wesleynotponcy.livejournal.comThings at the Hyperion right now were... hectic. Returning from Pylea had been difficult enough on its own, what with Fred to situate in the hotel and all the last-minute portals that had needed to be arranged to send the Fandom crowd back to school (and other places), but that wasn't the worst of it. They'd returned to find the couch in the lobby occupied by Willow, who'd come to inform them -- well, Angel in particular, Wesley supposed, but them -- that Buffy was dead. A hellgod had managed to open up a gateway to billions of hell dimensions all at once, and somehow Buffy had been able to sacrifice herself in order to close it.
So naturally Angel was out of commission as well. He'd gone with Willow back to Sunnydale to help with whatever he could, and judging from the silent intensity with which he'd packed most of the contents of his suite, Wesley doubted he'd be back anytime soon.
So it was down to himself, Cordelia and Gunn to run the place and take care of the mentally-unstable Texan living on the second floor, while Cordelia griped about missing her throne and Gunn complained about not having gotten to experience the hell-world for himself and Lorne had apparently resolved to stay the hell away from the people who'd smashed up his bar again (at least, until the next crisis, Wesley surmised). So really, there was no good excuse for abandoning the hotel, however temporarily, for any kind of substantial visit to the island.
But it was highly unlikely that Wesley would manage to get Perk-caliber coffee anywhere else right now, and really, he needed to breathe and to think somewhere very far from all the craziness. So an hour, he decided. He would be here for an hour, send some texts to some friends to let them know he was here in case they wanted to talk, have some coffee, and then go back to Los Angeles ready to help with... all of that again.
...Okay, maybe two hours.
