eachdraidh | [video] open to both courts

I'm looking for someone. [ no doubt, a tried and true phrase the lockets have played before. Connor tacks a piece of paper to the locket so that everyone can see his drawing of a demon. it's sketchy and messy, but a pretty good likeness considering he was being beaten up during his confrontation with it. guess he inherited one more thing from his father's side. ]

He's over seven feet tall and made completely out of stone. And he's mine. [ and by the look on his face and the tone of his voice, that clearly means MINE TO KILL >:[ !!!! but the sassmasters of eachdraidh are welcome to poke fun at him anyway. he lowers the paper, revealing the rest of him and the lovely decoration scheme caer scima's rocking. ] He'll try and kill you, but I don't have to really warn you guys about that, huh? From what I've heard of this place, that's what we're supposed to be doing.

[ killing each other!!! guess who hasn't been given the 'make love, not war' lecture of his life. there's no clear sign on his face that explains what he thinks of that exactly. He moves to turn off the locket and hesitates. ]

I want to know. [ how do I get out, who can I beat up right now, where can I find Angel -- ] Who's winning the war?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Very. [ usually. ] He and me. We...used to run in the same crowds. It was no biggie.

[ understatement of the freaking year. ]

[ understatements all around!! but that resonates in him. at least, the 'used to' sounds familiar. for a moment, he hesitates ]

Same crowds like... vampires? [ was that an attempt at humor??? probably. he's got angel's awkward smile down pat, at least ]

[ kid you are disarmingly charming in that poorly socialized way that should be really damn familiar but she can't quite place! ]

Oh my God. No. I mean -- yeah, but only in the co-staking capacity. I promise I'm fang free.

[ she'll never figure it out ]

Guess that makes the two of us then. [ sure she could be lying, but hey, knowing Angel sometimes gives people a free pass. ]

That's a relief.

[ you're pretty endearing already, connor. and she would have to have to end you. ]

[ and then in a separate thread connor discovers that spike is a vampire. he's silent, just long enough for it almost become awkward before he speaks up, one hand carding through the back of his hair ]

You'll keep it in mind, right? [ quickly ] The Beast. He's broken through dimensions before, so it might happen again.

Trust me. Now that I've seen that face? [ even if just in drawing format. ] I'm not about to forget it. Consider my ear to the ground, Connor. If he pops up you'll be the first to know.

[ well. second. ]

[ the tension leaks out just a little from his shoulders ]

Thanks. [ it's genuine. a place as big as the drabwurld meant that he wouldn't be around 24/7 to check ] He's my responsibility. [ 'I don't want anyone else to get hurt.' wolfram & hart had been his fault, before angel had said it wasn't. but the beast had followed him there, hadn't he ]

People here probably have enough to deal with as it is.

We do seem to have landed ourselves in a pickle. Y'know. Inter-dimensional conscription and all that jazz. You know you don't have to fight their war if you don't wanna.

[ she isn't. ]

[ he purses his lips, reminded. ]

Not planning to. [ got better things to do, except he kind of doesn't. ] How about you?

I'm not known for toeing other peoples' drill lines. So no. It's not on my day-planner. Or my night-planner.
