 7 2005, 15:30:25 UTC

"Throw... it... overboard." I said flatly, not believing that she had really just said that.

"Cordy, hate to break it to ya, but... I don't think it'll do us a whole lotta good overboard!" I shot her a look of disgust.

"Not to mention, big coffin-y thing, sinking to the bottom. What makes you think a regular metal detector's gon' go down that far?"

I steered the boat out into the sea, and stopped, letting us float for a moment.

"Any visions telling ya where to start?"

parting_gifts January 7 2005, 17:41:22 UTC

I glared back at him. I couldn't believe him. He actually thought I was serious. The dumbass thought I was serious .

"Gunn. How long have you known me? Do you really think I'm that .. blonde?!" I shouted back at him.

"Right. Because my visions just come on ..." I trailed off, looking blankly at the water.

"He's not here." I said, abruptly. "Angel isn't here. He's not in the water."
