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.

Janet chimes in with Zero. "And do you have a library card?" she asks. "The teacher that went into Special Collections without a library card got turned into a newt."

"Or possibly eaten."

[janet_fraiser]

"Maybe he got turned into a newt and then eaten?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"That might work. I mean, the Library says he's still alive, but, some predators digest their prey slowly...."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"But it seems so wasteful to turn him into a newt and *then* eat him. Much smaller meal that way. Unless Special Collections is on a diet."

[janet_fraiser]

"Maybe the mass isn't converted, and so he was a really heavy newt?" asked Janet. "Or a really big one."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Maybe it just likes newts." Parker checks to see if they're freaking out the new guy yet.

Wesley stares at them disdainfully. "May I have an application, then?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Say 'please,'" says Janet.

"Among civilized people, 'May I' is understood to imply the optative mood. I suppose since you're American..."

"Please, may I have an application, Madam."

[janet_fraiser]

"Did I hear a derogative comment based on national origin?" asked Janet? "Or did you want to try again?"

His nostrils flare. "May. I. Have. An. Application. Please." bitch

"Madam?" Parker crosses her arms. "Optative, my ass. Among non-rigid un-supercilious people, a little teasing is taken as a test. Which you just failed. Egregiously."

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

"If this is a sample of their manners, I am delighted to count myself rigid and supercilious."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"He thinks we're kidding," Parker says with an exaggerated sigh. "Ah well. He'll learn."

[swerval_zero]

*sigh* They're so naive at first.

And yes, you may, if you ask very nicely.

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

Hates you all. A lot. But is too polite to say so. Unlike some people he could mention.

*simply gives Wes a sunny smile, as she is not only a librarian's minion but also the Library's Assistant*

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. Look at that. We made him subtext. Wah!

[swerval_zero]

Librarian's minions exceed the bounds of normal texting! Especially when they gang up!

[janet_fraiser]

Janet smiles serenely. She's seen far grouchier and survived with her disposition intact.

[swerval_zero]

Also, the Library could be lyin'.

[janet_fraiser]

"To us? We feed it chocolate and caffeine and sarcasm." She shrugged. "You never know with this place."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"True enough. It may have forgotten already. That was days ago. I suspect it doesn't keep track."

She gives Wes a smirk. "Do you want to get his application papers, or shall I?"

[swerval_zero]

An' it likes all those things, so it doesn' seem likely. Still, we can't ignore the possibility. *shrug* I mean, durin' the zombie invasion, it wouldn' let me look at the magic books in English.
