Library [Thursday, January 8]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia was super excited about her new job! She'd dressed especially carefully today, to denote her new maturity: pinstriped hotpants over dark blue tights, bright pink suspenders, and one of her dad's work shirts over a white tank top.

Her hair was tucked up in a bun held in place by chopsticks, and her earrings were a very subdued pair of lacquered watermelon slices. On anyone else, it'd look like she'd mugged a deranged drag queen. On Claudia, it looked great.

She traipsed to the room number she'd been given on the piece of paper from the office and opened the door.

"Oh, it's full of books!" she said, sounding surprised.

Inner tube? Where the hell was she going wear a-

Right. Don't ask.

"Yes. Probably so," Indiana said trying to follow the logic there. "So. Do you have any questions so far?"

"Are there always banana-flavored things around?" she asked. "Because it really is the most inferior of all artificial flavors."

"Ah. Maybe," Indiana replied. "There seems to be a thing with the library and bananas this week. Yesterday there was banana bread. Before that it was regular bananas. And the other day my desk was filled with banana pudding. It will most likely be different tomorrow. And hopefully next week."

"I like strawberry," Claudia offered, just in case he was taking requests or something.

Indiana grinned and let out a chuckle. "So do I. Unfortunately the library seems to have a mind of its own. Which is why we're always nice to the books. And we don't complain about the bananas. Or anything else it might throw at us."

"It could throw the bananas?!"

"Well it's thrown books at me," Indiana admitted with some amusement. "So I don't think throwing bananas would be too difficult."

"But it's a library," Claudia explained patiently.

"Trust me kid," Indiana said with a grin. "It's not just a library."

He was pretty hot for an old guy.

"If you say so."

Too bad he was nuts.

"Give yourself a little more time here," he said trying not to smirk. "You'll see what I mean."
