"It's a morgue," said Xander when he and Tru had arrived at their destination.
"Yeah, but it's a morgue with first aid and a computer you can use, so try it again wit a bit more feeling," said Tru.
"Okay so I admit I was hoping for something different. To me a morgue is the place were 90 of my problems come from because the people working there don't want to know the truth," said Xander as Tru led him into an office where an older man with a beard was working on a computer.
"Hey Tru, it took some work, but I think I finally found some information on this Alexander guy," said the man.
"Does it come with a photo?" asked Xander.
"Yeah it-Whoa!" shouted the man in surprise when he finally looked at Xander.
"Don't worry about it Davis, I got it covered," said Tru.
"So you were checking up on me?" asked Xander with a small smile.
"Girl can't be too careful these days," replied Tru with a smile of her own.
"Can someone let me in on the joke?" asked Davis as he attempted to get his heart under control.
"Relax Davis I've learned just about everything I need to know about him. Bad news is that saving his life was just the first step, now we have to help him save the world," said Tru just before leaving the room in search of the first aid kit.
"Save the world?" asked Davis.
"It's a lot more common than you would expect," responded Xander.
"Hey why aren't you on the computer yet?" asked Tru as she got back with the first aid.
"I figured I'd give your friend some time to calm down before I put him in cardiac arrest," said Xander. "That and I never learned how to type well with only one hand so I kind of need someone to work the computer."
"Do you think you could work the computer while I take a look at his arm Davis?" said Tru as she started to examine Xanders arm.
"Ah, sure," said Davis. He may not know what was going on, but he trusted Tru enough to wait for a while to hear the explanation.
"Go to first and click on the bottom left hand of the screen," said Xander.
"Wait I know that site, there isn't a link to anything there," said Davis as he opened his bookmarks folder and clicked on the website.
"A professional gamer huh?" asked Xander as Davis did what was asked of him.
"Gamer?" asked Tru.
"We figured that telling everyone the truth would freak them out, so we made a role playing game with 100 accurate information about the different species of demons out there," said Xander.
"I'm being asked to log in," said Davis as he tried not to comprehend what the conversation taking place. The world the game was set in was dark and dangerous, and at the moment he didn't want to believe that it was real.
"Username; Pirate-commando, password; Twinkiemonster," said Xander as he walked over to the computer to make sure Davis typed in the information correctly, and because he knew what was coming next.
As soon as Davis hit enter the screen began to glow a dark green. Soon the light began to glow until it had eradicated every shadow in the room. The light wasn't painful, in fact if asked both Davis and Tru would say it was rather pleasant. After a few moments of filling the room the green glow seemed to be satisfied and retreated into the computer, leaving an ordinary looking chatroom on the screen.
"What was that," asked Davis as he let out the breath he had been holding.
"Scanning spell. It just checked the room for demons and humans with evil intent, congratulations you are both pure of heart," answered Xander.
"Okay, I had no idea that was possible, but all things considered I can't say I'm surprised magic exists," said Davis.
"What would have happened if we weren't pure of heart?" asked Tru.
"Trust me, you don't want to know," said Xander. "We better type something quick though, it looks like my friend is getting a bit worried."
On the screen someone calling themselves Red-Yggdrasil was cyber screaming for Xander to respond.
"Okay Davis, just type in exactly what I say from now on," said Xander.
Red-Yggdrasil: If you don't answer soon mister I promise I'll send you nightmares about clowns for a month.
Pirate-commando: Then I will put frogs in your bed while you're sleeping. Happy now?
Red-Yggdrasil: Sorry when you didn't answer right away I thought maybe the spell didn't work right and the people were evil. So why are you using the form instead of the phone?
Pirate-commando: Phone broke, but that's not the problem. Someone knows I got the blood book and sent something that looked like the twisted love child of the Master and Man-bat to drain me dry. It didn't get everything, but chances are good it got enough to kick off our favorite season a bit early this year, so I need some backup.
Red-Yggdrasil: I'm pulling up a map and history of the city now and sending it to the Techno-Pagans to help review it for possible ritual sites. As far as backup only 5x5 is even close.
Pirate-commando: How close, a new friend of mine says the bad stuff will probably start at around 5:00 local time, and its already past one.
Red-Yggdrasil: Way she drives I give it two hours tops, I'll tell you to meet you at the morgue.
Croft-in-Training has logged in.
Croft-in-Training: Hey, I'm here to relieve you of monitor duty, anything I should know about?
Red-Yggdrasil: Apparently the world may be ending a bit quicker than usual this year. I'm going to stay online until I hear back from the Techno-Pagans, could you alert the others and look up a bat-like creature with vampire traits?
Croft-in-Training: Who is in the middle of it this time, and do we have a timeframe?
Pirate-commando: Take a guess Mini-Uatu.
Red-Yggdrasil: According to his friend about 5:00 local time.
Croft-in-Training: Don't call me that!
Croft-in-Training: New friend? Is she a Blond, Brunet, or Redhead?
Red-Yggdrasil: Hasn't told me yet.
Pirate-commando: Aren't you guys straying a bit from the subject?
Croft-in-Training: It's called multitasking. I have a program that is searching the database for the creature, and I'm calling everyone that hasn't responded to the alert while writing this.
Red-Yggdrasil: I've identified five sites and I'm figuring out what one is most likely to be used.
Pirate-commando: So tell me does he often meet women?
Croft-in-Training: Who is this?
Pirate-commando: The brunet. Now answer my question, is he some kind of ladies man or what?
Red-Yggdrasil: LOL, no way! Most of his dates have attempted to kill him on the first date, all the others just want to be friends.
Croft-in-Training: Why are you interested in him? If you want to date him you'll have to go through some serious investigating to make sure you are a good demon.
Pirate-commando: I'm not a demon! All I can do is go back in time one day when a dead person asks for help.
Red-Yggdrasil: Okay, I'm having trouble not picturing you as Pirate-commando, hold on a minute.
Red-Yggdrasil: Okay, that should do it.
Rewind-brunet: What did you do?
Rewind-brunet: Hey, my screen name is different!
Red-Yggdrasil: It's only until you log off, but this way I won't picture you as Pirate-commando.
Rewind-brunet: Why don't you use his real name?
Croft-in-Training: Security. If someone hacks this site (even though its almost impossible) there won't be any real names to help them track us down in RL. We all know each other, so we don't need to use real names.
Red-Yggdrasil: So tell us about yourself. You don't need to give your name (thanks a lot CiT), but it will be a fun way to pass the time until your backup arrives.
Rewind-brunet: You just want info to make sure I'm not an evil demon that wants to date your friend, don't you?
Croft-in-Training: Yep.
Red-Yggdrasil: Absolutely.
Rewind-brunet: Because you are being so honest about it, I'll tell you the truth. I'm a 20 year old black woman, and I think your friend is really cute.
