The Library is Open - 11/17

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos is bemusedly staring at his new pet, a salamander -- the kind that lives in fire. He managed to find a glass terranium that can withstand high heat and the salamander is happily ensconced in it. A sign in front of the terranium announces, "Name the Salamander!" and slips of paper, pens and a drop box are immediately to one side.

((Please only post names in comment thread for naming salamander.))

Wesley follows sheepishly with his volume and lays it next to the stack. "Knowledge can indeed be a weapon, but Miss Swerval didn't know a thing about that book."

"I wasn't speaking metaphorically about the knowledge within them. Yes, the knowledge might be a weapon, but some of the books we have are weapons in and of themselves." Methos sighs and shakes his head. "I don't claim to understand it, but there it is."

Wesley starts to give the librarian a dubious look, then thinks better of it and stares at the cat. "Is she some sort of enchantress?" He crouches and addresses Swerval. "Do you have any idea how to get yourself out of this mess?"

[[*cough* "Swerval" means "good" in Zero's odd lexicon. It's not her name. Heavens' knows I made the same mistake, though.]]

[[Bugger. We'll write it off to Wesley being clueless. Not me. Never me.]]

(ooc: And in your case, Zero assumed you'd heard her say it so often you'd made it her nickname. ;) )

(ooc-but-would-be-ic: Nickname? What is this nickname of which you speak? We're hardly even on first-name terms.)

(ooc: Which is why I replied to Methos, not you.)

He has a brainstorm. "One mew for yes, two mews for no."

"Um... who did this to you? No, no. Hmm. Which... no, that won't work either."

"If we put the books on the floor, can you wave at the one you touched before it all went pear-shaped? Or, er, moggy-shaped?"

*levels her gaze on him and enunciates very carefully* Mew. Mew. *Unfortunately, she had her hand on the side of the stack, so it really could have been any of about four books. Curiously, "Mew. Mew," in the intonation she used, translates as one of the stock phrases of Cat.*

//You suck and that is sad.//

What's that you say, Lassie? Little Timmy has gotten into the methamphetamine again?

Fortunately, no Slayer records that the Council is aware of were written in Feline, so the message passes blissfully and unintelligibly over Wesley's head.

"One of these, then?" He grabs the books and fans them on the floor.

Re: Paging Wesley Wyndham Pryce

Mew.

*considers adding, "Yes, because your stupid self has no regard for precautions or procedures," but realizes it is pointless as he won't understand her anyway.*

Re: Paging Wesley Wyndham Pryce

*should really be taking shameless advantage of your temporary inability to retaliate verbally*

*has claws?*

*cute little pink bendy kitten claws*

"Umm... did you eat or drink anything odd recently?" He turns to appeal to the Librarian and the Librarianettes. "Do we even know that she's still in there? For all we know she's saying 'I'm dying for some tuna'."

"We can get a translator. Unfortunately, the only one in the room who's actually *taken* Cat now *is* a cat." Parker is looking extremely miffed. "If we have to, we'll get Professor Dream to do so... but I hate to bother him." Her smile is not pleasant. "He hates being bothered for other people's mistakes."

Re: Paging Wesley Wyndham Pryce

[swerval_zero]

Mew mew!

*Is actually dying for some tuna, but that's not the point.*

(ooc: I must go to bed. If you can resolve this without me, go for it; otherwise I'll be back in the morning, 9ish PST or earlier.)

Parker is still glaring at him, and examining her manicure for pointiness.
