The Library is Open (01/30)

Rory's sitting behind the desk, tapping a pen against it and obviously deep in thought.

She's here for all your library aide needs, however.

Archie coughs and shuffles his feet, embarrassed. "Ah. Yes. Yes, it did, and took some of us rather by surprise. I'm afraid I don't remember anything after the snowball hit me and the hypothermia set in." He leans forward, concerned. "Will your hand be all right? Oil burns can be nasty."

Angela looks at her bandage, grimacing a bit. "It doesn't hurt too much. I was wearing gloves, and I think they kept the oil away from my skin a little. So I only got a first-degree burn."

"But hypothermia, god, that sounds really serious. You're really okay now that you're thawed out?"

Archie looks relieved to hear about the gloves. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks to the marvel of modern medicine and two good nights' sleep under warm blankets. Though I think I'll still be dropping by the cafeteria later to indulge myself in a very large bowl of hot soup." He laughs. "I still feel a little bit cold just thinking about it."

"I bet," Angela says sympathetically. "They have soup in the cafeteria now? I started avoiding it last semester and haven't seen a reason to stop doing that. Is it, like, edible, and won't turn you into a muppet, and all of that?"

"I haven't heard of any incidents so far. Which could either be a very good sign, or merely the calm before the storm. Who knows?" Archie shrugs. "I'm willing to sacrifice myself to that experiment today, if only because my inexplicable soup craving is so strong."

"And, hey, sometimes you have to go with your craving," Angela notes. Unbidden, a vision of a big bowl of soup dances in her head, too. She shakes it off.

"Good luck, anyhow. And -- I'm guess ing you did not come into the library to talk about soup, unless you want a cookbook? Which we have."

At the mention of cooking, Archie looks a bit intrigued. "You know, that actually sounds like an enticing idea, but not today. No, I'm just here to do a little more studying on automobiles so I'm not so terribly out of my depth in my driver's education class. Though suddenly I'm thinking perhaps a soup party of sorts might be a good idea, to celebrate our survival this past frozen weekend." He grins broadly. "Yes, I think I'll be back for those cookbooks sometime tomorrow."

Re: Second Period

Angela grins at Archie "I'll pull some good cookbooks for you. There's this really interesting one called "To Serve Man," but we keep it in Special Collections."

"You know where the car stuff is, right?" Angela points vaguely to a set of shelves. "Or are you looking for something specific? It must be weird to take driver's ed when you're from before cars, and all."

"That would be lovely, Angela, thank you. HEE." Archie smiles. "And yes, Rory helped me find the automobile books last week. It's sort of an ongoing research project of mine. It's hard to be comfortable piloting a vehicle that hasn't even been invented yet where you're from," he admits with a small chuckle.
