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.

Lee comes in to study and sees Janet. Pulling a little parcel of cookies out of his bag he comes to see her. "Hey Janet!"

Methos walks in and sees the cookies. "Oh, are those for me? Morning, Janet."

Parker came in yawning and looking subdued. She asat down behind the counter and ignored the cookies. "Fraiser. Dr. Pierson."

Wesley walks into the library and heads for the stacks, consulting a note.

"Hello. I'm here to work on the indepedent study." And he keeps heading for the stacks.

"Morning, Parker. How was your weekend?" Methos asks carefully.

Cameron enters the library, carrying a book, and looks around a bit wearily before he heads to the desk.

Parker bit her lip, considered, then said, "Fun up until I got some bad news. Interesting. I spent part of it floating half a foot off the ground." She looked wary but hopeful. "And yours?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Mitchell." Parker smiled slightly. "Welcome back to walking upright. How can I help you?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"Fine. I finally did find someone to beat up on Saturday. It was fun. I'm sorry you got bad news. Is there... is there anything I can do to help?"

{{Do not make me lick your icon.}}

"Uh, thanks... I think." He held up the book, Weapons in the Old Republic. "I came to return this..."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure. You don't want to renew it?" Parker asked, taking a look at the book. "Oh, hey. For Wynonna, right. Did you ever get her fixed?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker briefly looked intensely miserable, shaking her head and looking away. "Janet and Zero are helping," she said quietly. "It'll be fine. Thanks, though. And, uh." She looked up fast. "Are we okay?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"I hope so." Methos runs his hand over his hair, and sighs. "I'm sorry I yelled. I'm sorry... I think the term is 'flipped out'."

"Err... sure! You can have these..." and Lee pulls out another parcel of cookies.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm good. I made a copy from the relevant pages so I don't keep hogging up the book. And no, never mind that a gremlin completely scattered the pieces before I could stop it..." He makes a face remembering just how he did stop it and tries not to remember the taste. "I er... I'm sorry for the trouble I made when I was all... four legged."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos shakes his head. "No one gets irony at this school. Or am I thinking sarcasm? That's okay, I'm just yanking your chain."

Parker shrugged, and gave him a small smile. "We almost accused you to your face of abusing your girlfriend," she said. "Most guys *don't* handle that topic with suave calm. Even if it's not being made to be about them. I'm sorry we upset you. We couldn't think of anything else to do."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's face brightens a bit. "Don't worry about it. It was the most fun I had on Friday, it was a little fraught. Zero's okay with it, so, no big." Her lips twitched. "And if I make it to graduation without turning into something, I'll be surprised."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker *facepalms* at Lee, shaking her head.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee blinks. "No seriously, I have plenty of cookies, Professor."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"What?" Lee asks, confused.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Never mind," Parker said. "Just marveling at the Boy Scout that is you, Adama. How was your weekend?"
