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.

Wesley draws himself up to his full height. "The professors at this institution have been handling rare and arcane scholarly materials since..." He trails off, having realized that he's not actually supposed to talk about this "--er, for a very long time."

He pulls a letter from the breast pocket of his blazer. It is handwritten in a neat copperplate hand.

Mr. Wesley Wyndham-Pryce is studying ancient texts under the tutelage of Unseen University Miskatonic University Professor Arthur Pendragon, M. Phil, D. Phil (Oxford). Please grant him all research privileges necessary to completing the course.

Methos reads the letter, and, because he's in an unusually good mood, winces in sympathy as he hands it back. "I'm terribly sorry, but the rules stipulate that you must have a specific note for each instance of entry to Special Collections, deliniating exactly what you intend to study each time. I'm very sorry. Perhaps you could have a faculty member sponsor your correspondance course, so that they could be responsible for letting you run amuck in knowledge that is dangerous for anyone to have for issuing you passes into Special Collections?"

[Nah, I expect you to enforce the rules; that is what they are for. I just figured I'd naturally ask at the library first.]

[And I never run amuck. I walk, assertively and assuredly.]

Can you suggest a suitable professor? I hardly think Prof. Beeblebrox, for instance, is qualified.

Parker can't help but smother a laugh at this.

"Ah..." Methos considers.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

[ooc: That would be enormous fun. I'd be delighted.]

[Define 'convincingly'. Heh.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Ah.... [Methos considers.] Actually, it would probably be just easiest for me to sponsor you. But unfortunately, before I can authorise your access to Special Collections, I'd like to get an overview of your study plan. Can you bring that to me?

AFTER FILLING OUT APPLICATION

If he ever GETS an application, which frankly I am beginning to doubt

"Very well. When shall I come back?"

[I'm assuming I'll come back sometime tomorrow by appointment?] and probably in disguise to avoid your... er... cohorts
