Library is OPEN - 10/26

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos is engaged in a war with the never-ending pile of books to be cataloged. It looks like the books are winning.

"I was not hiding," Methos said loftily. "Just because I am not always here does not mean I am hiding."

He turns and nods to Ten the Doctor. "What's up?"

[The Doctor turns, smile turning into a smirk.] Hello, Me--Adam. A bit cheeky this morning, I see. Looks like you haven't had enough coffee yet.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*attemps death-glare* *finds it slides right off* Define 'enough coffee'.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

As in, this might be required. [He rummages in the bag and hands him a rather tasteful box (http://www.peets.com/shop/gifts_detail.asp?id=1048&cid=1000046).]

*accepts it and opens it* Well, Doctor, with this bribe, you've bought yourself a librarian. What can I do for you?

[OOC: No worries, just wasn't up to trying to play two characters. Still the same nasty cold.]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Signed, sealed and delivered, I'm sure, Adam. [He leans one elbow on top of the circ desk, chin in hand.] I was just wondering if you found that book--the one we spoke of on Monday--at all.

I'm trying to learn sensitivity and cultural awareness. [It's impossible to tell if he's baiting Methos or not.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

That's right. Hold on, I actually ordered it from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0380712539/qid=1130358825/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-0919266-2716663?v=glance&s=books). It's back here somewhere. *turns and rummages around underneath collections desk, and is totally not doing it for the sole purpose of bending over*

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Oh, you didn't have to go to that trouble just for me. [The Doctor's mouth twitches with amusement, once he's certain that Methos can't see him. He's checking out the other man's rear in a very subtle manner while pretending to read a poster of rules on the desktop.]


((That actually EXISTS? I thought I'd made it up! Need to take a nap, back in a while--blame CJ-mun for keeping me up until 3:15.))

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Well, you sounded so concerned about it, I though I would make sure you had a copy on hand. Ah, here it is. *surfaces with a large trade-paper collection in his hand* Do you have your library card? *blinks with limpid, and thus suspicious, sincerity*

[[Bwa. Fear.]]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[shifting his eyes quickly upward, still smiling that shit-eating grin] Of course I do. [He hands over his library card, accidentally touching Methos' hand as he does.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*grins, because ass to eyes is hard to do quickly, checks card and stamps book* Here you go. Two weeks, and apparently at least one of our assistants signed her contract in blood, so if you don't return it two weeks, she might come after you. With a mallet. *hands over book, manages to trail one finger along the Doctor's palm as he does so*

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. I'll keep the punishment in mind. Thank you, Adam. [He takes the book. Only a slight intake of breath betrays his calm.]

[On his way out, he turns back and smiles.] By the way, one of the discs from my Roland Emmerich collection is missing--do let me know if you see it about. Ta.

((Didn't know you weren't feeling well, will lay off ye, if y'like.))

"Of course not," said Janet. "You'd never flee like a little girl from the evil terrors of the library hide. So sorry. My mistake."

Her tone, however, gives lie to her words.

Methos manages a slightly-more useful version of the death-glare. It still slides right off. Must adjust caliber when aimming for people who actually HAVE been dead.
