Library [10.21]

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Knowing that this coming weekend was the 'Parent Weekend' nonsense had put Anemone in a strange mood, alternating between melencholy and spiteful. She had grabbed a poetry book from the shelves as a distraction, in a legitimate attempt to broaden her literary horizons. They were probably going to study it sometime in class, and she didn't want to feel like an idiot for not knowing any poems.

And voices are / In the wind’s singing / More distant and more solemn / Than a fading star.

Anemone tossed the book across the room with a snarl and stomped off in search of a decent comic book. Poetry was stupid.

The Fandom High Library was open, but beware of flung books.

Mod Thy Library

For those that don't need the assistance of the library aide.

Ichigo showed up before third period and started browsing for books on trebuchets or onagers as he waited for Romeo.

Romeo walked in, gave a wary eye to the pink-haired girl behind the counter, and went to find Ichigo.

"Good morning," he greeted. "Find anything of interest?"

Re: Mod Thy Library

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it might have been in another section," Ichigo smirked as he added the book he'd been browsing through to his stack.

Re: Mod Thy Library

Romeo stood on tiptoes to snag a book with a pretty cover. "Then I revise myself: Anything that will help us in our project?" Though he could see Ichigo had a few books, really.

"These should do," he held them up. "And there was one that looked awesome, but I don't know French."

Re: Mod Thy Library

[withoutverona]

"I do," Romeo said casually. "I spent some time in France. Though I might not be much for the actual science parts."

"That's good to know... It looked like some kind of inventory on anything medieval," Ichigo backtracked down the shelves to find the book. "They have sketches of clothes and weapons in it and even city walls."

Re: Mod Thy Library

[withoutverona]

Romeo took the book from Ichigo's hands. "I can read most of this," he announced. "It's just pictures and descriptions, mostly, but it would give us some idea what it should look like once it's done."

He snagged one last book and headed for a table.

Talk to Anemone

She could help you find the book you want, but Gulliver might be the safer (saner) option.

Robin was sitting in the farthest corner of the library, hidden away among the stacks. He was looking at a stack (http://picasaweb.google.com/celticsonbloodnsoul/RobinArt#5259716031867640706) of (http://picasaweb.google.com/celticsonbloodnsoul/RobinArt#5259716032372319490) photos (http://picasaweb.google.com/celticsonbloodnsoul/RobinArt#5259716035758229426) that had just arrived in the mail, along with a cassette tape.

He was curled up on the table with the pictures in front of him. He was just short of rocking back and forth.

Even in her Mood, Anemone recognized that it was odd for the muppet to come in without stopping by her desk, and after while she went in search of him.

"Sweet-Robin?" she called, sticking her head around the shelves. "Are you finding what you need?"

Re: Talk to Anemone

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin started out of his reverie. "Uhm, uh, yes?"

Re: Talk to Anemone

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Finding. Things," Anemone said slowly. "I was asking if you needed any help. Are you okay?"

Re: Talk to Anemone

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin struggled with his desire to continue pretending, but he just couldn't do it anymore. "Not really, no."

Re: Talk to Anemone

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

She leaned against the table and glanced down at the pictures he had there. "Well, what's wrong? Why are you lurking in my corners?"

Re: Talk to Anemone

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I needed a quiet place I guess." he said. He looked back down at the pictures, and sniffed.

At the sound of a book being thrown, Indiana came out of the office with a concerned look on his face.

"Is there a problem Anemone?"

Re: Talk to Anemone

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"It's deliberately being difficult," she answered, vanishing for a moment to retrieve new reading material.

A few moments later she was back, surfing and aviation magazines clutched in her hands. "There. Better."

Re: Talk to Anemone

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it was," Indiana said with a sigh as he picked up the book. "But you know as well as I do that the library doesn't really like that. Right?"

Yes. He had accepted that the library had feelings. Somehow.

He gestured to the library at large and gave Anemone a prompting look in the hopes she would offer it an apology.

Re: Talk to Anemone

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"I asked for a nice book," Anemone scowled. "That - " she pointed accusingly at the offending volume (http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/) - "is not nice. It's doing it on purpose."

Re: Talk to Anemone

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

He did his best not to sound exasperated. After all Anemone was more familiar with the library than he was at the moment.

"Still, I'd prefer that we didn't mistreat the books," Indiana said looking at the volume and then carefully putting it in the return. "It's okay to have a difference on opinion but let's not start tossing books around."

Re: Talk to Anemone

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Fine, no throwing books unless they actually bite," she sighed, flopping on to her seat. "It was still being mean, I think it knows about next weekend."

Re: Talk to Anemone

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

Indiana gave her a wry grin. "Not looking forward to parents weekend?"

Yeah. He could understand that.
