The Library Is Open - 12/19

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos looks like he hasn't slept, and possibly has been hit by a 2 x 4 somewhere along the way.

He's working on translating the text that came for him several weeks ago, making notes in a spiral-bound notebook. If you were, say, Daniel Jackson, you might recognize the notes as sort of a bastard Medieval Latin, heavily abbreviated.

Did we mention the not-good-mood?

Angel looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping on them. Then he came over with a grin. "Got a Christmas present. Wanna see?"

[chasingangela]

Angela lowered her voice. "Sure, unless it's a gremlin. Which I bet it isn't, geven that you look happy and not insane."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I thought gremlin too," Angel agreed. He opened his coat enough for a puppy's head to pop out (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/329132.html?style=mine#cutid1). "See? Phale gave him to me."

[chasingangela]

"Puppy!" Angela squeals, then quickly resumes a library-appropriate volume. "Black labs are so, so cute."

"Have you named him yet? I mean, is it a he or a she?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"He," Angel said. He moved over so Angela could pet the puppy easily. Sean, for his part, licked Angela's hand. "His name is Sean."

((OMG PUPPY + ANGEL.))

[ooc: He may never brood again! Okay it's Angel so that'll never happen. But still, 24 hours of no brooding! At least!]

[chasingangela]

Angela crouches so she can look at the puppy more closely, than rubs it behind the ears. "Hey, Sean," she croons. "You're such a good baby, yes you are."

Realizing how she sounds, she quickly straightens and stands. "I bet he'll be Vladdie's best friend. You should show Rory when she gets here."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That's why I came," Angel smiled. "Not that it isn't nice to see you too. But I figured if Rory was around she could meet Sean." Angel beamed. "We could set up a play date."

[chasingangela]

"That would be, like, the cutest thing ever. Exponentially cute," Angela says, reaching down to scruff Sean's ears again. "I think she comes in here after her language classes, so you shouldn't have to wait too long, or anything."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Sean tried to wriggle his way out of Angel's jacket so he could pounce on Angela. Angel tried to keep him hidden.

"I think it'd be good for him to have friends," Angel said. "He needs peers."

[chasingangela]

Angela backs away, hoping being a little further from him will help calm the puppy, or at least keep her cat form completely freaking about the doggie scent.

"Peers are good," she says solemnly. "It's like what we were talking about last week, being alone is no fun."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well now I'm not," Angel smiled. "Got a puppy. You're - uh - welcome to come play with him if you want. He's pretty friendly." Sean swiped his tongue across Angel's face. "Which I guess you can see."

[janet_fraiser]

"Oh, how adorable," said Janet, reaching out to pet the dog.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey Janet," Angel smiled. He made motions of introduction. "Sean, Janet, Janet, Sean."

[janet_fraiser]

"Hi, Sean," said Janet, holding her hand out for Sean to sniff. "He's beautiful. You just got him today?"

"Oh, by the way, I have something for you." She pulled out a couple of wrapped packages and put them on the Collections Desk. "I was keeping an eye out for you last night, but I didn't see you."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I was in my room, doing gifts with a few folks and totally not flirting with Callisto," Angel said. He smiled at the packages. "Hey, thanks. I've got something for you too but it's upstairs. I would've brought it but - " he shrugged, indicating the handful that was the puppy in his jacket.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet eyed Sean warily. "You know, maybe I should drop these off at your room later. I have a gift for John too, and these are a little fragile."

She grinned at Angel. "Puppies are always a little too exuberant for the good of inanimate objects in their immediate vicinity."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well it's all so exciting for him," Angel said, grinning like a total doof. "He's never met, well, anything. Big day."

[janet_fraiser]

"Aw, you're darling, Sean," said Janet, scratching behind his ears. She grinned up at Angel, then looked back down at Sean. "Yes, slobber all over the library, why don't you? It's a good thing we keep antibacterial wipes around in plentiful quantity."

"Don't worry, he's not a problem," she told Angel. "Bring him in to visit any time. Or over to the room. Jack and Liz love dogs at least as much as I do."

"Holy crap," Parker said as she came in, staring. "It's huge. Tell me it's not a vampire puppy like Butterfly Brain. Please?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Regular puppy," Angel said. "Lab mix. Wanna pet him?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure." Parker leaned over and scratched behind the puppy's ears, grinning as it wriggled. "You are almost as cute as Cam-Wolf," she told him. "You look thrilled," she added to Angel. "Although when he's grown, your dorm room is going to seem awfully small."

[swerval_zero]

I find it hard to believe anyone else is crazy like that. Although Vladdie worked out pretty well, yeah?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but I'm reminded of why you got a *small* dog, and a puppy at that. The word 'hellbeast' comes to mind with that thing." Parker shook her head. "And yeah, Vladdie did work out. Not that you should do it again," she added hastily.
