Saturday Afternoon, The Library (the library is closed)

[swerval_zero]

Zero unlocks the door and goes in to wait for Professor Calendar. She starts cataloguing while she waits, for something to do.

But Professor the Tick has a dragon--it used to be Kitty Pryde's, y'know, the student that died?--an' I can't imagine anyone wantin' to make gloves out of Lockheed!

*unlocks Special Collections* Now, like I said, we're not goin' far from the entrance, but if the lights go out, run. Fast.

*sticks a note to the door on her way in*

(If this is still here Monday, please rescue us. Zero H-S + Prof. Calendar.)

"I'd imagine that there might be more than one kind of dragon," says Jenny. "So we have a dragon at this school? Neat."

"Got it," says Jenny, nodding. She looks at the note, and then at Zero. "So I get the feeling you don't mess around with this place?"

[swerval_zero]

Yeah, it's generally a good idea t'take this place seriously.

I think Professor Pierson left the books in a box or somethin'...

[romanywitch]

"Libraries? Those I can take seriously," said Jenny.

"Did he label them for us? 'Cat books' or something like that?"

[swerval_zero]

I don' know, I--we sorta had a fight yesterday, so I didn' get a chance to talk to him about this. I just know they're around here somewhere--*stumbles* Ah. Thank you, Library. *lifts the box onto a nearby table* Here we go.

"Let's see what we got," said Jenny, setting her laptop case down. "We get wireless access in here?"

She pulled the books out one at a time and started spreading them around on the table. "He didn't have them in a stack, did he?"

[swerval_zero]

Um, electronics don' always behave right in here...you might have t'go outside to use the computer.

No, they were in a stack when he brought 'em in.

Jenny looked around. "Yeah, I'm thinking I don't want to stress test the magical firewall inside here. At least, not until I pick up a dedicated testing machine."

"Rupert never did it that way," muttered Jenny. "Sorry. Personal pet peeve. Okay," she said. "Pergamum Codex isn't going to do a thing. Those are prophecies. The Watcher's Codex is primarily a research book, I think. Hell's Offspring? What's a student doing with a copy of that?"

[swerval_zero]

That's what I wanted t'know. An' look, this one says it's the Necronomicon, which no one should be walkin' about with. But when I started lookin' through it, I don' think it is at all.

[romanywitch]

"Let's take a look at the Necronomicon first, then," said Jenny. She flipped it open to a random page.


OOC: What is it actually?

[swerval_zero]

Good idea. If it's a forgery, maybe we can figure out what it was forged from, an' that'll help us out. Right?

(ooc: At one point I was told Four Hundred Ways to Curse Your Lover, which would certainly explain the cat thing.)
