Library [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

When Rory came into the library on Friday morning - on time and everything! - she found a sign on the counter reading, "FORMS (NOT FOR EATING)."

She paused, staring at it, and then decided she really didn't want to know. This was probably something like that stupid Chosen One restriction from last year.

First Period [04/06]

She was perched behind the desk, still looking sleepy...but otherwise, looking healthier than she had in weeks.

And naturally she had an enormous cup of coffee in front of her.

Second Period [04/06]

Rory decided to get her work done early in the day for once, and took second period to dust shelves.

Rikku wandered into the library uncertainly, but cheered up a bit at seeing Rory there. "Hi!" she waved. "I, uh, kinda need some help with something?"

Re: Second Period [04/06]

"Hi!" Rory said, setting down her cleaning things. "Like a book thing or a something else thing?"

Re: Second Period [04/06]

"Oh! A book thing. I mean, a library-kinda thing." She waved a bit. "There's, uh. There are books here about ... like."

Her voice dropped a little, and she seemed flustered. "Existence? Dimensions? Dimensional barriers? The dead, the living, the whole ... that kind of thing?"

"In Special Collections, yup," Rory said, nodding. "You need a note to get in and it's kind of dangerous."

Re: Second Period [04/06]

[the_merriest]

Rikku nodded carefully. "I don't mind the dangerous bit. And I have a note. From Professor Deadpool." She produced it, trying to look calm and not like even she thought this was probably a bad idea. "I'm just doing a little research."

Rory looked over the note. "Okay," she said. She went over to the circulation desk and pulled out a pair of dragonhide gloves. "Want me to go back with you?"

Re: Second Period [04/06]

[the_merriest]

Rikku stared at the gloves, swallowing. Yes, mostly, because now she was terrified and ... "No, I'll be okay. Is ... do the books bite?"

Re: Second Period [04/06]

"Sometimes," Rory said. "Don't touch anything except what you're looking for. And do not go wandering off."

Third Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And since she had done that, she had no qualms about using third period to shop online for her shoes for prom.

Fourth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

She didn't mind using fourth period, either.

Lunch [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

By the time lunch had rolled around, Rory had found The Shoes.

She also was happily eating an assortment of junk food that would make her mother proud. But at least she was eating.

Fifth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

During fifth period, Rory got onto Facebook and started browsing through people she might meet at Yale.

It wasn't weird to do that, right?

After enjoying pricking the Doctor's ego Rose entered the library.

"Hullo," she greeted the girl.

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Rory said, looking up from her computer. "Can I help you find something?"

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I was wondering if you have any 'Millie' books?" Rose asked.

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Millie?" she repeated blankly. "Um, I could check. What kind of books are they?"

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Series about a girl in a boarding school, the new bookshop owner introduced it to me." Rose explained, smiling, "I'm done reading the first two and I wondered if the library had the rest of the books? Oh, and also any book by Charles Dickens please."

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, Dickens. Depressing," Rory said with a little smile. "And okay, that Millie. I'm pretty sure we do."

She rolled over to the computer and started typing. "Any Dickens in particular?"

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Anything about Blue Elements?" Rose asked,"I think its a short story but I'm not sure and I think he also wrote a ghost story."

Re: Fifth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Blue Elements?" Rory repeated. "Um, Dickens wrote at least one ghost story I can think of off the top of my head, and it's about Christmas. For the most part, he stuck to really harsh reality."

Sixth Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sixth period found her considering the boys' pictures especially and wondering if maybe they were cuter in person?

Seventh Period [04/06]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

When seventh period rolled around, Rory gathered up all the returned books and placed them back in their spots on the shelves before locking up and heading out to the Perk.

OOC [04/06]

WTF, COMPUTER, WTF.
