[ Location: Taxon Forest ] / [Accidental video ] - Timed before Buffy's arrival
Willow has not had a good couple of weeks. Buffy's gone. Andrew's gone (still a problem even if she didn't know him that well). Cordelia's gone. Angel doesn't remember Cordelia anymore. So much has been messed up and Willow is sick of it. She's pissed off at Spike for not caring enough, in her eyes, to want Buffy back. She's pissed off at Faith for going all leadershipy and yelling at everyone about trying to bring back what was rightfully Angel's to know. Doubly pissed off at both of them for yelling at her specifically about her magic.
Okay, sure, she's had a lot of it for a long time, but her motives are purely to help her friends! And if Lorne's really right about what happens after people disappear, heads will roll.
Mostly, though, Willow's hurting at the loss of so many people close to her. She's tired suddenly of everything to do with Taxon. And she figures if she can figure out how to bring people back here, she can send the rest of them home. Right now, that's all that matters.
So, she's taken time off the magic shop, told Tara she was going to walk around for a little bit, and headed out to the waterfalls with a few spellbooks and a lot of ingredients. The important part here is that she's going to open a portal to snatch Buffy out of whatever abyss of time and space she's gotten tugged into this time.
Sitting down on the ground, Willow begins preparations, spreading out her ingredients, making the circle, and preparing. It's about when she starts muttering words in Latin that she shifts and the tablet falls out of her pocket. Another shift and a rock nudges it on. Maybe a little help from the friendly aliens. She won't know until it's too late.
"-a... er...? I really suck at Latin, but that's not the issue here!"
She glances around, kicking the tablet further away. Those who are actually paying attention might notice that her eyes? Yeah, they've gone entirely black. This usually means Bad. Things. are happening.
The result doesn't happen until a few minutes later, after the power's surged through her. And then it explodes. Ingredients go flying. Willow's knocked backwards into a tree nearby. And the tablet's blasted back with her.
"Ow! ...ow... that hurt!"
Damnit. Maybe it didn't work...
So, Willow can be found crawling around, bleeding a bit, and generally looking pretty banged up as she tries to figure out WHAT THE HELL happened just now. Every so often, her head will appear in the tablet's view. Her eyes are back to being normal-colored.
[ooc: still tagging around Willow's other post, but with our new Buffy's arrival, this needs to get up now to progress things! For right now, all she's done is attempt to bring Buffy back. Angel's memory attempt will be later on, but feel free to assume she did that, too (LOOKIN AT YOU FAITH) Open to anyone, seriously. Have at :3]
