The Library is open (11/2/2005)

Parker is trying to organize the books alphabetically, but keeps getting distracted by the ones which have photos of Bali, Tahiti, the Greek Isles, and Hawaii.

Parker makes a face. "They are *too* normal, if you're used to them. They're just people who are trained, for goddsake. But if you won't do that, go in a group? Please? Because we don't even know why or how Kitty was killed, it could've been some random freak, and Zero... you're not exactly intimidating. Except with a croquet mallet."

[swerval_zero]

*rolls her eyes* Whatever, this is shapin' up to be a silly argument, an' I don' even want to know why you think bodyguards are normal.

*pats her mallet* Got it right here. Don' worry, Parker, I'll be careful. I almost died enough times already last week.

"Because I've been around them most of my life. But I'm not going to argue this with you, I'll admit that most of the time, I was working on ditching them."

"Mallet *and* large group of people. Okay?"

Parker sighs. "God, I wish they'd just announce what happened and get it over with... but I suppose they're trying to investigate it, and trying to keep it simple."

[swerval_zero]

I'll keep it in mind.

They don' want to panic us. Right now, everyone's just jumpy an' a touch confused. I mean, students disappear all the time here, right? They come out an' say, "Oh, hey guys, one of the students died," it could cause a squallin' riot.

"Which, given what some people here are capable of... yeah. I wonder if the riot gear includes force fields?"

[swerval_zero]

Would've been helpful when the zombies attacked. At least it won' be an armed riot.

"I suppose we should be glad about that." Parker sighs. "Just please God, no riot in here. I'm sick of cleaning this place up. You missed the electrical storm aftermath when you were gone."

[swerval_zero]

Squall, no. If there's a riot I say we come in here an' lock the doors. Janet said somethin' about the storm. D'you think it coulda been one o' the SC books?

"Probably. Cats, storms, it's temperamental, and we still haven't seen that one professor with the beard come out of ithere, have we?" Parker frowns. "Maybe not the best place to hide, then. We'll just stick to the library when the revolution comes."

[swerval_zero]

It seems to like us--an' have you seen my contract? I should be safe back there, an' maybe I can make it behave. The library's the safest place on campus, I think. For us, anyways.

"We looooove the Library. You hear that, books? Keep on liking us, we like you!"

[swerval_zero]

*glances around* Yes, we take care of you, and clean you, and put your books back, an' you keep takin' care of us when we need you to, swerval?

*a sudden, momentary expression of intense calm comes over Zero's face*

It, um. It agrees.

Parker looks freaked.

"It agrees?"

[swerval_zero]

*looks more than a little disturbed herself*

It agrees. I'm still gettin' used to this. But, um, yeah. The Library really likes me.
