The Library, Saturday Morning

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor sleeps better than the day before, to tell the truth. While he'd never been one for violence, he was one for action...and it wasn't as if he hadn't observed plenty of war. Sometime in the night, he felt CJ leave, but then she came back, so it was all right, and he continued to doze until the morning.

Now that said morning was here, it took him a moment to open his eyes and face just exactly what the library looked like in daylight, which was Pretty Damn Awful. And so he closed his eyes again, only to open them a second later. There was organisation to be done if they were going to continue to put up an adequate defense.

It struck him that perhaps they should merely attempt to get to a safe place, but the TARDIS was so very, very far away. The dorms had always put him slightly on edge, which meant that they could have some protection on them, but then again--he turned to look at just who was in the library--those who were here would probably think that giving up a battle to save their own backs was cowardice.

Obviously they hadn't lived long enough.

So the best 'acceptable' idea would be to get organised. Now. He slowly kissed CJ's cheek and then stood up to face the day.

And then he cleaned his sword, and started to wake the military types.]


((OOC: This post is meant to organise those in the library into an adequate defensive force, seeing as there's time to do so. He's currently waking up those who he sees as having some kind of military leadership background, and delegating.
Why delegating? I'm gone most of this afternoon (afternoon to those of you in the US/Canada), and can't organise it myself. I trust you know your characters and that they can do a good job. The Doctor himself can be NPCed by anyone who knows the recent fandom decently well; just remember that he will not, under any circumstances, EVER use a gun. The sword is a bit OOC, but frankly, I couldn't think of any way to fight zombies with a sonic screwdriver. Anyone who has a canonical problem with it can talk to me.
Have a good day, and I'll hopefully see you tonight. [turns off email commenting]))

"Yeah, Aeryn knows how to get to the lockers."

"Good," Angelus said. "We need everyone who can fight to be carrying something. Guns, swords, flamethrowers, the works."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Flamethrowers sound very efficient right about now," Cameron agreed.

::for some strange reason, Cally perks up at this::

We have flamethrowers? Where?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*grins* Dunno, we'll have to see when we get there. You want one?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::grins:: I think it might do a bit better than this little thing. Plus, I won't have to worry so much about aiming.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Alright, just try not to set anyone else on fire?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::nods::

Deal. ::smile::

[ooc: Need to go make Flamethrower Cally icon now... somehow... ::grins::]

((Hee! Damn, I think we need to hurry and leave before the shit hits the fan.))

"Science labs, kitchen, any alcohol available on campus," Angelus rattled off. "We can put weaker students up on the higher floors and have them attack from there. They may not be able to fight, but gravity will take care of the rest."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nodded, thinking it over. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea. If we could block up the staircases and set up defense behind them? Although it might be easier to defend one room instead of spread thin."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Anybody got a blueprint of this place?" Angelus asked of no one in particular. To Cameron he said, "Only if we can really fortify it. Otherwise we're turning them into sitting ducks. Got any ideas?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"All we've got is furniture," Cameron shrugged. "Maybe dragging everything in here is actually for the best. We control the exits better. We should push the book cases against the windows too."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't be the first time I've protected a library," Angelus said. "Okay, let's do it. Get the strongest to barricade the windows, get everyone who can do a magic spell to ward the place. We should be able to make it solid enough to withstand zombies."

Angelus's lips tightened into a thin, humorless smile. "Here's hoping it's just zombies."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I understand. Shit, we're moving out. How about you stick around here and help everyone fortify the library? I'll bring you some shiny weapons along?"

"You got it," Angelus said. "I'm stronger, I can move more than most. Swords, axes, stakes - anything sharp and I'm on it. I can use projectile too but save those for the students who really need them. And Cameron - " Angelus put his hand on Cameron's arm, his expression frank, and sincere. "Thanks."

Cameron looks surprised for a moment as he's heard weird things about Angelus, but he nods and smiles. "No worry. I'm on it man. Keep safe." With a grin, he follows Aeryn out.
