Library (12/20/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet ran towards the library. She'd overslept, and it looked like no one else had gotten it open yet. She flipped on the lights, unloaded the food from last night's shopping trip with Parker, made sure that no one but library staff could get to the food, and sat down to start eating while she finished up her Classics project.

"There was no girl," Xander replied immediately. "There was only Zul a Good Book. Which I did not recognise, but it seemed really friendly. Until she it led us into a dark room and disappeared into a mirror."

"Uh huh. Right. And neither of you is hurt?" Rory asked. "Where's Logan? I can hear him in the background - but how come you're on his phone? Not that it's not a delight as always to talk to you, but you know what I mean."

Re: In the stacks

"His phone fell; you answered, I got to it first." Xander looked over at Logan. "You want to talk to Rory?"

Re: In the stacks

Logan shook his head. "I think we've got it under control." A quill flew by and lodged itself in Logan's hair. He plucked it out distastefully. "A little help wouldn't be unwelcome, though."

Xander spoke into the phone. "Logan says we've got it under control, which is quite possibly the boldest lie the world has heard since 'Gee, God, you mean there's an apple missing from that tree? Who would do a thing like that?' He also says some help would not be unwelcome, which is more in the way of an understatement."

The eyeroll evident in her voice, Rory said, "Yeah, I'll try to get Zero to come with me. She has a contract with the library, it helps her out, et cetera, et cetera. Tell Logan I said not to do anything stupid. Stay where you are, okay? Easier for us to find you, and all of that. I have no idea how you got a signal, but I can't promise I'll be able to reach you once we're in there looking for you."

Xander held the phone away from his mouth. "Rory says we should try to not be ourselves while we wait for them to rescue us."

Re: In the stacks

[fh_jackass]

Logan frowned at Xander. "Who are we supposed to be, then?"

Re: In the stacks

[soldtoarmenians]

"Smart people?"

Re: In the stacks

[fh_jackass]

Logan rolled his eyes. "Gimme that," he said, snatching the phone from Xander. "Rory?"

Re: In the stacks

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi. Are you okay?" Rory asked.

Re: In the stacks

[fh_jackass]

"Fine. Wanna get us out of here?"

Re: In the stacks

"I'm doing what I can," Rory said, sounding exasperated. "I have to get someone who knows Special Collections better than me, and that probably means Zero. Look, just stay put and don't do anything to aggravate the situation, okay? Please?"

Re: In the stacks

[fh_jackass]

"Can't really go anywhere," Logan grumbled.

Re: In the stacks

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's good. Please, though - don't do anything to put yourselves in danger? Please? Xander said there was a dragon and stuff, and I've been in there. Just stay where you are, don't poke anything that looks like it might bite, and just - just stay safe, okay?"

Rory's voice might have been shaking a little bit, though she'd blame that fact on the phone jostling as she moved through the dorms looking for Zero.

"Sure, whatever," Logan sighed.

Re: In the stacks

Rory rolled her eyes. "Right. Be there in a few," she said, snapping the phone shut and knocking on the door of room 220.

"Zero? Boys are dumb and I need your help."

Re: In the stacks

[swerval_zero]

Zero looks up from packing. "In general, or are we talking about specific boys?"

Re: In the stacks

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"In general, but Logan and Xander specifically right now. They're stuck in special collections," Rory sighed.

Re: In the stacks

[swerval_zero]

Zero immediately abandons what she's doing and grabs her Special Collections Survival Kit backpack and the mallet. "Right. Off to do violence an' save Logan an' Xander. Who's coming wif?"

Re: In the stacks

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, do you think we should try to grab the other aides? I don't know if we have time. Xander mentioned a dragon," Rory frowned. "I'm coming, though."

Re: In the stacks

[swerval_zero]

A dragon? Dragging hounders, we might not have time. Come on!
