I [Holo] Finding myself making every possible mistake

Sep 04, 2010 18:46

"-sexual intercourse, I've said it like a dozen… Xander?" Anya frowns. Xander's basement is far from a pleasant place, but it is somewhat less metallic and plus, there is Xander and juice boxes and she's pretty sure from the way he'd been staring at her that he was going to end up engaging in coitus with her, except now he's gone ( Read more... )

[ wow, okay, another familiar face from the not-so-distant past. ]

...Anya?

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 03:11:09 UTC

Anya has located the tablet by now, and no longer wonders about the invisible people talking to her. But this voice is familiar. "Cordelia?"

[ voice ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 03:20:41 UTC

Yeah. It's me. Hi. Uh--

[ what is she supposed to say now? ] Xander isn't here, I'm sorry to say. But most of the other Sunnydale alumni are.

Have you been told on where, exactly, you are right now?

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 03:30:16 UTC

Oh. That's nice.

[She doesn't really care about any of the other Sunnydale high people. Giles is annoying and boring and Buffy is pretty strictly anti-demon. Willow seems to hold a grudge for the whole vampire Willow debacle. Cordelia mostly stirs up mixed feelings of sympathy in light of Xander's cheating tendencies and worry that she'll decide she wants Xander back and Anya won't be able to have him.]

Abducted by aliens to a city called Taxon. I've been around a very long time and there have never been aliens before.

[ voice ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 03:52:19 UTC

[ she chuckles a little. ] Aliens are pretty much new territory for most of us, I think. But you'll get used to it pretty quickly - mostly because they very rarely show themselves to us here.

[ pauuuuse. ] I know this question may seem odd, but... what year are you from?

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 03:55:38 UTC

[Pause of confusion.] It's 1999. Obviously. Has Los Angeles made you insane?

[ voice ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 03:57:02 UTC

As insane as you are for apparently having been "abducted by aliens", you mean?

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 04:04:43 UTC

That's simply what the man with the zipper on his head told me.

[ voice ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 04:08:53 UTC

That'll be Glitch. He's a nice guy and, well, he's telling you the truth.

[ she sighs. ] I'm only asking because time... works differently here. Don't ask me how, but the aliens kinda take us from different years. Me? I got pulled in here over a year ago, but when I left LA it was 2001.

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 04:29:36 UTC

Oh. Are we in a different dimension as well as on a different planet? Cause those are hell on timelines.

[ voice ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 04:59:19 UTC

Maybe? To be honest I really didn't bother finding out.

...say! Have you actually gone out of that chamber yet? It's actually a bit warmer when you get out of there.

[ voice ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 05:17:46 UTC

Oh, yes, that would be good. I should also find some clothing. Though a man called Harold Saxon said he'd bring me some.

[ voice | locked ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 05:57:23 UTC

Harold--

[ cordelia quickly locks the transmission. this just went from a potential 'oh let the sunnydale crew get her' to 'someone needs to get her now. ]

Anya, listen to me. That guy is dangerous, okay? I'll come and get you myself. My apartment is very near that place - wait for me, and until I arrive, don't even talk to anyone in person. All right?

[ this be the sounds of her going out of her apartment in a dead run. ]

[ voice | locked ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 06:10:56 UTC

[Well, that was not the reaction she expected. But she's more inclined to trust Cordelia than Harold Saxon due to Cordelia being a woman, so she ]

Well, all right. Bring clothes!

[ voice | location: sanctuary ] glowingseer September 5 2010, 06:18:55 UTC

...clothes. Right. She hatches clothes quickly, not bothering on the quality - for now, anything will do. True enough, ten minutes later Cordelia has arrived at the Sanctuary. She takes out her tablet and contacts Anya again.

"I'm here. Where are you?"

[ voice | location: sanctuary ] nomorevengeance September 5 2010, 06:24:20 UTC

Anya has since wandered out of the arrival room and found the front door. "I'm--" she pokes her head out of the door, then turns the tablet off. "Right here. Hello. Been a while. Good job not dying during the failed Ascension."
