Library is Open - 12/13/05

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos looks around his domain. In less than a month, it's going to be someone else's domain.

He's not quite sure how he feels about that.

*is completely unconvinced* Well. If you think it's for the best.

"Well, I offered to teach two sections of history *and* keep my position as librarian. Unfortunately, the administration decided that keeping my sanity intact was a GOOD idea that I couldn't do both."

[swerval_zero]

But you have five of us, now, to help you! Five!

[janet_fraiser]

"And he'd damn well better appreciate us," said Janet.

[swerval_zero]

*getting very worked up indeed, but trying and failing to calm down* Clearly not, if he's just leavin' us! Bloody...leaver!

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"I do! I do!" Methos says frantically. "I appreciate you a lot! And I didn't mean to leave! I just want to teach history!"

[swerval_zero]

*wibbles adorably* If that's what you want...

[janet_fraiser]

Janet barely reins in the urge to say 'as if living through it once already wasn't enough for you?'

"You are abandoning us, though," says Janet. "And this means you owe us big-time at Christmas."

Methos answers Zero, "I don't want to leave you!" Dear Gods, when did I become the slave of five teenage girls?

To Janet, he says, "I am *not* abandoning you, and don't think I didn't already know that I was on tap for huge presents at Christmas."

[janet_fraiser]

"You're throwing us a party, right?" asked Janet. "Just for the library staff? So we can exchange presents. We promise to spike the punch only a little bit. Also, you're coming in to visit next term."

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm throwing a party," Methos says, defeated. "We can throw it in Special Collections, if you like. And of *course* I'll be visiting next semester. You don't think I'm going to make my replacement's life easy, do you?"

[swerval_zero]

*clearly relieved to have a subject change* Yes, I was wonderin' when we were goin' to exchange presents. I'm flyin' out on the twenty-first, I don' know about the rest of you.

*Zero turns to Methos.* Do you even have an actual library card?

[janet_fraiser]

"Maybe tomorrow?" asked Janet. "I'm not leaving--wait. I think I am going away for a while. What does the word 'vacation' mean again? I don't remember what those are like. Of course, a certain somebody--" Janet glared in the direction of the Anthropology room. "--needs to tell me what the plans are first. This is the last time I tell him to surprise me."

"He doesn't," said Janet. "Or at least if he does, he applied for it and processed it himself, which is a really funny thought."

[swerval_zero]

Tomorrow works for me. I got most of my shoppin' done off-screen in Chicago.

*jabs a finger at Methos* You'd better not be another squallin' Chosen One!

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"Trust me," Methos says with heavy irony. "The very last thing I want to be is the One."

[swerval_zero]

*puzzled* What?

((Well, at least you finally distracted her.))

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos just shakes his head. "It's a really long story, and has to do with why I am fine after being shot Zombie Weekend."

[janet_fraiser]

"Can we not talk about zombies?" asks Janet irritably. "Let's talk about the party. Or how to torment the new librarian, if we decide we don't like him. Or her."

[swerval_zero]

Oh. I see. Well, no, I don't, but it's your business. I, er, did apologize for that, didn' I?

[janet_fraiser]

"I think you apologzied right after," said Janet. "And for a week after that."

[swerval_zero]

*face matches hair, what?*

Er. Yes.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet reaches into her backpack and offers Zero a chocolate bar. "Want some?"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet raises an eyebrow at him. He's not getting his head chopped off while she's around.
