Not much to say and a million things to say all at once.
Sometimes you can't put things into words, no matter how hard you try, because words won't do them justice.

So, instead, you either say nothing or blather on about something else entirely.

Awkwardness with the not-quite ex-boyfriend is probably worse than awkwardness with an ACTUAL ex-boyfriend. He's weird around me... as a result, I'm weird around him. I don't like it, dammit.

Have been, uh, *bonding* with Illyria. I really don't quite know what to make of her. The whole looking like Fred thing is creepy, but then I think that at least Fred would be glad to know that her body wears anime boots. (Fred was weird.) And there's absolutely NO comprehension of how to relate to people on Illyria's part (though, Fred has been known to have similar problems at various points) but parts of me are incredibly amused by her penchant for violence. And I admire Illyria's ability to say exactly what she's thinking - a trait I value. It would be nice, however, if said thought didn't always involve entrails and eyeballs.

Basically, since Spike left and she'd been spending all of her time staring mournfully at the plants, I promised that I'd help her find a new pet. Problem is, she wants a pet that she can abuse, which means that kittens and puppies are pretty much out of the question, and I refuse to let her adopt a stray demon and keep it in the hotel. Gotta admit, Spike was good for something: Being a pet who WILLINGLY wanted to get the crap beat out of him while still being able to take the punishment and that wouldn't trash the Hyperion or mess up the rug.

Note to self: Annoy Cole about getting me a new identity. Do that this week. NO MORE PROCRASTINATION. WANT TO SHOP - and do something else.

Um, well, if you read his journal, you'd know that he is off following Buffy to the nation's armpit of Ohio.

He's with Buffy? Great! I am so happy for him! After all he did to save the world, he deserve some happiness. If you're back among the living, thus that mean that Wes is too? He is, right? Right?

I don't think he's FOUND Buffy, yet. He followed her out and that's the last I heard from him.

No, Wes isn't back. And technically, I'm still dead. Just... here dead and not... there dead.

Sorry.

Well, you've got to find something that is preferably not human, that no one can possibly feel any sympathy for, and can be broken and no one will ever look for it.

Would you consider a recently fired television network executive?

Ok.

Well, if there's a demon bar in town they could probably use a bouncer.

And let's face it, you guys need the income.

Check the personels of your local papers. I'm sure at least a few people are advertising for the type of relationship Illyria could provide. Some of them will likely provide their own collars and leashes.

Oh, you're here. Good.

I'm... well...

I need an identity. A legal one. One that will let me have a driver's license and a credit record and a passport... you know...

I need to be real, again. Legally real. Could you help me out? I figured you'd probably have a little more experience in this than Gunn would, anyway.

Yes, I...decided to come into the office late to catch up on some work.

A legal identity? I can arrange that. My own, after all, had to be altered somewhat, so I do have some experience in the matter. What's your date of birth?

I'll do what I can to keep the same birthdate for you then. It's generally easier that way...unless you'd like a few years shaved off?

I assume Angel wants you to have access to the corporate accounts (such as they are ow) as well? Tie the credit cards into that?



I...I'm all right. Just some personal business that was resolved tonight....

I'm only 23. I really don't need the years shaved off, yet, but thanks for asking. And, yes, I will have some access to the corporate accounts, but I'm hoping to eventually set up some of my own.

And okay. If you say so. But if you want to talk, I'm free.

I'll get a bank account set up for you as part of this. License, birth certificate, passport, credit cards...what kind of education background do you want?


...well, I've gathered you don't entirely approve of my relationships....

1) Spell.

2) Spell.

3) You brood a lot. Accept it. Live with it. Be at peace with your brood.

4) Spell.

5) Did I mention the spell? Really, I'm not one to judge other people's relationships. They are complicated and tricky things.

Yes, spell -- after all, that's where my rather unpleasant reaction came from as well. And yes, I do brood but not as badly as Angel I hope.


I guess it's no big secret that Morrigan and I were involved. We...put an end to it tonight.

And how do you feel about that? Relieved that you won't be torn between her and your wife anymore? Saddened for the end of something that lasted for ages? Somewhat rejected because it obviously wasn't you that ended it and you didn't want to see it go? Happy that at least you got to know her love, which is far better than never having done so? Missing that giant hole in your heart? Confused, because she resolved things for you instead of you resolving things for yourself?

Some of all of the above, I suppose. Morrigan was an important part of my life for decades and now...she's gone. My relationship with her was much different than my one with Phoebe...if I could've split myself in two to make them both happy I would've done it.

It's hard to be in two places at once. Whether it's physically or emotionally. In the end, you always have to choose, you know? And you never feel quite right about it because half of you always wants to be somewhere else, while the other half couldn't be happier to stay where you are.

I'm sorry.

I know, but...well, the choice is made and now I'll have to live with it.


Thank you. I'll see if I can get this paperwork set up for you as quickly as possible....

Just a wacky thought, but maybe Illyria isn't as upset about Spike leaving as she is about Wesley's death? I think the poor thing had a bit of a crush on him.
