Library [Thursdsay 12/02]

[faithandscience.livejournal.com]

William had not yet given in to the urge to try coffee in place of tea. He was, however, going to avoid hot chocolate for the next while after last night's severe case of the hiccups following drinking the thermos Kuukaku had sent out to him.

In retrospect, he really should have anticipated something like that.

In any case, the library was open if slightly sleepy.

Who's got his tea and is clinging to it like a lifeline.

If you'd rather not deal with a slightly sleep deprived aide.

If you want someone who probably didn't spend most of last night lurking in bushes somewhere.

"William?" Scully came in fairly early, and smiled when she saw him. "I and a couple friends need to go back into Special Collections today. Mr. DeTamble wrote me a note. Would you mind showing us back there?"

"Would I mind?" William repeated, a grin starting to form. "Of course not. I'd be glad to. It's an utterly fascinating experience."

Scully looked intrigued. "Oh, good. Spock and Claudia should be here fairly soon... what was it like when you went in there?"

"Well, to begin it was... deceptively tame," William admitted. "But then there was some pinging fail on my part there was this sound like rushing water, and the next thing you know, we're being pursued by a tidal wave. Which, although I ended up quite drenched myself, somehow miraculously managed to not touch the books at all."

Well, not last night.

Henry was pacing a bit, and eying Special Collections. He had no problem with Scully and her friends going back there, especially with William to show the way. But he was still going to go in after them if they weren't out in a few hours.

Thursdays tended to be non-existent quiet for Claudia, so she was looking forward to having something to do, this time.

Plus, you know, Special Collections.

She had her handwavey permission slip, and did her best not to visibly vibrate with excitement. "Heya, William! I hear you might be joining us on an adventure, today."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

"Well, it would be remiss of me to send you in to Special Collections without a guide," William said, lips twitching up in a bit of a smile. "Plus, I admit that it fascinates me and I'd very much enjoy a return trip."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

"I'm totally looking forward to it." She had been looking for an opportunity to check it out forever, after all. "I've heard some weird stories, yo."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

"I've heard that it's never really quite the same experience twice," William said with a nod. "I'm looking forward to putting that claim to the test," he added as he pulled several pairs of protective gloves from a desk drawer. "Try these on," he said, handing Claudia a pair.

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[notmyownage]

Claudia slid one of the pairs on. "I'm guessing these aren't to make sure we don't leave any fingerprints."

"I should've brought boots, shouldn't I?" Now Scully was going to be all worried about that.

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Oh good, you made it." Scully brightened when Claudia arrived, then gravely said, "Did you bring waders?"

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[notmyownage]

Claudia blinked. "Uh. Was I supposed to?" She had her permission slip, and a few tools jammed into her pockets. Was she meant to bring a full regiment of wilderness gear?

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"William said there was a flood in there, last time." Scully quirked a smile. "But I bet we'd just end up clomping around in huge boots with no water, if we had brought any."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[notmyownage]

"That would fit the island's sense of humor," Claudia agreed. "No wonder they call it 'special'."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

Scully smirked, then sobered and said, "Here's hoping we find anything useful. I understand it's huge. I did bring a compass... just in case."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

"I'm sure it will be different this time," William said. "You'll have to wear gloves, though," he informed her, passing her a pair.

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully examined them with interest, then put them on. "To preserve the materials in the Collection?"

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[notmyownage]

"Probably a good idea. Still, I mean, it's a library, right? It's gotta have some kind of cataloging system."

Re: Talk to William! [12/02]

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"True. And labeling." Scully blew out a breath. "So, djinn, djinnayah, genies, wishes, curses, reversal of, for me; Rheticus and his compass for you. Probably not right next to each other, but this doesn't have to be our only trip in."
