Library, 1/09

[chasingangela]

Angela isn't sure whether she's more frightened by the fact this is her first time opening the library, by the new students, or by the Librarian.

Her stomach is a mass of butterflies as she turns on the lights and takes a place behind the checkout desk, braced for the onslaught.

[OOC Note: You do need a card to use the library. Might as well take care of it today. OCD threads are here.]

Marty looks at the Orangutan with a look of fear. "Oh boy."

Re: Other library business

The Librarian storms over to Marty, as best a creature not capable of consistant bipedal motion can, and points directly at him, waving the index card in his other hand.

"OOOK!"

He then points to Special Collections and crosses his arms, glaring accusingly.

"Ooook?"

Judging from that final ook, it might be in Marty's best interest to explain himself. And quickly.

Re: Other library business

Marty gets the idea pretty quickly.

"I can explain... really!"

Marty points at Angela, "She had gone into special collections without any gloved protection and accidentally touched a book turning her... well turning her into a different verson of herself. So in order to help her I... uh... went into special collections and got that book to change her back."

*coughs*

"And I got turned into a dog."

"He's telling the truth," Angela says fiercely. "I mean, whatever, he broke the rules. But it got me back."

The Orangutan grins ambiguously, which, given that he is a full-grown male orangutan who has just had a very long night, is a very disturbing sight indeed.

"Oook oook oook."

He sounds vaguely unimpressed. He looks around at Angela, raising a rather dishelved brow in a distinctly Ape-Like way.

"Oook?"

((OOC: Is there a day this week/weekend that is good for you (Marty) to play out consequences?))

Marty tries to plead his case. "Look, no one else was even trying to do anything for her... She was stuck... I don't know where. The library was closed."

He looks at Angela.

"I didn't have another choice."

((OOC: I'm free this weekend during the day.))

Angela gives Marty a look that is incredibly full of sympathy and reaches out to squeeze his hand, then turns to the Librarian. "Sir? Could he make it up to you, somehow? Please?"

Marty does his best to look pitiful.

Really he is kind of pitiful, but we don't need to go into that here.

Marty sees the look on Parker's face and snaps at her. "Oh like you did anything!"

Imitates Parker: "What's that? Friend of mine in trouble? Gosh I better fly off to the bahamas to be with my daddy!"

"Some friend you are," Marty mutters.

Re: Other library business

Parker folds her arms and grimaces. Marty's not entirely wrong, after all. Then she shrugs. "Did I say anything? I didn't say anything." She looks at Angela. "Sorry I couldn't be more help, Angela."

Re: Other library business

The Librarian looks at Angela and then at Marty, considering this carefully.

"Oook."

If possible, it seems the Librarian just sighed. It is possible, however unlikely, that the orangutan has a heart. He certainly did not, however, squeeze Angela's hand comfortingly. Must have been the imagination.

He then shuffles around the desk, removing a calendar. He taps a large, orange finger on the upcoming Saturday.

"Oook. Oook oook."

He then points at the clock, inidcating that Marty had better be on time.

"Oook!"

Re: Other library business

Marty looks at the calender and then the Librarian.

"Saturday? Here?"

*gulps*

"I'm not going in *there* am I?" Marty asks nodding to Special Collections.

Re: Other library business

[theorangeook.livejournal.com]

The Librarian just grins, baring his teeth.

Re: Other library business

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty shivers for a second.

"Great. Saturday. I'll be here."

Marty's tone is anything but excited.

Re: Other library business

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty feels slightly vindicated and guilty at snapping at Parker at the same time.

Not too much though.

Re: Other library business

[chasingangela]

Angela shakes her heads, looking warily from Marty to the Librarian to Parker. "You had plans, nobody knew what to do -- I can't hold it against anyone. It was just my stupid luck that it wasn't one of those Gremlin things that wears off in 12 hours."

Re: Other library business

"Wish it had been." Parker shrugs, kind of amazed that the Librarian communicates so well when he's not speaking anything like English.

And she is not rolling her eyes at Marty. Not where he can see it anyway.
