[hismasterpiece]

[Drusilla has been away on a combat mission in the mountains. She loves those types of missions; this was her second, and it was a long one. She fed; oh, she fed. Gorged herself on the blood of the fallen enemies that littered the steep, rocky terrain around her.

Turned a few Third Party warriors who seemed attractive enough to turn. She had plans to create her own demon army on the Outside. These fell through when the Organization shipped her back to the enclosure.]

[Voice|Video]

Jilly? I know you from through the window. I've made a doll.

[The video clicks on, and a horrid picture appears: a likeness similar to Jilly, with dark pits instead of eyes and a mouth stitched shut mid-scream. Beside it is a scratched-in number Seven.]

I want you all in my belly.

[/Voice|Video]

[Tonight Drusilla is on a quest to kill whomever she can and to turn whomever she can into vampires. The last thread, chronologically, will go to Buffy (together, possibly, with Faith if Aly and Kyra feel like doing that).]

****SORRY this is forward-dated to AFTER the event ends!

[Except-

...even if they weren't in danger, that didn't mean others weren't.

She had no intention of putting herself in harm's way, but she could at least try to give the Slayer a head's up]

...If...If we changed our minds, though, where would you be?

[please be listening, Buffy.]

[bloodwaif]

I'm right outside, dearie. I'm right here.

[She is, indeed, in the back garden of Seven -- bare white arms almost shining in the moonlight.]

The blood of battle is too hot. I need something to cool me.

[theoniongirl]

[a deep breath] I guess that makes it easy, then.

[definitely not going anywhere]

[simplestgift]

Jilly. Is she...she can't come inside, can she?

[voice - filtered 90%]

[theoniongirl]

[even knowing it's filtered, she can't keep from lowering her voice]

No. Buffy said no, as long as we don't invite her in.

Are you home?

[voice - filtered 90%]

[simplestgift]

No, I am not. I'm on duty tonight.

[voice - filtered 90%]

[theoniongirl]

Archie-

[she couldn't tell him not to go home. She wasn't even sure whether the club would provide any protection from the vampire. It wasn't really an invitation only kind of place.]

...Be careful.

[voice - filtered 100%]

[thedicearecast]

I know you aren't that stupid.

Who is she, and what does she want?

[voice - filtered 100%]

[theoniongirl]

[there's a sigh of relief when she hears Amelia. Hopefully that meant the other woman was staying somewhere safe]

I'm not.

I...I think she's Drusilla. If she's who I think she is, she's a vampire. Buffy's dealt with her before.

She can't come in here unless she's invited, and that won't be happening.

Re: [voice - filtered 100%]

[thedicearecast]

--Damn it.

[There's sounds of movement on Amelia's end. She's heard about vampires, including the part where guns don't do any real damage to them. And if Drusilla is that close, she's got to warn the rest of her house.]

Good. And you're not going to go outside yourself, no matter what happens.

[voice - filtered 100%]

[theoniongirl]

No, I'm not. And neither are you.

[her voice is quiet, but stern. She hears that movement]

But if she thinks I might, she'll stay outside and Buffy might be able to find her.

Re: [voice - filtered 100%]

[thedicearecast]

No. I'm making sure no one lets her in. The baby's here.

[Which is reason enough to risk telling Vash, who would be the most likely of them to go outside and try and be the hero. But also Wolfwood and Milly; Amelia has to be sure, has to do what she can to protect them.]

And Buffy can handle her?

[voice - filtered 100%]

[theoniongirl]

It was her job, back home.

From what she's told me, vampires from her home can't come in unless they're invited. As long as no one welcomes her in, it doesn't even matter if the door is open.

...I'm not testing that theory, by the way.

[jewitch]

Don't go. She can't do anything to us in here.

[She's certain she doesn't need to tell Jilly this. But Drusilla's hypnosis is still largely a mystery to Willow (would it even work over the journals? Likely not, right?), and better safe than sorry.]

[written back]

[theoniongirl]

[she could speak up, or even go in search of the Witch. But somehow, it felt safer to stay still and quiet...even if Buffy was right about her not being able to come in]

I'm not. But if Buffy looks, at least she'll know where she's at.

[written back]

[jewitch]

Got it.

[written back]

[theoniongirl]

[a hesitation, before the words began to appear again] She mentioned Archie, too.

He's not at home. He's at work.

[written back]

[jewitch]

At the club, right? Drusilla is in the backyard.

I...I think he'd be able to make it home safe. [The vamp seemed mostly interested in House Seven and its inhabitants at the moment.

What with her camping out in the yard and all. Still, she hopes she isn't wrong.]

[written back]

[theoniongirl]

[...;;]

She can't break a window or anything, right? Not unless she's invited?

[written back]

[jewitch]

It won't be a problem. Don't worry.

[written back]

[theoniongirl]

I was just

Maybe I should sit where she can see me. It would keep her there until Archie could get home.

[at least, she could hope]

[written back]

[jewitch]

Yeah...keeping her distracted might not be a bad idea.

Buffy will find her soon. [She hopes.]

[written back]

[theoniongirl]

I'll wait, then.

[and hope Willow's right about her not being able to break the window]

[bloodwaif]

[Neither is Dru; she will, for the most part and with one or two exceptions, be waiting. Waiting for Buffy to come home.]
