Sunnydale, 1997Sun sets, and her routine starts. Some new, same old. By now, Darla has more or less recovered from the punishment the Master inflicted on her when she first returned to him, those two years in a cage, without blood. She's coherent, she's got her memories back, she's an effective hunter again. If she's not up to her old level of ( Read more... )

The downside of slaughtering an entire village was the utter lack of personnel available to arrange transport the next day. She hadn't said anything during the night, watching the boy, allowing herself the occasional treat as well, but it had occured to her. Something else had, too; this circumstance would allow her to decide what to do with her ( Read more... )

You know, both as human as and as a vampire I had an excellent reason for not having sex with Lindsey, and it wasn't the syphilis - which I only found out a few weeks before dying and getting sired yet again - or the lack of attraction; he is quite a dish, and I always had a weakness for self destructive brunettes.

*very locked from just about everyone, especially Angel*Of course, there is the stunningly obvious: I can't provide perfect happiness, and apparantly I never could. Frankly, I don't know what is more humiliating: the fact per se or that I still mind, several years after being told about it ( Read more... )

After the conversation with Kara, Darla feels the need for a drink. Several drinks, in fact. And something more urgent: a conversation with her darling boy about what the hell they should do about the Lex Luthor situation. Given that he now had managed to put them in his debt regarding Connor and was simultanously threatening to take Kara away ( Read more... )

Despite everyone's whining about the Great Depression, I personally thought the end of the 1920s was a hilarious time. Now the start of that decade, on the other hand, and the end of the previous one... I was truly depressed then. Maybe it was because I couldn't get the taste of all the influenza victims out of my teeth. Or because I felt redundant ( Read more... )

Mmmmm.... I think I managed to rebel against every law of nature by now. (Any claim about rebelling against societies' laws automatically begs the question: which society? Trust me, there were some which even managed to make orgies mandatory, which of course took out the fun of them and made the celibate life suddenly look attractive.) First of all ( Read more... )
