fandomhigh | Library [1.15]

There's a not-quite-awake Coralian checking in books at the front desk, and a panduppy patrolling the stacks.

Anemone's off in the stacks, trying to put Romance back where it belongs. Somehow they've all migrated over into Philosophy, and we can't have that!

Break time! Tea and internet, while deliberately ignoring her classwork. Perfect.

The library is closed for munchings and crunchings of lunchings. As you do.

Anemone's pouring over her tactics notebook from last semester, trying to figure out how to adapt the Lieutenant's strategies to LFO combat.

Back out into the library, where she's tidying up before closing up for the day. Gulliver is at the desk for all your circulation needs!

Because I hear that world ending is bad for your health.

Edit: For the record, I am rather sure that Dewey was a minion of Evil, and the Dewey Decimal System is classist.

Give me LoC any day. At least it makes some sense

A.J. had been up for...maybe a few hours, and he was already bored. So he was thinking of what he might possibly do to satiate his boredom, figured that he hadn't seen Anemone for a while but knew she was at the library today, and so, thus it came to be that he was in a place that he would probably never really be hardly ever.

"Anemone!" At least he knew to keep his voice in a quiet whisper, although the greeting wasn't lessened at all in cheerfulness. "Guess what!"

"Um, you did a cubist rendering of the Sistine Chapel in the church?" she guessed, closing the notebook. "I give, what?"

"Ooh, no," A.J. smirked, "but that's an awesome idea..."

Distracted for a moment over pondering if he might be allowed do do that (it was getting increasingly cooler with every ticking second), he shook his head to get himself back on track. "No. Not that. I learned something new last week. I," he straightened proudly, importantly, "can now braid hair."

The implication of 'now let me at that long beautiful pinkness!' was not said, but, really, did it need to be?

"Oh really?" Grinning, she set her chin in her hand and pretended to ponder this revelation. "And how, may I ask, did you learn this fantastic ability? One of the girls lend you their dolls to practice on?"

And in wandered a somewhat familiar (well, she's seen it before) face.

"Hello?"

...there was a lot of books in here. An almost terrifying amount.

Snorting slightly, A.J. leveled a look at Anemone. "Yeah, 'cause so many of the girls here are the doll-playing type," he commented before informing her, "And, actually, it was Ino. She taught me how and let me practice on her hair. Which, by the way, you're lucky is a regular color, because if it weren't, you might have a rival for best hair ever."

"Well," he added with a smirk and a shake of his head a second later, "besides me, of course."

"You never know, one of them might have a secret fondness for Barbie. They'd just have to kill anyone who found out," she deadpanned.

"I think I still win for longest hair, despite any challengers to my fabulousness. Which there aren't any," she declared, challenging him to contradict her, "because I'd still win."

Anemone looked up from her computer and gave a little wave, smiling. "Hi, Liir. Looking for anything specific?"

A.J. was already leaning...heavily...toward Annette on that theory...

"You know, though, Anemone," A.J. pointed out with an exaggeratedly hopeless sigh, "I'll never know for sure unless I have experience to base this claim on."

"Something on memory," he admitted. "The nature of it, possibly storage of it. Perhaps the human mind?"

"Riiiiiight," she drawled. "Okay, I'll bite. A.J., you can play with my hair if you want to. Where do you want me to sit?"

A.J. chuckled. "Well, I didn't necessarily mean now. I don't want to interrupt your hard work or anything. I just thought I'd come warn you that we have to do it now. Sometime. I actually should be getting some books while I'm here, actually. Crazy, isn't it?"

A snort escaped at the end. "If I want to. You'd like it, too, I'll bet."

"Okay, let's see what we can find," she said, beginning her search. "We've got (http://www.amazon.com/Human-Memory-Structures-Mary-Howes/dp/1412916291/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200420109&sr=8-3) a few (http://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Human-Memory-Cognitive-Psychology/dp/0863775454/ref=pd_sim_b_title_2) options (http://www.amazon.com/MemoryS-Ghost-Nature-Memory-Strange/dp/068482356X/ref=pd_sim_b_title_3)...are you looking more for the scientific aspect or the psychological stuff?"

"Yes, because I'm working terribly hard, can't you tell?" she teased, waving the notebook. "Just going over stuff from last semester, and I've already checked in all the outstanding books. Have a seat, entertain me."

The first two books she pointed out looked good, though the last seemed a bit ghastly. He shrugged.

"I don't really know. Psychological, I'd think. It's for an invention for Inventiontronics."

"Invent-a-whatsit?" she asked, puzzled. "You're inventing a memory-thinggie? Neat."

Biting her lip, she carefully wrote down a (http://www.amazon.com/Cultural-Psychology-Steven-J-Heine/dp/0393925730/ref=pd_sim_b_title_1) few (http://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Human-Memory-Cognitive-Psychology/dp/0863775454/ref=pd_sim_b_title_2) more (http://www.amazon.com/Your-Memory-Users-Alan-Baddeley/dp/1552979857/ref=pd_sim_b_title_1) options (http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Handbook-Memory/dp/0195182006/ref=pd_sim_b_title_2). "These might be helpful too. How can you build a memory?"

"Last semester?" A.J. asked. "What's the point of going over things from last semester?"

He took a second to access the situation before deciding to following Anemone's suggestion. "Think it'll be okay if I sit on the desk? And you can turn around, and I can braid your hair from there."

"It's a class on Mondays," he explained, "taught by Professor Ambrose. And I'm trying to invent, well... a backup for memories. One that would record them along with a person so that if they lost their memories, they could get them back again."
