fandomhigh | The Library Is Open (11-28-05)

"Fraiser. Dr. Pierson. How was your Thanksgiving?" Parker fishes two CD's out of her knapsack, and hands them to them. "Copies of Zero's band's demo CD. Can I put it on the speakers? I won't have it loud enough to disturb anyone."

Marty comes over after talkin with Janet.

"Zero's Band? I'd love to hear them."

Parker grins. "They're really good. Punk's not my favorite thing, but here, listen--" She fires up the CD-ROM, and the following comes out of the computer's speakers.

Hidin' from zombies; floatin' on chairs
Shot the librarian and no one cares--
Doesn't matter anyway!

Meow, meow,
Is what he said
Meow, meow
In my head
But I'm okay
'Cause we're so catty anyway...

Zero's voice is upbeat and growly at the same time, and the guitar work is fast and technically impressive.

Methos shuts it off. "Parker. This is a library. Be good or I won't give you your present."

"Present?" She was going to object that it wasn't loud, but then he said the magic word. "No problem, it's off, I'll be good, what'd you bring me?" She smiles gleefully. "I didn't think you'd remember. I was mostly joking when I said 'souvenirs' anyway."

"All right, all right. Presents back in my office (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/392319.html?thread=18440831#t18440831)."

We could turn it down? *tosses down a backpack and pulls out a Sharpie* Do you want your copy of the CD autographed, Professor?

And hey! How come Parker gets presents?

"Hey Zero! That's a pretty cool band you got there. How much for a copy?"

Thanks, Marty! We made the CD in the studio in my parents' basement. They're free!

"Cool!" Marty says as he picks up a copy. "Can I get an autographed version?"

Sure! You want anything specific? *uncaps her sharpie and looks gleeful*

Methos sighs in long-suffering pain. "I don't care how quiet it is. This is a library. You know. Shhhhhhh. No talking allowed. At the very least, I can keep it a punk-music-free zone."

He then grins at her. "I'd be delighted to have an autographed copy. And who said Parker was the only one getting presents?"

An' if I said the library likes the music?

*happy squeak* You want me t'write anythin' specific?

Parker is now tapping her toes, looking impatient. "All right. The punk rock's off. So... presents? For me? And Zero? And I hope Janet, because leaving her out would be rude."

"And hazardous to his health," added Janet.

"How about, 'I shot the Librarian, but I did not shoot Dean Bristow'?"

*grins and scribbles this on the liner notes, followed by '♥ SZ H-S, minion'

Now. About those presents.

"Very nice," said Janet. "Thanks for bringing me a copy!"

"No problem. Next time, you guys have to be there. They put on a great show. Although I hope we don't have to go all the way to Flange City for it."

I don' know if I can talk them into comin' all the way out here, though.

"Hunh. There's not really a good place for them to play," Parker said, trying to visualize Dusted Bunnies at Spike's Pub, or Caritas. "Still, I'd like to see them again, when you guys have a job lined up. And it would be more fun with other people there."

I was plannin' to put up flyers this time, since the island decided to make it so easy to get there or whatever, but, y'know. Cat.

"That always messes up your plans." Parker shook her head sympathetically, but still grinning.

Parker chortles. "This is true. Think we could talk the administration into booking them for our next dance?"
