At the Wolfram & Hart office

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla is standing outside of the reach of the fall of sunlight, staring outside.

She hasn't heard from Angelus in days.

She hasn't heard from Drusilla in days.

This makes her cranky. You wouldn't like her when she's cranky.

Sick of her basement suite at the Aficionado Arms, she'd made her way through the sewers to the office. Of course, she's not doing anything useful.

Lilah looked up from her computer and spotted Darla. "Oh. Nice of you to drop by. Your boy has created quite the mess."

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla smiled. That sounded far more comforting. "Who's he killed now?"

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

"Fourteen year old up at the high school," Lilah replied, as she returned to her legal research. "The mess is that he seems to have left some kind of evidence lying around that points to him. I'd have thought you would have trained him better."

"I don't think it'll be a problem, since Deputy Dawg is on the case and he couldn't find his own armpit, but it never hurts to be prepared."

"Oh, is it that still? He was laying low earlier last week with me. I don't know where he's moved onto now." Her voice was delibrately careless.

She crossed the room to lean against Lilah's desk. "What do I need to know to get by in this town? Obviously, the sheriff is a moron, but who do I watch out for? Who do I bribe? Who do I get to torture for information?"

Lilah leaned back in her chair. "Well, should you just happen to speak with him, tell him he's got a stupid sheriff and a bunch of crazy kids looking for him."

"This town?" She thought for a few minutes. "Stay away from the school. Don't mess with the Dean. We've own a judge already, so don't worry about that."

"Torturing for information?" Lilah chuckled. "What kind of information are you looking for? And your whatever he is with the bad dye job runs a bar in town, but I guess you already knew that."

"I don't have anything particular in mind right now. I just want to be prepared if it becomes necessary. God, don't talk to me about Spike. Although I suppose he'd have a low-level ability to gather information." Darla drummed her fingers on Lilah's desk.

"I plan on avoiding the school, regardless. I'll concentrate on the town. Angelus has the school taken care of, but I don't think he has many contacts out in town. And that's what I'll need."

"A very low level ability," Lilah rolled her eyes. "He's still got that chip, last I heard. Drinking blood from the bottle."

"Hmm." She tapped her finger against her chin. "Did you ever meet Lorne? He's started Caritas up again. I've been holed up here researching ways to keep your boy out of jail, so I haven't been out there as much as I should have. There's a rare book shop that might interest you, though. May have prophecies and whatnot."

"Chip? What chip?" Darla listened to Lilah's explanation to spare us RPing it out. "I had not idea. How... pathetic for him. What an idiot.

"Lorne? Green demon who does atrocious things to clothing? God. If he's got the same deal that he did when I was in Los Angeles, there's no fighting in there, which can be useful.

"Of the three, the rare book shop sounds interesting. Depends on whether you have a weedy tweedy type running it or someone who thinks he can take over the world with three books and a crystal globe." Darla's drumming fingers stilled. "I'll go to the bookshop since if I head to Caritas I'll run into Angel singing Manilow and I'd have to stake myself then."

The sun is down and I'm off to the bookshop (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/383259.html?thread=15616539#t15616539).
