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.

"Yeah," Logan said. "Not something I'm in favor of."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "Yeah. But then again, I didn't exactly want to have him land on me last night, either. So I'm just ignoring him for the time being."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. "Yeah, been there, done that. Can't say it was a picnic having him around when Willow we stuck his soul back on the first time, after the things he'd done."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I still don't see how this makes him better," Rory grumbled. "All it gives him is a conscience. He could still do it all again. He'd just feel bad for it."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander raised a hand. "Hey, you won't catch me throwing him a welcome back pyjama party any time soon. I've been in the Angel is trouble whether he has a soul or not camp from Day 1." He shrugs. "But when he's Angel, he does try to help, or at least he tried to help Buffy, which usually meant the rest of us got the fringe benefits."

[fh_jackass]

Logan looked at Xander. "You knew him before? With the soul?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. "Can't be sure we got here from the same exact Sunnydale, but the version I knew had a soul when we met him. And then he kind of... misplaced it. In unpretty ways."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"So how likely is he to misplace it again?" Rory asked, quirking a brow.

[soldtoarmenians]

"I don't even know how it happened this time," Xander said. "The curse is supposed to be about true happiness, which back in Sunnydale apparently meant sleeping with one of my best friends, not that there wasn't a time when I would've agreed with that definition. We tried to stick it back on him, she sent him to hell before we knew if it took, and when he came back, we found out it did. How he got from there to the guy who kept putting out his Morleys on my bedspread, I got no idea."

Rory nodded thoughtfully. "So we just have to make sure he has no sex. Easy."

She was about to say more when Bridge bounced up to her side.

[ooc: Bridgey modded with permission, in the interest of allowing Xand and Logan to talk without the hovering girlfriend. :)]

"Hey, Rory?" Bridge says. "Uh, there's something I think you should know. About Angel."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory sighs, and with a quick nod to Logan and Xander, turns her attention to Bridge. "What now? That he's heavy? This I knew."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge sticks her tongue out at her. "No, this is about..." he does a vague handwavy motion. "Remember how I told you I could, like, read auras and emotions and stuff?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, yeah. You did it to me, remember?" Rory says, smiling.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Right. Okay, so I asked Angel if I could do it to him, 'cause I wasn't sure if I should just trust what people told me to believe about him being good. And it was... he's not evil," Bridge says solemnly, "and trust me, I'd know if he were, 'cause that's the one thing I've been especially working on being able to detect with my abilities."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory stares at Bridge, and finally shifts her gaze to where Angel was across the room. "He's not?" she asks softly. "You're positive?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge nods solemnly. "Absolutely, one hundred percent sure."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory bites her lip. "Did it say that he's good, or just...not evil?"

Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander snickers at Rory's comment, then turns to Logan. "This is actually the first time I've been this far into the library here," he says, looking around. "Ducked in to pick up a few books, but kind of avoided the place other than that. It's bigger than the one at my old school. Also hopefully lacks the portal to hell underneath it."

Re: Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[fh_jackass]

"It's got Special Collections," Logan said. He leaned back and stuck a foot on the table. "Don't know what's in there, but there might be a portal to hell." He paused. "Well, I do know one thing that's in there," he said with a grin.

Re: Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[soldtoarmenians]

"That student handbook on how to survive Fandom High that we never seemed to get issued?" Xander offers.

Re: Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[fh_jackass]

Logan snorted. "If one ever existed, Bristow probably had all the copies burned. I think he likes keeping us in the dark. No, according to my girlfriend, the library aide, that's where the librarian keeps his porn."

Re: Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really." Then he made a face. "And ok, no, no, no, with the mental images of my last librarian having a porn stash. Bad. I banish thee."

Re: Xander and Logan are totally not listening. But not because they're talking about porn. Nope.

[fh_jackass]

"Oh, and picturing this librarian with porn is a good image?" Logan asked, raising his eyebrows.

[[ooc - I'm scooting home from work, which is gonna take about an hour, unfortunately - I'll be back as soon as humanly possible! Feel free to mod Xander if you two need to; I told Angel the same thing.]]
