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.

"You touch me and I'm staking you," Logan said, getting up from the desk.

[swerval_zero]

There will also be no staking people in the Library!

"Guys, you don't want to know what the Library will do if you keep threatening each other where Zero might have to do crap. So cut it out, will you?"

"Then don't get in his way," Parker said, turning around. "It's not like he's going to be the only one here. Damnit, Echolls. Do you have a better idea for keeping an eye on him, that doesn't actually involve *watching* him? Crichton's too nice and Aeryn's only one person. If we have twenty people watching him for a slip, you and Rory are twenty times safer. Unless you have a better idea."

[fh_jackass]

Logan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "No, keeping an eye on him is good. Trusting him is bad."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Echolls, you know me. You know Blank. Do you see either of us trusting him farther than we can push him into a sunbeam?" Parker sighed. "If you don't want to be here, I understand. Part of the reason I invited you is because Rory wanted to be here. I wasn't going to do this behind your back."

[fh_jackass]

Logan nodded. "I'll stick around."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Good. Thank you." She shook her head. "Just-- when I am the one having to be reasonable, you *know* it's bad."

"What part of don't come near me wasn't getting through, Logan?" Angel demanded. "Do I need to say it slower? I don't want to see you, talk to you, or be within a thousand feet of you. Now the school's not so big so I'm willing to compromise on that last part. But gimme the rest and I'm content as a clam."

"Photographic memory on my feelings for you: lather, rinse, repeat. And deal." Parker took a deliberate step into his space. "This is not *your* club, Wings. It's Zero's, if it's anyone's. You were invited here, the same as Echolls, for the same reason."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel glowered, but didn't dispute Parker's words. "Keep him out of my way. That's all I'm asking."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough." Parker went over to kick Marty on the ankle so he'd wake up. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/442488.html?thread=20610936#t20610936)

"Hey, um, Angel dude?" Bridge pipes up. "I gotta question for you, sort of."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No, I do not have pictures of me at the pagent last night. And, if I did, I would not be sharing them."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Uh, no. That's not, um..." Bridge fidgets a little. "It's just. See, I've talked to you, and you seem cool. But... I saw what Angelus did to Rory," he shivers, "and I was wondering if maybe I could, like... check? To see if you're good like you say you are?" he waves a hand vaguely.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel took in the hand waving and tried to guess what it was supposed to mean. "Um. Okay, Bridge, it's not that you aren't attractive or anything. And I'm sure - " Angel mimicked the hand wave " - is a lot of fun where you come from. It's just that me and relationships, even casual, are a bad idea. Especially on the whole 'trying to keep me from being evil' front."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge giggled a little. "No, I mean. I'm kinda... I could read your aura. To sense if you're all evil or not," he clarifies.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Angel said, as understanding dawned. He looked curious. "You read people's auras with your hands? And we're sure that's not a come-on line?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Bridge grins. "Hence... gloves!" He tilts his head, "... do you think that'd work as a come-on line?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Depends on the person, but yeah," Angel said. "Again not me 'cause trying to avoid going evil. But put it the right way and it could work. Um - what am I supposed to do? Hold my hand out?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nah," Bridge says and takes off a glove, "the hand thing is all on my part."

He waves a hand in Angel's direction and then slips his glove back on, leaning back in his chair with an-ever-so-thoughtful "huh..."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel tensed up, as though expecting Bridge's reading to tickle. He felt nothing, then frowned at Bridge's response. "Huh? What huh?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Blue-green," Bridge clarifies. "Or maybe green-blue. But definitely not navy, because the greeny side had too much green to be navy. Maybe it was more like... aqua..." he trails off. "Um. That's good."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Really? I always thought green made me look washed out. You know, 'cause of the pale?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nah, gotta say... looks good on you, dude. If it was red then maybe I'd worry."
