Buffy The Vampire Slayer (OOC/Casting)

Italy 12 Noon

Much has lurked in the shadows, much has lurked in the darkness. But one thing that was happening demons were coming back. Vampires starting to come back, demons of all kinds. Buffy and the gang know that much is needed in this world, since the source of evil was killed all the girls in the world could become slayers. But because Buffy and the others were trained they were the people for the job. There job going to England where Giles people are in trouble. Because he was a watcher and the others in the group he was with are being killed one by one. Someone said there was a powerful witch in the area her name Anna Hope. A strange name but no one knows if there is any story to this.

Italy 3pm Air Lines

The gang got everything together and headed to England a pretty long flight, Buffy talking to her friends and yet she saw Giles he looked worried. She vowed to not let anything to him because if he was to die, she wouldn't be happy. He was like a father to her, a father who treated her like his daughter. She rested her head on Giles shoulder, sighing some. "Giles its going to be ok, nothing is going to happen to you and we will help the others.

England Midnight

Hope got what she needed she was ready to bring Darla back, she smirked some "Through darkness and through hell, I command thee Darla come to me, be reborn in my words take your form for who you used to be, your power ten times as powerful as what you died with" Her words echoed and soon a rumble was heard, did it work?

Longinus stood waiting. He wasn't sure what he was waiting for, but there he was, in England, waiting for something. He had heard of the disappearance of several of the Watchers. Not that he really cared. They were a nuisance to him. He didn't like the idea of anyone knowing what had happened to him. He looked around at the buildings surrounding him. Two thousand years, and only the face of the world had changed. He'd seen empires and nations rise and fall, monuments erected and torn down, and through it all, it was hard not to become just another piece of history. As he was thinking that, he felt the use of magic from nearby. He wasn't sure exactly where, but he felt it bore investigation. So he followed the sense. Maybe it was his immortality, but he could sense such things.

Regardless, he knew something was happening, something that could prove dangerous. It was with that knowledge, the wisdom of two millenia of experience, that he ran along the streets, checking to make certain his gladius was loose in its scabbard. He could have easily carried something more effective, but he carried the gladius around when he wasn't in battle. He had managed to remain out of history's sight for a long time, mainly by adapting to the circumstances of the times. He had learned early on in his immortality that adaptation and anonymity were instrumental in his survival. Still, he had the sudden wish that he hadn't left some of the firearms he'd collected over the last couple of centuries at home in the flat he had purchased.

Xander

Alexander was adjusting his black tie in the mirror when Grey walked in without knocking. That was ok, Grey owned the condo, and Alexander lived there at Grey's suffering at an embarrassing low rent. Not knocking was part of the arrangement.

He looked Alexander up and down. Alexander knew he looked damn good in the tux, but Grey just tutted. "The eye patch. Aren't you going to wear it tonight? It makes you look so hot."

"No," Alexander said, blushing a bit. "Merry said it makes people uncomfortable." The blush wasn't exactly because Grey had complimented him, he had gotten used to that months ago.

"Making people uncomfortable is one of the perks of being Queer, Alexander." Grey smiled disarmingly. "That girl is ruining you. She's a bitch."

"Yes," Alexander sighed, "But at least she's human."

Grey's face drained of its blood and his jaw dropped open to his chest: a rare occurance when there wasn't a dick in front of it. "What the hell do you mean by that," he snarled a moment later.

Alexander did a double-take, stammered. "What did I say?"

Grey poked him in the chest. "You implied that I wasn't human."

Alexander looked startled. Or he continued to look startled. Lately, he had not felt very bright. "I did?"

"Yes, you did. You implied that your television producer bitch was more human than I was and I don't know why you'd say that... didn't I rescue you from Old Navy jeans and thrift shop finds...?"

Suddenly, Alexander got it. "OH! No! No! Do you remember how I told you that I was from Sunnydale, California?"

"No," Grey said a little tartly, "You told me you were from Milan and learned perfect accentless English by watching old Star Trek reruns."

Alexander had to smile at that, but he still managered to frown as he said, "No... that's just what you told your friends."

Grey smiled at that, "Yes, so I did. It was the only way I could explain all those Star Trek quotes."

Alexander rolled his good eye. The more expensive one just stared at Grey as he flopped onto a comfy chair. "I was quoting Star Wars, but that's besides the point. Do you remember me telling you how every girl I dated turned out to be a demon, a pyscho, vampire, or giant preying mantis?"

"That sounds vaguely familiar."

"Do you remember how I told you I thought it was just because my hometown was situated over the Hellmouth?"

Grey tutted. "We ALL think our hometowns are hellish places, Alexander."

"You do realize that I'm not exagerating, right?" Alexander paced the room... actually his walk-in. "Even after Sunnydale fell like a stack of cards, I still ended up with women out of the Twilight Zone."

Grey stood up lithely. "Alexander Harris, that's because women are the same where ever you go." He placed his girlish hands on Alexander's crotch and let it linger there for just a heartbeat. "Men, too, for that matter."

Zee stood inline waiting for her turn with the 'meat man'. Zee smiled as the boy infront of her made faces at her. She loved children. She stuck her tongue back out at him.
Zee felt somthing strange go through her. A kind of thump followed by silence. Zee looked out into the night. A group of 'punks' went running past. Zee could smell that they were vampires. Not long after a young girl came running down the street after them. Hmm, Slayers are out. But that wasn't what bothered Zee. Something was going on. For week, no months, strange things had been happening. It was all over the 'Underground' scene. Watchers had gone missing. Bodys found hacked to bits. Rain of blood. Horses going mad. All the signs of evil.
Zee smiled at John as he handed her the 'usuall.' He gave her a worried look.
"Best be careful, miss. Word is the things that go bump in the night are all in a fit over something. Hear rummers of the old ones coming to town."
Zee nodded and paid. The sooner she got to her hotel the better. Tommorow, she would venture into the lions den and face The Slayer.

Faith

Faith looked around and didn't want to think of her past to much.. she still had the edge to her.. she didn't take no shit from anyone and never would.. not many people knew that Faith was bi sexual and nor did she want anyone to know either.. she was a closed type of gal and didn't need to impress anyone.

She stood waiting for the bus, all she wanted was to save the world some more as she took a long deep breath.. she thought this part of her life was over. and now here she was going to see her old friends once again. She sighed as the bus pulled up and took her things onto it.http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...fy The Vampire Slayer/Faith/Faithcmereyou.png(Pic of Faith)

Channon felt a strange compulsion today to buy a plane ticket to London, not even thinking she picked up the phone in her small apartment calling to book her flight for the next international fight to the UK city she hated the most.

Getting to the airport was a breeze, all she had to do is ride the bus there with a small amount of luggage and get on the plane. She decided to not pack much and just go shopping there. So on the the bus in route to the airport she made rooming arrangements with a college friend of hers that had nice sized flat right in the middle of London itself.

Hours later, getting off the plane she felt the need to run out of the city as fast as possible, however her friend was right there picking her up and ready to take her to the flat to get settled in and that just made the feeling go away for the time being. She knew about Buffy and her friends and knew about their operations from running into them years ago in a vampire fight and could never forget that day since she found out that there were such things as demons and vampires.

DArla

Darkness faded to light as a surge of pain raced though her body. She creamed into the darkness.

Since she had died at the hands of Angel in order to save their son, there had been nothingness. Just peace. That was all she wanted now. There had been too many years of chaos and destruction.

Now there was pain. She could feel the energy rush though her body. It was a powerful energy, stronger than anything she had felt before. For some reason it felt good and she felt strong.

Darla opened her eyes to find herself laying in the middle of a stong floor draped in a velvet gown of old. It was not much different thatn the one she had worn the night her sire had taken her into his relm.

"Where am I" She wispered aloud. She felt weak. sustanance was needed. She craved blood and sex and all other carnal pleasures in the world.

"I brought you back" A wisper came from the shadows outside the candlelight."Dring from be and regain your stength"

She did just that.

The girl moved into the light and layed her body back into Darla's lap. DArla leaned in and let her teeth sink into the girl's neck. The extasy that came next was pleasure. She coould feel the girl's blood flow though her veins as she drank. She took enough to regain her strenght but not enough to kill the girl.

"I want you to live my dear. Be my guide to this new world."

-Hope-

Hope smiled as she showed herself to her allowing her to feed from her body, the feeling fangs in her neck made her aroused but slowly stood up. Helping her up, she looked into her eyes. Hope smiled as she extended her arm out to her so she could hold her arm and keep her balanced if she was feeling dizzy. A nice sweet suggestion. "Not much has changed since your death.....my name is Hope" She said softly.

-Buffy-

B was off doing her own thing right at the moment, she didn't know where anyone was and it was hard for her. She missed Spike and wished he was there with her, they had there problems but he was a vampire that risked everything to be with her. And what did she do? hurt him, she closed her eyes as she sat out on a park bench, listing to people around her wondering where everyone was, but she felt evil in that moment.

Faith

Faith began thinking of Angel why she wasn't sure.. they were only together briefly but in that time he saved something in her soul... she wondered about Buffy... her and Buffy were close at one time until Faith turned into a bitch.. but they became close again in the faces of danger and darkness.. she made her way to find Buffy and see how she was doing since everything had happened.

-Buffy-

She caught sense of someone coming towards her she had a stake just in case but her eyes went wide seeing who it was. It was Faith, yes they had fought many times, good fights and bad ones. She stood up tucking her weapon away and walked over to her. "Faith?" She said with a smile, at the end Faith was there for her and her arms slipped around Faith as she held her, which was foolish because she had no idea what side she was on, good or bad.

The Big Bad Arrives

::The scene unfolded and the events were in place now, his plane had landed in England and there was a smirk on the face of the man. Dressed in the cloak as the night would begin to slowly roll over when he stepped out of the plane. He was hired by the big bad first evil to take care of the "little" problems it had been having with the slayers and this man was up to the task. He had no real powers per say except those in the fields of sexual magic. A smirk on his face as he would pull the shades off and got into his car, in the passenger side was the first evil, now taken the form of the oh so familar Buffy as he smiled to her::

"Are the plans set Jon? Are you sure you can handle this task?"

"Yeah, it would be no problem now, I mean how hard would it be to take out a slayer and her goofy sidekicks, I should have this taken out in a week tops"

::They would make small talk, some strategy on how to take down the scoobies and the slayers. He wasn't aware that Faith was in England too but he would find that out. The car would now stop at the bar and out stepped the man, opening the door as a small breeze would blow through and he entered through the door, a cloak obscurring the view of his. Taking a seat down at the table, his eyes slowly darting across the room waiting as he ordered a beer and recieving it, tipping the bartender and beginning to down the nice alcoholic beverage::

Xander

Alexander looked at his friend and, fleetingly, wished that he was gay. Everything would be so much simpler. Of course, had he loved Grey, the man would have dropped him months ago and run screaming into the night. Nothing ever was THAT simple, afterall.

"You don't like her, I know." Alexander said, thinking about how Cordie and Merry were alike in many ways. Except that he and Cordelia had started with years of tension and conflict that had burst into a strange kind of intense sexual attraction. Merry had always gotten along with him... the sexual tension started when Merry had been told by a third party that Alexander was gay. It was like a challenge to her, he assumed.

He was a challenge. Several of would be fag hags had thrown themselves at him since he had remade himself with Grey's help. Still, Merry had chops and for some reason, Alexander had allowed himself to get to know her better.

"Oh. I like her just fine, Hon. I just wish she wasn't such a bitch, but you like being dommed a little bit." Grey fixed Alexander's tie, not that it needed fixing. It was one of Grey's intimate gestures, where as copping a feel meant almost nothing. "I worry that you are backsliding a bit."

Longinus stopped, the sense of magic gone suddenly. He looked around, and found himself wandering the streets. He turned around slightly, and almost tripped over two young women. Cursing in Latin, he shook his head, righted himself, then bowed low. "My apologies, ladies. I didn't see you there."

OOC: tag Buffy, Faith

Faith

Faith smiled at Buffy gently, she looked good considering all that had happened in the past.. and Faith was shocked even more so when Buffy had hugged her, but Faith didn't hesitate she hugged her friend back, they had a love hate relationship.. ''Okay B enough with the hugging...'' She said witha grin.. same Faith.. sweet yet fierce.

She laughed some "Still the same Faith I see" She felt someone push by them and that he apologized she smiled "Its ok" She felt something within that person. "How have you been Faith?" she also had a feeling for Faith one that was hidden deep within herself but being there now she sighed. So many things she wanted to say to her but couldn't because of her pride.

Faith

''You know me B.. but I am changed you don't have to worry about me trying to destroy the world again'' She said with a hint of a smile and laugh.. she was really messed up back then But Buffy seemed to know her better than anyone. ''Me you know taking it easy... how about you?'' She asked concerned Buffy still looked like Buffy.. but she herself was a changed woman.

She smiled "Im good, same shit different day" She sat down and looked up at the sky. "Evil is back, and me and the rest of the guys are here in England, something bad is going to happen and it may be bigger then the hell mouth" She said simply, looking at her she wondered what it was like to be evil, she gave her a smile, trying to not say something stupid.

Faith

''I like evil.'' Faith said and looked over Buffy damn the girl did look good.. ''But then again I was always one for kicking some evil ass'' She said looking arpund for a moment. ''As long as your here Buffy we'll take care of whatever it is no worries B'' She was the only one that called Buffy B.

Channon was feeling restless and decided to take a walk evening to catch some fresh air and before she knew it, it was getting dark out. She knew was lurked in the dark, but didn't really care anymore, she just kept walking around the area as though she were tempting fate.

Longinus had been about to leave when he heard what they were talking about. He turned to watch them, one hand staying near the hidden sheath under his long coat. He didn't want trouble, but something told him that it followed these two girls around. Something was nagging at him, too. Something he had read a couple of centuries ago. He couldn't figure out what though.

"Not much has changed since your death.....my name is Hope"

"Hope" She spoke the name out loud. She took the outstretched hand and found her balance on her shaky legs.

"I've been gone too long, yet I kinda enjoyed it." she smiled at the peace she once feld in the void of nothingness. "But I like this feeling even more."

She felt the surge of energy flow though her as if it was lighting that had brought her back.

"Hope where is Angelus? We have some unfinished buisness. It would be so grand to see him again."

Zee walked down the street on edge. Since arriving in England, nearly two months ago, things hade been strange. It was as if a shroud had fallen over the world. The 'First' had lost his army sometime ago, and had seemed to drop away. Zee knew about the whole LA disaster. What W&H had been think was beyond her. They should have know Angel would never truly work for them. As for his fellow vampire, Spike, that was just wierd. Zee smiled at the thought of William. They had been around each other a time or two. And if the rumor mill was true, he hadfinally dumped Crazy and moved on to something better, a Slayer.
Zee came to a stop as something, or more to the point, Someone's energy came over her. It was old, very old. Her sire had know this person and passed on the knowledge of him to her. Zee shivered. This was a problem. If Longinus was here, nothing good was going to happen. Though, often not his falt, death followed Longinus. Zee moved quickly toward her rooms.
Zee set her blood in the cooler and grabbed a bag. Moving to the window she looked out. There two blocks away was Slayer Central. The very place that tommorow, or more over later tonight, she would seek entrance into. Zee looked over at the bag on her couch. Rupart Giles would want what was inside, and would make a deal with the devil to get it. Ze had found the lost Watcher's Diary's not two months after she had been turned in the home of a Southern General. Zee had just barely made it out alive, with the Slayer at her heels. A cannon ball had ride her of both Slayer and Watcher later that night. Zee had studied the books and learned what it was the Council had been hidding.
Zee shivered once again as she felt a mutitude of slayers go by. Tommorow would be here soon enough.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I can not change. Things will change tommorow. For the better or worse. , Zee thought as she snapped the window shades shut.

~Buffy~
She nodded "yes I know that Faith but sometimes its hard, evil is every place and in everyone that I know, but I was hoping after the hell mouth unnatural evil would just vanish, guess I was wrong to hope" She sighed a bit, leaning her head on Faiths shoulder she needed to be comforted but no one could comfort her. Her mother was gone, Spike missing, she didn't know what to do.

~Hope~

Looking at Darla she finally heard about Angel, she knew Darla would ask for him and she wasn't able to tell him much. "Unfortunately my lady before I brought you back ive been searching for him for over a year, ive heard rumors of him being dead, but even I know it is extremely difficult to kill him, he is missing, he lived in L.A but now no one has seen him, I think he is laying low"

Faith

Faith sighed as Buffy leaned her head against her... ''Look B... we've had our differences... but you've always been the one person that seemed to care for me... and to me thats alot..so if you need me I am here'' She said gently as she looked at Buffy a little more softer than before.

Longinus raised an eyebrow, then shrugged, and started back past them. He decided he should probably head home. Then he realized the honorable thing to do would be to ask them if they had a place to stay. "Pardon me, but you two don't seem to be from around here. Might I inquire as to whether you have a place to stay?"
