Library; Monday [ 09/01 ]

Instead of a gym this morning, Cal Stephanides was in a library, opening it up, taking a slightly worried look around, and then settling behind the desk. He still wasn't sure why he went out and got this library position, but he figured it wasn't like he had anything better to do. He just hoped that the responsibilities weren't taxing and the he could go back to trying to get more reading done.

And coffee, of course, was a necessity.

"Buffy?" Cal asked, blinking as he remembered someone telling him about her, but he couldn't remember who. Still, a name like Buffy and the inherent, immediate associations it gave Cal was not easily forgotten. And, after giving Buffy another, closer look, he realized that...yup. She looked exactly like any other type of Buffy he'd known so far.

He shook his head. "Uh, hi, nice to meet you. And no, I'm not new. I started over the summer, but this is about one of the first times I've been in the library. It's a bit of a jump from rarely visiting to suddenly working here."

"Yeah, I bet," she said, and tried to add casually, "So you probably wouldn't know where the occult section is yet, right?"

"The occult section?" Well, that was very un-Buffy of her, and Cal frowned a little as the expected lines of all these girls supposedly being carbon copies of each other with the one radiant exception of the Obscure Object blurred. "Um, no. But I can tell you where the Greek philosophy and poetry are, and early 1970s American history."

What? He'd gotten curious as how the things he grew up with were being studied.

That didn't really help her, but she didn't want to be that weird girl who had to know where the occult section was, at least not on day three. "Good," she said quickly. "That would be good."

Maybe she could find it while wandering around.

"Greek stuff?" Cal pointed toward one area of the library. "That way. American history?" He moved his finger. "There. Occult? I'm gonna guess...maaybe..." He pointed to another spot and then circled his finger around a little to denote a rather large and general area, "over there."

He set down his hand. "I could draw you a map if you wanted."

"Oh, thanks, but I think I got it." If she had to wander, it was less weird when you didn't have a map in hand, after all. "Newbie rule, after all: no accepting maps from non-newbies. That way potentially leads to badness. I'm street smart. Or, you know, library smart... I'm gonna go looking now."

Cal snorted a little. Because venturing off on your own anywhere in Fandom was any safer than potential pranks. Even those woods weren't safe because he'd ran into Fanbutt there. Oh, newbies.

He certainly wasn't going to say anything, though. Last night and his own annoyance with constantly being told how weird this place was inspired him to keep his mouth shut. He gave Buffy a half-hearted little salute and said, "Good luck. If you need anything, just shout and we'll play Marco Polo 'til I find you."

"Got it, thanks," she said with a smile, and headed off in one of the directions he'd pointed.

And if she was examining the floor as she was wandered around, looking for possible evidence of a Hellmouth breach, well, who could blame her?
