Library [02/27]

[furnaceface]

Well, spring break had ended, and it was time to get back into the swing of things after a week spent in Hawaii. Somewhere between Kohala and Fandom, Jonothon's clothing had returned to him, which he was going to take as a sign of some sort. A sign, mostly, that he was never going to leave his things out of his sight again, and if anybody ever so much as looked at him with a Hawaiian shirt, he was lighting them on fire.

Honest.

The library, as if sensing this, seemed to be extra disorganized in every single section that involved happy, sunshiny things, thus demanding all of Jono's attention in places like the travel section, and the crafts shelves, and there was an entire stack of children's activity books, mostly involving little girls' paper cutouts...

If the books had any say in the matter, Jonothon was going to drown in fuzzy ducklings and pretty flowers and pink things before his shift was through.

//I imagine it's about balanced,// Jono offered, shrugging his shoulders a little. //I wouldn't know, luv. I don't actually watch many romances.//

Well, he was admittedly fond of Casablanca, but he was far more willing to file that one under 'classic' than 'romance.'

Be careful, Jono, or Raven might get it into her head to make you watch a romance movie with her.

"Then people must truly enjoy being frightened, if they make so many of these movies," Raven decided. "I am looking forward to the experience."

She said that now.

//I think what they really appreciate is the opportunity to experience fear in a perfectly safe atmosphere,// Jono mused. //Th'murderer on th'screen is never going to step out and start to chase you, after all. It's a head-rush, without th'danger.//

Some canons *cough* Charmed *cough* might disagree with you there.

"That does make sense," Raven said. A little bit, at least. She'd still have to judge for herself Wednesday night. "It is better to be momentarily frightened by something that will not harm you than it is to be scared of something that will."

That likely wasn't going to stop her from clinging to Jono's hand and burying her face in his shoulder during the really scary parts.

Honestly, did she think Jonothon would mind? That was half the reason that he'd insisted on watching so many horror films with Didi, when she was still around, too.

//Precisely. And really, most of what goes on in these films is so ludicrous, it's a wonder that anybody is frightened of what's in them at all. Really, it's all cinematography. Camera angles and lighting and stupid costumes and food colouring.//

"That does not sound so bad," Raven said. Really, how could she be afraid of simple food coloring?

She was so woefully naïve.
