Library - 11/11

[swerval_zero]

The library is open. Zero is the only one manning it, so due to class constraints it may be found empty at some times. When she is there, she can be found reading up on contract law behind the Collections Desk.

Marty walks into the library and sees Zero sitting at the desk.

"Hey Zero. Just the girl I was looking for. You have a few minutes to talk? I have a project that I'm working on and I need your expertise."

[OOC: Assuming slowplay is okay with you?]

[swerval_zero]

Hey, Marty. What's the swoo? I'll help any way I can.

(ooc: Considering my day just went crazy, slowplay is perfect with me.)

Marty hops up on the counter and gets comfortable.

"I was talking with the dean the other week and he suggested that one of the things to do as Co-Security Officer is to put out some safety films on some of the dangers around here on campus. I'm thinking that the first topic should be about the gremlins around here, so naturally I thought of you. Interested in helping?"

[swerval_zero]

Of course! *drums fingers on desk thoughtfully* Hm, there are some dead ones at the clinic--but you already know about that. Janet an' I've started doing necropsies t'get their anatomy figured out, but the chemical analysis of the venom won't be back for a bit yet.

I wonder if we could get the security camera footage of what happened in the common room back at the start of school...

"I think I can get the footage through the Dean or Rover. Do you have any information about the gremlins themselves? How they live? Where they're from? etc.,etc. etc.?"

(OOC:Just out of curiousity... what would we use for images? Screencaps from the Gremlins movies?)

[swerval_zero]

They live down in the basement, an' they seem to have a tribeish mentality. Most of 'em are green, o'course. I suspect the others may have some sort of special significance.

(ooc: furbies?)

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Special significance? Like what?"

(OOC:Bwah!)

[swerval_zero]

'M not sure yet. Shamans, maybe. Or--an' we've only dissected four so far, so this is a small sample--all the green ones we've looked at are female. Perhaps the others are the males.

"Shamans? These things can do magic? Let me be the first to say 'Aw Crap!'"

[swerval_zero]

Don' be silly. Tribal shamans can't do magic, not real magic, anyway. Maybe...aristocracy, instead o' shamans, I don't know. I haven' exactly gotten close enough to study their society, y'know?

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Huh. I wonder if that would be something that we could attempt to do. You know. For science."

[swerval_zero]

We could. For the video. Get footage of them in their natural habitat, like.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Any idea how we can go about that? I'm assuming some magic would be involved."

[swerval_zero]

I know squallin' nothin' about magic, but I'd say yeah. Well, either that or full body armor and a whole lotta hope.

"Or maybe... you think Duo and Hamlet would let us put a disguise on Mr. Canute Mimir Fluffypants?"

[swerval_zero]

Hey, yeah! That might work! We could strap the camera to his head, like.
