Library [05/31]

Rory, whose hair was already starting to frizz and curl due to humidity, opened up the library Wednesday and plunked herself behind the desk with a book.

She made a mental note to see about getting a fan in there, too. Because gah.

['Tis summer, so no OCD, yays!]

Rory nodded. "That might've been what it was called, yeah. It was this evil vampire Darla who did it to my friend Angel. But he lived and he's fine and all is well."

Dawn didn't slam her head into the desk, but it was close. There was a lot of eyerolling, though. "Darla sucks. And you really found a way to save Angel without draining a slayer? That's impressive."

Not to mention something she'd have to tell her Giles for future reference, since people seemed to like shooting Angel.

"You don't have to tell me twice that Darla sucks," Rory sighed. "She grabbed me, drugged me, threw me in a closet and threatenet to kill or turn me last year. And I wasn't so much involved in the cure - mostly I was sneaking around a Watcher library in London finding absolutely useless information."

Dawn smiled slightly at Rory, sensing a kindred victim type. "If it makes you feel any better? Back home I used to get kidnapped all the time. Almost weekly."

"The Watcher library?" Dawn made another note about important things to tell Giles. "How useless are we talking?"

"Ick," Rory winced in sympathy. "Yeah, I've been nabbed once, almost twice, and there was a whole...thing," she waved her hand vaguely in the direction of her neck, "last year. So you have my sympathies."

"Um, useless inasmuch as a lot of it was in demon languages that I can't read," she continued. "Xander read Latin aloud and set a book on fire by accident. But they didn't have much of anything to help us."

"Demon languages? Oooh." Dawn didn't know many, or much of those that she did, and Giles said her pronunciation was 'horrid,' but it was still a relief to hear that the sources of information hadn't been permanently and completely lost. "So who came up with the cure for Angel? Which was what, by the way?"

"I want to say Janet might have," Rory said thoughtfully. "I know it was a group effort, since Bridgey had to detect who was a Chosen One, but we were all scared he wasn't going to make it."

She shook her head. "He looked awful. And I have no idea what the cure itself was, since I wasn't in there when they gave it to him. But I'm pretty sure it was the combined blood of the Chosen people."

Dawn blinked a lot. "Wow. That's...wow. I'm glad it worked."

"Me too," Rory agreed. "He's in LA now and doing really well, and actually managing to stay in contact and away from people who'll poison him. So yay."

"Yay," Dawn agreed.
