They'll have time. The party's not scheduled to end for another hour yet, and the sacrifice is scheduled for after.

Oh good. The Bureau rolls up around the frat house, sirens blaring. He jumps out of his car and runs up to Karen and gives her a hug. You okay?

Permalink

Hug. I'm fine, I stuck to the not drinking anything plan. College parties are definitely evil, although I think this one is an above-average amount of evil.

Permalink

I guess in hindsight if everything in Sunnydale started out evil and we went around scouring evil from everything but the college party scene...

Permalink

Mhm. Is Faith OK?

Permalink

Not awake yet. Slayer healing is pretty powerful, I expect she'll be fine. 

Permalink

Oh I mean the poison's not a problem. The problem is why they go around poisoning people. But they did seem pretty committed to the handing her over to demons plan.

Permalink

He switches his attention over to the front doors of the frat, where a college-aged boy is angrily observing to the Bureau that his father knows the chief of police and there's definitely no one underage here.

 

When she wakes up I want to talk with her; we might want to wait until they summon the demon to interrupt the ritual, as that's our opening to kill it. But I think it'd be the call of the girls we'd be using as bait.

Permalink

Faith'd probably be down for it, not that I know her very well. I dunno about the other girl and the one in the basement.

Permalink

Might be a no-go. Maybe we can make them complete the summoning without the girls present. This will probably require threatening something worse than what the demon'll do to 'em but, hey, I bet I could manage.

Permalink

Maybe!

I don't think she'll wake up in the next few minutes, are you guys planning to let the party keep going until she does?

Permalink

Undecided, what do you think?

Permalink

I guess if the sacrifice is set for after the party, then I'd let it go until the party ends, let the guests start going home so most of them are out of the way, and then if Faith hasn't woken up by then you could go in and end it.

Permalink

 

The cops permit themselves to be shooed/threatened off. He watches intently for signs anyone is in imminent danger.

Permalink

Nothing imminent, no.

Faith wakes up chained to a wall in the basement.

Permalink

Hey Faith! Turns out, evil fraternity doing demon summoning. You okay?

Permalink

Hell of a headache, but I'm in one piece.

Permalink

We can bust in any time but we were kinda considering waiting for the demon so we can kill it. Your call - well, you and the other kids, I didn't want to start talking in their heads out of the blue but you can feel them out.

Permalink

Well, one of them is still unconscious and the other one is sobbing quietly.

I think we're down for it. Let's gut a demon.

Permalink

This is not the highest standard of consent but killing demons is important actually. 

 

They wait.

Permalink

The fraternity members stand around chanting and cutting themselves with knives and threatening the girls when any of them talk.

All right, I think it's coming up in the next minute here -

Permalink

The team at the door plants plastic explosives on it which will explode it the instant this seems needed.

Tell us when.

Permalink

People chant. The demon comes up from a hole in the ground.

Now.

- damn, reptile boy's ugly.

Permalink

The door explodes. So does a good chunk of the wall around it. A team of armed people storm the basement, shouting 'police'. They open fire on the extremely ugly demon.

Permalink

The demon was not really expecting to be shot a bunch. It screams and attempts to attack people, but it's actually not very good at dealing with being shot bunch, and it goes down.

The fraternity members mostly stand around awkwardly.
