I need everyone to listen closely.

[It's unusual for Angel to show his face on the network, especially if it comes to leaving a message of his own. He'll reply to people here and there, but largely, he doesn't think it's worth the effort -- phones being the invention of a bored warlock and all.

But this is different. This is urgent, and it's written all over his face, his jaw squared and his mouth set in a hard line, tense.]


Your pal Tom that started warning people over the network, apologizing for this creep from his world? Don't trust him. In fact, stay as far away from him as you can -- lock yourselves in, do whatever you have to do, but do it immediately. He's the one responsible for these murders.

[He hadn't been sure at first. He'd smelled the blood of more than one of the victims on Tom when they'd gone to investigate one of the more recent crime scenes together, but it hadn't been enough to go on -- Tom could have just gone to two or three different sites to help handle the aftermath and picked it up that way -- but then Angel himself had gone to each and every point of discovery. Every one.

And at each one, he caught the same scent. None of them belonged to this 'Harry Warden,' but each and every trail lead back to the same place.

He hadn't wanted to believe it at first, thought he had to have been mistaken, but his senses had never lead him wrong before now. People were surprising where demons and other vampires were predictable. Angel expected better from humans, admired humanity for what it was -- there were always bad apples, but even after two and a half centuries, he wasn't used to them coming in mild-mannered packages like Tom Hanniger.

Just goes to show. And yet, something about it still didn't sit right with him, like it couldn't possibly be as cut and dry as Tom lying, but there's no time for him to try and pick that apart now. What matters is keeping people away from him, getting Tom contained somehow and keeping him from doing any more harm than he already has.]


Every one of these crimes leads back to him. There is no Harry Warden, that story is nothing but a decoy.

Do not try to go after him on your own. He might be human, but that means he's unpredictable-- this guys is killing like he's got nothing to lose. Get yourselves somewhere safe, each and every one of you. Arm yourselves if you have to, just in case.

This will be over soon. I promise.

[He plans to see to that personally.]

[He seems a little conflicted, like he wants to go after Tom, but after their last encounter James knows when to stand down. His mouth tightens into a line and he nods. The safety of everyone else is more important than starting up an angry mob.]

I can do that. I'll keep everyone here.

[But...hm. His brow furrows and he looks curiously at the screen.]

"Nobody human", mm? So, what does that make you then?

[He doesn't seem overly suspicious or angry when asking - one of his best friends is a werewolf, after all. It's not like it really matters. But this fellow brought it up first, so he doesn't feel like he's being especially nosy.

Though, he probably is. Oh well.

[James doesn't seem particularly alarmed by the news, aside from mild surprise followed by a nod. Vampires aren't unheard of in his world at all, though James doesn't know any personally. But he imagines that they're like werewolves - not in presentation, but in how they should be treated.

Besides, Angel's clearly put his abilities to use for good, so how could he hold it against him?

I'll take your word for it. Good luck then! I'll do what I can here.

[He's not rushing him off out of fear or anything - there just isn't very much time to waste talking about exactly how his abilities work or how they're different or what. There's more important things going on at the moment.]
