{Conrad Hotel Basement party thread!}The headwaitress at the Conrad hotel has seen an awful lot in her time working there. Angels, demons, shapeshifters, elementals who weren't aware they were elementals, and, on one particularly notorious occasion, an elemental who seemed to only be able to work with balsamic vinaigrette ( Read more... )

In Grant Park, hidden in the shade of a group of trees, there's an angry hellhound. Missy's been spending her nights in her behemoth form, sleeping in the shade of the trees and picking off nighttime strollers when she can find them. She's actually in the process of chewing on the remains of one of those said strollers, her teeth and muzzle, ( Read more... )

Sam has been trying to think, and as sitting at his desk and brooding hasn't helped, this involves a lot of pacing, up and down the halls of the tower, through the empty halls no one's ever really used, and the ones still marked with bullet holes because no one has the time or cares enough to do something about that, and that one rusted hallway ( 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... )

The Doctor has finally wandered back to the house, and while he's sure he had something he meant to say to Des... he's currently distracted by the mess that's been made of the living room, and the disgruntled whistler grumbling (in a... whistly type way) and clinging to his legs like she's trying to trip him up... or possibly just alert him to the ( Read more... )

In Chicago, there is a bank. In fact, there are many banks in Chicago. This one is noteworthy in the fact that it houses Black December, the Organization's infamous terrorist cell, which means it only looks like an ordinary bank in theory. Inside... Well, okay, it's still an ordinary bank until you realize that the main elevators only go up seven ( Read more... )

Sometime between receiving a very disturbing journal entry and this very moment, Sark involuntarily became a ferret and not even an averaged sized one at that- oh no, he's a ferret the size of a slightly elongated rat, and this would bother him if his brain weren't in a current state of panic, which, unfortunately, is easier to deal with when one ( Read more... )

There are things the Doctor has to do before leaving the state. Martha's busy stealing borrowing them a car anyway, and Donna's taking care of Emily, and he left Des with a map and a bunch of scribbled notes, so maybe by the time the Doctor gets back to the house, they'll actually know where they're going. The Doctor, for his part, is wandering. It ( Read more... )

And thus the Doctor pokes the Rift.

And thus the Rift responds everywhere. For the sake of this particular post, specifically the Kashtta.

At the very moment that the Doctor's prodding caused the Rift to react, somewhere in the tower's sub-basement, its Rift spits out a black duffel bag with so much force it slides across the floor, just missing ( Read more... )
