Curing the vamp - home stretch!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Things are still on track to get Angel cured tomorrow. So... probably 'bout time we actually figured out how we're doing that, huh?



Known:

At some point tomorrow Janet's got to take the Chosen One blood and mix it with the beozor and the unicorn shavings.

Don't know:

Are any of the Halliwells still going to recite a spell to go along with this? If so, when and how?

Known:

The final part of the cure is Angel drinking the CO cocktail. He's going to fight this because he doesn't want to drink human blood. Ultimately Logan will be the one who gets him to drink it.

Unknown:

Who gets tickets for a ringside view of this moment. Understandably a few folks will want to be there but I don't know player schedule and character inclination (some may not want to watch what could be Angel's dying moments).

What I can say is that Angel is going to be freaking out hardcore, and that this is not a moment he'll want a huge audience for. So to start with we're looking at a very small number of people. On top of that, depending on how the scene goes, Angel may not drink with an audience at all. In which case Logan may kick y'all out.

Also, Logan is going to be the one who convinces him. I know others may want to, but trust me when I say I've got good reason for insisting on this. So when the time comes please let him do his thing. Your patience shall be rewarded.

Tomorrow we'll all get on AIM so we can co-ordinate there. I just wanted to give this heads-up OOC so those involved would know it's nothing personal against them or their characters. It's Angel's magazine racks full of issues, plus some plot points to be named later.

Known:

Angel's going to be in the home stretch of dying tomorrow. Expect him to be in a great deal of pain and refusing food and pain meds. You might get him to drink some pig's blood before the main event, but dose him with pain meds and I'll kill you in your sleep.

Unknown:

How strong he'll be after the cure. On the one hand he was at about 1000% after drinking Buffy's blood, but OTOH we're jerry-rigging a cure here so I can see an argument for him at least needing a few days to fully recover. I may end up going with something in the middle: he can check out of FTEC on Saturday, but don't expect to see him at the gym or large with the endurance until the week's end.

We'll see.

So, other than that, let's make some unknowns known: are we still doing a spell? When's everyone getting together? Who are the small few who get to be in Angel's room to start with? Anything else that I've forgotten?

And... go! =)

Um. Wow. Woozy now.

Quick answer: Anyone want to add a spell? I'll put Janet in her room early in the a.m. tomorrow for them to stop by and ask. She'll be in the clinic most of the day, though.

I'm going to want Janet there for obvious reasons. :) She's going to want less-rather-than-more people so Angel doesn't overtax himself. Obviously, the plot comes first. Just saying--doctory stuff.

Sleeping now. Will check tomorrow and probably have more coherent commentary when the codeine cough syrup wears off.

I'm not around at all during the day, but you can have Veronica for whatever you need her for as soon as I get home.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I can see having a medical person in the room, and of all the possible options Janet's the one Angel would be most comfortable with.

She may still need to be kicked out with everyone else if it goes that way, but if that happens she can hang out on the other side of the door and come in as soon as it's done.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker would want to visit again tomorrow, but she won't want to watch the blood-drinking, particularly. She is not good with people dying anyway, and if she gets some reassurance that he *will* be drinking that, come hell or high water, then it's something she'll happily miss. But she'll want to be in the Clinic, out of sight, to get confirmation that it worked-- or that something else has to be done (which is how she'll be thinking of it).

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I've got no probs with any of that. =)

[demonbelthazor]

BFF! Bel would be there until Logan shoots him. ;)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Translation: I can't decide if she would want to be there or not... I *think* she would... but after tonight? It might be too much for her.

If you want her around, she'll be there. If you think it's better if she's not, that's fine. Just let me know :)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

*Snerk* Yeah, sadly I think Bel's going to have to miss out on getting a ticket to the room.

Though it would prove whether or not UST is strong enough to cure Angel.

Hmm - maybe if you two fought again? This time using oil? 8)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Maketh sense. May play that by ear b/c I could see arguments in either direction. Could come down to how it all looks at the last moment.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Which is fine since I'll be around either way.

*goes to cry self to sleep now - ZOMG*

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* - do you think he'll make it?

Night! =)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Hmm - maybe if you two fought again? This time using oil? 8)

Veronica would *need* to be there for that.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

And Angel's awake now, so he could watch.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Best icon use EVER.

[demonbelthazor]

I'm up for it.


Heh heh heh.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Cal would probably need to be hit over the head and locked in a closet to be kept away, which I am perfectely prepared to have someone do if need be.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Was counting on Cal being there unless you said it'd cause her too much freakage.

Again don't know if she'd need to be amongst those kicked out (or if anyone is) so we can play that by ear.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna's opening up the clinic tomorrow morning. And there ends anything that resembles brain from me.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

*pets you*

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Need the post to say anything other than "Angel was still in Exam Room One."?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Nope, that's perfect. I can reply under that and add in details as needed.

Got a guesstimate of when the post will go up tomorrow so I know when to sneak in from work and do the comment to place Angel there?

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

As soon as I wake up. (Anywhere from 4 to 8 am pacific.) Probably closer um...seven.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Coolness. Danke!

[fh_jackass]

It depends on how things play out, but I'm seeing Logan throwing *everyone* out of the room while he talks to Angel. But *I'm* flexible on that.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

I'm fine with Cal being kicked out if she needs to be, she'll just require cranial trauma a somewhat blunter method of reasoning.

[sensethevisions]

I'm waiting to hear from Piper and Paige, but Phoebe does have a spell that she wants to add/try.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe is still more than willing to do a Halliwell spell. I just need to know when she should show up and where. ;)

Also, she will be one of the people that doesn't want to be in the room when he drinks. She feels that it's a private thing that doesn't need an audience. yay for the empath's reasoning skills. Plus, she couldn't take seeing first-hand if everything they did doesn't work. :)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I have no idea what you mean :)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I suspected as much, but did not want to assume on your behalf.

Okay then, since Angel's got a good likelihood of needing everybody to be cleared out, and since Logan's going to want that too, I say let's make that the plan.

In which case I'll ask Cal who we need to have nearby to drag her and lock her in a closet ;)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Is there anybody we should make sure is nearby who can do the blunt methoding?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Coolness. My guess would be that any spell-casting would happen while Janet's mixing the blood with the ingredients, but I don't know when that's happening.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John might like to be there since OMG ROOMIE and he can bring Sean so Angel can have something to snuggly IN A MANLY WAY once he's well again.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

I'm not particulary fussy about who takes her out, but if you want to cut down the number of people in the room, maybe have Janet with her handy needles do it?

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine Lana'd be in the room. She might be hovering around outside the clinic waiting for news, but even if she felt like she *should* be there and there was room for her in there, she wouldn't be able to manage it emotionally.

[janet_fraiser]

Cool! Give me a few minutes and I'll put up a room post. You should definitely let Janet know about that before she starts working on it and gets obsessed focused. Is it a Power of Three spell?

[janet_fraiser]

I'm perfectly willing to threaten and badger Callisto to get her out of the room. And then to escort Cal out at needlepoint, if need be.

[janet_fraiser]

I was thinking after, because the mixing is going to take a while (let's hear it for breaking ALL THAT BLOOD down into plasma). Which reminds me-- *goes to Google for more blood info*

[janet_fraiser]

Seconding Angel in that it was my assumption as well that Logan would do that.

[janet_fraiser]

You know, I think that could cure just about anyone of any illness. If you'd like, I can have Janet write a prescription for that.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Let's make that the plan then.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I'm not sure yet how strong Angel's going to be once he's taken the cure, so maybe hold off on bringing Sean just in case he's not up for puppy-sitting?

But John can def. be there to start. So long as he's fine with getting kicked out when Logan does his thing.

[janet_fraiser]

Yay! :) Also, um, seriously? Just try and keep her away.

And the kicking out is fine, and not unexpected (as I told you). The level of hovering she'll be doing outside the door will be pretty insanely bad, though.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Hovering by the door is totally fine =)

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

That's perfectly fine! He'll leave Sean in the room with lots of puppy toys and the new perm John gave him.

And he'll understand getting kicked out. He knows that Angel doesn't want anyone to give something for him since he thinks he deserves to die...WHICH HE DOES NOT. *g*

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Aww - ROOMIE! *snuggle*

Okay, I think that'll cap the number of people who can be in the room to start with. Anybody else can hover in the clinic.
