Parker opened the library, and started making plans. She may have been drinking a lot of coffee.

The Library is here for all your research and study needs.

Rory's back, and buried in a book.

No, she doesn't know what book. She's not paying attention, really.

Angela waves. "Hey, Rorita. Whatcha reading?"

Re: Sixth period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked and looked at the book.

"Um. A Midsummer Night's Dream, apparently."

Angela raises an eyebrow. "It's not like you to forget Shakespeare," she points out. "You're, like, five million miles away. What's up?"

"Just thinking," Rory said with a smile. "How are things? Have you talked to Marty since Friday?"

Re: Sixth period

[chasingangela]

"Things are okay," Angela says. "But I haven't seen him since Friday. Then again, I didn't leave my room until the superbowl party. Plus, I think I kind of freaked him out Friday night."

"Has he been in the library today?"

"Thought I saw him earlier, but I was fending off Parker," Rory said, making a face. "How did you freak him out?"

Re: Sixth period

[chasingangela]

"I, um, suggested he could stay in my room if he didn't want to be around his roommates," Angela says, blushing. "I mean, as a friend! And he shouldn't be alone with people who can teleport and throw fireballs after him."

Re: Sixth period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Aw," Rory said with a smile. "And that freaked him out? You were just being nice and all."

Re: Sixth period

[chasingangela]

"I know. Boys are strange," Angela said. "I think that's my theory, anyhow."

Remembering something else Rory had said, she asked, "Why was Parker after you? Does she want you to help her get revenge on Marty, too?"

Re: Sixth period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's a good theory," Rory agreed. "Um, no, Parker was just convinced that my good mood had some kind of...reason behind it."

Re: Sixth period

[chasingangela]

Angela smiled. "Sounds really annoying."

"Wait, does it?"

Angel came in looking for Parker.

Re: Sixth period

Who was twirling on her chair, bored out of her mind. "Hey," she said on one spin-pass, then stopped herself.

Re: Sixth period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Angel said. "Does the spinning help?"

Re: Sixth period

"Keeps me from re-arranging the library according to a system only I know. So yes." Parker raised an eyebrow at him. "Do you want that info I found?"

Re: Sixth period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hit me," Angel said. "Not literally."

"The good news? It's not easy to remove your soul. Bad news? It is possible." Parker sighed and pulled out her notebook. "Aside from your 'perfect happiness' clause-- which I don't see a way around, from what Miss Calendar said-- there's at least two magical ways to remove your soul. You'd need a fairly high-level practicioner of the magic arts for both, but once you had that, and the right artifacts, you'd be screwed, Wings."

Re: Sixth period

"I miss the old days when avoiding being screwed was all I needed to do to take care of this," Angel said. "Not saying it didn't make me cranky, but at least it was one less thing to worry about."

Re: Sixth period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Tell me about it." Parker looked grim. "And if I found two methods? There's probably a couple more out there that I didn't find. However, if a shaman from the order of Kun-Sun-Dai approaches you, run like hell. Or ask us to lock you up. They're definitely one of the ones that could do it."

She shot him a piercing look. "I did find a way to tell if you'd had a spell put on you-- but I'm thinking that I shouldn't tell you about it."

Re: Sixth period

"The less I know the better," Angel said. "If Angelus does come back I don't want him knowing how to trick anyone. On the other hand, if I start trying to kiss everyone in this school again I'm hoping you'll do whatever it takes to stop me."

"Even if it involves flamethrowers." She shook her head. "But I'd rather get Bel some goddamn therapy. He's the most immediate threat. Even your exes aren't the problem he is."

Re: Sixth period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"How's he dealing with Marty?" Angel asked. "We need to put Blank under lockdown for his own safety?"

Re: Sixth period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker looked perplexed. "I would've recommended that earlier today because they were doing their usual glare-hate-smolder routine, only with more focus on Bel's part, but then-- I don't know. They got to talking, and when they were done, Bel didn't look like he wanted to kill Blank any more. I have no idea what Marty said to him. It was extremely weird."
