Investigator's Club, the Library -- NFB

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.

[OOC: Now with OCD check-in, explanation, faculty, and Officer threads!]

"There's rumors that someone's going to try to de-soul Angel over here. So. If you hear anything, see anything, *know* anything? Let us know." Parker looked around. "A lot of our strength is purely in numbers."

"And I'd like to keep my furniture unbroken. If anyone knows anything, let me know so I can secure breakables," John jokes even though the thought of someone trying to desoul Angel is a bit scary.

"Bel's up to something," Angel said. "I don't know what, but he wants Angelus in the worst way." There was a pause. "And again I'm regretting the way I chose to phrase that."

Callisto did not snicker, because that would be counter-productive. "From what I've seen so far, Bel's hardly the most subtle plotter. Unless that's a deliberate smokescreen, shouldn't be too hard find out at least part of what he has planned."

"Would Bel do this alone or would he have help?"

"He's been seen talking to Darla," Angel said.

"It was also mentioned on the radio that he was talking to Spike about Angel," Veronica reminded him.

"Spike could go either way," Angel said. He paused, "Which actually isn't phrasing that I'm regretting now that I've said it."

"That loophole on the spell just leaves you with a one-track mind, doesn't it?"

"And does he have any experience *casting* spells? Because fireballs and teleportation are fine, but they don't channel elemental forces." Parker narrowed her eyes. "Would Darla, Dru, or Spike be able to do it?"

"Dru and Spike did a spell back in the day to leech power from Angel and make Dru better," Xander said. "I don't know how much harder it might be to get his soul out by magic, but I wouldn't count them out.""

"Depends on the magic," Angel said. "There's some spells that anybody can cast if they've got the right ingredients and rhyming scheme. Others you need a witch."

"Good luck trying to cast any of my people's spells without a lick of ability in witchcraft," said Jenny. "No, really, good luck. I'll be laughing at them."

"I don't know anything about the magical side of things, but he has been ~~playing matchmaker~~ recruiting."

"Note to self: Take out a note on the radio about this." Parker suddenly smirked. A lot.

"Heheheheh...."

Callisto looked across at Parker. "You okay?"

"Fine. Just had an evil idea. Which I will not do. No, no." Parker sighed. "Because it would be doing exactly what I told Logan not to: antagonize Fangs & Wings for no good reason. So I shall not do it."

"C'mon, Parker, spill..."

Marty raises his hand from the back of the room.

"Can I make a security suggestion? Since Hairboy's alter ego has proven himself to be a good actor, I think it might be a wise suggestion for him to have a check up once a week. That green-skinned guy at the bar... he can tell if he's souled or not, right?"

"Seconded." Parker grinned. "Can we make it public?"

"Whatever. Just as long as we got him checked out."

Faithful groaned. "As long as I'm not there."

"Lorne?" asked Jenny. "Is he going to be willing? Guy's got a few issues."

"Does he have issues with having his place burned down or becoming a light snack? I'm thinking that having hair-boy checked out once a week is more pleasant alternative.

"No, I mean Lorne's got issues with Angel," said Jenny. "Personal ones. I'm thinkin' it'd be nice not to have to go to him if we don't have to."
