Library [03/24]

Even though he hadn't had any visions lately, it was clear to Sam that something was seriously up in Fandom. The fact that he hadn't had any visions to tell him what was up was not making him happy, but he was trying not to think about it as he went back and forth grabbing books and materials for people who wanted to come and research.

If you don't want your researching interrupted by a floppy-haired boy.

Researchers, post your findings here on the ever-growing whiteboard.

Feel free to use this thread to chat with the people around you about what's up on the board.

Or feed him, he likes that too.

Once he pings in!

*spams your flists*

"Has anyone figured out what's going on?"

Yes, Arthur had made his way up to the library to figure out wtf was up instead of simply charging in with his sword. Please hold your surprise.

Arthur... did not know how to do research, per se. At least not in the intensive sense.

What he did know was 'hanging around until you run into academic types who do know what researching is', and so he made his way up to the library and poked around.

"Not exactly," Sam said, looking like he wished he had a better answer for that. He pointed to the whiteboard, with its few scribbles so far. "I think we've got a few leads, but nothing concrete yet. You're welcome to stick around if you want to...help look." Sam didn't know Arthur that well but he just didn't seem like the "sit still and read" type.

Claire stopped by to talk to Sam but she hadn't managed to bring herself to head in to town and stop at the Perk so she made coffee in the common room and had scrounged up a travel mug from somewhere instead. She also brought cookies to make up for not having delicious Perk coffee.

"It's so damn creepy out there," she said by way of greeting.

He... really wasn't.

"Hm," Arthur said, and snagged an errant piece of paper. "Would you mind letting me know if anything more gets posted to the board...?" He could always swing by a second time, but knowing things quickly would be useful.

"Sure, I can do that," Sam said with a nod. Anything that would make him feel more useful was a good thing.

"Tell me about it. Are you doing okay?" Sam asked, looking Claire over like if she'd gotten hurt, there'd be a visible sign. It was a force of habit, even on people who could heal themselves.

"I'm fine, Sam," Claire assured him. "But you get homemade coffee today."

She handed him the mug and a ziplock bag with some cookies (not homemade, alas).

"You're okay?"

"Morning, Sam," Henry said as he got to work, a little late and a little wild-eyed. He had the nagging feeling something had been following him through the foggy streets, and spent some time splashing cold water on his face before he felt anywhere near ready for work. He did his best to keep his tone level anyhow. "How are you holding up? It's pretty weird out there."

And, he noticed as he looked around, pretty busy inside.

Henry hovered near the researchers most of the day. It made for good busywork, and he was certain he'd have to show someone how to use the microfilm reader without breaking it at least once before the day was up.

Arthur nodded curtly and snagged a pen, quickly jotting down his phone number and shoving it towards Sam. "Thank you."

After class, it was clearer than ever to Jack that something was going on, and not knowing what it was had him jittery. Sebastien would have had him researching until his eyes bled; it was with some grim satisfaction that he made it to the library to do precisely that.

He eyed the board and decided to skip the computers and look through some scientific journals to see if he could learn any more about this von Slaptyback.

It was dry work for someone with only a rudimentary understanding of modern science. Eventually, however, he found one volume that made sense to Jack. He took swift notes as he read through it, keeping an eye open for anyone who he might be able to compare findings with.

"It's really weird outside," Chuck said when he came in. He didn't think it was that big of a deal though, which is why he actually went into town and got stuff from Luke's.

"No problem," Sam said, setting the number down in a spot on the desk where he could easily grab it if needed. "I hope I end up with good news."

"I have homemade coffee. I'm great," Sam teased. "Seriously though, I'm good. I haven't run into anything weird in town, although I kind of wish I had so I'd know more about what's out there."

Claire frowned a bit at that.

"Just promise me you won't do anything stupid."

"Good morning," Sam said, looking around as well. "I'm all right. Haven't run into any trouble yet, at least. How are you?"

"So I've noticed. Are you okay?" Sam asked, eying the takeout. The last thing he wanted was for Chuck to get hurt trying to bring him food.

"It's just fog, Sam," Chuck said, rolling his eyes. "I know I'm not as experienced as the rest of you when it comes to that sort of thing but I think I can handle myself."

"Not bad," Henry said. "I got a little creeped out, getting here, but now that I'm inside it's all okay."

He glanced back to his office. "I don't think I'll exactly rush about getting home, though."
