Combined Reserves Meeting, Library, Thursday Afternoon

Karla, Dolf and Wesley had sent out a handwavy notice to the student body that today's Reserves meeting would take place in the library. Wesley, for his part, looked very much in his element. Maybe something to do with spending a day in here once a week for about a year now. Also, it could've been that his position as a library aide gave him the authority to veto Karla bringing in any cookies. For the sake of the books, you know.

"In case you're not already familiar with it, this is the school library," he pointed out, perhaps a bit unnecessarily. "We have quite an extensive collection of books and other resources that really come in handy for research during invasions and other such problems, so today we'll be showing you where to find the different materials." Because he was lonely in here on Fridays. Don't judge.

"The history section is over there," Dolf added, because that was pretty much the only part of the library he ever got into. "Just in case everyone was wondering."

Thank you, Dolf. "There's some works there about Fandom as well, if anyone is interested."

"I know we keep records of previous invasions, for example," Karla said. "No two invasions are alike, at least, not that I've seen, but there's nothing wrong with learning about the different kind of invasions we've had in the past, just to get an idea of the different kinds of things we might be up against."

Alligators that spat piranhas, bitey vegetables, gremlin things that weren't their gremlins, weeping angels, vampires, non-Caritas zombies, goblins...The list was getting pretty long.

"Either way, time is usually of the essence when we're under attack. It's hard enough trying to find information about whatever we're fighting, but trying to do so in the wrong section entirely squanders what little time we may have. By learning how the library's laid out in advance, you'll know where to go whether you're looking up the weakness of the attacking jello-dragons, or the best way to bind a wound, or whether those plants you're holding are edible or deadly poisonous."

[Cowritten with the usual suspects. Please hold for OCD, which will probably take FOREVER to post It did, but it's up now! Yay!]

"Or we could simply pour it into something that says 'tartar sauce' on it," Wesley pointed out. "She'd probably add the whole bottle."

She probably would.

"No." That was reflexive; give Tara a second. "...okay, so she probably would. Her world's a whole lot different from here."

Not that different -- not tartar-sauce-in-cookies different -- but Tara felt obligated to be at least a little loyal.

"I'm just repeating what I've heard," Wesley added. "I wouldn't have thought it possible, myself."

And Wes knew all about bad cooking. He was British.

Tara sighed. Woefully. "I've known her two years," she said. "I think the cookies are actually getting worse."

Which she wouldn't have thought possible, either.

"Even Katniss wouldn't eat them last winter," Wesley recalled tiredly. "She, er. Grew up eating squirrel. Not to speak ill of her upbringing, but in most cases, one would suspect baked goods would be an improvement."

But not with Karla. Sigh.
