Library - CLOSED - 19 OCT -- NOW NFB

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

The library is closed. Behind the locked doors can be heard voices arguing.

ETA: At some point, someone sticks a sign on the door. "Library Staff Meeting. If you are on the library staff, you should be in here. If you're not, you shouldn't."

"You expect me to know and understand the logic behind your behavior when this is the first I've heard of any of these actions," said Janet. Her voice was calm. Level. Rational, even. Jack O'Neill would be worried. Nurses would be running for cover. "You start screaming at me for finding fault with your behavior when I don't know why you're acting the way you are. Stop it. Now."

"It's your job because you're the one who decided to start banning students from Special Collections preemptively based on your own biased judgment." Janet smiled. "Congratulations. You took on the responsibility for making sure the only people that made it into Special Collections were ones you approved of. Now own up to your actions. You screwed up, Parker."

"You are an incredibly irresponsible, careless individual," said Janet. In the past few minutes, her tone had gone from calm-but-firm to calm-but-irritated. Now there was anger in her voice. Even Teal'c had been known to hide when she was this upset. "You are absolutely convinced that Angelus is a murderer, that he has threatened you and Angela Chase in the past. So you forged my handwriting to your note banning him from Special Collections."

"You're an idiot if you think I'm going to believe for one second that you were thinking about anyone but yourself," snapped Janet. "Don't give me that crap about making sure he wasn't mad at me and running out of time. Couldn't you come up with a better lie? One that doesn't insult my intelligence?"

Janet took the folder from Parker. "Did you think I liked him?" she asked. "Did you think I wouldn't believe your concerns were valid?" She shook her head. "Next time you get suspicions about someone's character and motives, Parker, don't be stupid. Don't forge your so-called friend's signature to a note banning that person from the information you think might get you in trouble. Maybe you should have asked that so-called friend for help before putting her on the spot and getting the vampire mad at her."

Janet turned to Professor Methos. "Professor," she said. "I'd like you to explain to Angelus that someone forged my handwriting on that note."



OOC: Anyone object to Janet making a photocopy of the materials in the folder?

[OOC: Not I, as long as Methos gets to read it too.]

"I would be happy... ah, I will. And explain to Professor Jerusalem what's going on, now that *I* know."

(OOC: We'll share! Tomorrow's thread for that?)

"Thank you," says Janet crisply. "I wasn't looking forward to spending a day in detention."

Parker has gone silent during most of this, still angry, but unable to come up with rebuttals. And starting to feel guilty, too. This gets her attention though.

"I'll take the detention. I said I would. I'm not *that* bad a friend."

She presses her lips together. "I said it was a mistake making the forgery. I just... I had a moment. Okay, you're right. I wasn't thinking it through." Muttered in a much lower voice: "I'm sorry."

"You haven't been around to tell anything. Neither of you have been. I don't know what's up with you, Dr. Pierson, but it's not like we ever know when you'll be here." Parker looks at Janet. "You I should've just camped out for, I guess, and waited until the Daniel Jackson Drama was on intermission, then gave you this file."

"What else do you want me to say?"

"Thank you," said Janet.

"You could have come and found me," said Janet. "I would have set aside the mess that is my love life for this. Besides, I've been eating ice cream and reading books on genetics for two weeks straight now. Trust me, I needed the distraction."


OOC: And I think any plans for Janet to be mad at Parker longer were well and truly nixed by today's Ethics class. :)

Parker.... didn't have a response to that. She was too tired and angry and, let's face it, ashamed.

"Next time, I will," she said stiffly.
