Library [10/23]

Hallowe'en decorations! In the library!

It was more likely than you'd think!

Jonothon was already in good spirits once again today, considering he had a date for the dance after his shift. Coming in to see the library done up in preparation for a day of the year when the freaks took the forefront was even better, still. If anyone needed him today, he was going to be wandering about, making certain that the decorations were all properly askew, and then hanging up some more fake spiderwebs. Because a spooky library wasn't complete without an absolute overdose of cobweb, after all.

He was making a list in his head, yes, of what he ought to bring in next Friday to complete the look.

Jonothon is quite merrily making his way about with a ladder, to ensure that the rubber bats are secure and that no nook or cranny of spider-webbable space is missed.

He doesn't eat, so he's here! He's got a list written out, now, mostly consisting of things like black lights and a spooky sounds track to be played silently in the background.

And skeletons. You can never have too many skeletons.

Back to work! He's run out of cobwebs to hang, but that's fine. He's found a bag of little plastic spiders to stick up amongst them, now!

This is important work, damn it.

Ben popped into the library, a flat packet in his hands. "I brought you something back from home," he said with a slightly evil smile.

//Music?//

Try not to sound so chipper about this, Jono. He was threatening that Droid Spoken Word stuff, after all.

//Please, tell me it's music?//

"Music," Ben confirmed, tossing the packet to Jono. Inside he'd find three discs of the latest Corellian bands and a holodrama called Luke Skywalker and the Revenge of the Jedi. The latter was a very, very, very bad movie.

//Music!// Jono caught the packet, trying not to look too eager to check out the contents. //Brilliant!//

And then he was rifling through the contents, because, damn it anyhow, he couldn't help but glee over things like this.

//Music and...// He held up the aforementioned holodrama, curious. //Film? Is this th'one about yer father?//

"It's one of the movies about Dad, yeah," Ben said, laughing. "It's really terrible."

//Better or worse than that one we went to a while back?//

Because Jono was pretty certain that it was difficult to top that slasher film. But if such a thing could be done, he'd be all over that.

"Less blood and fewer breasts," though what they had done to Mon Mothma was a tragedy, "but if you knew the actual story, this one makes the plot of the one we saw make, you know, sense."

//Well, yer going to have to educate me about what actually happened, if I make it through th'whole thing and still have no naffin' clue what's goin' on,// Jono decided, chuckling and shaking his head. //Sound fair?//

"Definitely," Ben said, leaning against the counter. "Going to the dance tonight?"

//I am,// Jono replied, and there was almost a note of awe in that statement, somehow. //I wasn't going to, but then I figured... Might as well. And Didi is going. I mean, I'm takin' Didi. I mean...//

This was still new and novel, okay? People liking him for him, and all. He was going to kind of just stand there, wide-eyed.

//I have a date.//

"Good for you," Ben said, clapping his hands. "I'll have to look for you. Tahiri and I are going together."

//I'll be hard to miss,// Jono laughed. //I mean, unless any of th' alumni run about wrapped from nose to belt. Though I think I'll actually make an attempt to dress nicely. It can't be that difficult, can it? Have yer done this before?//

Probably not quite the same way, what with trying to look fancy while bound up in leather bandages, Jono, no.

"You'll be easy to spot unless Darth Vader makes an appearance and that would be awkward on a number of levels," Ben decided. "And I've gone to dances before, yeah. And dates. But I'm not really good at it, I don't think."

Jono would ask who in the world that Darth guy was in a moment. This other subject seemed suddenly so very much more important.

//Not good at dates? What, yer figure yer messin' up somehow?//

He didn't seem entirely convinced.

"Well, it's only been with Tahiri," Ben said, blushing to match his hair, "so it's hardly a reliable sample."

//But it's th'one that counts, isn't it?// There went Jonothon, crossing his arms over his chest. //She's yer girlfriend, right, mate?"

Ben nodded. "For almost a year now." And how had that happened?

//And has she had any complaints?// Jono plucked a plastic spider from a nearby bag and proceeded to walk it across the desk toward Ben. //Anything that really stands out at all?//

Ben stared with amusement at the spider. "None that she's really mentioned," he said.

//Well,// and at that, Jono was reaching forward to plop the spider down onto Ben's head, //what makes yer think yer no good at it, then?//

Ben reached into the Force and had the spider do a jaunty dance on his head. "Maybe she's just being nice?"
