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.]

"They're pretty nuts, but they bring tourist dollars to town so that's a good thing for folks like my friend's dad. He runs an alien themed diner. Silly but some of the best food in town. Well we aliens are hiding (in plain sight) since the goverment would like to dissect us.

"I'll have to meet up with her at some point. I wonder if she's going to be as surprised as I am? She had one hell of a shop class when she met my roommate." Isabel smiled. "I understand being nervous. I was when I walked into the welcome party. But everyone's done a great job of making me feel welcome."

[occ: Yeah, she goes through stages. Right now she's in this, I don't want to go to bed stage where she fusses, whines and cries until you bring her out to sit with you for a bit. Then after 10 minutes of togetherness she'll lay down and go to sleep. For awhile. Usually until she loses her lovey and can't find it in the blankets. I'm going to velcro that thing to her hand.

BTW, if I fade for a few? I'm in the midst of a big scene where Angel finds out Isabel's an alien. ]

"Sounds like your friend's dad runs kitsch heaven," said Janet. "Was there an area for souvenirs as well?" How had she missed a place like that when she'd been called to Area 51? Only the evil aliens. Or possibly if we'd found one already dead. Not everyone in the government automatically assumes alien = science experiment.

"Probably," said Janet. She smiled sympathetically. "But I'm sure she'll get used to it too. And I'm glad to hear you're feeling welcome. Just about everyone at this school has been great."

OOC: Oh, dear. What a fun stage. And fade for as long as you need. I may be going to sleep myself soon.

"It was. But they made great burgers. I helped out there for a single afternoon but I couldn't do it again. Something about the antennae he made us where was just a little to demeaning." She grinned, "There were no souveniers at the Crashdown, but my other friend's mom ran a gift shop with every tacky alien novelty ever."

She glanced at her watch. "I'd better get to class. First impressions and all that. It was good talking to you!"

Janet just laughed at the description of the antennae, held out Isabel's library card for her, and waved at her as she left.

OOC: Perfect! Oooh, fic! (And sleep.)

[occ: Forgot to use the appropriate icon!

It's an OT3 fic. But there's no smut. Lots of angst instead, but I do promise a happy ending. I was cruising along on it, for me anyway, doing about 1000 words a day. Then I got accepted. Oops....]

OOC: Oooh, but it's Who OT3. And yeah, the game is sort of a time suck. But fun.
