Library -- Tuesday

The fog was creepy. Creeeeeeeep~y, and every Coralian sense that Anemone had was hissing and spitting and standing on end; it wasn't natural, it wasn't right, and it grated like nails against a chalk board on her skin.

Still, the library was open, coffee on and Anemone pacing the aisles, something slightly... off, in her eyes. The library aide was in... you just might not be talking to the one that's usually on-duty on Tuesdays. At least, not completely.

"Hello. It is creepy," Joolushko agreed. "Although I wasn't sure if it qualified as being creepy enough to require research or if it was just regular island creepiness. And I also wasn't even sure where to start looking if it was something that required research. Have you found anything useful?"

Francine gave a shruglike wave of her free hand, that eeeehhhhh maybe gesture. "I dunno. I looked for stuff about unnatural weather and freaking out, 'cause I saw a cashier turn into something in the bakery that I really hope didn't make these doughnuts." She nodded towards the box on the table. "I found a mention of somebody doing a study on airborne hallucinogens, but it was on page full of mean gossip about the guy who wrote it."

Joolushko gave the donuts a wary look. Tainted baked goods would be a terrible waste of sweets.

"That is a place to start at least," she said. "Hallucinogenics and fogs and people that turn into things. A better place to start than 'fog that is creepy'"

"Creepy fog just got me a bunch of Stephen King fansites," Francine admitted.

Joolushko nodded, though she wasn't entirely sure who this King fellow was. The name sounded somewhat familiar at least.

"I suppose I should see if I can come up with anything. And leave you to your robot baby tending."

Francine put a finger to her lips. "Shhhh. He'll get a complex. We don't say the R-word around him."

Francine, when Arthur says trying to be clever doesn't suit you, it's not only true, it's especially true around aliens.

It was a special look that Joolushko was giving Francine right now. A look of 'riiiight, I'll just be over here. Which is far away from there.' "I see."

"Well, he's kind of a traumatized r-word baby," Francine explained. Francine should stop explaining. "His mom tried to eat him."

This was exactly why Joolushko didn't socialize. Humans were all quite mad.

"And you saved him?"
Asking a followup question was a mistake, but Joolushko had been taught it was wise to humor mad people.

Well, his mom was the maddest of the bunch, and she wasn't human. So there.

"His dad did. I'm just babysitting." Probably forever, yes. Shut up.
