Library, [11/17]

[furnaceface]

Okay, so Jono was a little late getting himself into the library today for his shift, what with having to travel back from Vail and all, but he showed up as soon as possible, considering.

So soon, in fact, that he still had his bag of laundry and his guitar with him, both of which were sitting behind the desk while he set to work, re-shelving books and silently, very silently, chuckling to himself.

Once again, it looked as though he'd gotten off easy today, didn't it?

[Open library is just that! Open!]

Mod your library!

[furnaceface]

Because the aide isn't going to be there until sometime in the afternoon, anyhow.

Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

Who is probably going to laugh at you.

Yes, you.

Faramir had not been so lucky, but he had been reading the Dr. Seuss book for two weeks now thanks to having to stay out of the library because he lost a bet with his brother. Faramir simply needed a new book and to be honest, now that he had modern clothes (jeans and a blouse) which did not swim about him, he did not feel like hiding.

"Hullo, Jonothon," he greeted, placing the book on the desk. "It seems that Fandom must like you better than the rest of us."

//Mmm, I don't think like has much t'do with it. It gave me one hell of a rotten summer,// Jono noted, raising his eyebrow at... He'd get it in a moment, just give him time. //Faramir?//

When in doubt, use that sixth sense that he hated having to see what it was that his eyes couldn't quite place.

The Dr. Seuss book could have been a giveaway as well.

"Yes," he nodded. "Then it is giving you a much deserved rest?"

"You did not seriously go to work right after a vacation," Ariel said, arms crossing over her flatter than usual chest as she looked at Jono and tried to look surly over the fact that he was still his usual self although she was currently not.

But, really, by now, she'd gotten a bit more used to the idea and, so long as things went back, she figured it was a heck of a experience.

Re: Talk to Jono!

//I missed my shift last week,// Jono replied, as though that explained everything. When you were Jono, maybe it kind of did. //Figured I ought to make up for at least a little bit of lost time today.//

The attempt at surly was... an interesting look, really, for her. Please, pardon him for taking this moment to try not to laugh. He was fortunate that he didn't know many gingers, really. Placing who the not-so-surly bloke standing before him was was made significantly easier that way.

"Not that I needed a lot of proof in the first place," said Ariel, her surliness slipping all too easily into a grin that should be pretty familiar regardless of gender, "but you are officially a nerd."

The way she leaned forward a little on the desk was distinctly her, as well, leaning on her elbows and looking at Jono critically.

"How come you're not a girl?" she asked.

Rosalind, who looked utterly normal and was glad for it, stopped in the doorway of the library and arched an eyebrow as she took in the scene.

"I'm impressed," she announced, as she made her way over to the desk. "You're working."

Was he surprised that that was her reaction?

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

Not at all!

//And yer a gel!// Jono made the important observations today! Really! //Welcome to th'normal club, luv.//

... You know. Relatively normal.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, mildly amused at that. "It seems to be a rare 'club' today," Rosalind replied.

After getting back into town, Sherlock made a beeline for the library to find out more about this... this... this.

"Gender alterations," he demanded, stopping at the counter.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

... Please hold, Sherlock. Jono didn't take long at all to figure out just who you were, not wiht an attitude like that one.

He was laughing at you. And might remain laughing forever.

//Right,// he replied, once he'd regained his wits. //Would you like information on them in theory, or a history of all th'times it's happened on the island in the past?//

Re: Talk to Jono!

Sherlock tapped far too slender fingers on the counter as he waited for it to pass. "So it has happened."

A beat.

"Why haven't you changed?"

Re: Talk to Jono!

[ashockingbitch]

Look, it was the Prince of Wales!

Well, okay, no, it wasn't, but it was someone who happened to find herself looking like him, because the universe and the mun had a terrible sense of humor.

"You lucky wanker," Jenny told Jono when she saw him.

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Mmm, yes. A few people have already said as much,// Jono replied, glancing up from the books that he had been idly poking through. //... Jenny?//

It was either Jenny, or else he was being a horrible person for not at least attempting to show some respect. It was difficult to be sure, around here.

//That's a good look for you, luv. Very...// He waved a hand. //Regal.//

Yes. Regal.

"I woke up passed out across a bar in London," Jenny, who had enjoyed her vacation quite a bit, reported gleefully. "I should probably apologize to dear Lilibet for all the headaches she's about to have."

It was mostly curiosity that brought George here. She might as well see how her roommate had ended up.

"Oh, that's bullshit," said the grumpy-looking appeared-to-be-a-boy-today figure that entered the library. "How come you're okay?"

For bizarre values of 'okay.'

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//Because I have nowhere to put th'breasts anyhow,// Jono replied, with a bit of a shrug and a roll of his eyes.

Really, there were only so many people that this bloke could be. His head felt like it was full of psionic ants.

//It'd be a waste of the island's effort to so much as try.//

"I'd better get mine back," George said huffily. "I don't care if they weren't that big. They were mine. They're not allowed to just ... disappear."

Being a boy was weird. The first dick she'd ever seen close up was her own. And it made her walk funny to boot.

"... wait, is this just a special me thing?" Henry said when he finally made it into the library. (There'd been a few difficulties convincing the people at the train station he was allowed to claim Henry DeTamble's luggage.) "I feel like an idiot."

Re: Talk to Jono!

[furnaceface]

//No, I think this is more or less a special me thing,// Jono offered. Because that was helpful, right? //I've been hearing about it all day from blokes who should be gels and vice-versa.//

Pause. Pause. Pause.

//Mr. DeTamble, right?//

It was difficult to tell, around those assets.

Talk to the Librarian!

[furnaceface]

Should he ping in, regardless of gender!

Henry and his -- frankly rather spectacular -- new breasts were back in his office, trying to resist the temptation to prank call his friends.

OOC

[furnaceface]

I fully admit that the reason Jono didn't change is because he's a picky, picky jerkface when it comes to PBs, and Penelope would have been too easy.

... And too colourful.
