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.

"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.)
