Zero opens up the library and settles in behind the desk. For all your bookish needs.

"I sense doubt."

"And a seething mass of resentment," she said in a weirdly agreeable tone of voice. "But mostly doubt."

"Okay, see, well, I'm not good with sensing stuff," Angel said. He tried for a self-depricating smile.

"Mm. That lack of people skills will get you every time. I thought of hitting you," she continued. "But I'd either die or get detention, and neither seemed ideal."

Re: Fourth Period

"Hitting? 'cause I'm not good with people?"

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"No."

Re: Fourth Period

"Did I forget to return a library book?"

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"No." She's really not making this easy.

Re: Fourth Period

"Okay, that's good at least. 'cause usually I'd remember checking one out in the first place."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"I'd certainly hope so."

Being very bad with people means finding it hard to dig yourself out of these kinds of holes.

"So... new hair color?"

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"Yeh. Has been for a couple of weeks now."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Right, right." Angel nodded. "Been a while since I, um, paid attention. To girls' hair."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"I would have thought mine was at least notable. Perhaps I'm trying too squalling hard."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It's noticable!" Angel assured her. "Very, very... when was the last time I was in the library anyway? Boy. Must've been a looong time."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"Must've been. You obviously didn't recruit the others in here, or I would've had some squalling clue something was going on."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I didn't recruit anybody!" Angel said. "It just... happened."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"Uh-huh."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Recruiting people requires talking to them."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"And you, what, had something wrong with your mouth?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No," Angel said, "I had a desire not to up the possible body count by more than it had grown to."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"So you were aware that you were practically asking for somebody to get killed."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yes. And so were they."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

"Really, now? That's not the swoo I've been getting."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Funny," Angel said, "because that means they didn't pay attention to me when I told them that before we even started."
