Library, 1/24

Angela is seated behind the collections desk, flipping through a volume of poetry as she nibbles on some trail mix.

She is available for all your library aide needs.

"Crazy. It's like whoever's doing this knows exactly how to push your buttons." She frowns. "Hey, do you think Jarod could have done this? I mean, Rover's gone, I bet non-students could get on campus if they were sneaky enough."

Parker stared at Angela, then shook her head. "He wouldn't dare. He *knows* how much I'd kill him if he tried this." Mostly. She was pretty sure. Besides, she asked for help, and he said he would. Except... "Okay, he might have, this is the kind of thing he used to pull when we were in Blue Cove, but he was in *shock* over that stupid song last night. So no. Besides, he's not here to see this," she gestured to herself, "so it has to be someone who can at least verify that I'm looking like I shopped at K-Mart today. Grrr."

"Unless he has access to the security feeds nd is seeing what you're wearing that way. Or he's a good actor. Or it's more than one person, and he honestly doesn't know everything," Angela says, then lets it go.

"Maybe I just don't want to admit Marty could do something this pathetic. And mean."

Parker ground her teeth. "Very mean. And if he's in on it? He's gonna suffer, Angela. I won't kill him. Or even break any bones. On campus, anyway." She slumped in her seat, for once looking her age. "It's just so damn frustrating. I could get Broots to look up stuff, I could ask I-Club for magic help, but they already said not to do that! And if it's Marty or Jarod, or even just someone else who knows me, they probably won't hurt Esme. But I bet they might keep her indefinitely, or adopt her out!"

"If he did it, I would hold him down for whatever you wanted to do," she says, and is serious enough that she does not add "dirty!". "He, or whoever it is, just doesn't need to take out whatever juvenile issue he has with you on poor little Esme."

"Maybe this is the last task, or whatever, and Esme will be back in your room tomorrow."

"I'd hope so, but I'm betting it goes in threes." Parker sighed. "Whatever. At least they proved they have her, and she looks fine in the photo they sent me. Munching on kibble, but fine. I bet they don't feed her any carrots." She shook herself. "And I don't know if Marty's in on it, but he damn well has been warned now. He can't say he wasn't."

Trying to think of anything else to talk about, she said, "How's the hair color working out?"

"Poor little wabbit," Angela says. "And the hair is ... fine, I guess. Still trying to decide if I like it or not. I'll probably end up going back to red eventually."

Parker tugged on her own temporarily-mandated ponytail, and said, "Hair's not a small issue. Think it through." Then she grinned. "We gave Dr. Pierson his present yesterday. Sorry you couldn't be there."

"Me too," Angela says, a trifle wistfully. "I hardly get to see him, especially because I had to drop medieval history. You guys got a coat, right? Did he like it?"

"He did. And he looked damn cool in it, too. He knows it was from you as well." Parker smiled. "I'm sorry you're not in history. Zero and I are having fun pestering him in that class."

"Yeah, it was just one thing too many. I was ambitious and added government, and found out in about two days that I can't do six classes plus this. I'll take something with him next semester."

"I'm struggling with five plus more StuCo. We're going to scale back I-Club to once a month, which should help. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it, next semester. How are you enjoying Government?" Parker smirked. "Professor Lyman is a lot of fun for campaigning, at least."
