Prepping for the apocalypse -- In the Library

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

From reports outside the school, there are minor zombie attacks still going on.

Methos eyes the Doctor as he goes through the crowd of students, reassuring and supporting them with his very presense. Methos waves vaguely in the direction of his forehead in an off-hand salute to the other professor.

Right now, Methos has a different responsibility. What was he thinking, getting all the blade-users under his command? "Right, let's get the only people with an off-hand chance of killing you, accidentally or on purpose, and put them REALLY REALLY close to you." He shook his head. "All right!" he says loudly. "Anyone who uses, by preferance and by skill, a bladed weapon, get over here."

They still needed leaders for groups marshelling heavy-power weaponry (a couple of people were saying the names, "Jack" and "Charlie") and another for more standard projectile weapons, but Methos assumed that the medical team would center around Janet.

{OOC: That's an open invitation for anyone who wants to head up the other group to step up and be a leader...]

"Non-humans, immortals, magic users," Angelus spoke up, his demeanor firm and brooking no questions. The look of concern he gave to everyone assembled was strangely geniune. "With me. I don't want anyone on the front line who can't take a hit."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos eyes the student. Great. Shouldn't our chances be better if so many of us are immortal? Then again, what's the line about you're immortal till you...

"Love to join, but I'm busy here. I'm sure it will be different... later."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fine," Angelus said. "You look like you know how to use that thing. Stay in charge of that and protect them."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos shakes his head. "Boy scouts. I'm surrounded by boy scouts."

"I just want to keep everyone alive," Angelus said. "Well - everyone of us alive. The zombies I want dead. Actual dead this time."

Illyana looks over when she hears Angelus.

Magic user...

She does that.

She looks at Methos. "Sorry sir, but I'm with him."

She steps to Angelus' side and looks around the library. She doesn't know Methos, but she knows Angelus.

"We need to protect this school," Angelus told Illyana. "Can I trust you to do that? No tricks, or we're having it out here and now. I don't have time for evil schemes."

[thedarkchylde.livejournal.com]

Illyana raises an eyebrow at Angelus' words. He looks the same, bu he suddenly doesn't sound the same. Has he been drinking the funny kool-aid?

"If only for the handful of people I actually give a damn about here you can trust me. Evil schemes won't do much good against zombified fucks, anyway."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fine," he said. "Let's hear what you've got. And keep that sword away from me."

[thedarkchylde.livejournal.com]

Yes, Angelus has definitely been drinking the funny kool-aid.

"I can use swords, I have a sword forged from my soul that cuts through anything non-human or magickal. I can open a portal to anywhere I need to to either get people to safety or attack things. I'm a demon sorceress who can cast about anything. If none of his keeps me from getting gravely wounded, my demons in Limbo can retrieve my body and heal me."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

A slow half-smile spread on Angelus's face. "How are you with fire?"

[miss-monochrome.livejournal.com]

::looks over at mention of Non-humans, but then hears Rogue volunteer to lead the gun people. not wanting to annoy Angelus but also not wanting to, you know, die, she can't help asking::

Er, is it ok if the non-human but non-immortal people go with the gun people instead?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That's fine," Angelus said. "I want everyone who can get hurt to be someplace safe. Sure you're okay with the gun?"

[miss-monochrome.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, trust me. I...I can handle it. Thanks. ::runs off to join the gun people::

Faith came running into the Library, carrying a bulging bag. "Angelus, hey- been looking all over for you- got the weapons you wanted. There was a giant bear thing in the ship, and I didn't understand a word he said, so I don't think they're coming here."
She paused to catch her breath. "Woah, dizzy. I think I need to sit down for a minute. Everything's fuzzy."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus bent down and put a hand on her back. His expression was worried. "Faith? You okay?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

Faith leapt up at the touch of his hand and grabbed a stake out of her bag. "F-Faith?" she asked, confusion plain on her face. "What the hell are you talking about? And stay away from me!" she yelled, brandishing her stake.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What's wrong? What happened?" Angelus moved back, holding up his weaponless hands. The look of worry did not leave his face. "Did you get attacked?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

"What's wrong? What's wrong? There's a soulless vampire here who's trying to act like we're friends when he knows damn well that I should be staking him right now, and look at me!" FaithBuffy said, looking down at herself. "This isn't even my body! You did this, didn't you!"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Did what?" Angelus demanded. "Faith, it's me. It's Angel."

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

Non-Human, check.

Immortal, check.

Magic user, check.

I am not a spell thrower, and I am somewhat human, but I am mostly immortal for sure. My magic can't help us, unless you need an inter-library loan from some other Shadow, but I have a kick ass blade I borrowed off of DEATH in the clinic and there is nothing the zombies can do that will kill me. I don't have time to explain, just take my word for it, I am front line material and know how to dismember undead.




((ooc:I will be in and out for the next few hours, use me as you need to, I can guard the entrance, watch you back or whatever you need.))

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Good," Angelus said. "You're on the team."

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

I am ready to whack. Zombies only though.
