The Library is Open (02/09)

Rory toddled sleepily into the library after ACJ, and took her usual position behind the desk.

Library's open. It has books. Go read or something.

Third Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's slightly more awake, in that she looks as though she might be reading the copy of Brave New World she's lying on examining closely.

Angela walked in bearing a large bouquet of flowers and a box of Godiva chocolates. "Hi, Rory," she said cheerily.

"Mrph," Rory said, looking up and blinking. "Pretty! Valentine's isn't for a few days, right? I didn't sleep until Tuesday?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[chasingangela]

"Nope, it's still Thursday. These were in my room when I got back from the Perk. Broots sent them." Angela might have been gloating a tiny bit. "I mean, it's because our date sucked, but still. The boy has taste."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

"Can't say I'm surprised. About the taste thing, not the date sucking thing," Rory said quickly. "What happened?"

"What didn't? He brought flowers I was allergic to, I tripped and twisted my ankle, he knocked over a candle and lit my purse on fire, we both got tomato sauce all over our shirts..." Angela lets her voice trail off. "I mean, he was nice. But still. No sparks, y'know?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

"Eek," Rory said, wincing. "That's almost like a sitcom or something."

She sighed and ran a hand over her hair. "No sparks, huh? Is there anyone here who you are interested in?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[chasingangela]

Angela paused for a moment. "Not really," she admitted. "I mean, Blair Sandburg is kind of sweet, but he'd be too bouncy for long-term. Plus, I'm still kind of hung up on Marty. So maybe I wouldn't have felt sparks with anybody."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "Yeah, Blair's a sweetheart, but I don't think I can picture him with you. And yeah, maybe you just need time to deal more with the whole Marty thing. Doesn't mean anything's wrong or anything."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[chasingangela]

"I think you're right," Angela sighed. Tilting her head to one side, she added, "Did you see Marty in ACJ this morning? It keeps saying he's acting strange on the radio, but he was fine, when I talked to him Tuesday. Really low-key, by his standards."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I heard he's been weird. Like, he told my mom to go to a doctor, which is just bizarre and not Martyish," Rory mused. "He was fine in ACJ though. Eating an omelette and looking like himself."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[chasingangela]

Angela scrunched her brow. "An actual omelet, or egg whites?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Egg whites. I didn't get a good look, but I'm pretty sure that's what I saw," Rory shrugged.

Parker poked at Rory, and said, "If you can read with your eyes at half-mast, you can answer a quick question. I hope?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory glared at Parker.

"Shoot."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker cocked an eyebrow. "I *was* going to ask how long it'll be before Professor Tick gets our tests back to us, but now, I just wanna know why you're glaring."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Soon. And I'm sorry, I'll stop glaring since I'm probably not important enough to warrant an opinion," Rory said, turning back to her book.

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"What. The. Hell." Parker took the book away and held it over her head. "When did I give you that impression?"

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Angela and I shouldn't have been involved in the study group?" Rory asked. "Because you know, running those comms and checking your progress and detailing maps and putting together supplies? Absolutely not important at all. Since you'd rather have had Zero involved and all."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rolled her eyes, and gave the book, back, muttering, "Unnh!" under her breath. "I said, and I meant, I'd rather have Zero along for a fight. She likes fighting. You don't. I *never* said or meant I didn't want you on my side."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Rory said. "Because our group was really important, you know. And feel free to ask Angel if you think otherwise."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I never said it wasn't!" Parker protested. She palmed her face. "Look, I told Angela, and I'll tell you-- you guys *were* important. I know that! If I'm not sounding appreciative enough, it's just because I would have gone nuts if I'd been the one here. Zero's mad because she didn't hear *anything*, and she has a right to be." Parker glared at Rory. "And a right to be mad at more people than just me, I might add."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know, I've barely seen her or I'd have taken my share of the blame," Rory replied with a sigh. "She has so much right to be mad."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grimaced. "And I heard it from Vala, too. And I haven't even run into Jack yet, who will probably have more than a few things to say. Did you even *want* to go on the hunt, after we got things organized? I thought you were okay with running the supply and support stuff."

Re: Second Period (2/9)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I was. But I'd still rather have been out there rather than back in the room worrying when people's dots went out," Rory said. "But I know that's irrational, at least."
