Library is open (12/7/05)

For everyone who needs to do research for projects.

He puts a quote up for the day on the door:

The quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, because then you don't have to chop through that pesky rib cage.

Marty leaned closer to Parker so he could make sure no one else could hear.

"Who would we ask as a consultant? It took forever to convince Tara that we should soul the big broody forehead, if we were any slower Rory and Logan would have been vamp food. We'll need someone who can move a little faster in the decision department. Got anybody in mind?"

"Two, although I don't know one of them well enough to be sure she'll do it," Parker said, lowering her voice. "Professor the Tick. His Criminal Justice class is actually really good-- I've eavesdropped a couple times. And we could use experience, you know? And Miss Calendar. She did a spell on Sunday, I think she's a witch as well as a subsitute teacher. What do you think?"

"I'm in his Justice class. It is pretty good, even though lately he seems to have this cartoon fetish. ~~Which I love!~~ He'd probably do anything as long as it was to promote Truth, Justice and the freedom to choose flatware."

Marty paused for a moment. "You said that Ms. Calendar did a spell on Sunday? Maybe I should drop by her office and get an idea of how she would feel about helping us out. I'll put a condition on it that we'll bring her on as an advisor if Zero approves of the advisor."

"You ask the Tick, and if you think Miss Calendar seems sane and helpful, I'll ask her later. *After* I talk to Zero about all this." Parker smiled wryly. "Any other ideas for new members?"

"We included Angela right? We keep adding people to the list it's going to get out of control. I'll check in on the new prof... though my judgement on sanity is a little fragmented since I came to school here. I won't do anything until you talk with Zero."

"I already mentioned it, yeah. Angela will probably have more questions for you later." Parker nodded. "I'll talk to Zero tonight." Her face darkened. "I need her help on something else anyway."

Parker frowned. "That reminds me. I ran into a 'friend' of Fangs' in the park last night. He was promising not to kill you for what happened with Dru, and offering information."

Marty frowned. "That's right. You mentioned that a little bit last night. Who the hell would try to kill me for getting into a fight with Dru? I mean Angel appears to be in check. Who was he and what information was he offering?

Parker rubbed the bridge of her nose, and sighed. "Spike, of Spike's pub, is evidently dating that whack-job, and he was inclined to mess you up for it. But he said he wouldn't, if I promised we wouldn't go after her. And he wanted to let us know that Bel has been bragging about getting a witch to remove Wings' soul *very* soon."

"Great. Just great. I know Bel has been checking out magic books at the bookstore. I asked Zero to see if he had checked anything out of the library, but she couldn't tell me directly for some reason." Marty frowned. "I don't suppose you could tell me or is that some top secret thing."

"Zero couldn't tell you directly because the Library wouldn't let her. *I* can tell you that he checked out a book on souls and soul-holdings back in early October, before we were more careful about Special Collections, and I don't think he's returned it. But I can check, and then tell Zero, who will be forced to go after him with a mallet if he didn't renew it." Parker smiled very slightly. "Which, hey, fun for all. And Spike said he wouldn't be going after the rest of us either, but I somehow doubt his promises. I got the impression he really doesn't like Angel, but he's even less fond of Angelus for some reason. We should ask Mr. Broody Hair what's up with that."

"You're going to send Zero up against a fireball tossing Bel? At least give her something more than a croquet mallet."

"Not without an asbestos suit, and telling Mr. Cole Turner what'll happen to him if he does that, then putting Rover on standby. And the Deans." Parker's smile went prim. "If he interferes with her in the execution of her duties as a Library Aide, I wonder if he gets detention?"
