After running into Anders, Bel headed back to Xander's place so he could charge his cell or find another phone to give Phoebe a call.

Isabel had heard radio and wanted to get Xander's take on the situation. The fact that certain other people she wanted to see could possibly be there was an added bonus.

Despite the sunlight, she still kept a wary eye on her surroundings at she knocked on the door.

Bel was sprawled on the couch, but got up to answer the knock when he heard it at the door. Maybe it was good news, that there had been a temporary soul-sucking thing on the island that had slurped up Angel's soul, but someone had killed it and in doing so made it vomit the soul up, and now it was firmly back in Angel's body.

Okay, the slurping and vomiting part sounded kind of gross, but he was desperate here!

"Hey stranger," Isabel said when he opened the door. "What time's the food fight?" As far as humor went, it wasn't the best, particularly given who had been at that last food fight.

"Hey," Bel said, moving back to let her walk into the apartment. He gave her a half-smile and said, "I wish."

"Yeah, I got that impression," she nodded. "Radio was cryptic, but I can imagine. How are you doing?"

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm fine," he said automatically, shutting the door behind her, then returning to the couch.

Isabel had grown up with Max and Michael. She was fairly certain I'm fine translated to I'm an emo mess inside but I'm going to play stoic so as not to ruin my macho image. "Just fine huh? Really? So you and evil hairboy discussed holiday plans yesterday?"

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"He was pretending to be Angel," Bel said quickly, totally an emo mess but playing stoic so as to not ruin his macho image, and thinking Isabel would fall for it.

"Because it hurts more when a friend twists the knife." Isabel would be insulted if she knew he thought she was that stupid that's tomorrow.

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"I fell for it," Bel said, looking down. "Couldn't think straight enough so to speak to realize he was acting wrong. He had me fooled. Probably could've killed me if I mattered enough."

Bitter? Not at all.

Re: For Anyone Else

"No way. You matter," she said firmly. "You matter enough that he'd want to screw with your head for as long as possible." It's funny how Isabel was suddenly reminded of Kivar. "If you didn't matter...then you would be have been dead last night."

Re: For Anyone Else

"He doesn't think I'm any sort of threat," Bel shrugged.

Veronica got back from running her errands and let herself in, grateful that Xander had given them all spare keys.

She flopped down in a chair. "This doing nothing is driving me insane."

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah," Bel agreed. "Any news?"

Re: For Anyone Else

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Veronica said. "This sucks."

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"Anders said that there were some late arrivals at the clinic last night," Bel said. "Not sure who, though. . . ."

Re: For Anyone Else

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica frowned. "That's not good. I wonder if radio mentioned any names."

"Willow," Logan said, emerging from the bedroom where he'd completely failed to get any more sleep. "She's in bad shape, apparently."

Re: For Anyone Else

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

There was no love lost between Veronica and Willow.

But that didn't keep Veronica from gasping. "Oh shit. She's the one who can do the spell."

Re: For Anyone Else

[fh_jackass]

Logan nodded grimly. "We need to find someone else, and fast."

Re: For Anyone Else

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I wonder... maybe the power of three could do it?" Veronica suggested.

Re: For Anyone Else

[fh_jackass]

"Anything's worth a try," Logan said. He wasn't exactly sure what "the power of three" was, but he'd've said yes if someone suggested asking Santa Claus.

"I know Willow shared the dis-invitation spell with Piper," Veronica said. "But I'm pretty sure she never shared the souling spell."

Re: For Anyone Else

[demonbelthazor]

"Power of Three is out," Bel said. "I don't want Phoebe in Fandom."
