Giles was in the bar, having a cuppa, and reading.

That's all.

He's welcome to distractions since he's still getting his bearings on the place.

Don't look now, Giles... there's a Dark God at your elbow.

"Good book?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

It's that book of Enochian magic again.
Giles startled a little, almost dropping the book.

He straightened himself, and evenly said, studying the figure oddly, "Yes, it's quite fascinating."

[ariseinmight]

Melkor peers over Giles' shoulder at the book, instantly understanding the meaning, if not the specifics.

"Dangerous magics for one so fragile."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles replied stiffly, "It can be if improperly applied. However, it remains highly useful to study thoroughly, rather than cavalierly using it." The fact is, there was times that he had to use extremely dangerous magic for good reason. Also for bad reasons, but that was before he understood the effects completely.
"Otherwise, one does not know the price one is paying to utlise such powers."

[ariseinmight]

Melkor sits nearby.

"Yes," he all but hisses. "There is always a price to consider."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles frowned at that, getting a sense of unease from talking to this individual. And a innate sense of wrongness permeated the air.

"Yes, only most realize this fact too late."

[ariseinmight]

"So true. You are unexpectedly wise for a Man. How are you called?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles caught the implication of that sentence in a moment. Of course, it had long been believed that names held power, and it was unwise for a magic practioner to give away their true name. Lest their enemies could hold power over them, or destroy them. Plus, using the term, 'man' in a such way, implied that this being was not so. Possibly one of power as he was warned about? And his instincts were warning him that yes, powerful, and dangerous.

He nodded, "My thanks. I am called Giles by many." Which was true.

"May I inquire as to how you are called?"

[ariseinmight]

The care that Giles takes in answering is not lost on Melkor. He is one who understands the power of Naming. He must tread carefully with this one.

"I am he who is named Morgoth Bauglir."

Dru is a distraction. Not sure she's a welcome one though...

Here she is anyway, watching Rupert from the shadows and humming softly to herself in a discordant, disjointed way.

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Possibly not, though it had been years since he saw her last, and on very bad terms considering she mentally tortured him with images of his late love.
He had heard curious news about her though.

He half turned in his chair, wondering if someone was watching him. An unusual twist there. Watching the Watcher.

[prettymaids]

She steps forward out of the shadows and smiles at him.

"Evening pet..."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles frowned at her. It had been years, but there were definite scars.

"Drusilla. I had heard you were here. Also that you had a soul now as I understand it?"

[prettymaids]

"Little witch played with her tinkertoys and put it back where it belonged.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, I once was Lost and now am Found."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles replied carefully, "I see." No, he still didn't trust her one jot, but bearing the rules in mind. No business.

[prettymaids]

"Liar," she tells him flatly, before laughing her crazy laugh. "The Watcher... he doesn't see. Blind like a little wormie in the cold hard earth."

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

Giles coldly replied, "Only because someone blinded me with trickery and deceit. I have not forgotten, and I know of your exploits before and after that time."

Nina is sitting a couple of seats over, picking at her dinner plate; she catches a glimpse of Giles, and frowns in confusion. What's Magius doing in a suit...?

She leans over. "Er... Magius, is that you?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

(ooc: was wondering when he was going to be confused for him. Hee!)

Giles blinked, "No... oh, you know him? No, I'm not Magius."

[ms-myers.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Poor Giles! :-D Is he your first muse at Milliways?]

"Oh... I'm sorry," and Nina blushed with an embarrassed laugh. "What's your name?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

(ooc: *L* Hardly, he's only the latest pup. Venkman's another of my pups)

"Rupert Giles, madam, at your service. And you are?"

[ms-myers.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Venkmaaaan, he rocks the socks of the Milliways. ^^]

"Nina Myers." She extends a hand for him to shake. "You've met Magius?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

(ooc: yes, he does. Venkman: *beams and winks*)

Giles shook her hand, "Pleased to meet you, and I have, the night I arrived in fact."

[ms-myers.livejournal.com]

[ooc: *flirts up Venkman like wo*]

"He must have been just as confused as I was," Nina laughs. "Where do you come from?"

[watcher-g-man.livejournal.com]

"There was clearly some mutual confusion for both parties, yes."

Giles smiled slightly, and replied, "Currently, I've been back in London."
