(LA Night)A Mid-Patrol Night's Dream

[Jessy Jackson]

I guess it was partly my fault it happened. I should have paid more attention but to be fair, it was a very strange thing to happen.

I was on patrol, alone, leaping from roof to roof when I heard talking. I crept closer and was releived to hear not plans for taking over the world but lines from a play. The two men seemed to be reciting random lines from Shakespear's A Middsummer Night's Dream. It went like this.

"Things base and vile love can transpose to form and dignity," said one.

"And therefore is love said to be a child for in choice he is so oft beguiled," replied the other.

"Fetch me that flower, the herb I showed thee once."

"The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid will make man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees."

"Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord what fools these mortals be!"

"Then may two at once woo one- that must needs be sport alone; and those things do best please me that befall prepost'rously."

It continued in that vein for a while and I carried on my patrol, eventally ending up at the Spot.

Everyone was there, including Spike and there were no ordinary people around so were all having fun together talking about our patrols. So much fun we didn't notice the sleeping gas that was pumped into the Spot. I saw the undead guys get knocked out by something that seemed to fast to stop before I fell asleep.

None of us woke for at least 4 hours. Definately none of us woke when a few drops of a liquid were put on our eyes.

I woke up with a sort of disoriented feeling. I sat up and looked straight at the sleeping form of...Spike.

[rachelle]

I felt very dizzy when I woke up, and crowded. I did not know how long I had been asleep for, and I also did not know why I had fallen asleep. I just remembered gas or something...but that was it.

I sat up and I opened my eyes. I faced the wall of the Spot, and I looked to my left. At Rory.

[rory]

I woke up, stood up, and immediatley fell down again. I couldn't see anything and the last thing I remembered was falling of my stool because I was tired.

It seemed an age before I realised the reason I couldn't see was the fact that my eyes were closed. I opened them and saw a vision. I saw Mai.

Spike's POV

I woke up slowly, feeling as if a herd of elephants had tapdanced on my head. It took me a helluva lot of time to realize where I was. I was looking down at the floor of the Spot which seemed to be blurring a lot. I shifted to get my leg out from under myself, turned and saw the most beautiful thing ever. Her blonde hair lay across her face as I looked at the most wonderful creature in existance.

A Slayer. My Slayer. Mai.

[Nicola Next]

((Ooh awesome. I only watched Get Over It this morning.))

I sat straight up and groaned, pushing a still sleeping arm to my head as if trying to prevent it from falling off from the pain. Thankfully I knew I was in The Spot and could start to get my bearings when my gaze shifted and I looked at Joshua

[Maya]

Ouch. that was my first thought. Followed closely by, what the f*ck!? and sitting up very quickly. So quickly that i got awful headrush that buggered my vision and increased the headache. I closed my eyes again, then opened them, and gasped. How had i never noticed that Killina was such a dish? Damn hes good looking! I thought. I glanced around to see Nicki gaping at the still unconscious form of Joshua. I shrugged.

[Joshua]

"I don't need this," 'J', my astral form mumbled as I looked down at my body and all the others. Then I saw Spike starting to move towards Mai, even as she kept glancing back at one of the half demons, no clue which one, I'm still learning names.

"Oh, like hell Spikey boy! You are NOT getting your hands on my woman!" I shouted at the un-hearing vampire. Then I stopped and gave some introspective thought to it, "That sounded freaky to the extreme in a woman's voice..."

Then Spike tried to make his move, and I interceded. Astral body meant no time powers unfortunately, but nothing about ninja powers. With an exertion of energy, several floor boreds tripped Spike up, but unfortunately just went shy of actually impaling him.

Oh well, I guess I can try again...

[Cervil]

I woke up with a sore head, and back, I had fallen off the stool and landed on my gun... ouch!!!!

I noticed my hat had slipped off my head and slid a few centermetres away... I grabbed it and put it on then got up. (I like my hat... wear it everywhere!)

I pushed my hat down firmly on my head and asked, "Ok, what just happened?"

[Jessy Jackson]

"Spike? What are you doing?" I tried to hold him back. "What is it? Tell me!"

"Mai. She's beautiful. Get off me." I stood back, stunned and saddened by his words. I watched him walking towards Mai. Mai.

No way did Mai deserve Spike. Mai with her fancy magic and slayer powers. No way she deserved him. She was just a show-offy b*tch.

(((By the way, you will have to wake up soon Joshua)))

[killian]

I woke up at the sound of someone's voice, feeling very disoriented. I opened my eyes, seeing Rachelle and shrugged. Nothing seemed wrong, except for the fact we were all lying on the ground, and everyone was gazing at each other like idiots.

[killian]

"Is everyone ok?" I asked, but no one answered me. They were still gazing at each other like idiots. I stood up, brushed down my trousers and came face to face with Maya, who was, gazing at me like an idiot.

"Hi Killian." She said, almost seductively.

I frowned. "Are you alright?"

She smiled. "I feel perfect." She said, taking my arm. My eyes widened at that.

"You bein' taking drugs or summat?"

[Cervil]

((( ok, seriously, what's going on? Everyone's waking up and looking at each other and falling in love with all the wrong people and... aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! It's driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!)))

(((What's going on?)))

[Maya]

((have you seen or read 'a midsummer nights dream'? The potion on the eyelids makes you fall in love with the first person you see, thus the craziness!))

"Drugs? No, why would you say that?" I looked around at the others, "I think they might have, but im just fine. Hey, why dont we go somewhere more private, huh?"
Killian looked positively terrified.

[Jessy Jackson]

I looked daggers at Maya. There were the most wonderful, perfect guy in the world and Rory doting on her, and she didn't care a fig. All she could do was make googlie eyes at Killian. That b*tch didn't know how good she had it.

(((People who still have to wake up: Zeroc, Arehdel, Aralin, Doc, T-pot, Joshua, Tucker and anyone else I haven't mentioned. THere is no getting out of it, I will make sure of that. THe only way to remain sane is to see the person your character is already in love with but Killian has already done that and you wouldn't like to copy would you? )))

[Aredhel]

((oh crap... I guess Aredhel's going to insane-land then, isn't she? Well, I might as well make this fun *evil laugh...wicked cackle...sinister guffaw* .....just don't ask))

I could not get over the pain in my head. I mean, really, how many headaches could I endure in a few nights? First there was the incident with Zeroc at the Spot, then there was my sister's return (which wasn't pleasant, despite her willingness to help me), and now this. I was starting to get a little bit angry.

"Whoever's responsible for this headache is going to DIE," I muttered darkly, pushing myself up and rubbing my eyes. I opened them and my eyes fell on te sleeping body of Zeroc.

I immediately slammed my eyes shut, feeling the spell take effect.

[No. Bad bad bad. Very BAD!] I thought to myself, holding my head. But it was no use. I let go of my head and opened my eyes, ignoring hte bit of my brain that actually had any shred of reason left.

I sat there idly, watching Zeroc and waiting for him to wake up.
