The Library is Open (10/31/05)

After harassing asking Jaye about the next hockey practice, Janet walked over to the library. She took down the sign, unlocked the library door, and quickly hid the food behind the Collections Desk for the staff. She stuck up a "do not touch" sign on the books yet to be shelved, frowned again at the scorch marks on the ceiling--Methos could clean them off himself, damn it--and sat down to pretend to work.

"I can print you a list," says Janet. "But if you don't get them back today, I bring my copy to the librarian. And the fines get larger at his discretion." She sent the list to the printer. "How'd you forget you borrowed all those books?"

"Thanks." Sharon starts to run a hand through her hair, remembers the wig, and stops, hand half-raised. "Fines." She gulps, wondering if this will be on her transcript back to the colonies. "I don't... I'm not exactly sure, I just... forgot." How else could she explain things like missing time, and not being entirely certain what day it was?

Being of Mary Sue dispositionsurprisingly able to forget she has blackouts find the stack of books, Sharon returns to the library in time I hope to turn them in before the fine gets worse.

And then she waits to find out her fate.

Janet raises an eyebrow at the rather large stack of books, then checks them all in.

((OOC: How nice do you want me to be? Because Janet's inclination is to be nice to Sharon, since she's obviously rather bewildered. Janet's inclination is to either let the fine go and say Sharon was sick, or make Sharon come in with a bribe of coffee or chocolate for the librarian when he gets back. Which one do you want?))

"I don't know, I mean, I guess I must have..." Sharon trails off a little lamely, then says in a small voice, "What kind of fine do I have?"

((ooc: gaaah. Sorry. This thread got lost in a reboot. I vote for bribery. Mostly because I have no idea what kind of allowance the colonial people gave her. hah. er. hrm.))

Janet shakes her head. "At least you're actually sorry," she says. "Bring in some chocolate for the librarians some time, and all is forgiven."

"But don't do it again," she adds.
