Library is Open -- 11/7

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

The librarian is in an exceedingly good mood today, even if he's currently trundling books that still need to be shelved after the Quickening the freak lightning storm that hit the library a week and a half past. Even more surprising, his mood does not seem to be dependant on caffeine, as there is no mug on the Collections Desk since Janet someone broke it.

"Hi," says Janet. "Is everything all right?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten eyes Methos' retreating back. Though he speaks to Janet, he watches him, expression continuing to be unreadable.] Uh. Aye. I'm fine, thank you for asking. I'm returning this book. I hope it's not overdue, I seem to keep...being distracted.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet suppressed a grin, but mirth sparkled in her eyes. "So, do you know why Professor Pierson's so cheerful this morning?" she asks, trying not to laugh. "Zero and I are thinking he's had a run-in with Crazy Squid Lady. What's your theory?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

My theory? [The Doctor's gaze moves and he looks straight at Janet. He's not smirking, really, he's not.] You probably don't want to hear it. My theories usually involve alien conspiracies and the like, not things anyone considers practical.

((I HATE YOU.))

[swerval_zero]

Alien conspiracy? *tilts her head thoughtfully* So like we said, the Crazy Squid Lady.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[His smirk widens as he looks at Zero.] Ms Hopeless-Savage, I can assure you that Professor Drusilla isn't an alien. Takes one to know one, believe me. And that definitely wasn't what I was thinking happened to M--Adam.

Methos comes back around from the stacks. He sees the Doctor and his grin increases. "Good morning. What's this about alien conspiracies?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Wipe the smirk off his face? Please.] Adam. Morning to you. Your diligent assistants were just speculating as to your good cheer this morning.

[He turns to Janet and Zero.] If you MUST know, Darth Vader came down from the planet Vulcan in order to tell him to take Lorraine to the dance.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"My good cheer is the result of a virtuous life. And Lorraine says hi, and wants to know when you're going to bring back her silver tea service."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker walks in, hears this, and laughs. A lot.

"Virtuous life, my... ahem. Good morning, Dr. Pierson."

She's brought coffee. As usual. She's inhaling the steam like an addict.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos snaps his fingers. "Bring that here. You know you're not allowed caffeine. So help me, if you end up back in the clinic this week possibly from Friday to Monday I'll break your leg." He then beams cheerfully at her.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Tell her when, and only when, she decides to give me back my heirloom china. [He mouths 'we need to talk' when Zero's back is turned.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Right. [He inclines head back towards his office.] Sorry, girls, we have faculty business to discuss.

[swerval_zero]

Darth who? Lorraine what?

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Classical reference.


(([borrows a line from Stephen King]))

[swerval_zero]

If you say so. *goes back to checking books back in, still looking a bit dubious*

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker does what is almost a full-body blink. "You've seen Back to the Future? You know *lines* from it?"

Parker shakes her head at the sad, sad, geeky professor she doesn't know.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

[*coughs*] Ten, I think you're messing with their universes again.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[completely innocent shrug, off-handed] Happens. Gotta teach them how to deal with the weird some way or another, might as well drop them in the ocean, see if they swim.

[swerval_zero]

*eyebrow* Oh, really.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

In a low voice, Parker asks, "Okay. Strange vibes. What did I miss?"

[swerval_zero]

Dr. Pierson's in an insane good mood without coffee an' he an' the Doctor have been grinnin' at each other like idiots. Janet an' I think the Crazy Squid Lady did it.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

_{"You think she got to both of them?"} Parker studies Dr. Pierson and the Doctor, her eyes moving back and forth between them. "Hmmmmm."

[janet_fraiser]

"Ooh, alien conspiracies?" asks Janet excitedly. "I love alien conspiracies. So I ask again: What's your theory?"


((Just back from lunch.))
