Tension
The tension here at the Hyperion is thick enough, it would snap someone's blade if they tried to cut it. And it all seems to center around Angel.
Funny how a vampire can do that.
No one's actually told me what exactly happened to put everyone on pins and needles. I know a member of their team was killed, a man named Charles Gunn. Aside from the fact that it had something to do with whatever happened in Sunnydale these past few months, I don't know anything more than that.
My first instinct was that Angel was somehow involved with his death. That would certainly explain the tension, especially if it stemmed from another episode with his demonic Angelus persona, which would also account for why he's not dust. But even if that was the case, the people here are acting almost indecisive. As if they're upset, but not sure who the right target to vent at is.
None of my business, though. If they want to open up a little to me, fine. But since I'm not exactly part of their little team, holding my breath for that probably isn't a good idea.
I have, however, had a handful of discussions with Wesley Windham-Pryce. As a former Watcher, he does have access into the old Watcher diaries, albeit limited access given his expulsion from the Watchers' Council proper. I'm the the son of a Slayer -- seemingly a rare occurrence, given the circumstances; he can provide me with a window into my mother's life that I never had the chance to open. So we've found a common ground.
Then there's the girl.
She was with Angel when he returned to Los Angeles. Supposedly she's a Slayer from the future. Though it's been hard to figure out if that's true or not, since she keeps to her room like a hermit. I've seen her occasionally, slipping out into the kitchen for some food. It was probably pure luck I saw her the first time, given the way she moves, but since then I've known what to watch for.
I don't know if she knows I've seen her, or if she cares too much. Maybe next time I catch her raiding the pantry, I'll stop her and say hello...
