Seriously...

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

I've got an entire law firm pretty much working full time on driving me nuts.

You really don't need to help them. Honest.

[ Some encounters with canonmates has left the Dark Avenger a little shaken. ]

Comments

sup today you get later canon Spike for souled shenanigans

[bigbad]

They're still trying? Here I thought they'd succeeded by now.

it's almost as if you like me or something

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

[ Oh. Great. Just what he needs. ]

Not a good time, Spike.

[ If only he could believe for even a second that there was a chance in hell that saying that would make Spike leave him alone... ]

nah it's hatred. all the hatred.

[bigbad]

Should I ask your secretary to schedule a better time? Oh, wait. Forgot how little I cared for a moment.

ah, that makes sense

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

We've been over this, I care less. So go away.

[ There is always time in his schedule for acting like a five-year-old around Spike. ]

[bigbad]

Why would I when me being here bugs you so much?

[Well Spike can act more like a five-year-old so THERE.]

and you get later canon buffy too bc yeah

[slay]

Yeah-huh. Now, would that be the evil law firm you signed on with, or is there another I should know about?

/weeps

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

Not that I know of.

[ And that's about all he has to say on the subject. ]

w/e you love it

[slay]

Right. So, one wouldn't be entirely out of line to suggest that's the kind of crazy-driving you invited upon yourself. Which really just leads a gal to wonder how far the drive was to "nuts" to begin with.

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

You can suggest whatever the hell you want.

[ He's not even going to protest it much. Not even going to point out that the crazy-driving began long before he ever made the deal. ]

[slay]

[ she shakes her head, almost like she's just mourning his decision and criticizing him for it all at once. ]

What the hell are you doing, Angel?

[hungryanhorny]

Something under your skin?

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

You could say that, yeah.

[hungryanhorny]

This the sorta thing we talk about, or do we just pretend we hugged? [He's lucky the mun didn't give him vampire willow...]

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

[ Mun's lucky too because she really needs to study up on what happens in Buffy. Is an Angel fan. ]

There's just been... a lot to take in lately.

[whycantistay]

Didn't think we were that bad. At least not all of us. Wasn't like I got to see you much outside of the lab. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

It was nice having a lab. My lab. [Her smile is bright, but it doesn't reach her eyes.]

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

Oh, Fred...

[ He... has no idea what to say at all. This is far beyond the scope of his emotional competence. ]

[whycantistay]

Oh, no. I only meant to say hi, make you smile. [An impossible feat when the guy liked to brood.]

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

[ Oh! Okay, he can smile. Probably. Let's try it. ]

Thanks. Kind of needed that actually.

[at_stake]

I think you're falling on deaf ears there.

[Narrows eyes ever-so-slightly.]

So... how's it going at Evil Incorporated?

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

Don't spend that much time there, actually.

[ Mun prefers to play from earler seasons. ]

But we're doing just fine.

[at_stake]

And you're out doing... what, exactly?

[Awkward laugh -- trying to make light of this but not quite succeeding.]

Well, that's... good? I think?

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

Right now I'm out getting very, very confused.

And yeah, it's good. [ Not that he's actually sure of that, but he's not about to tell Buffy that. ]

Sensitivity, what is sensitivity.

[knowsaboutviscera]

Yeah, we really wouldn't want you to lose it. What with you being a mass murderer when off the rails and all.

That thing she decided to skip?

[aingeal_coimhdeachta]

[ ... ]

Right.

[ Seriously, what more do you say to that? It's not like she's wrong or anything. ]

[knowsaboutviscera]

So you're aware. Good.
