An urgent situation arises

BY THE WAY, two very important things:

1) I have a new roommate. She looks like Jules! Only more like she might kick me in the face. Anyway, what can you tell me about Buffy Summers? I know you watched that show. I remember you crying over it all the time.

2) Speaking of nerdy shows with good-looking women on them, I need to know everything you know about a Dana Scully.

Do some compiling. Work the noggin. I'll be right over.

Hi, roomie!

Good enough to avoid getting thrown out a window? That's all I'm looking for, because my insurance doesn't cover that.

[disparages]

Don't worry, Angel is strictly NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT ANYMORE. But Buffy might if you try anything fishy.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

There is no fishiness here! I don't even like tuna. OR MARINATED HALIBUT, GUS, I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS.

[disparages]

Then you'll probably be fine! Though I'd stay on the first floor if you ever decide to try anything evil.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

You'll only have to worry about that if my father shows up.

And even then, the most evil I get is usually borrowing his stuff without asking.

[disparages]

Yeah, Buffy might get mad about that. She's kinda jumpy.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Just trust me on this: after what that man has put me through, I have earned the right to his tools.

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. They have good insurance here.

[disparages]

He looks pretty harmless, Angel.

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

He reminds me a little of Lorne.

[disparages]

Minus the green. Think he sings? Because the new office is definitely lacking the atmosphere of his karaoke nights.

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

We could ask. I don't think we'll ever get a guy like Lorne around here again, but this guy seems willing to make the same amount of noise as him.

[disparages]

Hey. I got you, didn't I? I figure everyone will show up sooner or later and you can't be slacking off on Angel Investigations when they do!

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be bad to have some replacements, would it? Especially if this guy communes with the spirits. Right up our alley.

[disparages]

Oh, "replacements", huh?

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

Temporary ones, of course. There won't be anything like that. You know that, but we can't get started up without a staff. I guess I got used to a bunch of people working with me. And it's not like I can really ask Buffy to loan me a bunch of her people.

[disparages]

Well, bucko, you can't just grab a nerdy girl, a Brit, a street fighter and a singing sensation and just make a surrogate team while we wait! I'm pretty sure their feelings would get hurt.

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

If I was doing that, I'd already have a team. I'm just looking for prospects. We need to build Angel Investigations up again. Not to Wolfram and Hart level, but you get the gist. I think, anyway. No going back to the corporate Hell. We've already been over that.

[disparages]

Well, there are a lot less people here than LA. We'll get bigger, but for now you don't need to worry to much about corporate expansion, okay? Let's just do what we do best! Besides, you've got you and me. That's a good place to start.

[disparages]

"Communes with spirits", huh?

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

It's what he told me.

[disparages]

um Hello? I'm still here aren't I?? Let's not be all in a rush to replace me!

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

Well, we could have another guy to do it. He seems pretty quick on the communing, though. He probably can't talk to anyone too powerful.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

For what it's worth, I sing LIKE A BIRD. So does Gus! We were on American Duos together.

[disparages]

No way! I want to hear!
