Library, Thursday

Evan was actually in a pretty good mood as he reported to the library for his shift today! Sure, he was a little late because he had a first-period class, but that just meant he had a little more work to do by the time he got in, putting away books and tracking down a few by some British author about a little girl and her five animal friends. They'd wandered off on some adventure or another... Something about finding a yellow house with a red door.

Once the six of them had been rounded up and returned to the children's section, they'd all taken turns trying to have a sulk on a pillow. Evan really didn't follow the logic of children's books, so he decided to maybe just leave them to it. He had more important things to do today, anyhow.

Since not all of the books are prone to heading off on marching band adventures, they should be easier to find!

Babysitting the books in the children's section always leaves him a little tuckered out, but he'll help you in whatever way he can!

"You're Sabahnur?" John had finally found the employee files, thank fuck. And yeah, the kid looked weird, but John had been a punk and seen far weirder.

"I am," Evan replied, turning a smile up at the man. "Evan Sabahnur. Which... I guess would make you the new librarian? Mr. Constantine?"

He'd been listening to the radio to be absolutely certain that he got his new boss' name right!

John made a face. "'M no one's dad, you can leave off the 'mister.'"

But... but Evan's manners!

"... Just Constantine, then?" He had to check. It had taken him long enough to stop calling Logan 'Mr. Logan,' and even then, he still tripped up all the time.

"Just Constantine is fine, lad, don't fret," John assured him. "I'm not a teacher, just a slightly-mad magician who's here to keep the collections from starting a riot."

"Oh..." Evan considered that for a moment, and then smiled a little more. "Well, it's good to meet you, Mist-" He choked on that a little, blushed slightly, and then cleared his throat. "It's good to meet you, Constantine."

It felt so wrong!

"Do you have a lot of experience with crazy libraries like this one?"

"Libraries, not as much, but I have a lot of experience with magical weirdness," John answered wryly. "And I needed a change of pace."

From selling souls to the Lords of Hell and such.

"Here's pretty much the place to go for a change of pace," Evan noted, "no matter who you are. Are you settling in on the island well, sir?"

Sir! It wasn't a mister!

"The walls in my apartment change color depending on my mood," John sighed, rubbing his forehead. He'd let the 'sir' slide, as someone had clearly prided themselves into hammering manners into the boy. "So it's rather hard to decorate-" which was a lie, John didn't 'decorate,' "-but so far, so good."

And he was going to lean over and find something wood to knock on, just in case.

Color-change walls? Evan looked maybe a tiny bit intrigued at the notion.

"Well, do you change moods often? You could probably just decorate for whatever color you feel the most, right?"

Look, Evan was being helpful!

If he's in today!

For the first week, at least, John was making an effort to make it in every day.

...once he finds the bars, we'll see if that sticks.

Yesterday marks my one-year anniversary of starting my career in the animation industry, so I figured I'd pay my first job a little homage with the books that my first-ever animation job was based on.

Ah, Tilly and Friends. I will forever look fondly back on you. While having nightmares of pigs on oversized tricycles.
