Library [08/29]

[furnaceface]

Jonothon had been in desperate need of the familiar today, and waking up this morning to realize that the person who was sleeping in Jak's bed was most definitely not Jak had been jolt enough to spur him into actually getting to his feet of his own accord, pulling on his cleanest dirty clothing, and making his way down to the library today for his shift.

That he was now moving through the stacks like a man possessed, looking over the course calendar for the semester and setting out displays of books that he thought other students might find topical to each and every class... That was something else. Now that he'd immersed himself in the familiar, he was hell-bent on not letting himself think too hard about why he'd needed it so badly.

The library was open, and was possibly almost too ready to face students new and old.

[The library, it is open.]

Easiest, but not quite as fulfilling of an answer and Faramir's curiosity went far.

"What sort of things does it play then?" he asked.

//Music,// Jono replied, immediately. And then, a little shamefaced, he added, //And news. Predictions for the weather. Things like that. Somebody elsewhere picks what it plays, and when you turn on th'radio, that's what you'll hear.//

"That sounds interesting, I will have to try to listen to it later," Faramir decided. "I wonder if this world's music would be very different from my own. Somehow I'm guessing it will be."

Jono looked Faramir over, once, and then gave a somewhat decisive nod.

He wondered what the other boy would make of the alternative station that he usually had it tuned to, but he wasn't going to be the one to say anything about it.

//It usually is. There's a good deal of variety, though.//

"And much of it will confuse me terribly," Faramir guessed. "I might be beginning to see a pattern."

//There's a lot to pick up on,// Jono noted, vaguely bemused. //But it really does all boil down to th'fact that there's always more.//

"Such if the faith of all mortals," Faramir agreed with a chuckle. "The more we learn, the more we realise how little we do know."

No, Faramir didn't think he was being too philosophical for a Sunday. He didn't even know it was Sunday.

Jono liked it better the way he said it.

Plonkers. The entire bloody world is surrounded by naffin' plonkers.

... But it was pretty much the same thing.

//Is there anything else I can help you with, Faramir?//

Re: Talk to Jono!

Faramir would find that there was some difference between the two.

"No," he said with a shake of his head, reaching to pick up the book and CD player. "You have been of a great help already. I thank you."

//Yer welcome, then. And if any of it gives you any trouble, I work at th'Groovy Tunes in town on Tuesdays. Stop by then and I'll see what I can do.//

"I shall remember," Faramir replied. "I hope you have a pleasant day."
