[OPEN] Oh, you'll probably go to heaven, please don't hang your head and cry;

[vampdetective]

When: January 18th - 20th, only available on the grounds after dark.
Rating: R
Summary: Regina issued a challenge. So far, Angelus has been biding his time behind bars or hanging out in dark corners and behaving himself, but now? It's a matter of pride.
The Story:

It seemed stupid now, looking back-- months wasted, months sitting on his hands aside from the throwaway deaths of a couple of teenage girls, weeks spent rotting behind bars in wait, pretending steel was enough to hold him for all that time. Regina's Mirror had made it easy on him, at least-- saved him the effort of having to work at those bars and springing him loose while everyone had been preoccupied, more interested in the Jabberwocky than what they considered to be lesser threats. Lesser was something he could agree to in that situation, and only then, but things weren't what Regina had made them out to be. He wasn't nothing at all.

If she was so damn determined that he was harmless, that he couldn't do any real damage, then it was time to take the gloves off. Stop waiting for the right time, stop trying to play the long game, stop choking down cold, bagged blood just to keep himself under the radar and avoid being blown up by angels. It was almost as rotten an existence as the one Angel lead himself, and that, that was unacceptable. That Angelus had chosen it at all, even in the interest of keeping his head above water in an enclosed space with a dozen other dangerous captives--

No more. No more swallowing down cold swill, no more pretending he wasn't interested in tearing open every throat he came across. He'd been starving himself for months. If Regina wanted to see blood?

Well. He'd give her blood, and plenty of it.

( OOC: Just a note that any and all encounters with Angelus are likely to be violent. Because he's currently on a time limit, torture is being taken out of the equation, but grievous injuries or death are extremely likely, especially the latter as he is primarily looking to feed. If you want to encounter Angelus but are not willing to have your character die, then either be prepared to run or contact me via PM or over on plurk at hufflepuffed and we can work out some kind of feasible distraction or reason he would decide they're too much work to be food. c: Most things are fair game and I am willing to work with anyone who wants to get more detailed, but winging it is a-ok too!

Action and prose are both fine, I will match you! Please include the desired date and location in your subject line.)

"I don't really get to see stars where I'm from. This is a nice change." Billy turns to see who was joining him.

He freezes. Oh Angelus may not know who he is but Billy knows Angelus. He's seen every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...more than once. He also knows whats been going on.

"Big city?" he asks, just as Billy turns to face him. His smile broadens when the boy stiffens; he makes a note of that recognition, catches a glimpse of it in his eyes. Oh, that had the potential make things even better.

"Have we met?" he asks, canting his head to one side, his tone flippant-- he doesn't care, not really, but he wants to hear Billy say it.

[actualwizard]

"New York." he answers warily, eyeing the vampire and taking a slight step back. Oh he had a feeling this wasn't going to end well. Hopefully Angelus was just out for a nightly stroll too, but Billy really didn't think he was that lucky.

"No, we haven't met yet." Billy shakes his head.
