The Library Is Still Closed (Sort Of)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet is sitting, alone, in the library, with a very determined expression on her face. Books are spread out across all the desks as she sorts them for re-shelving, and the toppled bookshelf (or two) from yesterday has not been righted yet.

She may have, however, forgotten to lock the door.


OOC: In other words, the library is technically closed, but the room is open for interaction and people to come and try to find out what happened.

Lee opens the door and looks in. "Hey Janet -- what's going on here?"

Elizabeth looks past Lee. "Uh, yeah, I second that question."

"Apparently there was a freak electrical storm in the library early yesterday morning," said Janet, frantically tryin. "I saw the tail end of it, and then spent half of yesterday cleaning up in here."

Elizabeth moved to dump her bag by one of the desks. "Okay, what needs doing"

[janet_fraiser]

Here.

"I'm reshelving the books that were knocked down yesterday," says Janet. "Actually, I'm sorting them for reshelving."

"Do you need help?" Lee asks.

[janet_fraiser]

"The books are mostly sorted," said Janet. "Could you help me get the bookshelves back upright, though? It's only a couple."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem," Elizabeth replied, moving to the nearest one.

"Sure thing, Janet!" Lee says helpfully and flexes his awesome arms as he manuvers the bookshelves back into place and refits the shelves that fell out.

Janet helps with this, staring at the arm-flexing and making sure that no one throws out their back.

"Thanks, guys," she says. "I wasn't looking forward to that. Can I get you to help me out with putting the books on the shelves?"

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Lee says not breaking a sweat. "Just tell me where to put what book where."

[janet_fraiser]

"That table," says Janet, pointing at one off to the left. "Goes on the first bookshelf. I've got them in rows based on the order they needs to go in."

Oh, well. It's better than the zombie weekend cleanup.

Lee is helpful, omg, and smiles charmingly at the girls.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet smiles back. "I really appreciate this," she says.


((For the short people!))

You were so much less than helpful last night, you jerk. And you made my girlfriend cry.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well I hate you and Janet's cute. That's why.

You're lucky Kara didn't crack your skull, you frak.

"Not a problem. It's typical that this happens with both Zero and Parker MIA. And apparently, the librarian too," Elizabeth adds, after looking around the library.

[janet_fraiser]

"Yeah, we're down to just me today, so I really appreciate the help, guys," says Janet. She goes to find the ladder and a book cart.

"Hey, it's not a problem," Elizabeth replies. "It's not like I'm doing much else today."

[janet_fraiser]

"I know!" exclaims Janet. "On the one day I have no other classes! I'd been counting on some quality time slacking before Parents Weekend."

"Because we're so not going to get a chance to relax this weekend," Elizabeth agrees. "I'm going to have to abandon you this afternoon though, for history and advanced negotiations. Unless they're cancelled," she adds, hope in her voice.

[janet_fraiser]

"Relaxation?" asked Janet. "Hardly. Not with Uncle George around. I'm sure to be yelled at for something I've done." She thinks of all the letters she hasn't written. "Or haven't done."

"Maybe your classes will be cancelled," says Janet. "Maybe you'll get lucky."
