[ the feed shakes for a moment, before a sign comes into frame as cordelia's chipper forced-infomercial voice dictates: ]

 
Wonderland got you down?  Having a hard time coping with supernatural events that they definitely didn't have back home in Dullsville, USA, or whatever your dimensional zip code was before you got here?  

[ the card lowers to present cordelia's grinning face, where she sits in the offices of angel investigations, on the front desk cross legged. ]

Well, lucky for you, some of us are used to this kind of nonsense, and we're here to help you.  Whether you need protection or just someone to look into some kind of weirdness that you can't deal with alone, Angel Investigations can be the heroes you need.  Find us on the fourth floor, in room 10... especially after sundown.  

We help the helpless!  So help us help you.

[ she holds the sign back up and waves it a bit, before pushing it closer to the camera so that it zooms in on the logo one last time.

(replies can be over the network, or action replies at the office). ]


[oocly: also, don't forget you can request a vision from cordelia at any time to foreshadow plot events! ]

[allaboutme]

Overrated.

[allaboutme]

It's not like we're special ordering them.

[walkingheroin]

[He rolls his eyes.]

If only it were as simple as that. We're talking about a celestial being that wants complete obedience at all times. Does that sound like a good time to you?

[naughty_nurse]

Then... um... w-whatever you think is best!

[vampdetective]

Can we not argue about this right now?

[That's right, both of you. It's the Dad Voice.]

It doesn't matter how old anyone is or isn't.

[allaboutme]

If you're plying for the sympathy vote, it's not gonna work.

[allaboutme]

We'll work something up. [ she moves around the desk, trailing one hand across the surface of it ] The problem is gonna be when something happens and none of us are exactly ourselves either.

[catchacold]

I rest my case.

[One of the most ridiculous arguments ever: Won.]

[likeseggos]

[meanwhile, while those two were bickering, el walked away to poke at things around the office like a small curious cat.]

[naughty_nurse]

[She looks down.]

I-It's sometimes difficult to tell you are effected, sometimes... This place c-can play with your memories...

[powerofmabel]

I feel like we're not reaching a compromise here.

[Mabel stop reading business books.]

[lightgunhustler]

I was on the move too much for that, at least once I got involved in the actual hunting part. Went all over the place. Is wherever you're from so lousy with demons that you get enough work staying put?

[Honestly, she's fascinated.]

[allaboutme]

He can't help it that he's like, ancient.

[allaboutme]

And it's not exactly something anyone's figured out a way to escape.

[naughty_nurse]

I-I'm sorry... W-was this useless?

[lamiae]

Teachers who were big on virgin sacrifice.

[ among other things; including, but limited to, wanting to drink her "pure" blood to sustain their eternal youth and beauty. ]

[walkingheroin]

[He seems to take only one tiny part of that and run with it.]

Hm, maybe when I get back I'll run for some sort of public office, just for fun. I bet I could easily win.

[allaboutme]

LA. [ as if that explains everything ]

[allaboutme]

Yeah, I don't so much do compromise.

[catchacold]

How old is ancient?

[allaboutme]

Probably. I mean, my hometown had an evil mayor and most people didn't notice. It's not like it'd be a big accomplishment.

[allaboutme]

I'm pretty sure you get that label once you pass the century mark.

[allaboutme]

Ugh, don't even get me started on that sexist nonsense.

[allaboutme]

No! Not useless. That's only some of the time, and if we can save one person the other times, that's worth it, right?

[naughty_nurse]

Haaa... That's a r-relief...
