Alex Drake is disoriented in a way she hasn't been since she woke up in 1981 dressed as a prostitute. Her life's been one mess after another for the last few days, between Gene and Sommers and Chris and everything else that's been happening, but she's been getting better, too, sharper and stronger and clearer, and Molly's been so close she could ( Read more... )

Sometime around eight in the morning, Owen Harper is in the Kashtta Tower infirmary with his back to the door, cleaning and re-dressing a set of fairly deep healing clawmarks on his forearms. He's managed to keep them out of sight so far by washing them at odd hours and wearing long-sleeve shirts, because he doesn't particularly want to have a ( Read more... )

Mac is in the Kashtta Tower, specifically she is poking around the Tower like a cat trying to settle into its new surroundings, despite the fact that she's been here for over a week... It's a big tower and she started at the very top and worked her way down... Not that there's much at the top of the building, as she's found, which begs the question ( Read more... )

Sark is in a tree.

Yes, you read that right. This would make a great deal of sense if he were a ferret and some sense if he were a tiger, but, at the present moment, he is a person. In a tree.

The Doctor is just about through with people hurting his friends. True, it's not targeted attacks this time, just random wanderers, whoever they can find, but... he's actually not sure if that's better or worse. So he's made his way to a hospital where there are, in theory, three men who aren't entirely in touch with the world or, in fact, their ( Read more... )

In The Kashtta Tower, Andy Mackenzie is trying not to be too consistently paranoid in her ward's direction and has decided to make herself a cup of calming tea in the kitchen. Her wings are out, held tight against her back to keep them from twitching.

Dmitri Lang has invaded the lounge, tucking herself into a corner with a worn copy of A Brief ( Read more... )

They gave him his job back.

Considering they didn't usually get mechanics of his caliber, he hadn't really been worried, but it made matters a lot less difficult. That said, the trip'd been... necessary.

Because it wasn't there.

His house, the house he'd raised his boys in, the house he'd bought with Mary, it wasn't there. He'd thought, hell, ( Read more... )

In the training room at the Main Gauche, there's a Slayer with her Christmas present, going through a few sword exercises she remembers from before. It's been a while since she's had a sword in her hands, but now that she does... It's easier to fall back into than she would have thought. Muscle memory comes easily to Slayers ( Read more... )
