The Library - Jan. 11th

[theorangeook.livejournal.com]

Climbing down from his hammock early this morning, the Librarian opens the library for the morning and sits as best he can on a chair behind the circulation desk. He peeling a banana carefully with his feet while keeping a close, supicious eye on the library and, particularly, the books.

'M in studio art, yeah. Why're you going to visit your parents now?

"Because I was all old and from a different dimension on Christmas. Marty says the other me told them there was an emergency and I'd come home as soon as I could. Which is now." Angela looks a little anxious; she really doesn't like thinking about the whole experience, and just hopes someone had told Zero the story already.

[OOC: Family thing. Gone Friday-Sunday.]

"Oh." Zero has no idea what Angela's talking about, though this does make a few of the things the Library had been babbling about a bit more clear. Still, Angela looks like she doesn't want to talk about it, so she just shrugs and goes about her business.

Angela smiles wanly. "Yeah."

"How does the library like the new boss, anyhow?"

[swerval_zero]

"It's very...flaily. So I'm not sure, honestly."

[chasingangela]

"I totally understand flaily," Angela says, then goes back to reshelving some books.

After a pause, she adds. "Um, Zero? If we asked the library to, like, go easy on Marty on Saturday -- because he was totally just trying to help me and all -- do you think it would listen?"

[OOC: This is an IC request, not an OOC one.]

[swerval_zero]

Zero considers this while she shelves a few books. "I don't know. It might. I mean, it would listen for sure, since you're an aide and all, but I don't know if it would do it."

[chasingangela]

"Huh," Angela says. "I'll try that, before I leave tomorrow. Thanks."

[swerval_zero]

"Not a problem. You know that."

[chasingangela]

Angela smiles a genuine smile, though her eyes don't lose their worried look. "I do, yeah. The whole thing just scares me."

[swerval_zero]

"Me, too, really. But I've kinda...gotten used to it."
