The Library is Open - 01/23

Rory sleepily made her way into the library, coffee in hand, and took her seat behind the desk.

Sure, "happy" or "awake" wouldn't be very apt descriptions today. But really, did that matter?

After stopping in the Speech class to investigate the teenager teaching the class, Fraser makes his first stop in the library.

He takes off his hat and tucks it under his arm. "Good afternoon."

Rory looked up from Emma and dropped the cookie she was holding.

"Um. Hi," she said, staring. "Can I, um, help you?"

"I hope so." He smiles, approaching the desk. "I'm Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and new head of school security. With the library being closed over the weekend, I didn't get a chance to see it. How are you today?"

"You're a Mountie?" Rory asked curiously. "I mean, duh, of course you are, you just said so and, hi, look how you're dressed." She blushed. "I'm fine, um, Mr. Fraser. I'm Rory Gilmore, by the way. Nice to meet you."

Re: 3rd Period

"Pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Gilmore," Fraser says, smiling. "Are you the librarian?"

Re: 3rd Period

Rory gave a little laugh.

She sounded a bit idiotic.

Oops.

"Um, no. I'm just an aide. But I can help you with anything you might need."

Re: 3rd Period

Fraser smiles turns into a small laugh and he puts his hat on the counter in front of her.

"You're a library aide and a student? That's quite a full schedule. You must have excellent time management skills."

Angela comes back from some reshelving and notices the mountie. She overhears him tell Rory that he's the new head of school security.

All kinds of new people lately, she thinks, before smiling and involuntarily running a hand through her hair.

"I'm a library aide too," she pipes up. "My name is Angela Chase."

Parker shoots her a look and says, "Hiiii, Constable Fraser. Good to see you again."

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, Miss Parker." Fraser smiles at her. "Not spending time at the gun range today?"

Re: 3rd Period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sadly, no. Mondays and Wednesdays I'm mostly in the library. Did you need a library card? Or help finding anything? Our system isn't computerized, so we could find something in the card catalog for you." Parker's smile is completely innocent, even if she's doing the Flirtatious Head-Tilt (TM Veronica) for all she's worth.

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"I did apply for a library card with Miss Gilmore but I would accept assistance in locating some books," Fraser says. "Do you have a folkore or a mythology section?"

Re: 3rd Period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"We do indeed," Parker said, her smile widening. She flicked through the cards at the desk for a moment, then said, "390, Customs, Etiquette and Folklore, and 398, Folklore; and 753, Symbolism, allegory, mythology, legend. I could show you where those are?" She offered hopefully, hopping off her perch. "Are you looking for any type of mythology in particular?"

Re: 3rd Period

Angela shoots a mock-confused look back, then morphs to her most innocent expression.

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Miss Chase, pleasure to meet you." Fraser nods and smiles at her. "Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and new head of school security. You're an aid as well? How do you find time for school work, if I might ask? That's a lot of responsbility."

Re: 3rd Period

[chasingangela]

"There are five of us, plus the librarian," Angela explains with a shrug. "We're all pretty good at covering for each other. And I can do my homework when things are quiet."

"I only started in November, though. So I'm still kind of figuring things out."

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"I only started last Friday so I'm still figuring things out as well," Fraser says, nodding. "We can be new and clueless together."

Re: 3rd Period

[chasingangela]

"Sounds like a plan," Angela grins. "Let me know if you need help finding stuff. Or whatever."

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Fraser smiles. "All of you are extremely helpful. I do thank you kindly. You might find me a frequent visitor in here during my down time."

Zero stares at the mountie.

"I'm a library aide, too. Or, I'm the library assistant. It's complicated. Hi. I'm Zero."

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon." Since he already has his hat off, Fraser nods politely. "Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and new head of school security. You're...Zero? That's quite an unusual name. Might I ask its origins?"

Re: 3rd Period

[swerval_zero]

"Skank Zero, actually, but my friends call me Zero. My parents are punks, and hippies name their kids Sunshine and Dawn Shadow and things like that, so...why not, y'know?"

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"It's an interesting name," Fraser replies, smiling again. "I bet you're unforgettable."

Re: 3rd Period

[swerval_zero]

"I do try." Zero grinned at him, and tried to remember if any of her family members had warrants pending in Canada.

Re: 3rd Period

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You've already made an impression," Fraser nods. "I couldn't possibly forget anyone with a name like Zero. I'm still getting settled but here's my personal number in case something comes up that you think you might need asisstance for."

Fraser scribbles his number again and hands it to Zero. "Feel free to call at anytime."
