The Library - Sunday

[theorangeook.livejournal.com]

The Librarian has returned from whereever he has been. After hanging a hammock and a small bunch of bananas from the ceiling of the library, he begins shuffling through the books, checking them carefully.

Something is definately amiss.

"Oook."

If possible for a large male orangutan, he seems to be acting very methodical.

Tour for Lyta

[chasingangela]

Angela takes a moment to recover after their conversation with the Librarian finishes, then returns to the tour

"Okay. So. Those are the books, which usually are in order. The checkout desk is over there," she says, walking as she talks. "There's usually an aide or two, or all five of us when we get bored, behind it. Return books there. The tables are for studying or flirting, whatever."

"And Special Collections is through those double doors. Don't go in without a note for a teacher. Actually, don't go in at all, if you can help it."

She seems very emphatic on the last point.

"Special Collections?" She watches the door as they continue past it, then nods, taking Angela's comment and filing it away. She wondered what books could be so terrible she should have to avoid them.

Angela sighs. "It's one of many very strange things about this place. The books in there are --" she flails for words. "Enchanted, I guess. They do things if you touch them without gloves, and sometimes just for the heck of it. I wen tin their twice. Once I ended up at the edge of a library in another realm, according to Parker. The other time -- I warn you this is going to sound crazy -- I touched the wrong book, and a me from another dimension got plopped down. Took about a week to figure out how to get me me back. And it turned my boyfriend into a dog while he was trying to figure it out."

She pushes back a piece of hair. "So I plan to avoid it if I can this term."

Lyta smirks. Oh yes, she had seen some equally disturbing things, though they weren't usually the result of enchantments or magic; they usually involved Zathras or the Great Machine. She understood why Angela might want to avoid it. "I think I'll join you."

It wasn't going to be hard to be normal -- at least in comparison to her surroundings.

"Wise choice," Angela says, relieved that Lyta doesn't seem to be the "Danger? Yay!" type unlike certain former hit men she could name. She isn't a coward, but she doesn't see the point of going after trouble. In this school, it will find you anyhow.

"Anyhow, that's the library, and I'm not sure any of the other classrooms are unlocked yet. Want to go get that coffee?"

"That sounds wonderful." Lyta smiles, remembering the taste of the espresso drink. "And maybe you could recommend some good food...I'm not familiar with the menus."

"Food is kind of a problem," Angela says with a shrug. "The Perk has muffins and sandwiches and stuff, and there are two decent diners and a Chinese place. But on campus? Your best bet is to just keep stuff in your room. The Chef is kind of scary. He's, um ... do you know what a Muppet is?"

"Come on to the Perk and I'll fill you in."

A muppet?, she thinks. Frowning, she shakes her head and follows Angela out of the library. As the doors close, she can be heard responding, "No, I don't think I do..."
