Caritas - Sunday afternoon [Closed for business]

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB hadn't left the bar. No way was he leaving his magically protected business when there were trolls on the loose.

The bar was technically closed, but he wasn't going to turn anyone away who wanted to come in as long as they didn't seem likely to pick a fight. And if they were likely to pick a fight, he would be hiding behind the bar.

[OOC: Open for strategizing, not for business unless the strategizing people want drinks. No OCD threads from me.

And if you're meant to be here for the meeting, Zoe handwavily contacted you and told you to meet here. This means everyone involved in the finale, both the strike team and distraction. If you don't want to deal with showing up here, you can handwavily be picked up along the way.

Oh, and this is NOT the nightly Caritas post. That will be up later on.]

After remembering the protection spell on Caritas, Zoe headed straight there, to work on setting up a safe base of operation from which to work. As much as she wanted to be at the school, this place was a lot safer than her office.

This was the principal woman that even Becky was scared of.

Hidden behind the bar, GOB said, "Good afternoon, Principal. What can I do for you?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor nodded a bandaged head at Zoe.

"I'm not going to get in trouble for, erm, inciting the students towards violence, am I?"

[preacher-custer.livejournal.com]

Jesse? Had really been pissed that one of his neighbors kept playing some stupid movie at top volume for the past couple of days.

He'd have to blame his friend Mr. Daniels for not catching on sooner.

So, off for hair of the dog and some clue as to what the hell was actually happening.

Peter walked into Caritas, somewhat concerned. When the Principal calls you into her office, that's one thing. When she calls you into a bar across town, that's troubling. Still, he showed up. "Um. Hi. How's it going?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron saluted Zoe. He wasn't exactly sure why, but it felt like the right thing to do.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved a hand as she walked by Zoe. She's covered in dead troll dust and scratches.

"I'm fine, not hurt. Allllll good."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker came over from Efferton Manor, still pissed off about the two trolls she'd had to pistol-whip into stone.

There was a bad joke in there, somewhere.

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

After getting her ribs handwavey taped up, Jane needed a fucking drink.

So she headed for Caritas. Do not pass go. Do not collect $2.

Yes, just $2. She's from the 1870's, that's a lot of money.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB passed over a bottle of whiskey when he saw Jane come in. "I'm taking a guess here and thinking you'll want this."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor wasn't quite ready to let Jane out of his sight, and had followed her, bandages or no bandages. His left eye was beginning to bruise, and he'd splints on a couple fingers of his right hand.

"G'day everyone," he said, limping in.

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

Fucking nuts.

"Tino! Get the Doc a bag of frozen blue berries for his fuck ugly face."

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Once in a while, for no reason he could discern, Aziraphale got the feeling he needed to be someplace. He got that feeling on Sunday, and after making certain that Wilson had no plans to leave the apartment, he let that feeling lead him down to Caritas.

Walking in the door, he realized that there was something more going on than the usual business that the club conducted. He found a quiet place to sit, and to watch and listen.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor couldn't quite let Aziraphale go all quiet and observe-y, so he wandered over, bandaged head, black eye, finger splints and all, and sat next to him.

"How are you at miracles?" he asked.

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

Janice's place had, so far, been spared the effects of rampaging trolls, but that didn't mean it was going to last. And she was itching to get into the fray, but not before making sure all her valuable artifacts were carefully packed away and stowed in the basement.

. . . yeah, that took a while.

And now? She'd gotten Principal Washburn's message and showed up at Caritas, whip and revolver in place on her belt. (And extra ammunition stowed away, yes, thanks very much.)

A few drinks beforehand wouldn't be amiss.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam dragged her sorry self into Caritas, her left eye purple and swelling shut. She decided not to stand on ceremony, picked up a clean bar rag, and filled it with ice, which she then held to her eye as she sat and waited for the newest plan of attack.

She also wondered why they hadn't slept in there the night before--it was certainly warmer than the junkyard.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna came in at some point vaguely after Sam, definetly favoring her right side now.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Bleeding from the head, sparks burning a small hole in his pant leg, and limping due to the damage causing said sparks, Billy entered Caritas.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

None the worse for wear except for his clothes which were looking like he'd been beaten on by a troll, Clark came in. "I don't suppose anyone could lend me some kind of weapon."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron had cleaned up. Sort of. There was a very amateuristic bandage on his head which he had clearly done himself. His expression was grim and he didn't seem to care to engage into another strategy plan as the one he and the Doctor had come up with was only half successful. He was just waiting to get back into action.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam waved her ice pack at him.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi doesn't exactly flounce into the bar.

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

El sat down next to Pippi. "How are you feeling?"

His guitar case was on the floor next to him. A trained eye would not have noticed that it was the same guitar case he usually had.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn took a seat towards the back and waited to hear what else she could do.

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Seeing as the rest of their little attack group had come this way, Shawn decided the best idea might be to follow them.

So, he made his way into Caritas, looking worse than he had before his troll encounter of earlier, for obvious reasons. He's seems far healthier than some, however.

Shawn took a deep breath, "Anyone in need of a bit of healing?" It was about time he made himself useful.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel hobbled over on her crutches. It might not be the same as having Max heal her, but if it meant that she could get back out and find Jack it was worth it. "Hi, you said something about healing?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter was starting to feel the effects of being hit by very strong trolls, but he wasn't going to worry about that. He showed up, shield on his back and sword sheathed at his side and waited to hear the ideas and fight wherever he was needed.

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Having made an escape from the clinic, Seely dragged himself into Caritas.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You doofus." Parker glared at him. "What are you doing out of bed?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Newly freed and determined to help, Willow showed up at Caritas.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure you're well enough?" Peter asked, looking worried.

[notajar]

If Door looks a bit like she's clinging desperately to a second wind as she shows up, still clutching a sword, it wouldn't be an incorrect observation. She's fought trolls twice now on almost no sleep, and possibly far too much coffee.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved to Door from her seat in the back.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

So what if Doctor Lambert thought she was heading back to the dorms. Isabel could ice her leg just as well at Caritas. Cursing at the crutches and how awkward they felt, Isabel came in and took a seat. Then she heard someone make an offer (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1252296.html?thread=57007304#t57007304). Isabel climbed to her feet and walked over.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow gasped. "Oh my gosh, Isabel - are you okay?"

Announcement!

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe looked around at everyone who was there, no longer surprised by how word spread and people assembled in Fandom. She went up to the bar, standing so she could be seen, and let out a sharp whistle to get everyone's attention.

"All right, listen up! I want to thank those of you who came when I called you, and those of you who found your way here on your own. Last night, I received information about our invading trolls. It seems that a number of them have stationed themselves at the church to prevent people from getting to the bells. If we can get into the church and ring the bells, it will drive the trolls away. Professors Covington, Custer and Aziraphale, along with Jane, Door, and Peter Parker will be taking on this task.

"As for the rest of you, your help is also needed. In order to make sure that the church is as defenseless as possible, we need to make sure that there is a distraction, and the best location for this would be Efferton Manor. I want everyone who is able to go to the manor. If you are injured, don't think that you have to go. If you get injured, don't think that you have to stay. There are still people being held there, and if you can get them out, that would be fantastic, but the most important thing is to provide the biggest distraction you can."

She glanced out at all of them and sighed. "I still don't like the idea of sending students to fight, and do not for a moment think that I am condoning violence when we are not in an emergency situation. But that's exactly what this is - an emergency - and I know that you all are more than capable to help. Just please be careful. If you have any questions, ask them now. If not, then you can go."

Re: Announcement!

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter - being both a smartass and nervous - had one question.

"Do I get extra credit for this?"
