The Library (12/06/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocks the library, flips on the lights, and goes behind the Collections Desk. She checks in Methos' office to see if his delivery from yesteray has been opened yet. Or if it's still there. Then she starts looking up useful books for her Indo-European and Classics presentation and working on her independent study in math.

Posted for all to read are the Rules of the Library.

"You guys?" asked Jenny. "Convince you to kill yourself?" Okay, the elders hadn't told her Angel had gone nutty, but it pretty much looked like Angel had gone nutty. "You, uh, feeling okay there?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fine and dandy," Angel replied. "So why don't you go tell the First or whatever it is you're going by this time to piss off and leave me alone? I'm tired of it."

[romanywitch]

Jenny wrinkled her nose and looked Angel over. "Whatever it is I'm going by this time?" she asked disbelievingly. "How about 'Jenny Calendar?' Work for you?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Sure, and then in a minute you'll be Kitty Pryde," Angel said. "Then my sister. Then some random guy I killed in the street back in 1842. I've seen the magic act, I'm bored."

[romanywitch]

Jenny let herself glance to the left, then to the right. Okay, no crazy-making rays in the library that she could see. "Who's Kitty Pryde? Didn't know you had a sister. Also, not really up on random guys from 1842." Jenny shrugged. "And no, you haven't seen the magic act, because I've never done a magic act."

She'd gone from afraid to confused, and now she was getting kind of irritated. What the hell was going on?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? How about this one then?" Angel reached out to touch Jenny's arm - a touch that wouldn't connect if she was the First.

[romanywitch]

Jenny hadn't been expecting Angel to reach for her, and that definitely freaked her out. She gasped and jumped back, but her arm brushed against Angel's hand anyway.

"Hey!" snapped Jenny. "A little warning before you make with the touching, thanks."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel frowned. "Wait - that shouldn't have worked. If you're not the First, who are you?"

[romanywitch]

Jenny rubbed at the spot on her arm where she'd been touched. "Didn't we already go over this one?" she asked.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"But... I killed you."

[romanywitch]

"Yeah!" exclaimed Jenny. "You did. And thanks for that, by the way." She gave him an irritated look. "Did you notice how dead isn't really always dead these days?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well... yeah but how was I supposed to know?" Angel demaned. "Last year somebody who looked just like you was trying to get me to kill Buffy and then kiss the dawn. 'scuse me for being a little skittish."

[romanywitch]

"Well, hey, how was I supposed to know that?" asked Jenny. "I mean, hello, I was a little busy being dead at the time?"

She paused. "Wait, a sec. How the heck did somebody looking just like me show up? Shapechange spell?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"The First Evil," Angel said. "It can appear as anyone who's died. Last Christmas I got it in the Angel: This Is Your Bastard Unlife version."

[romanywitch]

"Ew," said Jenny. "I dislike the idea of being imitated by anyone, much less something icky like the First Evil, whatever that is. Time to add that to the mental list of 'things to research.'" She tilted her head and looked Angel over again, more consideringly this time. "You okay? Buffy okay?" She stopped herself before she could ask about Rupert.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel was taken aback by the question, but answered anyway. "Buffy's okay as far as I know."

Whether or not Jenny noticed a glaring omission in that answer was up to her.

[romanywitch]

"I didn't just ask about Buffy, Angel," said Jenny. "So. You okay?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel gave a non-committal shrug. "Got souled recently."

[romanywitch]

"Heard about that," said Jenny, not pushing. "Gotta say, the souled look works for you. You win any fashion awards for it yet?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No," Angel said. "Probably not likely to. Angelus did a fashion show not long before he got zapped. My guess is people won't have good associations."

[romanywitch]

"Angelus. Did a fashion show?" Jenny gave a quick shake of her head. "Does not sound like the kind of thing he's into. What, was it an evil fashion show?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

[romanywitch]

Jenny blinked a couple of times. "Not much with the explaining, are you?" she asked. "Everything okay from that? I mean, I'm not going to have to worry about kids showing up to my class and being attacked by evil clothing, am I?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No, it was just leather," Angel said. "Fundraiser for a trip to Vegas, which I ended up not going on. Again: soul."

[romanywitch]

"And again we get to the part where I think we're all better off with the soul here," said Jenny. "So. Enjoying high school? Making friends?"
