Library, [01/09]

[furnaceface]

Jono was perhaps a bit distracted today as he went about his duties in the library, straightening out this and that, making certain that the displays were all in order, checking for overdue books and, failing all of that, dusting.

And if he just so happened to be lingering in sections that had books on things like demonic possession, well, that was purely coincidence, really.

Truly.

Mod your library

[furnaceface]

In case you don't feel like chasing down a slightly distracted library aide today!

"What classes are you in then?" he asked because that was still vague.

Re: Mod your library

"Paranormal and Primatology," she said, lifting her chin slightly.

Re: Mod your library

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"So monkeys and ghosts?" he guessed, tilting his head. "The paranormal stuff could be interesting, no? And you can use the other class to learn how to deal with the rest of the school."

"Such a high opinion you have of your classmates," she said, quirking her lips.

Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Who will be happy to assist you!

... In spite of all appearances, yes!

Demonic possession? Why on earth would Jono need books about demonic possession? Certainly not because of the demony girlfriend come to visit him after hiding in her room all day yesterday. She was fine, really!

"Hello, Jono," Raven said. Her voice was warm and she did her best to make it seem perfectly normal, but she couldn't entirely hide the tired strain on her face.

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Oh, yes, Jonothon noticed. He'd been looking for it, and couldn't quite help that small flash of concern for her when he'd looked her way.

//Well, hello, Sunshine,// he greeted, offering her a small nod. //How are you doing, today?//

He raised his eyebrows a little, waiting for the 'fine' that he imagined was nigh inevitable.

Re: Talk to Jono

[trigons_child]

He knew her too well.

She moved close for a hug, because she was demanding that way. "I am fine," she said, fulfilling all expectations. Her brow furrowed. "But you are worried about something."

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

He certainly wasn't about to turn down that hug. He rather felt as though he needed one, himself.

//You look tired,// he noted, softly. //Another rough night, luv?//

"101 Ways You Might Be Possessed?" Rosalind asked, peering around him at the books he'd been dusting. She'd had to track him down when he hadn't been at the desk. "Daemonic Works Through The Ages and The Dark Road to Madness?"

She arched an eyebrow.

"Cheerful stuff."

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Jono's eyes went perhaps a little wide as he flipped the book in his hand shut and stuffed it back on the shelf.

Because, you know, she hadn't just read the title aloud or anything already, no.

//Well, you know me,// he replied, hands going into his pockets, one pulling out the cloth that he'd been dusting with. //Ever th'very picture of good cheer and optimism, really.//

Re: Talk to Jono

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"Normally that extends more to your music, rather than your reading tastes," she said dryly, leaning against the shelf the book had been stuffed back onto. "And subtle."

Not at all.

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//I'm also a master of subtlety,// Jono replied, shrugging his shoulders. //It was an interesting section to find my way to. And around here, demonic possession doesn't seem like something that's terribly unheard of, really, does it?//

Wonder why, Jono.

Re: Talk to Jono

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Oh look, someone he'd been meaning to talk to.

"Hey, Rosalind," Jake came over when he spotted her.

Re: Talk to Jono

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

Oh look, someone she'd been not-quite-avoiding out-right.

"Jacob." She glanced at him. "I trust your week has been well?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Ugh, leeches. The stink still burned the back of his throat and somehow it led to Jake deciding to pester Jono. Two stinks cancelled each other out? Or maybe he was missing his fellow freak. Nah, that was just not possible.

"Hey. Hard at work?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//Hardly working,// Jono replied, his tone something edging onto pleasant as he turned to face Jacob. //Back to th'realm of bipedal and sentient, I see, mate.//

He'd missed Jake. So sue him.

Re: Talk to Jono

"Yeah, and I'm not complaining," Jake wrinkled his nose. "Turning into a wolf, I can handle. Being a stuffed one? Boring... and annoying."

Karla was actually relieved to find Jono in this section of the library--though a knot of dread hit the bottom of her stomach when she did.

"Looks like I don't actually have to ask you my questions," she said, tracing her finger down one of the spines. "You've noticed it, too, then?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Jono looked down at the book in his hand, and then nodded a little before directing a slow look in Karla's direction.

//It's difficult not to. Professor Skywalker has, as well. I was actually going to come looking for you, luv, but you seem to have beaten me to it.//

Re: Talk to Jono

[glacial_queen]

"It helps I knew where you'd be today," Karla said, leaning over to glance at the title. "I was going to give you a call on Friday, but then the phones went crazy and...that wasn't a message I wanted sent to half the school."

She sighed. "So you, me, Professor Skywalker, and Dinah," she listed, not mentioning it was Dinah who'd tipped her off. She was still guilting over that. "Anyone else, you think? Maybe Kennedy or Tara or something?"

Talk to the Librarian

[furnaceface]

When he pings in!

Henry looked a little askance at the sections of the library Jono lingered in and decided he could find his own reshelving to do in places a little less demonic.

OOC

[furnaceface]

It's snowing so hard that I can't see across the street.

Finally, the weather decided to remind me that I live in Canada and can't have green grass all year around!
