024: [ visual | location: Streets of Taxon ] End of the World as We Know It

[glowingseer]

Okay, so maybe ever since that incident she'd been a little afraid to go outside the hotel. Not that she'll admit this to anyone, but that was the sad, twisted truth - the mere sight of Extras still freak her out a bit. But a few weeks have already passed and she was fine now and, well, it'll take a lot more than that to take Cordelia Chase down

Kaylee feels as though she's been scrambling for her tablet a lot lately, but most times it's for River. The mechanic's a little surprised to see Cordelia's face this time. She grabs up the tablet and starts looking the seer over.

"Cordelia? Y'alright? Need anythin'?"

She's a bit calmer now, thanks to her talk with Fred and Angel. Still, Cordelia's on edge and the images are stuck in her brain and she can't get them out.

"I'm--" She bites her lip to keep from lashing out on Kaylee. It's not the mechanic's fault that she doesn't know Cordelia actually hates being asked if she's alright. "No. I don't need anything."

Just something that will save them all, thanks.

It really is one of those questions that everyone knows is kind of stupid no matter the case, but everyone asks it anyhow. Way people work, maybe.

Kaylee chews on the inside of her lip for a moment, unsure, but eventually nods. "Just let me know if you do, yeah?"

Cordelia sighs, then runs a hand through her hair. "Sorry," she says softly. "I'm just... I'm just a little on edge, here. You know?"

[a_pretty_fire]

You saw it as well.

[Voice]

[glowingseer]

[ oh, on any ordinary day Cordelia would have thrown her tablet away just for broadcasting your voice, Drusilla. But now... ]

...wait. What do you mean--

[ click. ] Oh, god. Not you, too.

[Voice]

[a_pretty_fire]

[Which wouldn't have stopped Drusilla from trying to talk to her, of course.]

A city of the dead.

[Voice]

[glowingseer]

[ well gosh freakin' damnit.

she whispers:] Exactly. Just the way you want it, right?

[Visual] Also a placeholder due to work ;_;

[demonologist]

"Cordelia! What just happened? Did you have a vision?" His expression is one of deep concern and alarm. He's in his apartment, but it's clear he's ready to spring into action to get to her.

[Visual] sooooob T__T

[glowingseer]

"Wes..." She swallows heavily, fighting for control. "I... I think you need to come here. Now."

[Visual] Stupid work today too. <3

[demonologist]

"Of course! I'm on my way." He informs Cordy, heading quickly for the door. He knows she'll be safe at the hotel, Angel and Fred are likely tending to her, but Wesley can't help feeling like he ought to have been there for her when the vision struck. He knows it's irrational but it's still how he feels.

Eventually he arrives at the Hyperion and rushes to her side. "How are you feeling? Do you need anything? How bad is the pain this time?"

[ location: hyperion hotel ] Aww! it's okay, bb!

[glowingseer]

She's been cradling her head, scraping her vision for any usable information, when Wesley arrives.

"Pain--" Then she looks down at her palms, and notices a few scrapes on them, and on her knees too. "...you mean when I fell?"

...apparently someone forgot to tell you some relatively changes that happened with her, too, Wes.

[ cordelia spends the next few seconds staring at her tablet, trying to place whom the voice belongs to... then she does recognize connor, and, well, awkward. ]

...Connor, hi. You, um... know about my visions?

[ duh, cordy. although this might be her trying to protect him from joining the worry brigade, too. ]

[ voice ]

[glowingseer]

[ well, there goes that attempt.

cordelia sighs. ] Yeah, it was. A big one, too. First time since-- [ she had a vision of his father regaining his soul. ] --in a few months, I mean.
