The Library Is Open (11/29/05)

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

The Library Salamander has decided his name is "Dante". This was decided by incinerating all the other options.

The librarian is working on paperwork today. Annoy at own risk.

"No, not at all," Angel shifted his books aside to make room. "Hey, um, you're friends with John, right? Crichton? We were planning a thing tonight, if you wanted to go."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Elizabeth replied with a smile. "Yeah, he's next door to me. What's happening?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"We were going to go to Caritas," Angel said. "Celebrate my official room change. I'm next door to you now too."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I'll try and see if I can make it," Elizabeth promised. "How did you end up sharing with John?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Luck," Angel admitted. "He was nice enough to, well, take me in. Then he was nice enough to offer to make it official when I didn't want to go back to my old room."

Elizabeth nodded. "John's a good guy," she said. "The second floor can be pretty insane at the best of times, but it'll mean that you'll never be bored." She laughed.

"This morning it meant that I woke up to a talking toaster."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth just looked at him and blinked.

"I'm sorry, did you say a talking toaster?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel nodded. "That rhymed."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I... uh... okay. That's, well, new."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Threw me too," Angel admitted. "Especially the insults."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"It was an insulting talking toaster?" Elizabeth asked, giggling slightly. "Did you get it to shut up in the end?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It stopped talking after awhile but..." Angel narrowed his eyes suspiciously "I think it's plotting something. Now it's too quiet."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yes," Elizabeth said. "Something I know all too well. Well, not the talking toaster part, but the quietly plotting."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You'd think I would too. But it's the toaster part that throws off my ability to guess what it might be doing."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I imagine it would do," Elizabeth agreed, nodding. She doesn't think about the fact that they're discussing a potentially evil, talking toaster.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Plus maybe I'm just biased. Maybe it's a nice talking toaster that doesn't know how to express itself."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth's lips twitched and she smiled. "Maybe it is. I guess you'll have to have more conversations with it!"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"John and I were thinking of bringing it to the club tonight. Only we're not sure if it sings."

[ooc: going out for dinner, back in a bit]

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She giggled. "It might be worth it just to see if it does," she said.

[[ooc: No problem. Should possibly find some food myself too]]

"Supposedly the guy there - the green guy? - can read your future if you sing," Angel said. "Not sure what a talking toaster's future would be. Broadway, maybe."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"It could star in the musical adaption of Brave Little Toaster?" Elizabeth suggested with a grin.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel laughed. "Think the mike would get feedback all the time? Since it's made of metal?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure one of the resident technical genuises would be able to figure something out," she grinned.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I think it was one of those resident genuises that made it talk in the first place," Angel said. "Though that does make me wonder if the rude rhymes were their idea, of if the toaster had it inside the whole time, just waiting to come out."
