Rediscovery

Being a vampire and having an energetic puppy meant that you did a lot of walking indoors in order to make sure the puppy got its exercise.

Fortunately the school was more than big to satisfy, and that was even without including the basement since Angel had a gut instinct that Sean and Sunshine wouldn't get along (assuming Sunshine was still down there, and Angel wasn't going to be the one to check.)

This morning found Angel and a still Santa-hatted Sean wandering around the admin areas. Not really awake yet, Angel let Sean lead. The puppy snuffled his way through one hallway and another until he finally came up to a door that was in what appeared to be a much neglected corridor.

Normally Angel wouldn't have cared, but something on the door caught his eye.

"'Assistants Lounge'?" he read aloud. He frowned. "I didn't know we had an assistants' lounge."

He tested the door. The knob felt rusted, but it opened when he applied a little pressure ~~or possibly it was locked and he just had vamp strength to open it, la la la~~.

The room was dark, but Angel could make out a table, some chairs, and a faded couch. He could also make out a very strong sent of mold, mildew, and dust.

Sean, for his part, thought this was fascinating. He darted into the room, leapt onto the couch, and immediately set off a dust cloud strong enough that it billowed out into the hall. Sean barked, pleased with his accomplishment.

"Oh yeah," Angel said. "That can't be good."

He decided to investigate.

"Hmmmm, yeah there's probably something I could try, cos yeah we don't you turning into dust do we?"

Paige thinks for a moment trying to remember something she read about purifying the air, that should work.

She says the spell and watches wating to see if it'll work.

((which is completely up to you))

"Though on the up side if I did it's not like that'd be out of place," Angel joked. He watched as the air cleared enough to look suitable for breathing. "Looks like it helped. Let's check the place out, see what's in it."

Paige grins cos yay her spell worked without any backfiring, well so far anyway.

She nods and goes into the room looking around, "I'm guessing the teacher's lounge isn't like this!" she grumbles

Angel looked around. "No kidding. That couch looks so old I could've sat on it when I was mortal. Also I don't think the walls were originally that color."

She smirks, "well no, who'd paint them...yellowy, green, mold and nicotine really aren't good colors are they?" she ask wrinkling her nose.

"Also I doubt it's meant to smell like this, think there's something dead in her? I mean dead dead?" she clarifies really not wanting to offend him

Angel smirked. "Was gonna say."

He sniffed the air. "Hmm. Um, not sure I'd want to peel the walls back, to be honest. But no dead bodies at least."

Sean snuffled around. He discovered a forgotten coffee cup on the floor and started to play with it.

"Okay lack of dead bodies is always good!" she says nodding.

She rolls up her sleeves, "so where should we start?"

She looks down at the puppy, "vamp puppy?" she asks like it's the most normal thing in the world to ask

"No," Angel smiled, "and that's actually a new one. Most people ask if he's a student. Which he's not. Nah, just a regular lab. With a hat. I can't take that thing off him now, he loves it."

Angel took his coat off and folded it over one of the chairs. "Okay. Huh. Guess we could take an inventory of what's here. I'm seeing table, couch, some chairs... what, they couldn't spring for a coffee pot?"

"Well it is very cute" she says refering to his hat.

Paige pulls a notebok out of her bag. and starts to write stuff down. "yeah cos the lack of a coffeemaker's really our biggest problem here," she says with a raised eyebrow and yet another smirk

"You don't think this won't result in some all-nighters?" Angel countered. He thought about it. "Extra hands. I say no way we're excavating this on our own. Hey, might if I borrow some of that paper? I could post some notices around the dorms to let the other assistants know this place is here ~~especially since some of them probably don't have this community friended yet~~."

"Yeah good point," she agrees ripping off some of the paper ~~without sketches of Sawyer topless on~~ and handing it too him.

"I'm actually going away today so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help, sorry!"

"Hey, at least you helped clear the air," Angel said. He took the paper and started to write up a flyer alerting people to the room. "That'll be a big help as is. Here, lemme go post these. I'll be back soon."

"Okay cool, glad to help! Catch you later than Angel,"

"Same here," Angel said. "Bye Paige."

Krycek saw Paige as he talked to Angel and nodded a greeting. "I might be able to drag in one of the Journalism coffee makers," he offered. "I haven't heard anything about a new teacher yet and I don't think anyone will miss it."

"Oh good idea, so Spider's left then?" she asks

"Unfortunately," he muttered, frowning. "Sort of last minute, from what I could tell. Not sure what I'm doing next semester now, but I may see if the new staff wants me to stay on."

Paige nods, "Yeah one of the teacher's a was TAing for left a few weeks ago, I'm doing this and I have no idea if I'll even be a TA next semester."

She looks around the room, "Not that I'd mind not being able to spend time in here!"

Sam, finally tearing herself away from the horror that is this room, spotted Paige and Krycek. "Hey. Um, you think if we sent the pictures to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition they'd make an exception?"

"Maybe we need to have a student get sick from a mysterious fungus or something first," Krycek said, kicking the couch and raising another cloud of dust. "Get the sympathy, then they'll come running to help us out."

Sam lifted a shelf on one of the bookshelves which was currently listing awkwardly to the side. "Ick."

Something gooey and phosphorescent was on her fingers when she pulled her hand away. She quickly wiped her hand off on her jeans. "If it's me, make sure all my stuff goes someplace worthy."

"Where's a pocket dimension when you need one?" Angel said. "We could shove all this dirt in there and not have to worry about it."

Paige grins, "wow that's actually I really good idea, but TV camera's here in Fandom? Are we sure we want to inflict this place on the TV viewing public?"

"I don't care much about the TV viewing public, if it means I don't have to touch that sink." Sam eyed it warily. "I'm sure one of those coffee cups just slithered."
