Hey guys...sorry about the delay. Moving into a new apartment and just got interwebs installed. I'm going to try to have something of Wesley's up in the next day or two. Just wanted to let someone know. Sorry about the delay.

I had an old laptop that a cat peed on. The smell never, ever came out. It was the worst when it had been running hot for a while. Enjoy

But in just a few hours, we will be able to say: The Riley comic is out this month!Speaking of, is there a solid release date on that? I didn't see it on the shipping list for Wednesday and Buffy usually comes out the first week of the month. I have it shipping to arrive Wednesday, August 18.

”Fred.”
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce’s last mortal thought. Everything faded to black in front of him as Fred—no, Illyria—held him in her arms. It wouldn’t be okay.
In a way, he was almost glad. His life hadn’t been much to speak of. Wesley remembered only the worst of his childhood. All his life, he grew up with the knowledge that someday, he would be a Watcher. A guardian of the Slayer, instrumental in the fight against evil. How beautifully that turned out.
It was these last years only that he could look on with any sense of pride. He had friends. No, a family. He had finally found his place at the side of Angel and his rag-tag team of do-gooders. It wasn’t much, but it made him happy, and even more so when he met the woman of his dreams.
But she was gone.
And he didn’t want to live with that anymore.
”Too bad.”
Everything was white. Wesley had been here before, and he really hadn’t been in a hurry to get back.
”Standard perpetuity clause.”
It’s amazing how something you have full knowledge and expectation of can still surprise you at the worst moment.
”Lilah,” he whispered as he stood up.
”Wesley. So good to see you again. Listen, the Senior Partners are transferring me again, but as I have some experience here, I wanted to personally transfer the job over to you before I leave. “
She glided over to Wesley, did a once-over, and spun about.
”Welcome to Hell, Wesley. Your new assignment: Liaison between the Partners and the L.A.—sorry, the Hell—branch here. The Partners will be in contact with instructions when they’re available. Tsk tsk tsk, all that work trying to free me, and you signed one of them yourself.”
Wesley stood dumbfounded. His face was the utter image of loss—torn from that for which he had so eagerly awaited.
”Well, it’s been lovely catching up. Listen, I’ve got a new client waiting at our new branch. Separate Hell dimension. I trust everything will go…swimmingly…here.”
And just like that, she was gone. All that was left on the mahogany table was a slip of paper.
”Angel.”

"Speechless" - Lady GaGa. I swear to god, she's all I listen to lately. "Speechless" is so underrated. I think it's brilliant though; one of my favs!

Awesome! I love that idea. Seems we all like it, about. SO! Angel Season Six, in episode format.Now, let's assign characters. For now, let's have it one each. I'll start a list in the original post. I will claim Illyria, since she's, like, the most awesome thing ever. I'll take Wesley, unless someone else really wants him

Sounds good. A bit like our own version of AFT. I also like the idea of it being in an 'episodic' format An opportunity to rewrite the horrors of ATF? Count me in!

Yeah. Like 'Tabula Rasa' and 'Needs', it starts with people waking up and not knowing who they are and then an interesting story develops This would be silly easy to do with Dollhouse characters. I do like the concept of it, though...but I vote that we do actually pick a Verse. I'm not terribly fond of overlapping, but if that's what everyone else wants to do, I'll play along of course. Further, I think it would be fun to RP in an episodic format with Whedon characters

I'm alright with anything. All of those ideas could definitely be interesting.

Om nom nom cookie dough. I'm making beer bread. Although, I had no actual beer beer so I'm trying it with Black and Tan. Experiments ftw!

I don't own any working consoles, except for my DS. I kind of want to start an MMO thread but I don't know if that would be redundant... MMOs are about all I do in the videogame world. I like the social element. I got into WoW and a few others, but have been on break a while awaiting Star Wars: The Old Republic. They're opening closed beta on that soon though so I'm excited about playing something again!

Have you guys seen the trailer for 1.5? Everything about this screams epic. January seems so far away. Ooh I hadn't seen the 1.5 trailer yet! I love this show so much. It's a really brilliant prequel to the reimagined series. Unfortunately, as we all lament, JANUARY?!

I watch Charmed almost every morning at 8am right before work. I watch Judge Judy everyday after I get off work from 5:30 to 6:30 too. Depending on when I go to bed for the night I always pop in a DVD to put me too sleep. Lately a Seinfeld or Lost DVD has been doing it. Tuesday - Hell's Kitchen 8pm Wednesday - Psych 10pm And. That's. About. It. I don't know what happen I used to be a T.V junkie, but I think life and the internet is taking over. It'll probably pick up during in the fall when some of my shows come back. I just started watching Charmed in the morning as well, because it comes on TNT right after Angel reruns. Also, yay for Psych! New episode in 19 minutes!

I love Navi's character, and that's a really cool story.
Not so much a fan of Jesse yet. I've never been a big fan of the arrogant newbie archetype characters, though.
