Around Fandom - All Day Wednesday

Okay, seriously, the angel statues? Totally moving. Why can't the local council buy NORMAL statues? Would it kill them? No it wouldn't.

But these ones might.

You needn't mind them for now. They're only statues. Yeah, their moving might start to be noticed, but weird stuff happens in Fandom all the time.

Right?

PS: Still tacky.

Don't stop blinkin' about tomorrow.

Ino was... totally dawdling on her way to work. Okay, okay, most people didn't show up to work until much later anyway but whatever. She was normally nearly there already and not just ambling through the park.

She was totally not avoiding Cable-san. Totally not. Okay, maybe a little.

And there was an angel statue, just part of the scenery. Nothing special at all.

She slowed even further as she noticed the statue. Ino wrinkled her nose at it. "Someone has got awful taste in decoration," she informed it, "because you're seriously ugly."

Taking her eyes off it for a second she glanced around to see if there were any others.

Ugly was merely a state of mind.

In that second she turned away the statue moved a just a little closer and the way it stood changed slightly. Someone with an eye for details might notice that. But maybe not. It was just a statue after all.

And statues don't move.

...

Ino stared at it, frowning. Had it always been that close to her? She took a step back and blinked, reaching up to rub her eyes.

Another blink and the statue was noticeably closer, reaching out towards Ino.

Maybe it just wanted to make a new friend.

Or maybe it wanted something more.

The few birds that had been chirping in the park fell silent.

Ooookay.

Ino was getting seriously creeped out by the ugly-ass statue now.

"I... think I'm just going to go, you know, far away from you now," Ino said, "far far away. Yes. That works. And if you follow me I'll have Cable-san beat you up." Because that'd totally work, right? Threaten the stupid statue.

She turned to go, planning to leave quickly.

It wasn't quick enough.

The park was silent and the angel's eyes were covered once more. The faintest hint of a smile visible on it's face.

Cimorene usually cooked her own breakfast. And lunch and dinner. But today, she had felt like she needed a change, and on her way back decided to cut through the park. Not her best morning.

There was a stone statue on her way through the park, sitting quietly as statues are wont to do.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Stone statues moved every once in a while back home, so Cimorene found nothing unusual about one being where she was pretty sure there wasn't one before. She even politely nodded, just in case.

The statue didn't nod back.

The statue...didn't do much at all.

Maybe there was a slight change to the position but it was probably a trick of the eye.

That's all.

Cimorene hurried along back to the school and class, not at all concerned about the statue.

The angel was definitely different now. Where there was once an almost cowering statue stood a statue who was pointing, reaching, warning.

Cimorene glanced over at the statue. "Good morning?"

The statue didn't respond. The statue just kept pointing. It was just a statue, of course. But, this was Fandom and odd things happened here. Perhaps, this was just a silly little island trick.

Yes, that's all it was.

Cimorene glanced at where the statue was pointing. "I'm sorry, there's nothing there. Can I help you?"

Silly little girl, expecting the statue to be doing anything that wouldn't benefit anyone but itself.

Within moments, whisper quick, the statue was looking above her, face distorted into a mask of anger. It was no longer reaching or pointing. What it was doing was far more sinister...

When Cimorene glanced back around, she let out a tiny eep and reached for the sword...that was not on her hip. "I guess you're not friendly after all." She informed the statue and took a step back, trying to remember a useful spell for this situation. A quick blink, and she opened her mouth to say the words to a sticky spell.

Spring was coming. Flowers and trees would soon bloom and the park was quiet again.

The angel statue marring an otherwise picturesque landscape smiled behind it's hands.

Don't stop, 'cause it'll soon be heeeere.

John and Sam go missing from the preserve.

It'll be here, better than before.

Yesterday's gone. Yesterday's gone!

It was dark by the time Roy finished going over everything with Dale and they had more or less an idea on how to start their defense against these angel statues. They just... needed more and he couldn't think unless he actually ate something. So he pulled on his spark cloth gloves - just to be safe - and ducked out of the station to grab some burgers at Luke's.

The angel wasn't doing anything at all. Just minding its own business as it sat quietly in the in the dark between the buildings.

It was a statue after all.

If he hadn't been alert for these statues, Roy might not have noticed it and just passed it by. As he was, he came to full stop and he wasn't sure what to do next. He kept his eye on the statue, then quickly scanned around the street to check for any other angel statues.

No others were around. Just the one.

Not that it had moved at all while the Sheriff was scanning. No. It always had been slightly looking up.

Something was different when he looked back and he felt a chill run down his spine. His fingers moved together, just in case and he took a step closer, caution disappearing now that he was face to face with the angel.

"What is it that you want?" he asked in an unwavering voice. If these things could throw people back in time, it had to be intelligent, right?

What did the Sheriff expect? For the statue to answer him?

Silly Sheriff.

He wasn't sure what he had expected, but he wanted answers and he took a step closer, still being cautious as he studied the statue. He never did expect that not blinking was part of being cautious.

In between one blink and the next, the angel changed again, teeth bared, hands reaching for the Sheriff.

He might have been trying to be cautious, but the angel didn't much care as it leaned forward to touch him...

There was a loud curse as Roy jumped back, never having seen the thing move at all. What the hell was going on.

He scowled at the statue, taking in its teeth and claws but it looked like just a statue. Nothing more than stone. He could transmute stone if he knew the metals within and getting over his shock, he reached out one hand, the other still ready to blow the thing to hell if need be.

Didn't he know it was already too late? The statue didn't even need to move this time. Just waited for the touch, knowing where it would end.

There was a fraction where Roy felt a pull and his fingers moved, but it was too late and the next instant he was gone.

The angel sat quietly, undisturbed, almost smiling in the shadows.

Willow and Mel get touched by an Angel in the graveyard (http://cantjossme.livejournal.com/31756.html#cutid1)

Not dirty.

And they'll continue playing it forever just because...

ONE MORE TIME, EVERYBODY!

Us angels are really just misunderstood creatures. No one pays attention to us so we have to do SOMETHING to get attention.

AM I RIGHT?

Now it's stuck on 'repeat' in my BRAINZ!!!

Love Fleetwood Mac!
