The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocked the library and walked in, setting her laptop down warily behind the desk and trying not to think about Hathor the last time she was in here. She took a drink from her extra-large mug of coffee and started working.

ETA: She popped out a moment later and stuck a note up on the door: "New teachers need to check out the Rules of Conduct and fill out a library card application in blue or black ink, damn it. Please come inside for a form. Thank you."

Okay. Whaaaa? Parker blinked, feeling the whiplash of surprise, then said, "It's library. If you've got a card, you can check it out. It has to come back, though...." She tilted her head, trying to at least see which magazine has him so interested.

"I - uh - don't," Angelus said, finally dropping his hand down to hold the magazine with both hands. It was one of any number of tabloids that someone had left spread out on the table before he'd gotten there. "What's the fine on destroying a magazine?"

[ooc: Giving you this moment on a silver platter, btw, as thanks for putting up with his monologuing ;) ]

Parker noted the title, and took a step back. "We can get you a card," the surreality was becoming stronger, but so were the screaming of her instincts. Another step back. "And the fine is usually up to Dr. Pierson, something like replacement cost--"

_{[ooc: gracias and de nada, right back atcha]}

Angelus flipped the magazine closed. He checked the price: $4.95. He stood up, reached into his back pants pocket, pulled out his wallet, and dropped down a twenty.

"There, keep the change," he said. He folded up the magazine and put it into an inner coat pocket. His demeaner was scattered, as though the mind that had previously been so keenly on Parker was now worlds away. "I got someplace I gotta go. See ya."

[ooc: It's a shame we can't bring them together more often. He really does like her. Oh, and anybody with half a brain who looked at the list of people Angelus hangs out with would be able to figure out whose name was most likely mentioned in a tabloid.]

"...the hell was that?" Parker said aloud. One minute, Bond villain glee; the next, gone. She looked at the magazines spread across the table, and shook her head. Tabloids. Not Fandom High tabloids, but the Star, the Sun-- what would've been in....

Her eyes narrowed. "Echolls."


_{[ooc: Hope I got it right. *laugh* I get that he likes her, and I think she gets it too-- but she's contrary, and it makes her distrust him more. Really too bad we can't get them in more scenes!]}

[ooc: Yup, you got it right. He's does have his moments of lacking in subtlety. Poor, stupid, pretentious vamp.

Depending on how things go he might start saying hi to her more often. In his world just because you hate and distrust somebody doesn't mean you can't stop and chat. Just take him and Darla, for instance.]

<sub>[ooc: Well, brava on this. I think I missed some cues, but damn, you do good bad vamp.

Oh, that'll thrill her. *laugh*]</sub>

[ooc: She's his new best friend! ;) Nah, he actually sees a lot of potential in her. Not to corrupt b/c she doesn't hit his corrupting kinks, but just because she's got a brain. He loves smart. It makes him happy.

And thank you! You give good Parker, who is in a catagory all her own. =) ]

<sub>[ooc: Yeah, she's already way past innocent at this point. And hunh. Interesting take on it. *snerk*

And thanks and bows!]</sub>
