IV: [Location: Hyperion] You spin me right round, baby, right round.

Wesley is drinking. It's not something he does very often and usually he exhibits quite a bit more self-restraint. Right now, though, he's going to town. He's hatched himself a bottle of Glenn Morgan single malt and is partaking rather generously ( Read more... )

Illyria glares balefully at the ghost that has attached itself to Wesley's arm. But she makes no move to swat it away; let the human deal with it on his own.

"You have summoned me. Why? And to this place, no less." This place, that she no longer visits - not after The Doctor has discovered her deception.

"Lorne and Cordelia have had some ominous visions. We think it's safer if everyone sticks together in small groups.

I've assigned myself as your 'buddy'."

He somehow suppresses the snort of amusement which rises up at the notion.

The demon clown and the seer. She has seen them on the tablets, but chose to ignore their warnings - Illyria is more than willing to battle whatever is coming.

"My... 'buddy'." She doesn't understand the concept behind this system, and the confusion is clear on her face and tone. "For what purpose? So that I may watch over you? Protect you?"

"It goes both ways, actually. Yes, I know that you're not exactly a fragile little flower. However, there's a possibility that our captors will try something catastrophic in the near future and may target our strongest or smartest people to prevent them from interfering. In case you haven't noticed, your powers are considerable."

He spins the cap from the bottle around in circles on the counter top.

"How very observant of you. What gave it away?" Wesley refills his glass and gives Angel a brittle sort of smile.

"Some ghosts aren't so easily banished, Angel. Like the ghost of Christmas Past." He looks down at the liquid in his glass for a moment, his earlier sarcasm fading away into a melancholic bitterness. "Were you aware that Faith has taken up with two vampires? Allowing them to feed on her as well?"

Okay, so that drinking binge with Gunn aside, Cordelia really isn't used to seeing Wesley as being less than his prissy self. Which is why it's such a surprise that, when she went down to the lobby, she sees British Boy seemingly on his way to Drunken Land.

"...Wes?" she says, coming closer to the counter now. "You okay?"

[ Location: Hyperion ] demonologist June 25 2010, 13:05:41 UTC

"I'm bloody marvelous. How are you?" She'll see through the facetious remark, but he's going to put up a token front anyway.

[ Location: Hyperion ] glowingseer June 25 2010, 13:10:22 UTC

"Oh, you know. Still able to remember my own name, holding on to my 'faculties', as they say... which is more than I can say to you."

Cordelia gives him an odd look before focusing her attention on the bottle of Glenn Morgan. "...what, pre-apocalypse days giving you the jitters?"

[ Location: Hyperion ] demonologist June 25 2010, 13:33:10 UTC

"No. I rather think it's the knowledge that I shall be dead a few months after Fred dies. And that I die failing to complete an important mission which is irking me right now. That and seeing Fred's corpse popping up everywhere as a reminder of how I failed her."

He pours more whiskey into his glass.

"Also, I forgot to add that Faith is screwing a couple of vampires and letting them drink her blood and they threatened to throw me out of her flat. Because she hates my guts and I'm to blame for everything negative which has happened to her previously. Did I mention that I failed her too?"

[ faith hesitates a good long while before deciding to reply to this. ]

Might wanna slow down there, English.

[visual] demonologist June 25 2010, 20:14:48 UTC

Wesley tries to hit the voice button and fails.

"No, I believe want to do nothing of the sort. Shouldn't you be saying 'Bottoms up'?"

He takes a swig from the bottle in defiance.

[ voice ] thesecondslayer June 25 2010, 20:20:33 UTC

Just saying. Whatever, do what you want.

[ a long gap goes here, where faith considers just turning off her tablet and letting this-- whatever this is-- end here. but as much as she's bitter, as much as she wants wes to remember he came to her when they needed to contain angelus, to remember that he cut her open just as much as she ever did him, she's also aware what went down the other day (no matter how satisfying it was to see godric get him tossed out on his ass was) was fucked up, just a little. ]

Like you told me, Wes. None of 'em are real.

[visual] demonologist June 25 2010, 20:28:10 UTC

"It's just rich coming from you. I seem to recall you were looking to do the same with a bottle of tequila. Blot out the memories."

Wesley chuckles mirthlessly.

"Do you see her? Winifred? I know she's not real. But knowing what's to come...Life isn't very fair. The sooner we both accept that, the better off we both will be."

He salutes her with the bottle.
