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.

Ed glowers at Buffy and Angel. "If you're trying to keep us from restoring them, you're wasting your time."

Back in his man-shape and fully clothed, Bigby returns to the group. He growls a little when he sees Angel and Buffy, and sniffs the air. He's satisfied that it's really them this time, but he still keeps an eye on them.

"You aren't you without your voices," Ed tells her. "There has to be a way to restore your voices without letting Maloker out of the demon trap."

"Is there some way to let only part of him out?" Clark asks.

Harry shakes his head. "Demons don't usually work that way."
fmalchemist160: (I'm trying to think over here!)

Ed is wary, but doesn't move to attack Angel. Cipher Nine is watching him closely as well. "Yeah, I'm guessing the kind of advice Maloker would offer isn't the kind anyone here would want to follow," Ed mutters.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Determination)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-02-17 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"It wouldn't be the same as just her voices... not with Maloker along, consciously," Clark says, frowning. He doesn't like the idea at all, and at least part of it is not wanting to see April acting the same way her mother did.
fmalchemist160: (What?)

[personal profile] fmalchemist160 2015-02-17 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ed blinks. "Okay, I was the only one hallucinating when we found him, I'm positive of that," he says. "If he's gone... that doesn't make any sense."

"And what entrance was that?" Harry asks.
fmalchemist160: (Sad)

"Yeah, I think you've had to deal with your phobias too much already," Ed mutters, squeezing April's shoulder gently. It doesn't sit well with him that the Three may have taken the boy despite their efforts not to lead them to him.

"We'll take another way out, even if I have to dig us out with my bare hands," Clark promises.

"Might be easier if Ed did it," Bigby says dryly.
fmalchemist160: (βœ’ Alchemy: Watch out he's clapping!)

[personal profile] fmalchemist160 2015-02-17 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, definitely not here," Ed assures her, getting to his feet to take Bigby up on his suggestion. "I got this." Transmuting anything earthy in nature is his specialty, after all. The simplest solution, in his mind, is actually to just make the existing tunnel much more spacious. So that's what he does.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Hug)

"We should go back to Lorne's," Harry suggests. He wants to check on Dawn and see how she's holding up in his protection spell. "I'll open up a portal once we're back on the surface."

"Thank you, Harry," Clark says with a nod. He keeps his hold on April, picking her up to carry her out into the light.
fmalchemist160: (Numb Surprise)

[personal profile] fmalchemist160 2015-02-17 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Dammit," Ed mutters with a dejected sigh, when he sees that the boy is, indeed, gone. There's not much they can do about it now, though, other than to take care of the Three at their earliest opportunity.
kalel_ofkrypton: (April and Clark)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-02-17 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
We'll get you fed as soon as we're home, Clark promises April through the bond. He can feel her hunger and exhaustion, and he's sure she doesn't need the prying eyes of the others.

Harry's disappointed that the boy is gone, too. But he stays focused on the task at hand, and uses his Warden sword to open a portal between here and Lorne's club. "Ladies first."
fmalchemist160: (Smiling)

[personal profile] fmalchemist160 2015-02-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ed slowly smiles as he sees the boy, and gives him a little wave back, now much happier. He's also absolutely ravenousβ€”he did a lot of Alchemy today, and using Alchemy always kicks his metabolism into overdrive.

Cipher Nine is content to maybe have a few cups of tea before he stops by Initiative HQ later. He's definitely glad it's over for the time being.
thepizzalord: (Not buying what you're selling)

[personal profile] thepizzalord 2015-02-17 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Anytime," Harry says with a nod. "What d'you want me to do with ol' Maloker?" he asks, swinging the demontrap around one finger.
