After having spent a long time just trying to keep people safe and work on the stupid ritual while insane vamp number two ran around town on the loose, Willow was feeling... not quite the happiest. Her glitch was bad enough. The zombies almost right after had made her feel like the aliens were punishing her for her stupid magic going crazy. Now this? This made her feel like a combination of retribution owed her and worried that it was tempting her too far. Scuffing her foot at the floor of her room, she tried again, chanting the stupid spell in Latin and willing the Orb to start glowing and doing its magic mojoy thing.
"Argh!" she yelled, stomping on the ground and sending Colette fleeing for her life under the bed.
Knowing she was going to end up doing what Dawn had said she'd wanted to do eventually - which was throw one of the Orbs at the nearest wall and watch it shatter into a thousand glistening pieces - Willow grabbed her bag of books and orbs and everything else she needed for this spell and headed out of the room.
Her first stop was to find Tara. She remembered something about food and drink, but after all the attempts at the Ritual of Restoration, she couldn't quite come up with what had happened when and where Tara had said she'd be. For all Willow knew, Tara was just outside the room. Or she might be at Tamper and Trick or the Library again.
Next stop was to see this tomb. Maybe being closer to where Angelus was trapped would help her concentrate better. Stupid aliens and their stupid rules and stupid glitches. With all this crazy stuff going on, she almost missed Sunnydale. At least Sunnydale's logic usually had rules to go with it. Taxon's logic just seemed to be screw with the lab rats until they all scream bloody murder and claw at each other.
Or get zombified. Whatever worked.
Eventually, she pulls out her tablet and makes an audio feed. "Okay. Head count. How is everyone doing? No one's gone off and died on us, right?"
Forgive her for being frank, Taxon; she's not so amused. She will also apologize for her glitch... later. Not feeling it currently.
Once Angelus has been captured in the tomb, Willow will make it over to the church ruins she'd been directed towards to figure out how the hell to keep going from here. There's the Ritual. And then there's opening the seal. And that... that will be tricky.
And requires another post. "So, uh... Taxon... any mojo-y people out here got a little energy to spare?"
The place gives her the creeps, but then again, she's been to many, many places in Sunnydale that have given her this kind of feeling. The war down under the Intiative's base was definitely one of them. Setting up camp down under there, she stares at the walls and sighs.
"Okay, Tara... I guess it's back to work, huh?"
[ooc: OKAY. SO, this is the Angelus got trapped in a tomb, what the hell do we do now post. Basically, Willow and Tara will be tag teaming the Ritual of Restoration until it finally works. As far as encountering Willow: she can be reached on the tablets at any of the two points, just be sure to mark it in the subject line so I can be sure which it is XD I AM EASILY CONFUSED. She can also be encountered in person after she leaves Castle Summers and any time after that, including reaching the tomb. There may also be a wild Tara involved here, too.
Angelus will get re-ensouled during this post, too, so there may be a thread for that stemming out of Tara and Willow getting frantic |D
If you want to meet up with Willow at some point at the tomb, that's fine, too. I am pretty much flexible. She will just be pretty focused until Angelus gets his soul back.
Questions, etc, feel free to ask here or on the
planning post which I will now go track! XD]
