"Shit," she exclaims after seeing the corpse.

Willow lays eyes on it and grimaces.

The girl is incoherent.

Principal Flutie arrives on the scene. "What's going on? What's here?" he asks, going through the growing gaggle of people past Theo and the sobbing girl and into the library. "Oh my goodness."

Yeah.

Theo will keep trying to comfort the girl. He's not really sure how much good it'll do, but it'll hopefully be better than nothing.

"You. Girls. Have you called nine-one-one?" the Principal asks Sadde and Willow.

"Is there a point? He's dead," she murmurs.

Yeah. He's pretty clearly very obviously dead. On account of the whole… face thing.

Eugh.

Then Eva and co will make their way through the crowd and will be near the doors.

She doesn't look like she's feeling too well.

"That is not for you to determine, young lady! Now shoo, you two, this area is off-limits," he says, and starts waving Sadde and Willow out of the library, going with them. He grabs his mobile phone and calls 911. "Everyone, please stay clear of the area, there's nothing to see here, nothing to see. Yes, hello? Yes, there's a body here—no, he's probably dead—well I suppose he might- Sunnydale High, the library—okay thank you." The pockets his phone and continues. "Nothing to see!"

Eva seems to take that at face value and looks like she wants to leave.

Theo suggests to the girl that they go to the nurse's office, since she seems somewhat distressed.

The girl nods numbly and will follow along anywhere Theo leads her.

Principal Flutie says, "And now you should all return to your lunch, because you need to eat to be quite full of energy for the afternoon classes which will be happening normally. On you go."

Sadde shoots Theo a meaningful look, then returns with the other students to the cafeteria.

Theo's not 100% sure what that meaningful look was meant to convey – perhaps this is a weird thing, which he kinda already knew – so he takes the girl to the nurse's office and then returns to the cafeteria with Sadde. He should probably get some food.

He's not sure he's particularly hungry anymore, though.

"We need to go see the body," she says the minute Theo sits down.

Willow looks like this idea is not news to her.

"Yeah, check it for whatever thing did that?" He nods. "Makes sense."

Blink. "I'd expected more resistance than this."

"Well, obviously I don't want to go prodding around the dead body, but it makes sense that we'd need to. Especially if whatever-it-was goes and attacks other people. I'd rather not be next, thanks."

"Very... sensible of you." Blink.

"I will take that as a compliment?" he says, frowning a bit.

"I mean, yeah, but last week you were all 'aaaah vampires demons aaaaah' and basically hiding under tables, so."

"Well yes, but have you seen how incompetent everybody else is? And anyway, I wasn't that bad, I was just… a bit freaked out from having been almost-eaten."

"Yes, everyone else is pretty incompetent, I think there may be some ambient magic enforcing that but." Another shrug.

"A-and besides, it could've been worse, y-you could've been completely eaten."
