Investigator's Club, the Library -- NFB

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

After kicking out everyone who wasn't a library aide, a Librarian, or incipient club member, Parker hung a sign on the outside door:

INVESTIGATOR'S CLUB MEETING
PRIVATE

Then adjourned to the counter, where the brownies, drinks, cookies, and fudge were.

Hopefully, more than just Marty, Zero, Janet and the Souled Wonder were going to show.

Angel, his eye ever on the ball, came into the library and didn't even wait for a hello before launching into his most immediate concern:

"Stake me now, they moved the math final to next week."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Parker said cheerfully, looking around for a spare chair leg. "Hold still."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel slumped into a chair. "And where were you with that courtesy before the play last night?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Re-writing my Languages paper from scratch, here." Parker grinned. "Besides, why would I have deprived the world of 'BEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!' Not to mention your imitation of the Bing. Heh."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That's it," Angel said. "I'm stealing your shoes and swiping them with pairs from Payless."

"After you tease me with a homicide and then just sulk?" Parker tucked her feet underneath her as she settled onto a couch. "I think not, O 'Magnificent Poof'."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel frowned at the nickname. "When were you talking to Spike?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rolled her eyes. "So you *do* know him. Tuesday night. Wanted to pass along a message and play Let's Make a Deal." She sobered. "Bel's been talking to witches and shooting off his mouth about getting you de-souled. Soon. *Very* soon."

All signs of humor and, for that matter, buffonery or uncertainty vanished from Angel's face.

"If that's your idea of a joke, I'm really not laughing."

[swerval_zero]

You did get photos, right? I'm only askin' for Twitch.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Many, many many many photos. And Barbossa got video." Parker's smile was blissful. "Happy Holidays!"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Still munching on fudge, Sam whispered, "Remind me to talk to you about pictures later. I had an idea."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oooo. Sure. Grab me at the end of the meeting." Parker checked her watch. "A few people said they'd be late, but I should probably start explaining our idea as soon as enough people are here."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Can do."

[swerval_zero]

*slow, wicked grin* Swerval. When does the DVD go on sale?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I'm guessing as soon as Barbossa can burn that bad boy to disc." Parker grinned. "Buy one for every person in your family!"

[swerval_zero]

No, no, it's a good thing! A stay of execution, like!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I studied!" Angel said. "Well, okay yesterday it was more like eating pizza and dreading the play. But there were math books on the table."

[swerval_zero]

But now you can study without the additional dread of the play hangin' over you! See, look on the bright side.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Like it could get really bright and then I'd be too dusty to take the test?" Angel suggested with a grin.

[swerval_zero]

Maybe not quite that bright. Clouds? Silver linings? Fluffy kittens--well, no, we had a bit of a bad experience wit' that one, didn' we?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Puppies," Angel suggested. He looked guiltily at Cam. "No, wait, not puppies. Um... really cute goldfish?"

[swerval_zero]

Yeah, right, goldfish! Goldfish could work!

If we disregard that incident with Willow...

From where she stood behind the desk, Rory glared at him, and thought about throwing pencils.

She helped herself to two additional cookies instead.

"You okay?" Parker asked when she came by. "You look a little tense."
