No More Snakes and Ladders...teaser trailer!

[tabaqui]

Square Seventeen...

Wesley sighed, leaned against Spike without a fight, all but asleep on his feet. "Leads, hints, half-recorded prophecies. I suspect the manifestations are only the visible result of the disturbance, a symptom rather than an end unto themselves - like sparks caused by repetitive motion over carpet."

"What's that tell us?"

---

"After last night's patrol, my partner and I drove to Los Angeles. Is there a problem on the site?" Xander squinted at the time display on his cell phone. "Where's Russ?"

"Mr. Fenwick did not have a review scheduled with me at nine this morning, and he did not miss his review."

Xander felt the bang of his own heart through Spike's hand where it lay over his chest. "Review? What? That's not until next year!"

"Today."

---

"It's blondie bear." Gunn removed his sunglasses, looking Spike's nakedness up and down with amusement. "It's a whole lot of blondie bear. Who ain't no natural blond. What're you doing here?"

---

"I don't have enough information. Charles - please."

Gunn sighed, rubbed his hand over his scalp and looked from Wesley to Xander to Spike. "I've gotta think about it, man. Listen, Anne's expecting me at the shelter - we could use some extra help Christmas Eve, servin' up food, makin' sure everybody's got a bed or a piece of floor to sleep on. You come down there and help out and I'll let you talk a bit more. Then I'll make up my mind. We got a deal?"

---

"Andrew organized all of this, actually," Wes said, waving his hand around at the multi-colored twinkle-lights, the tinsel garlands and the gigantic tree that was all but breaking under the weight of the ornaments. "Fortunately, Connor was in charge of the eggnog - refills, anyone?" Four cups were thrust forward and Wes blinked in surprise.

"Just fill the damn thing, Wes," Angel growled.

---

"Did you find a clue?"
"Man, I got better than a clue."
"What's that?"
"I got a name."

Oh sure, now we have to wait a week until the next bit. *whimpers* That's so unfair. You guys are soooo good at this!

*waits patiently for next week*

Oh, almost forgot...would it be okay if I friended you?

Hey!
Yes, you do. Have to wait. That's why we put out the teaser - so you'll be all jacked up and desperate!
Heeeeee.

*ahem*

Right.
Yes!
Friend me!
I thought you already were?
Hrmmmm.
:)

You creep-ette!

*beats you about the head and face*

That was not nice.

*pouts*

[tabaqui]

Whaaaa???
But but...
It gives you something to think about!!

{sigh}

not so much with the patient waiting until next week, but I wait, with whatever I'm using to fake patience, until then.

Julia, ack! the review!

[tsavoritegarnet.livejournal.com]

so who's starting the impatiently waiting for more NMSAL support group?

[tabaqui]

Heeee.
*pet pet*
The review!!
*bounce*

[tsavoritegarnet.livejournal.com]

Aw common, couldn't you post different teasers? Equally long as this one that is.

[tabaqui]

Heeeee.
No, no no.
Sorry!
That'd be giving away too much.

That is really not nice! I'm ready for the next part, so where is it?! *Sniff* *Whimper* GUNN! Okay, more soon as soon can get!

Calia

[tabaqui]

Heeee.

"It's blondie bear." Gunn removed his sunglasses, looking Spike's nakedness up and down with amusement. "It's a whole lot of blondie bear. Who ain't no natural blond. What're you doing here?"

*squees!* You've added GUNN! Hee! *bounce* *joins the NMSAL impatiently waiting club*

[tabaqui]

Heeeee.
Yay!!
Gunn rocks.

[shighola.livejournal.com]

You bitcas, bitcai ... whatever!
This was just mean-spirited and cruel. First you get us strung out on this damn story, then you cut back to every other week. And just when we've adjusted, you put out your little "teaser trailer".

I really, really hate you.
*glares*

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeee!!
*ahem*
I mean....
Uh.
Yeah.
:)

Sorry?
*bounce*

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

GUNN! Gunn seeing Spike nekkid! Yay!! I can't wait until next week! IT looks to be great as always!

[tabaqui]

Wheeeee!!
I know!!
All good.
*bounce*

[fanbot.livejournal.com]

Oh! hecks!
I can just see Spike padding around the Hyperion (or somewhere), nakked, not caring, and Poor Gunn being put to shame. Heehee.

*counts days* Rats...

[tabaqui]

Yup yup yup.
*bounce*

[altyronsmaker.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. *sits back, relaxes, then shudders* Ooooo, what a fix. Can't wait for the next one. This promises to be another excellent chapter. Please tell me Angel gets his comeuppance and gets a nose full of w/x/s? Oh, that would be so awesome. The ponce. hehe. Luckily it is already Tuesday, and we only have to wait 6 more days - oh wait, that's still almost as bad as seven. Damn! And I have already done enough damage to my nails, so *slaps self* No biting!

Oh yeah, and can I friend you too?

[tabaqui]

Heeee.
*ahem*
I think you'll like it a lot!

Yes, go right ahead and friend.
:)

[tabaqui]
