Library [12/20]

Bridge hobbles in to the library just barely in time to set up things for opening.

Comments

First Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge spends first period processing that stack of returns that was waiting for him on the desk when he arrived.

Second Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Returns are all processed and just need to go back on the shelves. Considering he's currently on crutches while trying to do this, it takes a while.

Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

This is normally the time he spends studying, but with his finals done there's nothing to study. Fortunately, end of the year means a lot of returned books. So he's still hobbling about with the returns cart.

Lunch

Lunchtime finds Bridge poking somewhat halfheartedly at a tuna sandwich. Those who work here are welcome to stop by, library's closed for anyone else.

So this would be a good time for his phone to ring, right?

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Why yes indeed it would. "Hey! What's up?" he says after scrambling to retrieve said phone from his pocket and flipping it open.

Re: Lunch

"You do know you're crazy for limping in there, right?"

Re: Lunch

"It was really more of a hobble than a limp," Bridge points out. "I mean, I had crutches."

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

"You also know if Mel hadn't caught him I'd be tying you up to stop you, right?"

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Not that the tying-up is an entirely unappealing idea in times of non-crisis but if that were the case I'd just ask Bel if he could give me a lift." Why he didn't just do that anyway is anyone's guess.

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

Except Xander's. "....Why didn't you just do that anyway?"

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, I didn't want to bother anyone if I could manage it myself," Bridge says with a shrug. Not that Xander could actually see the shrugging what with being on the phone.

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

"Dumbass," he says fondly.

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Being courteous and being dumb are not the same things," Bridge replies.

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

"They can be, if being courteous makes you be limpy too."

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Going by how this worked last time, I'll be fine in no time," Bridge says easily.

Fourth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge is resisting the urge to call well... pretty much everyone he knows, and ask how they're currently holding up with the whole Angelus situation. At least he's captured now. That's gotta be something, right?

Re: Fourth Period

[multiplez]

Z (and that oh-so-attractive bruise on her face) decided that checking up on Bridge visiting the library would be a good thing to do. So oh, look, here she was. "Hey," she said by way of extremely eloquent greeting.

Re: Fourth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Bridge says, putting his phone back in his pocket. "I was... just about to call you, actually." It wasn't entirely true- he kept starting to dial, and then changing his mind about actually calling. And then two minutes later he'd be back to dialing. But Z's actually here now so that's sort of a moot point.

Re: Fourth Period

[multiplez]

"About what?" Z asked, looking confused. "How's your ankle? Keeping off it, I hope?"

Re: Fourth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Just um, to see if you were okay?" Bridge says. "And mostly?"

Re: Fourth Period

[multiplez]

"I'm fine," Z said. "It's just a bruise. And, you know, good."

Re: Fourth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You're sure?" Bridge says, peering suspiciously at said bruise. "Did you put ice on it or something? Or take an asprin, if it hurts?"

Fifth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

This would normally be when Bridge tidies up the library for closing, but it's harder to do that on crutches than he anticipated. Maybe he should stop getting freaking ankle injuries or something.

OOC

Should be around, though it's entirely possible I might get dragged out for shopping at some point.
