Library (12/15/05)

Janet opens up the library after the ~~omg, posted late, noes!~~ Criminal Justice final. She flips on the lights, goes behind the Collections Desk, and starts silently cursing the stupid little gray aliens that sent her back to high school, finals, the whole concept of papers and the grading system in place in the United States today.

She scrawls out a sign on a piece of paper and posts it on the door:

PLEASE TURN IN YOUR OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS
BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM

(OR WE'LL SEND ZERO AFTER YOU
WITH HER MALLET)

Angela walks into the library and goes to work shelving returns.

She keeps one eye out for Dr. Pierson, hoping she can nab him for her newspaper project.

Marty drops by Angela on his way to study and gives her a quick kiss.

"Hey, I sorry I didn't catch up with you yesterday. I got your message, though."

"No problem. Angel kind of weirded me out at newspaper, so after I got your message I decided I should, like, actually pretend to work on my finals."

"Anything fun happen?"

"Well, I had to pull Angel off Faith and Belthazor before he got too happy. Then Veronica Mars slapped me twice. Oh! And then I got to beat Angel's head in with a cricket bat before he could get any further with Jack. You know... your average Wednesday night."

Angela blinks a few times, then opens and closes her mouth.

Then she says. "Um ... good to hear. I guess. I mean, that Angel didn't get too happy. Not that Veronica slapped you. Why did she do that, anyhow?"

"And is it just me, or has this week been exponentially weird, even without finals?"

"Um... she slapped me due to a misunderstanding. I thought she slept with Angel when she really didn't, so she thought I was implying that she was- nevermind. Yes. This week has been very weird."

Marty sighs and gives Angela a small grin.

"Can I tell you how much I'm looking forward to Friday?"

Angela laughs at this. "Poor Veronica. I think she gets the least actual action of anybody in the rumor mill as a slut." She thinks. "Possibly, like, no action. I feel sorry for her. So good for her for slapping you."

"And I am also looking forward to tomorrow, a lot."

"Yeah, well I apologized for it, but I guess I had it coming," Marty says with a weary look on his face.

"Now just out of curiousity, what exactly is the traditional three month anniversary gift? If one month is pasta, does that make the third month fish or beef?"

"Chicken, I think," Angela says. "Not really sure."

A perplexed expression crosses her face. "Speaking of chicken, did Camilla move out or something? I haven't seen her since before Thanksgiving."

"She's been avoiding me ever since she found out I eat eggs. Apparently it's a sore subject for her."

"Well, yeah. They're, like, potential chickens. Though I'm surprised she hasn't noticed the egg white thing before."

"She's only a muppet chicken so I'm guessing she's not quite as bright when it comes to these things." Marty leans up against the bookshelf and grins.

"So is there anything I should bring to this indoor picnic tomorrow?"

"You," Angela says, with a wicked grin. "I can cover the rest of it."

She thinks. "Actually? I think your ID is way better than mine. If you could, um, get some red wine I would really love you for it."

Marty returns the grin. ~~"What exactly are you planning to cover me with?"~~ "I think I can swing the wine, but only if you really mean with that love thing."

Angela kisses him in a way that is not entirely library-appropriate. "I mean it," she says.

Marty sighs contently and returns the kiss, making sure no one is watching them. "Good. I'll definitely bring a bottle then."

"I look forward to it," Angela says.

She steps back. "You seem happy, you know that? It's nice to see."

"It's easy enough when you're around. I'll let you get back to your job before Pierson says anything. I'll catch up with you later?"

[ooc but ic: *loves* Ang]

Having set up the faculty lounge ~~and possible tested a few of the kegs to make sure that they were of good enough quality to share with his fellow teachers~~, Methos enters the library. "Morning, Angela. How are finals going?"

"Too much work," Angela groans. "I still have a sestina and my profile for journalism to do. At least geology is over, right?"

"Also, I have to do one more thing for the newspaper. Which, um, I kind of might have volunteered you to help me with."

"See, Angela, you've become a perfect library assistant in no time flat. Volunteering me for projects? Exactly what the rest of them do." Methos grins at her. "What's the deal? I'd be happy to help. Okay, I'll help. I reserve the right to withhold judgement on whether I'm happy about it or not."

"It's not too evil," Angela promises "We're supposed to talk to people about holiday traditions, and I told Jake Gavin I'd talk to you and the Doctor about historic holiday traditions, or something like that. He suggested we do a, like, roundtable thing. Could you guys find time to do that tomorrow or Saturday? I'd buy you both coffee."

[OOC: IC, Angela has no idea anything is weird, alien or ancient about either of them. Prepare to blow her mind.]

"Saturday might be better, I think. But I'd love to, and I'm fairly sure I can get the Doctor there too. Let me know where you want us, okay?"

"Awesome. How about the Perk, Saturday afternoon? I should be free then."

[OOC: I'll start a post and drop a link in both of your voice mails.]
