The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Enough of the library is clean that Janet can work without worrying about accidentally sitting in zombie goo.

However, she has a giant air freshener right next to her, because zombie stench sticks even worse than zombie goo, and is combing through a literature book while trying desperately not to breathe through her nose.

*Parker storms in as well as someone with a cast on her foot can*

The Special Collections. They've got stuff on magic? Vampires? "Muggles"?

*seethes*

[janet_fraiser]

Janet stares. "Wow, you're madder than usual tonight. What the hell's a Muggle? And yes, they have stuff on magic and vampires. I've been meaning to check it out."

"Someone (http://www.livejournal.com/users/notsouledyet/10019.html) who thinks he's so clever just threw down the gauntlet, even if he doesn't know it yet." Parker snarls. "I'll give *him* so-called good-guys." She visibly calms down. "Or maybe he was counting on it. Don't know. Don't care. He's going *down*."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's eyes widened as she read the paper Parker threw in front of her. "Wow," she said mildly. "We should maybe talk strategy on this. I may have to set aside my traditional apathy here. But chill first. Let's hit Special Collections and gather some books." She started typing on the reference computer behind the desk.

"So, your techie, that guy from that place in Delaware you're from. He's good, right?"

"Broots?" Parker snorts, and looks amused. "It took the FBI two weeks to catch him, with a dedicated team of four experts working 24 hours a day. The computers here didn't know what hit them."

"Chilling. Chilling. I'm icy in my perfection." Parker glares at the printout of the email, then rips it up into little pieces. "Where's my lighter?"

"Hey, would you mind if I non-subtextually put into our campaign that you and Liz are going steady?"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet blinked. "My lesbian creds are seriously out-of-date, Parker. And I'm going to Homecoming with Daniel. So let's not screw that up, because if I don't get laid soon I may have to kill myself." She picked up the printout and read it again. "Besides, he's just being an ass. God, you're running the campaign for the good girls of the school, not the vicious bitches that smile at you and then stab you in the back."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I *am* the vicious bitches, remember? I found the most goddamn qualified people who *wanted* the jobs, and _this_ is the way he's gonna spin it."

Parker sighs. "Fine. There goes our pansexual GBLT street cred. Why couldn't *one* of those candidates be like Faith, renowned in song and many a dirty limerick?"

::wanders in, grinning widely::

[janet_fraiser]

"Cally!" Janet waved. "Hi!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::waves back::

Is your day going as good as mine? 'Cause seriously, about the only thing that could top off a day like this would be having a Homecoming date fall in my lap.

[janet_fraiser]

"Uh, no," said Janet. "But as long as you're happy, that's good. What made your day so great?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Between getting things all okay with Vala, Rogue having found the perfectest homecoming dress for me, the Quantum Physics Prof being all nice again, and well...

...can you keep a secret? Cause this isn't something that I should really be spreading... but... ::grins::

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS (LOCKED TO PARKER AND JANET)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet handed Parker half of the printout and swiped them through into Special Collections. "Here," she said. "I cleared the cache and rebooted the computer. Looks like we're suddenly in secret agent mode? What the hell is up with this Angelus guy, anyway?"

Re: SPECIAL COLLECTIONS (LOCKED TO PARKER AND JANET)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"All I know is, he got his jollies by intimidating Broots the first day. So did that prick Belthazor. That's *my* job. Angelus and Belthazor have public blood-stained records online, but that's not credible enough to get the campaign won."

Parker's eyes narrow. "He's backing that schmuck Malfoy. And I know enough about evil organizations to know that the JA is a deep-dyed squirrelly cadre of evil." Parker smiles nastily. "And if he's calling people the 'so-called good guys', he and his are nothing of the sort."

"Going. Down."

"Damn," says Janet. "He deliberately twists everything anyone says. He creeps me out. I don't care if he was apparently heroic in the library--what's up with that DVD I keep seeing around anyway? The one with him and Faith? Is that embarrassing? Could you use that?"

Re: SPECIAL COLLECTIONS (LOCKED TO PARKER AND JANET)

*laughing maniacally*

"Only, from what I hear, in a melodramatic saccharine-coated soap-opera way."

Re: SPECIAL COLLECTIONS (LOCKED TO PARKER AND JANET)

[janet_fraiser]

"That could be...kind of funny. What about personality changes? That would be bad in a secretary. Should override the nice ass she's flaunting all over."

[swerval_zero]

Afternoon. Ugh, it reeks in here.

[swerval_zero]

*notices the door to Special Collections is open, assumes the other aides are in there searching for Sark or porn or something, and goes about her usual business of cleaning up zombie bits*

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Shit, shit, SHIT!"

Parker was definitely not happy.

OOC: Locked the thread to all three of us elsewehre in the post.

River slips in and surreptitiously approaches the main desk. In an undertone, she asks, "Could you point me towards local history? Particularly with a slant towards the strange and unusual?"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet laughted. "Wait, you mean there's normal history about this town?" She pointed off to the left. "Five aisles or so back, third shelf in, if it's been reshelved properly. Parker's anal about that sort of thing, though, so it should be there. Anything dealing with dangerous or forbidden lore is in Special Collections, and you'll have to bribe ask the prof to let you in." She grinned. "Or possibly me, as library assistant. But I don't do too well with letting the dangerous or forbidden out of its holding cell, you know?"
