Charlie is going home today.

He's happy and munching chocolates.

"If you don't mind working with me," Angel said. "I - I think Bristow maybe told you about everything that I did? I can understand if maybe you don't want to be alone with me too often because of that."

"He did." Charlie nodded. And I am not mentioning any of this to Don. No way. He tilted his head, regarding Angel curiously. He looked the same, but... "No, I don't mind. I didn't before either, although now I'm thinking maybe I should have. But you were nice. You carried my blackboards."

"Oh," Angel said. Actually he did remember that, he just couldn't believe that that was all he'd done. Normally every relationship Angelus had had some kind of twist to it. But no such memories were coming forward for Charlie.

"Um," Angel said, clearly not sure if this was where the conversation was supposed to be going, but happy to go there if that's what Charlie wanted "I... could still do that. If you needed."

"That'd be great! Vampire strenght is very handy when it comes to that kind of thing," Charlie said, smiling. At least this version of Angelus was helpful too. Maybe this wouldn't be too weird and awkward. "My blackboards are where I need them to be at the moment. I am thinking about doing an experiment with the locker, though, so then I might need some help."


((ooc: *pets poor bewildered Angel*))

"Sure," Angel said. His shoulders untensed just a little. "What do you need?"

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

"Muscle. Oh and voluteers to travel through the locker and write me reports." Charlie idly scribbled a couple of theories down on a handy piece of paper. He looked up again. "I'm hoping to get it done sometime before Christmas. Hey, do you still have a photographic memory?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Uh - yeah," Angel said. He wasn't so sure about going through the locker, but on the other hand maybe Bristow would appreciate the show of help. Besides, what was the worst that could happen?

Oh. Yeah. Fandom High.

Oh well.

"Why?" Angel asked, focusing on the more comfortable topic. "Need something memorized?"

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

"Mmm." Charlie nodded and started shuffling through his papers. "I had a thing... I can remember the numbers but I'm not so good with words," he explained, finally finding the stack of statistics he was looking for. "It's for your... his.. your project. Populations, emigration, immigration. In New York, since New Amsterdam. It's my New York, though, because I'm not really sure where to look for this information for your world."

Angel sat forward. "I lived in New York for a while. I could maybe help you with that. The memory's not an automatic thing, but I can make it happen if I try."

He handed Angel the stack of paper. "You did? That's great! Could you look these over and perhaps see if something seems very wrong to you? Or if something leaps out? Do you have markers?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Not on me," Angel started to skim the papers. "What am I looking for? Patterns? Names that shouldn't be there? Other?"

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

"Those things, yes." Charlie craned his neck to see where Angel was. "And perhaps take note of areas where vampires would or could live in your world?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Angel said, absently. He reached out for a pen and started to make notes. He was clearly spotting something that was making his mental wheels turn, but he could also be interrupted with a question if Charlie was curious.
