Sign posted near 238, 2nd floor hallway

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Worried about the radio broadcast's implication that he could be punished if he didn't personally meet all of the new students, Angel decided to post the following sign outside of his dorm room door:

MAGIC SHOW TONIGHT!
All are invited! (Especially new students!)
Show starts at 7pm at Caritas!
No, I am not singing. - Angel.

Angel stood back and observed the nice, neatly-written some might even call the handwriting girly poster. There, that had to count for something. He thought about doing more but he'd already invited Blair and Lily Evans personally and he'd left voice mails for Logan and Cordy (and if they were more staticy than usual which they were he didn't notice since he was always of the opinion that cellphones were the tool of the devil). Sure he could make more signs, but most folks on the second floor passed by his door, anybody he cared about on the third floor certainly hung out on the second often enough, and you couldn't pay him to go up to the fourth floor even if you put a convent up there also because he didn't know Blair was living on 4.

He did, however, belatedly think of something. He took out his marker and hastily added:

This is not a part of a bid for Student Council! PLEASE do not vote for me!

There. He recapped his marker then went to play with Sean by tossing a tennis ball down the hallway for the puppy to chase.

Yawning, John steps out of the room.

"No singing? I think I'll have to go into mourning now."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel smiled up at John. "Hey! Wanna come? There's a magician!"

It was possible that a dark, broody, hunky vampire was a tiny bit too excited about a magic show. But that'd be like saying he listened to Manilow for fun.

"Magician huh?" John shrugs. "Could be fun. You're not the magician, right?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What? Oh no." Angel gave Sean an approving pet when he brought the tennis ball back, then tossed it down the hall again. "Fetch! No, I don't have the skills. I'm just a vamp. No way I could be a magician."

Janet was wandering back to her room on the cool floor, coffee in hand, when she saw Angel's poster. "Magic show, huh?" she asked. "Nice. I'll have to find my Little Sis and drag her along. It's probably good you're not singing. We don't want to scare away the new students." She paused. "Wait, what kind of magic show? Real magic or stage magic?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You're such a good vamp," John says, fluttering his eyelashes. He laughs and shakes his head. "Is Callisto gonna come, you think?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Dunno," Angel admitted. He in no way looked shy. "Haven't asked her yet."

Sean dutifully fetched the ball, but brought it back to put it by John's feet instead.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Illusions," Angel said, looking far too pleased about this than was probably healthy. "I'm hoping he does the trick with the linking rings. How's it going? Your Little Sis okay?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Sean," John kneels down and does a quick scratch behind the ears before throwing the ball down the hall.

"I saw her yesterday," John says. "I went rafting in the pool and she came down there."

[janet_fraiser]

"Oh, good," said Janet. "If it had been a show involving real magic, I don't think I'd have gone. Things are good, but I'm tired now. I signed up for classes at far too early an hour. I think I'm guaranteed for History of Western Civ, Advanced Criminal Justice, and Classics II, but I hope I get my other choices."

At the mention of her Little Sis, Janet grinned wryly. "I hope she is. She got in late last night, so I haven't had a chance to meet her yet. I'll probably roam the dorm today looking for her."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Sean scampered after the ball, catching it after it bounced a few times.

Angel looked interested, but tried to pretend he wasn't. "Was she naked?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"My little brother's pretty good," Angel said. "Name's Blair. He... actually I don't know where he's living." Angel looked worried, like maybe this meant Blair had been homeless all this while. "I hope he's got a place."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Pretty close," John says. "She got in the pool and we wrestled around for awhile. I think she won after she kicked me in the family jewels."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"HA!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Shut. Up." John glares as best he can. "She's got strong thighs, dude. It hurt!"

[janet_fraiser]

"Didn't I hear somewhere that all new students have to room in the dorms?" asked Janet, who couldn't actually remember if she'd heard that or not, but it sounded reasonable. "You'll have to introduce me to him tonight. What's he like?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hee hee hee hee!"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nice," Angel said. "Young. Which sadly means I can't get him to take my place for Student Council. Didn't freak out when I told him I was a vamp though, so that's good."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

And John steps on his foot.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ha ha ha - OW! Hey!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I think your not girlfriend has a crush on me," John teases. "Couldn't take her hands off me..."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey, wanna do a repeat of that knee thing? Wonder what that'd feel like with vamp strength behind it?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I love you too, honey," John jokes. "We'll save the kinky stuff for later, if that's all right with you."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel snickered, then grew more serious. "Are you crazy? Aeryn would kill me if I tried anything."

"There have to be seniors transferring in. What about that Cordelia girl?" asked Janet. She couldn't imagine anyone wanting to redo high school voluntarily, but she supposed it was possible. "Another unflappable type? That's good news."
