The Library (12/02/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet opens up the library and starts working.

ETA: The library is now CLOSED (as of 5:30 p.m FST). If you are not Janet, Methos, Parker, Zero, Angela, or Ten, you should not be posting in the library. Thank you!

Methos storms out of his office, looking for someone to beat up. Luckily, he has someone in mind.

[Ten nods back at Parker, who looks scary, and then sees Methos, who looks even more scary, a la murderous rage type, and walks quickly after him.] Adam...

Not. Now.

[Ten catches up with him, walking backwards so that he can look him in the eye.] Remember our conversation the other day? The part where I said 'don't do anything stupid?'

DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.

[Between gritted teeth:] I *wasn't* going to do anything stupid. If for no other reason than riding off to "avenge" -- hah -- CJ at this point does nothing other than rip even more control out of her hands. I just really, really want to beat up on someone right now.

[Ten stops in front of him, blocking his way.] Adam. Bloody listen to yourself. Stop it.

"I'm closing the damned library," snapped Janet. "Have fun."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet rolled her eyes--again--stood up, and said, "What the hell are you people all talking about? And keep it the hell down, it's a goddamn library!"

[janet_fraiser]

"I'm closing the fucking library," spits Janet. "And then you can all have your goddamn argument in peace. And privacy."

Wesley watches the confrontation in fascinated horror, frozen in place, hoping devoutly not to become in any way involved.

[janet_fraiser]

"You," snaps Janet, pointing at Wesley, then the exit. "Out of here. Now."

He outs, considerably faster than is compatible with dignity. He'd hate to be caught between any two of the Library set; a battle between the lot of them is closer to Armageddon than he really cares to get.

They think I'm the one who hurt CJ. I can't be here right now.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten looks aghast and turns towards Zero and Parker. In fact, he looks like he's considering throwing up at the very idea of it.] What?! No.

"We know that now." Parker looks around, and jerks her head back toward the office. "If we're going to discuss this, how about we do so in private?" She keeps her voice quiet, but her arms are still folded, and her face is grim.

*Through her teeth.*

No. We do not. We jumped to a conclusion, and were set the squall straight.

[The Doctor looks at Methos, then looks at Parker and Zero, then looks at Methos again. His expression can best be described as confused and pained.]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

[Methos pushes his hands through his hair.] Sorry, sorry, SORRY. They thought I hurt CJ. Past tense. And I need to go find Mac and either kick his ass or have him kick mine. Because I don't want to be here right now.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten closes his eyes and winces.] Okay.

[swerval_zero]

*Still through gritted teeth.*

We apologize. Again. We are teenagers. We are impulsive and occasionally stupid. And we were concerned.

*Lifts her head and speaks in a formal tone, fighting down her instinct, which is to yell. A lot.*

We are still concerned, but this is your own business and I'm sure you are handling it squallin' properly.
