Library [02/02]

Rory came in bright and early and smacked a poster on the door before positioning herself behind the desk as usual with her coffee.

She grabbed a stack of books, and spent the day deep in research - both her own personal problem, and for the problems with the shadows.

[I'm AFK most of the day, so please mod Rory if you need help with something. Wait for OCD is up and a little different today. Please wait for further OCD on the specific research thread, as it will be coming later while I am unconscious and people in Europe are not. That OCD is up, too! Whooooo!]

Irulan spotted Evie. "Evie! Are you well?"

"I'm quite fine." Evie walked over and gave Irulan an anxious look. "But Jack isn't. Have you seen him? He's, he's...."

Re: General conversations

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen him since yesterday..." Irulan said, remembering the sting of Jack's snubbing. "Why, what's wrong with him?" Then she looked at Evie in alarm, "He isn't plagued with this same malaise, is he?" She said in alarm.

Re: General conversations

Evie nodded, extremely upset. "I ran into him in the hall, and I could see the wall through his arms. He's just so tired and cold and--" She clutched a book to her chest for comfort. "We *have* to fix this."

It's then that it hit Irulan, of course Jack was afflicted to and to such degree! "Oh, you fool!" She exclaimed.

Re: General conversations

Evie blinked at Irulan, then turned to see if someone was standing behind her. "I beg your pardon?"

Re: General conversations

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan flushed, "Apologies, not you. I was cursing my own stupidity. I saw him yesterday and he ignored me-- I thought..." She shook her head, "Never mind what I thought, but I should have known something was wrong."

Re: General conversations

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"No, that isn't like Jack at *all*," Evie agreed worriedly. "Since yesterday? Lord. Right then. We have to save him! He helped save me once, it's only fair!"

Re: General conversations

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan nodded very firmly, now dedicated more than ever to helping. "We must. I am helping in the research (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1217125.html?thread=71114341#t71114341), would you care to help me?"

Re: General conversations

"That's what I'm here for," Evie said, holding up a book. "Lead me to it!"

Re: General conversations

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan nodded and lead Evey to a table filled with dusty books. "Knowledge is power." She said a little wryly then sneezed. "And dusty."

Re: General conversations

"Well, yes." Evie handed her a handkerchief. "But one just comes prepared. I'm going to look for some kind of spell, I think? What of you?"

Re: General conversations

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She took the handkerchief gratefully, "I am to look for the precedence. It seems these things have attacked before and from what I've gathered, indigenous to Fandom. I could say more but local folklore devolves to gibberish and useless superstition completely unrelated to what we are searching for."

Re: General conversations

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Well, here in Fandom, that superstition might be truth," Evie pointed out cautiously. "Although couched in symbolism. Perhaps a dictionary of symbols would help, as well?"

"Well, it says something about chicken and sacrifices," Irulan said, looking at her notes, "And a dance."
