Evie was vibrating a bit, and she'd sneaked in a box of doughnuts from Jeff, God of Biscuts. The Caff-Pow she'd had before she came to the library probably accounted for part of this, but the map spread out on the table had to be part of the rest of it.

"Good afternoon! For those of you who hadn't met me before, I'm Evie Carnahan. I'm so glad you could make it this afternoon to the first meeting of the Archaeology Club." She nodded over to Dr. Jackson. "Dr. Daniel Jackson has graciously agreed to be our faculty advisor. I thought maybe we could just brainstorm today, but we do have three prospective dig sites for this semester that need discussion."

She pointed to a little area where the Wildlife Preserve met the edge of Chimera court. "There used to be a lighthouse here, which was broken by a storm and then semi-demolished in 1817. And over here--" Evie pointed to an area between the Rocky Bits and the Fandom High property, "Used to be a manor owned by the Luckleys, which burned down in 1927. But my *favorite* possible site is over here." She moved her pen to mark the beachline of the preserve. "The Santa Melinda supposedly washed up somewhere along this coastline in 1701."

"Dr. Jackson's going to take care of the paperwork for the first site, but we need to decide which onethat's going to be, first."

"Mmmm, Caff-Pow! It's lovely, Professor Abby from Internets class drinks it. She let us have some, and I kept it for a special occasion." Evie's legs might be swinging a lot underneath her chair. "And I was wondering if some kind of, ohhh, well digging, maybe some test holes? Would help us find a good place to start. Maybe we can narrow down where the roof of the manor would be, and then map out the rest from any architectural plans we can find."

Evie would never, ever suspect a Teacher of ulterior motives. Other people, sure. But not a Teacher.

Janice couldn't be sure, but she could swear the chair was starting to sway under the influence of that Caff-Pow stuff. (Mentally, she made a note to track Abby down and find some of it. It could come in handy, on those late nights cataloguing her latest acquisitions.)

"You know your stuff, kid, I'll definitely give you that," she said with a definite note of satisfaction in her voice. "And you've done a damn good job of thinking this through. I can't find anywhere to poke holes in this plan."

~~Janice would have appreciated the sentiment. And the capital T, if she'd known.~~

Evie grinned all over her face, and only refrained from clapping because she had a doughnut in her hand. "Thank you, Dr. Covington. I appreciate the oversight, since this is the first time I've been allowed to take the lead. So to speak." She sighed happily. "Luckley Manor first, then, I think? Unless we find more information about the Santa Melinda?"

"Luckley Manor it is, and research on the Santa Melinda," Janice agreed. "The lighthouse sounds like it'll be the least interesting of the three. Not a good first impression for the newbies, so you might want to save that for when they're already hooked. They'll have to learn sometime that there's disappointment in this job, but not right off."
