Library (12/14/05)

[janet_fraiser]

After Classics--and a quick trip to visit Daniel--Janet opened up the library, dropped her backpack in a corner, and started finding excuses not to work.

Angel came by the library. When he saw Janet he beamed a huge smile.

"Janet!" he said, possibly too loudly for library etiquette. "Great to see you!"

[janet_fraiser]

"Hey, Angel," said Janet. "How's it going?" He seemed unusually cheerful this morning. And loud, but she wasn't going to say anything. She was still annoyed with Methos for leaving the library.

Callisto wandered in after Art, and headed straight for the 700's section, waving at Janet as she passed her.

"It is going wonderfully," Angel came over to the desk. He folded his arms on it and beamed at her. "All thanks to you."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waved and wondered where Callisto was going in such a rush.

[janet_fraiser]

"Are you still on a sugar rush the gumdrops?" asked Janet. Could vampires even get sugar rushes? "Though I'm glad to hear you're having a good day."

Anyone standing close enough would have heard Callisto muttering various imprecations against art teachers who got themselves shot into space without having the common decency to send their TAs copies of the class's grades.

Rory wandered in after seeing the majority and possibly all but journalism isn't up yet and I'm not going to Joss myself again of her classes her cancelled, and took her seat behind the desk.

She wasn't particularly attentive to the library or its inhabitants. She seemed to focus mainly on staring off into space.

And if her eyes were a little red? Probably just the light.

Marty sits down at a computer terminal and starts researching recent jewelry thefts in the Chicago area.

"I am," Angel confirmed. "Couldn't be better. Not even the math final could get me down. That's got to be thanks to you."

He leaned forward on the desk, smiling right at Janet. "Clearly I owe you something for that."

Spotting Marty, Angel came over to sit beside him.

"Marty! Haven't seen you since last night! How's it going?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty looked up somewhat confused at Angel's cheeful icon demeanor.

"Uh... Hi. Things are going pretty well how about yourself? Did you get enough cheesy 70's superwomen rhetoric last night?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Math's a tricky subject," said Janet. "And believe it or not, numbers frighten a lot of people."

She grinned. "I think I mentioned coffee last night. I was up fairly late thanks to the adventures of Bitterwoman. I really need to pick those up on DVD."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Coffee?" Angel pretended to think about it. "I could do coffee. Do you want me to sneak some in here or do you want to get some with me later tonight?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That was fun," Angel said using the icon again just to freak Marty out. "We should do that again sometime. We don't bond enough, Marty. I feel like we're missing out on valuable experiences."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet snickered. "What makes you think we sneak the coffee in?" She held up a travel mug. "The library assistants tend to blithely ignore that rule about no food and drink in the library. So possibly you should buy me a mocha later."

He couldn't possibly be asking her out. For one thing, she had a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and wasn't that confusing, and for another, didn't he have to be celibate due to that cleverly-worded euphemism in his curse?

If anyone had been standing near where Janet was shelving books--possibly right around the 700 section--they might have heard Janet start griping about idiot librarians who decide they'd rather teach history instead.

"I could be tempted to buy you a mocha later," Angel said. "I could even be tempted to buy you dinner. I'm prepared to go to great lengths to thank the woman who saved me from the horrors of mathematics."

With no classes until creative writing, Angela can spend most of the day at the library.

She takes a few volumes of poetry from the shelves and seems to be looking for ideas for her sestina.

Angela's face grows concerned as she notices how Rory is acting. "More spacewhisky?," she asks, trying to keep it light.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

If Janet did happen to be close enough for Callisto to hear her griping, then she definitely should have been close enough to hear Callisto suggest beating some sense into the librarian with an extremely large and heavy book, like the one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0714829846/ref=ed_oe_h/103-3748396-7303839?%5Fencoding=UTF8) Callisto was currently holding perhaps?

Rory shook her head. "Logan and I broke up," she said quietly.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos enters and makes a face at Angel. "Can we use our 'inside voices'? Or possibly our 'not bellowing a battle-cry at the top of our lungs' voices?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel made an elaborate, yet sincere, face of apology. "Sorry! Um, Sorry!"

[janet_fraiser]

"I keep telling everyone that math isn't all that horrible. No one believes me except Sam, who's possibly the only student in school geekier than I am." Janet laughed and shook her head. "No need for dinner. Just knock on my door later tonight and you can buy me that mocha."
