The Library Is Open (11/1/2005)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet walked into the library, opened it up, and sat down behind the Collections Desk, where she promptly began playing on the internet and eating chocolate working.

Cameron bounced into the library and headed straight for where Janet was seated. "Yo," he said as he leaned on the desk and grinned at her.

[janet_fraiser]

"Hey," she said, smiling up at him and hiding her chocolate. "How's it going?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Not too shabby. You?" *eyes chocolate*

[janet_fraiser]

"Not bad," said Janet. *offers a piece on the condition Cam not tell anyone else* "Just working on some cataloging while I can."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*grins and pops a chocolate into his mouth* "Mind if I bug you for a moment?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Nope," said Janet, closing up her laptop. "Please, distract me. What do you need?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I need sim data on the F-16, I know it's not a book but I'm really realy really hoping you can help me out there." He smiled sweetly at Janet and gave her his best puppy dog eye look.

[janet_fraiser]

"Flight sim data on the F-16?" asked Janet, grining at him. She turned to the library computer and started typing. "I'll bet we have something. You're lucky I like you."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Apparently I'm very likeable," Cameron practically bounced. Okay, maybe he did bounce. "Anakin thinks he can modify the flight simulator in Flight Club tomorrow so people can try out an F-16. It should be awesome."

[janet_fraiser]

"Yes, as a matter of fact, you are," said Janet, laughing. "You didn't know that? Anyway, that sounds like a lot of fun."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron blushes, but quickly hides it with bouncing some more. "It's lots of fun, I missed the last class but before that I was able to try out one of Anakin's planes. Not just a plane, but a space fighter. I didn't get to do a combat sim, but just flying around in it was awesome. The sim can reproduce Gs and it feels like the real thing. Not that I've ever been in the real thing, but Vala said it came close enough." He might be forgetting to breath.

"Oxygen is very conducive to our continued existence," said Janet, who was incredibly amused. "Sounds like a lot of fun for a future flyboy."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron laughed and nodded. "It is lots of fun and not just for future flyboys. You should try it."

[janet_fraiser]

"Maybe I'll come and watch you guys," she said. "When is it?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Tomorrow evening, it's usually in professor Amidala's vessel." Cameron smiled. "Sam, Lee, Aeryn and Vala are there too. Cally's in as engineer."

[janet_fraiser]

"Nice," she said. "You're in luck, I think I've found something." She printed out a sheet. "It should be in the section listed below."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Cool," Cameron grinned happily. "So I'll go get it and check it out properly this time?" He looks somewhat sheepish.

[janet_fraiser]

"Exactly."


OOC: And, lo, you have done so. Go do the flight sim at Flight Club.

Parker came in yawning.... and then just collapsed at the counter, almost asleep standing up.

"Afternoon. Mmph."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waved. "Hey, turns out Fearless Leader didn't really abandon us. Called away on business. He left a note. I just didn't find out 'til yeterday."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker turns her head to look at Janet. "That's a shock. Just business? You're sure he wrote it? It wasn't forged. People do that sometimes, you know."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet raises an eyebrow. "Why, yes, people do in fact do that sometimes." She shrugs. "Just something about a phone call from an old friend and business that needed to be taken care of. It might actually be nothing sinister--for once."

He owes me. Oh, does he owe me.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker somehow managed to shrug while still collapsed on the counter. "When is he coming back? Or do we have absolute power for the rest of the month?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Who knows?" asked Janet. "Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker nods, then pushes herself away from the counter. "All right, then." She grimaces, rubbing her eyes, and grabs a few things to shelve.

[swerval_zero]

I'm hopin' for absolute power, myself.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Wooo. I decide who borrows or buys. Heh." Parker suddenly looked disturbed. "Okay, moving on...."

[swerval_zero]

*comes in, glances at Parker* Afternoon, sleepyhead.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waves at Zero, then leans against a bookcase like they're new best friends. "Hiiii," she says on a yawn.

[swerval_zero]

Did you an' sleep part ways?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sleep ditched me around 4 a.m. when it was obvious that Weird Thoughts and I were getting way too well acquainted." Parker groaned. "God, I need a nap."

[swerval_zero]

*jerks head toward the office* There's th' cot in the back.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"There is?" Parker brightens, then shakes her head. "That says things about our Esteemed Leader type that are kinda worrying. You're sure?" she says, looking hopeful.

[janet_fraiser]

"Go." Janet waves toward the office, agreeing with Zero.

She might be reading up on new medical research online and not paying too much attention.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Awesome." Parker stumbles into the office, kicks off her shoes, and flops down onto the cot.

She is out like a light within minutes.

[swerval_zero]

Yeah. You know he lived here for a few weeks, right? Some kinda housin' problem in town or what-the-squall ever. Go get a nap; we'll hold down the fort.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker salutes Zero as she staggers to the cot.

*whump*

*sigh*

....zzz...

an hour and a half later...

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

... Darkness.

A hallway, narrow and quiet. And at the end, an elevator.

No. No. I am not going to remember this--

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

"Mamaaaaaaa---"

...blood on the floor, try to get to her, try--

//shudder//

...blue notebook. Reaching for it, it falls open....

I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES
I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES
I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES I DECIDE WHO LIVES OR DIES

--"Mine! Give that back!"

*cold cold cold--*

-- hand on her wrist, and a smile with fangs.

"I decide who lives or dies, Parker."



"Aaaah!"

Parker jolted awake, shaking.
