The Library Is Open (12/05/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocks the library and flips on the lights.

Sitting on the Collections Desk is a package addressed to "Adam Pierson." The envelope is embossed with an unusual symbol, the meaning of which Janet didn't know. Except she did, because she steamed open the last envelope that came with that symbol on it. But she couldn't do that to this package without getting caught. And that was really starting to bug her.

She moved the package behind the Collections Desk and glared at it until the first library patron showed up.

Zero comes in, head down, sunglasses on, and gets to work shelving without a word to anyone.

Parker sees her come in, and her face falls as she starts searching the internet for scholarly articles on Greek marble restoration. Just for something to do.

*Zero will not cry. She will not. She...oh, hell.*

(HEE!)

Parker hears Zero crying, and stops scrolling through the computer. Just sits there, looking like Esmerelda died, or worse.

Finally she can't take it any more. "Zero?"

_[*waves!*]

Get it together, Skanky.

*Before leaving the stacks, Zero does an amazing 180 from Tiny Upset Zero to Tiny Minutely-Less-Upset Zero* Yes?

"Janet said we have more to talk about." Parker looks like she wants to do anything but that. "And... you know I'm not mad at you, right? I just...."

[swerval_zero]

No, it's okay. I understand. It sucks.

"The very word." Parker hugged herself, looking down. "I told Rory. So she wouldn't say anything in my room, or go in there if she didn't have to." She closed her eyes, and shook her head, straightening. "Let's get this over with." (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/420819.html?thread=19695571#t19695571)

Angela glances over at Zero but decides her body language means she probably doesn't want to be bothered. I hope she's just not a Monday person, she thinks, uncomfortable.
