Cleveland

"Right," Spike scoffed to himself, driving one-handed as he got off the freeway. "Like I'm going to stay behind while he carts his arse to Cleveland effin' Oh-Hell-Oh, to make kissy-faces at my - er - THE Slayer. Screw that."

She never loved you, a cruel voice whispered in his head. Already driving much faster than he should, Spike tromped his foot down on the gas of the Angel-filched vehicle, as if he could escape his own thoughts.

"What she ever saw in the Big Broody One, I'll never know," he muttered as he drove down the street. He drove in silence for a few minutes, only slowing down when it occured to him he had no idea where he was, let alone where he should head to.

He took a few random turns, main streets turning into side streets. By the time he reached a quiet cemetary, he was out of smokes and feeling rather morose.

Spike slammed on the brakes, and got out of the car. If this city really was a Hellmouth, the cemetaries ought to be crawlin' with nightlife -- of the Undead variety. Could be he'd luck out on some information, or chance across one of the old Scoobies themselves. At the very least, he ought to be able to rip apart a few nasties and find a place to hole up until tomorrow.

He grinned as he crossed paths with a couple fledges. The night was looking up.

Angel had found Faith and Buffy at the bus Terminal, getting attacked by a small group of vampires, which were quickly expunged.

Faith had gotten angry after the fight and left, leaving Angel and Buffy alone.
Which, sometimes, is a dangerous thing.

But not this time. Angel had left W & H- sorta- to find Buffy, and to find the new Hellmouth. Which had landed on Cleveland.

Angel had wanted to talk to Buffy, to find out everything she knew so far.
He found a decent place to have some coffee. They sat down and hoped to talk, but the silence was awkward and the tension was thick.

He attempted to break the silence.

"..How are things..? So far, I mean.."

((Open for the Buffster!))

A life of the undead.
Boring, boring, boring.

I thought the Hellmouth problem was solved with Spike.
I thought wrong.
Very wrong.

Evil has gotten more stubborn than usual.
To Cleveland.

Calm, peaceful Cleveland.
Man, how worse can it get?
All those people, all those lives..

I just hope I won't be too late.

W & H will stay behind. I can start another branch in Cleveland, I hope.
I know I'll still have the resources, so that's not a problem. It's just a problem of finding...

I stopped at a place where I knew someone was staying. A someone, I hoped, could help.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Buffy Summers?"
"I'm sorry Sir, she's out for the moment. May I take a message?"
I shook my head. "No, thanks. That's fine."

I also knew that Faith should be arriving by bus about now.
She refused to take any help from me, so... her normal route.

I stopped at the terminal and saw something that shocked me beyond belief.
Vampires? Out in the open?

I tapped one on the shoulder.
He knew me.
"Angelus? You've returned?"
I rolled my eyes mentally. Having a stake in my hand, I plunged it into his heart.
"Nope."
And I found then, both ladies I was looking for.
Let the carnage ensue.

I've created an OOC community for Cleveland Hell:
c_hell_ooc

Let's get to postin', ladies! ^_~

Cleveland? What's up with that?
I couldn't see any good coming out of this, but still.. I needed a place to stay and SD was totally gone.
I'd followed Buffy, sure. But to where, I had no idea and I had no idea why...

I stepped off the bus to my new horizon.

Hello players! Please introduce yourselves, who you'll be playing, and ideas for how to start this RPG up. I think we need to get our characters there and things set up before they deal with any major Big Bads. So, for now, we're just dealing with regular vamps. I think eventually things should get heated up cause they're pissed at the Slayer and the Potentials for stopping the apocalypse.

I'm Michelle, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Ohio. I'll be playing Buffy (stakeandshake) and Giles (english_guy). See above paragraphs for my thoughts on how to deal with this new RPG.

Also, do we want an 'OOC' journal as well? How do we want to post? I was thinking everything (action and journal-typeness) in one.
