Library (12/15/05)

[janet_fraiser]

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)

"You never had time to learn how to watch bad movies?" asked Janet. "Or act nuts? You do a good job of it, though."

Janet snickered. "Do you realize what it sounds like you're saying?" she asked. "I'm sure that's not what Daniel had in mind."

"So, note to self: Make Jack suffer." She shoved all the books further under the Collections Desk's shelf. She obviously wasn't going to get all of these checked in today. "Stop by the room tonight and we'll see if he's actually around. Besides, he and I have to have a little chat about an item in his possession."

"I think it's some kind of instinct," said Janet. She frowned and pulled out a notebook with some sketches and diagrams. "There's no way to know right now what triggers it. We'd need a live specimen to study." She glanced quickly at Sam, then put the notebook away in her backpack. There was--other stuff in there. Stuff that Sam probably wouldn't understand, but it was better not to risk it. "I'd been thinking about asking if you could design a live gremlin trap for a while now. Do you think you could? Zero and I would buy you coffee in thanks."

"As soon as I get it tested, we'll figure out a way to counteract their venom," said Janet. "But I need to mail a sample off to a friend first."

Janet looked curiously at Sam. She got touchy every time the subject of having kids came up, and based on her medical records-- Janet wasn't going to push it. She'd just do a lot more research on the side. A hell of a lot. "What design?" Janet stood up, grabbed her backpack, and came around to the front of the Collections Desk. "You're the one who wants lessons in mischief. Let's go."

OOC: Did you want Sam to be bullied into this by Janet? If not, she can certainly protest her way out of it. :)

"You were there, Janet. You saw." Sam rolled her eyes. "At what point did I sit still?"

"That's not nearly what I meant, and you know it, Doctor Fraiser," she rushed, blushing. "What's Jack got?"

"You're goinna study a live specimen? Is that...ethical?" She grabbed a piece of paper and began sketching out a rudimentary trap. "I'd have to refine it and make it to scale, but I'm sure I could come up with something. Maybe I'll ask Bridge to help."

"Would it be too dorky to have a 'gate schematic put there?"

Sam grabbed her messenger bag and followed Janet. "I guess we're going."

OOC: That's fine.
