It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe Drogyn's only mostly dead.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, and I forgot:

Angel/Spike! Angel/Spike in canon! woooot!

Hee.

Well... it means it won't happen tomorrow or the next day... he has to survive the coming darkness...

Like blocking out the sun last year.

...the apocalyptic battles...

Plenty of those. This year and last year, certainly.

...a few plagues

Your definition of "plague" may vary, but one could argue that he's survived a kind of plague, like the Jasmine-love infection. And prevented a plague when he didn't remove Illyria and allow her to spread through the masses.

and some...several...not that many fiends that will be unleashed upon the world.

Every week.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

OH!

I have a nitpick!

10-1? What, does Angel know NOTHING about betting and odds and ARGH!

Dude, odds are way lower than 10-1 that the SPs are gonna bust one on you. Try closer to 1-5. From a dialogue standpoint, though, "even money" makes more sense, and is MORE ACCURATE.

Ahem.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Surprised that in the few comparisons of the masked & robed freemasons, no one compared it to Eyes Wide Shut. I can't think of anything more similar. (Also, I happen to like that movie, so save it.)

If Doyle were here, he'd have gotten it right.

I liked it too. As much as you can like something that totally freaking creeps you out in a way that almost no movie could ever hope to do.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think there was a comparison made to Eyes Wide shut -- something about how it was like that, but without the boobs. Feel too lazy to nilly it though.

I've always wanted pre-series Doyle at Del Mar fic.

I must confess.

Lady O' Spain did.

ETA: Inevitable x-post of course.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I thought of that too, actually, but forgot to mention it. (No, seriously! I did! The whole "secret society" vibe and the masks...) (And I don't not like it, I just don't really get it, I guess. But I won't prosecute you for it, cause people whose opinions I respect like it a lot too.)

What, does Angel know NOTHING about betting and odds and ARGH!

No, that's why Gunn always wanted him to go to Vegas, to learn.

Crazy post number!
