Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel is where she's been all day, sitting on her bed, slowly translating the book Veronica had given her in hopes of finding a cure for Angel.


[Door's open. Door's closed, gone to bed.]

Xander, who had already dropped his burdens on his bed, caught the bottle and reached for a tissue from the box near his bed OMG NO DIRTY NO!. He scrubbed some remaining traces of lipstick off his mouth with the back of one hand, then set about cleaning off the purple passion whatever it was called polish, including the sparkly star decals.

"Your present's in the shopping bag," he said, nodding at it. "Yours is the one with pants. The flasher goes to Cordy."

"You brought me a present? I was only kidding," she laughed. "You really didn't have to." She pointed at Jeramiah's tank, "As you can see, he's till happy and healthy."

Isabel got up and pulled out the bear. "He's too cute. Thanks!"

"Frog'll still be happy after he gets his present; hWillow made him crazy for chocolate-covered locusts, and they had some in one of the handwavied shops we hit in London while we were looking for stuff for Angel," Xander answered. He blew on his fingers, more or less pleased with their new lack of polish except for the purple specks he wasn't going to try to dig out of his cuticles. "Can't vouch for healthy. Oh, there's Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans in there for you too. Just British jellybeans, but the extra u in flavour apparently makes them taste better."

He made a face. "Don't eat the brown speckled ones. They really do mean every flavour.""

Isabel grimaced, "I'll keep that in mind. Brown speckles? Every flavor? Ick."

"Did you have fun though? I haven't done much except this," she said, gesturing at the books. "I'm trying to find something to help Angel."

[soldtoarmenians]

"They've got everybody in on that, huh?" Xander nodded. "Fun was had, definitely. There were moments I could've skipped, like the whole thing with the flying monkeys? But overall, yeah, glad I went."

"It's the least I can do," Isabel said. Well, she'd heard the request for Chosen One blood donors. She wasn't a Chosen one but maybe the alien DNA in her blood could help some way. She just wasn't sure how Janet would react.

"Flying monkeys? Really?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Not in England. Something that happened back home. We just ran into the guy who did it while we were trying to find something for Angel, and I didn't actually remember having gone to school with him. Awk. Ward."

"Oh, oops..."

"Wait," Isabel said. "What were you looking for?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Books, papers, helpful magic 8-ball. Anything we could find on vampiric poisons. Might even be the same ones you've got there, since we eventually did find some." Xander rubbed glitter off his cheek with a sigh, and stared distractedly at his sparkly hand. "I should really take a shower."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well hopefully you found something. Or Janet and Veronica found something in what they were looking at. I'm not sure there's anything to be found in here."

Isabel grinned at the glitter, "Yes you should. That hairstyle? So not you..."

[soldtoarmenians]

"The lipstick, on the other hand--" He held up the hand that still had lipstick on the back of it and studied it critically. "Nope. Not my color." Xander rolled his eyes, grabbed some clean clothes out of his closet, and headed into the shower.
