Dinner with Maloker ((group thread))
Some may consider that all the 'Big Guns' that April has called together is overkill … but not really, not when it comes to the fact that many great minds are needed to find a way to prevent The Three (Discord, Disharmony and Cacophony) from their evil plans.
And the Big Guns are needed... when they have no idea where to start looking for The Three.
When other Keys (such as Dawn Summers) are being drained of their existence.
When the clock is still ticking on Lorne... and his battle with his disease.
Invitations were extended to Clark Kent/Superman; Harry Dresden; Sheriff Bigby Wolf; Edward Elric; Cipher Nine; and of course Spike, Angel, Buffy, Willow and Wes.
April is waiting in the planning room, for each person to arrive, going through some books as she does. For many... this will be a familiar encounter, as they had to come to fight together before. But there will be some new faces. And new ideas.

Upon arriving, Ed immediately greets April with a hug before he delves into some of the books she's got on hand while they wait for everyone else. Cipher Nine gives her a brief hug as well, then opts to to take a seat and do a little maintenance work on his knives while he waits, sharpening the edges and oiling the blades, among other things.

Clark doesn't take long to arrive either, nodding in greeting to the others. He's still wearing his everyday clothes over his Superman suit, but if the situation calls for it, he can change that in an instant.
Bigby takes a little longer to show up than the rest. He hangs back for a moment, listening to the sounds of people and counting them, trying to assess the situation. He can smell April, that weird alien scent that's apparently her husband, and several other people he doesn't recognize. He makes a token effort at straightening his shabby tie, then enters the room, staying alert. "April," he greets her gruffly, while looking around at the assorted allies.

"This is Clark, my husband. And my friends Cipher Nine, Edward, Harry. And some denizens of this dimension... Spike, Wes, Lorne and Dawn."
The last one mentioned is a sleeping woman on a couch, surrounded by a magical ward. "We are waiting on three more... if they took my phone call seriously," said Spike.

Ed glances back at the slumbering Dawn and worries at his lower lip for a moment before giving Bigby a brief nod of acknowledgment, and waving at everyone else. "Who're we waiting on?" he asks Spike.

"Who is running a little late..." A red-haired who has magic imbued in her aura for those who can sense such thing comes in the room. She starts to study the ward around Dawn. "Nice work."
"And Buffy and Angel... but they couldn't remember... um... her..." Spike pointed to the sleeping young woman.
"Dad... did you forget her name?" April asks softly.
"Um... yah..." Spike rubs at his temples.

"Yes... they attempted to connect with me too... but something blocked them. It is still blocking them."

When she speaks, only Ed will feel a concerned and worried hum from his very soul.
"Hey everyone. We want you to meet Ember." Angel introduces the woman.
no subject
Cipher Nine notices his friend's tension, but doesn't let that stop him from being polite. "Nice to meet you, Ember," he says cordially.

"When humans started using magic against the Old Ones to lock them in the Deeper Well, Maloker needed an army to fight them, and created vampires to do so. He was ultimately unsuccessful and was one of the last Old Ones to walk the Earth before he was sealed in the Deeper Well," Wes provided his information as a Watcher.
"What do you mean I have his protection?" April asks.
"He is the source of your powers, your Voices..." Ember spoke again. And Ed hears a hissing from his Oscuridad guide.

April listens careful to Ed's mental statement, and asks herself. "And so why... is this information coming out now?"
"Maloker would like to see you... I am his emissary."
"She found me first, since I am your grandfather, in a fashion." Angel states. April only glances over to him, a little mistrust there still from the time that Angel took her infant son from her.

"No. No it is not," Spike voiced his objection. "And her name is April."
"You screwed Dru... luv..." Spike's voice is hard at the pet name for Angel. "And I won't stand by to let you screw my daughter."
no subject
"April's our friend," Cipher Nine says flatly. "For some of us, more than that. So if you think we're going to take everything you tell us at face value and not be concerned with her safety, think again."

"We could bring Maloker here..." She stated simply.
"No Old Ones in my bar!" Lorne protests.
