Dru's Classroom: the formation of a new club

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After his meeting with Grissom, Angelus made his way to Dru's classroom. He smiled. She'd left it for him to open, just as she'd promised.

He opened the door, switched on the lights, searched Dru's supplies for some poster board, then got to work.

It was going to be a long day.

"Well, I'd imagine that you have a lot of work to do before the debate, so for you staying in would be normal."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"True enough," Angelus grinned. "Hey - good luck tonight."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, oh, I'm Alanna by the way." She holds out her hand to shake.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Angelus," he held out his hand in return. He gave her a quizzical look. "Human?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna raised a brow. "Mostly. How do you define Human?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Usually as vampire, demon, alien, robot, or other," Angelus said. "But Fandom High's giving me an education. No offense intended by the way. Vamp myself so it's hardly an insult in either direction."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well, then I'm human. I just have the Gift." She blinks. "Vampire, wow, that's new."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Or old, depending on your point of view," Angelus grinned. "Though compared to some vamps I am a baby."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna smiled. "And if you don't mind me asking, what do you define as a baby?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Me personally?" Angelus held out his hands, keeping them apart about the length of a loaf of bread. "Small person, about yay big." He grinned. "But if you're a 500 year old vampire I'm a whippersnapper."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna grinned. "Are you from this world? Or, like me, kinda tossed over here?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Tossed over," Angelus said. "Used to live on a Hellmouth. Compared to that Fandom High is... not actually that different."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna laughed. "I'd hate to see a place that was not that different from Fandom High. Then again, I can't say life at Chorus was that different."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Chorus," Angelus repeated. "Offhand I'm guessing this didn't involve people in robes singing gospel songs."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna imagined anyone she knew singing in robes and burst out laughing. "Well, we have Priests who teach us, but I'd hate to hear them sing, they put me to sleep as it is. Chorus is the capital of Tortall, the country I come from." She snickers as the image of Jon in a robe looking angelic floats past her minds-eye.

"Ahh," Angelus said. "Mine was called Sunnydale. It was a one-Starbucks town. Not much to brag about. Well, besides the Hellmouth."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna frowned. "Starbucks? I'm guessing that means small town right? And a Hellmouth?" Her brows go up. "I grew up in a 'small town', Trebond, but I've been in the capital for the past six years and it's far from small."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Coffee shop," Angelus explained. "Most towns have about a thousand. Sunnydale? Just one. As for the Hellmouth..." Angelus folded his arms, looking thoughtful. "We're understanding each other on 'hell', right? Not a fun place? Very few things there which you could describe as cute or fluffy?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Ah! Coffee is of the good." Alanna nodded. "We don't have a 'hell', just an after life, but I've been reading so I have some idea on what it is. So you lived on the mouth of Hell?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Angelus tapped his nose to indicate she'd gotten it right. "Which meant plenty of demons, monsters, more apocalypses than you could shake a stick at... you see how Fandom High isn't much different."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"That almost sounds like fun." Alanna replied with a smile. "You sure you didn't just move the town here? Any zombies? All we got were attacking armies from Tusaine every once in a while. And those were on the borders."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Tell you true, I don't know that we didn't," Angelus admitted. "But things are wacky where I come from. We're no strangers to other dimensions and timelines. In fact not all the people here who say they're from the Hellmouth are from the same Hellmouth I am. It's made for some comical misunderstandings."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna blinked. "I think I've been here long enough that that actually made sense. Thankfully, I'm the only one here from my world, as far as I know."


((I think there was a bet going on around here somewhere about how long it would take before Alanna's daughter showed up.))

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"So what's your place like?"

[ooc: Some days I wonder if somebody will think to play Angel's son Connor.]

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna chewed on her lip. "Think your Middle Ages, only cleaner and with Magic. And a lot of Gods."


((Ooc: I nearly got run over by a car thinking that. Was walking home and pondering FH plotlines, suddenly, hey what if Connor shows up. Oops, is that a car?))
