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.

"Oh no, I was born human," Angelus said. "Well, not exactly. Suffice it to say that you have to be turned into a vampire. Do the deed, crawl out of your own grave, bingo, bango, bongo there you are." He gave a friendly smirk. "Darla was something, but I don't know that anybody'd call her a lady."

Alanna raised a brow but didn't comment on the first part. "Well, I meet plenty of 'ladies' who are anything but, and they are usually far more interesting than the proper type."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"On that I would definitely agree," Angelus said. "Something about a girl who's not afraid to get her hands dirty."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna grinned. "You sure you were born in the nineteenth century?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Eighteenth," he corrected. "It's like the nineteenth but with different wigs."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna laughed. "Which one had the worst wigs?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Mine, OMG what was the Mutant Enemy costume department thinking?

"Never much fancied the powdered kind," Angelus said. "Always preferred more of a natural look."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

There were on crack. As usual.

Alanna nods, trying not to burst out laughing. "I think this century has by far the most comftorable and non-silly looking fashion."

"Tell me about it," Angelus said. "Where have Hugo Boss and Helmut Lang been all my unlife?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna blinked. "Who and who?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fashion des - uh, people who tell other people what clothes should look like," Angelus frowned, curiously. "Wow. So huge culture shock for you here, huh?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna grinned. "That's one way to put it. Girls, who are not me, in pants." She gestures to the clothes Angelus is wearing. "Things like that. Television."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, "I had a hard time figuring out how they got the little minstrels into the radio."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Iz dead. Again.

Alanna shook her head. "I've just settled for the 'If it works, fine, just don't tell me how' frame of mind. The people inside the box aren't real? Okay, but they act funny so it's enjoyable anyway!" She whispers back. "Radios scare me a bit, though."

"Most days I figure a wizard did it," Angelus said. "If it works and I don't understand how: magic. Makes my life simplier."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna shakes her head and holds her palm out. A small purple ball of fire forms there and quickly leaves. "That's magic. Little people are there because they're there. I am not going into the area of how they got there. Though, I have been reading a lot about medicine, that's usueful. And I agree on the simpler. We should form a club. The "People who are not quite from this era and have no idea how most technology works" Club."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus blinked at the ball of fire. "What was that?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna shrugged. "I told you, I'm Gifted. It's kind of like magic, that's one of the signs someone is. I'm a Healer mostly, though."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What's it do?" Angelus asked.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"You mean the fire? Or just the Gift in general?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I originally meant the former but now I'm curious about both," Angelus said, giving her his full attention. "If you don't mind, of course."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

I play dumb, it makes more dangerous. Thom's voice rang loud and clear through Alanna's mind, she ignored it. "Well, the fire is mostly for light, it doesn't do much else. It's mostly a sign that someone is Gifted. My own Gift is tuned towards healing, but I can do some battle magic as well. And some other random spells. Why so curious? What can you do?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nothing showy," Angelus shrugged. "Speed, strength - all more than a human's. But I didn't get any pocket torches to come with it as a sign."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna shrugged. "It's nothing that useful, I'm not a big fan of the cold, so I think it helps me more than the rest. Good speed and strenght are both very useful."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Won't say they don't come in handy," Angelus said. "Though around here sometimes simply having them seems to be reason enough for people to get me in trouble. Apparently they like myth more than fact."
