Library [11/30]

Rory decided to do her Christmas cards early this year, so when she stumbled into the library that morning, she had a stack of those as well as her coffee and laptop.

"That's...okay, what, did they think she caught it from one of us or something?" Rory asked, confused.

"I don't know," Willow said. "Nobody answers when I try to call her. All I know is what Principal Washburn told me, which is that they yanked her out."

Rory frowned. "I'm sorry," she said, not really knowing what else to say. "Are you looking for helpful researchy books, then? I don't know what one would research for this, but...it's Fandom."

"Mostly I was looking for books as comfort," Willow said. "Between the Marie thing and the Seely thing I felt that there was a strong need for a recharging of book related batteries. I wanted to be in their booky world and know that at least they were okay."

Rory gave a small, slightly sad smile at that. "Oh, I understand that one. I like that when like, everything is crappy and doesn't make any sense and you have no control, books are still exactly the same."

"Exactly," Willow said. "Like library smell. All libraries have it, no matter what. It's a soothing constant in a topsy-turvy world."

"And pages always sound the same. There are different dialects, since books have different ages and the pages have different thicknesses, but it's not drastically going to change," Rory added.

"And that plastic cover that all the hardcovers get," Willow said. "Feels the same no matter what."

"And libraries are never loud," Rory replied. "I'm not a fan of loud noises."

"Me neither," Willow agreed. "Unless it's a dancing situation, but you wouldn't hold a dance in a library. The books would get scared."

"I bet some of the books are closet dancers," Rory mused. "But probably more of the ballroom kind rather than, like, into booky raves."

"Oo - except maybe the coloring books?" Willow suggested. "I could see them being into the neon scene."

"But still in a structured way," Rory said with a nod. "Because the lines are in the coloring books for a reason, even if not everyone colors in them."

"Yes!" Willow said, glad that someone understood this. "That's why you color in a hard line around the lines, so that way when you fill in later it's a little barrier to make sure you don't go over and totally ruin the picture and waste the crayon to boot!"

"Yes!" Rory agreed. "And it just looks better and I am all for modern art but there's no need for sloppiness."

"Exactly," Willow said. "Plus there's blank paper if you want to be all over the place. No need to trap the poor little uncolored bunnies and kittens behind a wall of mess, never to see the world or even breathe properly again."

"And depending on the color, it can look very upsetting," Rory said. "Like if there's red scribbling, it's all violent-looking. Or if it's blue? They're drowning."

Willow nodded. "And if it's black you've surrounded them in forever midnight which, okay, probably not a problem for the bats but what about the animals that aren't nocturnal? To say nothing of the flowers who can't photosynthesize!"

"And orange looks all fiery which isn't good for anyone!" Rory said woefully.

"And yellow means they've all got liver disease!" Willow replied.

"Green is seasickness," Rory said sadly.

"Blue is depression," Willow added.

"Purple is suffocation," Rory sighed.

"Fuschia is bad fish," Willow said.

"Gold is a bad tan," said Rory.
