The Library Is Open (11/1/2005)

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.

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."

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.

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."

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

I'm hopin' for absolute power, myself.

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

[swerval_zero]

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

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?

"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.

"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.

"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.

Parker salutes Zero as she staggers to the cot.

*whump*

*sigh*
