Library [10.16]

Despite there being no classes, Anemone decided to open the library anyway for those who might need to cram for their midterm exams.

Arriving a bit early, she set the bag of goodies she had ~~handwavily~~ obtained from JGoB on the counter and went about turning on the lights. The library is open!

[OOC: Library is indeed open to all creatures great and small!]

Anemone's got a thermos of hot coco, disposable cups, and is busy arranging muffins, donuts, and such on a plate in the lobby. Students who come study in the library shall be rewarded!

She's in the stacks, reshelving. Ring the bell for service, or just ask Gulliver.

Anemone's back at the circulation desk, reading her notes from Tactics and keeping Gulliver away from the jelly donuts.

She's broken out the bento box, and the library is now closed unless you work there.

Anemone is looking up this 'Space Battles' that they watched last night on the internet, trying to figure out why the first one comes fourth. See girl. See girl boggle.

She's fliting around the library, cleaning up and trying to convince the books to stay in their own sections. Wish her luck!

This creature was on the larger side and it came walking in, pretty as you please, like it owned the place. Mmm, yummy books. The ostrich, whom we'll call Bernard, headed for the animal section. Don't ask him why, he probably won't tell you.

Anemone was currently off checking the stacks for wee knights, not trusting them to have simply vanished, which left Gulliver in charge of the desk.

He burbled inquisitively, ambling over towards the Large Thing That Is Not A Person. Hi! Do you have food?

Bernard ruffled his feathers and bobbed his head at the other creature that was attempting to invade his personal space. He stomped his large and craned his long neck down low towards it, blinking curiously.

Ask any member of the Izumo crew - Gulliver does not believe in personal space, because everything is His.

He burbled again, wiggling his little Gulliver nose at the Not-Person in confusion. It wasn't a person and didn't have food, so what was it? Did it want something?

Hmm. This creature that was much smaller than Bernard had nothing to offer. Bernard raised his head and poked his beak at a book. Then another book. Two fell to the floor and he let out a screech and bounded over to another aisle, jumping over the little creature who was in his personal space.

At the sound of the crashing, Anemone came stomping down an aisle. "Gulliver! How many times do I need to tell you? The book cart is not a carnival ride! Now..." she trailed off, taking in the scene before her. "I'm guessing that wasn't you."

Paranoid, she carefully started looking down each aisle, trying to find the source of the strange screech.

Bernard lifted his head high, then he sauntered forward a little at the sound of a human. Poking his head around a corner aisle, he tried to see who was invading his whole area of space.

Because it was his. His space!

That was...a bird. Like the bird from ~~whatever the meta is for Sesame Street~~. This must be what Ms. Next meant when she asked the question about library invasions on the job application.

"You." she pointed firmly at him/her/it/bird. "Birdie. Are you lost?"

Do I look lost little girl humanoid person like thing? Bernard screeched and stomped his foot. Okay, I'm lost. He promptly tried to bury his head in the floor.

Anemone couldn't help giggling. "Awww...you're cute. I don't think you're from the library, I think library birdies talk. Hang on." Keeping one eye on Bernard, she scooted around the corner quickly.

A few moments later she reappeared, donut in hand. "Hi birdie. Would you like a tasty treat? It's much better than eating Ms. Next's books, I promise."

A treat? For Bernard? He lifted his head slowly and blinked tiny beady eyes at the girl then eyed the food item in her hand. Yum Yum! Bernard snatched at it with his beak and raised his head high in the air, working his throat muscles to swallow it down.

Oh! Bernard wants more! Gimme more little person of the giggling type! He stepped towards her, closing in on her personal space and went to check her out, moving to poke at her with his beak.

"Here we go." she slowly took a step backwards before holding out the second donut, trying to ease the bird away from the books. She really didn't want to reshelve an entire aisle if he started knocking things over again. "Like jelly? This one has jelly."

Oh Bernard might be in heaven! He flapped his wings which might have connected with several books. Follow the treat, follow the treat, what the crap is jelly? Doesn't matter, follow the treat... Bernard poked his head towards the tasty wonder.

To her credit, Anemone didn't flinch as the books hit the floor. At least he wasn't knocking down the shelves. "Here we go," she cooed, breaking off half the donut and holding it out to him. "We'll try half first, yeah? 'Cause I don't know if birdies like jelly. I like jelly, but I'm not a birdie."

I'm not a birdie! Gobble. I can't fly even! I get made fun of! Bernard poked his head at her for the rest of the treat and flapped his wings some more in a show-off attempt to declare his great size and masculinity, and to prove that he doesn't need to fly. Look at me, you small person, aren't I beautiful?

That was pushing it. He knew.

"You're a rather proud fellow, aren't you?" Anemone knew preening when she saw it, especially from a boy. "Of course, if I had lovely large feathers like that, I'd be happy too."

She took another step back, dangling another donut at him. "Come on, why don't we go sit in the lobby, and you can dance around and show me how pretty you are without getting me in trouble with Ms. Next for having books everywhere."

Okay, whatever lady, just give me the treat because it's very good and I'm starving and lost and I am a manly bird. Bernard bobbed his head up and down and followed her feeling just the thing. She thought he had lovely feathers. He flapped them again, just cause.

Laughing, she held out the treat for him to take, resisting the temptation to pet him. Random Fandom animal - do not touch! For all she knew, he was a cursed student, and petting it might turn her into a bird.

She wanted a ride. Bernard just knew it. They all wanted a ride. It was inevitable that she would offer him yummy treats for nothing - no, she wanted to hop on and yell and kick him in the sides. He just knew it.

Bernard took the rest of the treat then lowered himself to the ground, blinking up at her with sad go ahead and get on eyes.

"Can I pet you?" Anemone blinked at him, surprised. "Really?"

Moving slowly so that she wouldn't startle him if that wasn't his intention, she sat down next to him, reaching one hand out tentatively to stroke a feather. He just looked so very fluffy!

Oh. This was new to Bernard. No one ever just wanted to pet him! He leaned his head towards her to lay in her lap. And he made a sort of purring sound, yes, it's possible in the world of Fandom!Animals, and closed his eyes, preening under her gentle touch.

Oh! He's soft! And very friendly! Anemone couldn't understand why everyone had been so melodramatic about Fandom insanity. This was perfectly nice.

"You are pretty, aren't you?" she told Bernard as she pet him, completely ignoring the disgruntled sounds Gulliver was making from his hiding place under the circulation desk. "Poor baby, all lost. You can just stay here with me until we figure out how to get you home, okay?"

That sounded really nice, Bernard thought. His belly was almost full, he was being petted which just amazed him, and give him a nice warm place to stick his head and he was good to go.

He figured he could stay here until those dorky cows came home.

He can definately stay until the end of her shift, and Anemone's already busy trying to figure out where she can keep him if no one comes to claim her birdie-friend. Maybe the stables?

Yes, Anemone wants to keep him. Until she figures something out, however, she'll just sit here and keep petting the rather large bird. Anyone who wants books will just have to wait.

'Cause I want to use my shiny new Fairy! Darn you,

importantman, now I've fallen to the evils of LJ and gotten more icon space!
