Library [11/15]

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Thursday arrived early again on Thursday, setting Friday up in her office. After yesterday's news, she was more than concerned and kept checking on Friday more than was really necessary. She broke from the usual library rules today by making sure there was plenty of coffee, other drinks and food to go around for anyone who wanted to stop by.

Morning

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Thursday started to pile up the books that had been searched through yesterday. They wouldn't be reshelved for a while.

Cable arrived early (or, perhaps, had never quite entirely left the area). He was in during most of the morning, sometimes doing his own research, sometimes strolling around to keep an eye out for others.

He may have left for the clinic upon occasion.

Naomi returned to the library in the morning to continue helping with the research.

After the clinic, Karal came back to the library. Something like the mage storms in his world, which had swept across the land, twisting people and animals into vicious beasts, was still the only idea he had.

He kept looking for something similar, something magical - an event, an artifact, anything - that would cause a normal illness to change into a monster.

"Anything?"

There was Cable, passing by with serious gravitas and his command voice firmly in place.

Adah really wanted to be able to make it to the clinic today to possibly harrass someone into letting her have some actual samples to work with, but, clutching onto a cup of coffee, she wasn't sure if she wanted to walk that far. Oh, it was definitely the research that was wearing her down and not the thing they were researching. She'd definitely know the difference, and she knew that because she was so tired from all the research was exactly why she shouldn't go to the clinic because it left her way too vunerlable.

So. Books. Lots and lots of them and, eventually, hopefully, maybe something else, something more...

Luke had spent all night in the clinic and only left because his father yelled at him for being too hover-y.

This was as good a way as any to help out.

He found himself a quiet corner and began searching through really, really old, really dusty medical journals.

Artoo stood next to the table and warbled worriedly.

Peter was back at the books and couldn't help but think he was almost at something. Isabel mentioned something about how this might come from the island. Maybe she wasn't far off.

Peter pushed the book he was looking at away and said, "Huh."

Re: Morning

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Well.

That was an encouraging noise.

Cable looked up from where he was sitting, regarding Peter with some level of determined curiosity. "'Huh'?" he asked.

You could pry Willow's books out of her cold, dead hand.

Well actually you couldn't because she was alive, but you get the idea. Research-fu and Willow were very matchy things.

After a yesterday spent delving through his alchemy books to try to see if there was anything about alchemical sicknesses, he made his way down to the library to pull out more books on science and disease.

Sokka flipped through book after book, feeling increasingly useless.

"This SUCKS!"

Since his class was not being held that morning, Rodney went to the library to see if he could help out. Finding out that the little kid from his math class had actually died... well, Rodney really didn't know how to deal with that. But he did know he wouldn't be useful around sick people so there was no point for him to go to the clinic. There was also a certain amount of justified paranoia involved which contributed to his desire to stay away from the town hall, especially after his narrow escape the other night.

He grabbed a cup of coffee, settled himself at a table and began to search through books on magical aliments. Most of the magic stuff was little more than mumbo-jumbo to his scientifically oriented mind, but he hoped that he might be able to spot some sort of connection to what was going on.

Hermione was there earlier than her mun, rifling through books and taking notes, sometimes scratching them out of her notebook when she decided it wasn't anything relevant.

Lunch

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

The library remained open for all during lunch. There was no need to disturb those who wanted to stay.

Afternoon

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Thursday was around, tidying up and making herself useful.

Re: Afternoon

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

During Period 5, Thursday departed to teach Communication class. She handwavily arranged for someone to keep an eye on Friday while he napped in her office.

After spending his morning in the clinic, Sam was back to do more research. He might not have been getting much done though, with how he was holding a book, but staring off into space.

Re: Afternoon

After vanishing to places unknown the streets during lunch, Cable was back in the library by afternoon, running through building codes.

He did that a little better than magic.

He was also crawling closer to a critical point in his internal countdown. But he wasn't going to think about that.

Re: Afternoon

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter was going through any and all books on town records he could find in the library, trying to find anything that might support his 'magic asbestos' theory. He could be way off and probably was, but at least it was a direction for him to search in.

Re: Afternoon

Very late in the afternoon, Karal finally returned to the library (still in his robes) and collapsed into a chair, looking a little lost as he poked through the books on the table.

Re: Afternoon

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka wasn't entirely sure when the headache had started, but the words on the page were blurring together and nothing he was reading seemed to help any and nobody knew anything and people were dying and...

He threw the book across the room and screamed in frustration.

Then he winced and sat back down, rubbing his forehead painfully. "Okay," he said. "One more time. What are the symptoms?"

Re: Afternoon

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney was back at the books as soon as he left his afternoon class. He was getting increasingly frustrated as time went on and no real progress was made. Seeing Sokka apparently fall ill significantly increased his panic. If his own roommate had gotten it, how much longer did he have left?

Evening

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

When normal closing time came, the library remained open. It was probably about time to organise some dinner for those who had stayed around.

Plaaaaaaaaaaaague! It's still fun to say.
