Library, Wednesday

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Anyone expecting a quiet redhead behind the circulation was in for a rude surprise--emphasis on the rude. There was a lanky brunette behind the counter today, watchful and on edge. There was a knife strapped to her hip and a gun within easy reach under the desk.

Zee wasn't taking any chances with the creepy guys that were suddenly around the island today. She was going to be the sister in view for the rest of the week, their other classes and identities be damned. One surprise attack that had them appearing in one of those weird machines was more than enough, thanks.

Don't expect a lot of help from today's substitute library aide, unless you were planning a trip out to put the hurt on some of those tire-wearing freaks. Then Zee was all yours.

Researchers

Look, there were tables, chairs, and a bunch of books. What more did you need? Get on that.

Evan, wanting to feel like he was actually accomplishing something more than just sitting around and fretting, had made his way in to the library today. He hadn't quite noticed which sister was in view over at the aide's desk yet- There was a lot of work to be done. But he'd definitely check up on Sholeh once he was caught up on what people knew so far.

The idea that there were things killing people out there hadn't even crossed his mind yet.

Electroclash still had the from yesterday with her. And the computers were still there. So, re-connecting with Pandora was possible.

But her people skills were no better than they had been yesterday. So, she really needed someone else to do the talking.

And, well, Evan was there. So. "Hey, kid! You look like you could appeal to someone's protective instincts."

Re: Researchers

[genesishero]

Well, there was an interesting conversation starter. Evan blinked up at Electroclash from the book in his hands, and then pointed at himself as if to say, 'me?'

"I suppose, if there are any protective instincts to appeal to. Um... Are there?"

They kind of seemed to be in short supply these days.

After some heavy lifting late last night and a very sarcastic radio broadcast this morning where she tried not to give Hyperion any useful information, Jessica made her way over to the library to hit some books.

Metaphorically. Although she figured Fandom books could take a punch and probably give just as good as they got. But she digressed.

Re: Researchers

Isabelle was not the greatest researcher the world have ever seen. She was far more likely to attack things head-on. And, maybe she'd even do that later today.

But she also knew the people who knew what the hell was going on usually resided in the library. So, she'd thought coming by and maybe picking up a book or something might help.

Riley returned the library at some point, opening his laptop back up and going through several further searches now that he knew where this tech came from and who might be behind it. He was gonna leave further communications to other people.

Re: Researchers

[selfhelphero]

Billy had a big cup of coffee with him when he got to the library today, but he was keeping it far from the computer as he continued his search for anything useful about Hyperion and Handsome Jack. Mostly, he really wanted to know if Handsome Jack was actually Handsome. That was going to bug him until he knew.

Mod Your Library

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

In case you had other things to do in here? Whatever. Zee doesn't judge.

Re: Mod Your Library

Sam had never been to the high school library before. It was nice. Very nice, actually. Large.

Of course, it was no Oxford. But what was, really?

The reason she was here was mostly that she was looking for books on interesting historical periods in a few cities she'd been considering taking a trip to over Christmas, but she'd also heard that it had been a bit -- busy in here lately. She was curious.

Talk to Zee

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Don't expect pleasant conversation, okay? Someone had attacked her baby sister. Stuff done got real.

Re: Talk to Zee

[talentforlying]

Wait. Stop. Back up. Constantine stopped and peered at the strange girl behind the desk.

"You aren't Sho."

Gold star, John. Really.

Re: Talk to Zee

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Ordinarily, Zeela would have made a snarky comment about his observational skills. That she didn't was a testament to how shaken--and angry--she still was.

"Nope," she agreed, voice low. "But as long as there are strangers on this damn island, I'm going to be taking over her shift."

Re: Talk to Zee

[talentforlying]

"Roommate, friend, girlfriend, or relative?" John asked. "As long as there are 'strangers on this damn island,' I need to know who the hell is in my bloody library."

Re: Talk to Zee

[genesishero]

It wasn't until after being grabbed for his call to Pandora that Evan realized that something was a little amiss in the library itself. It was with a worried look on his face that he made his way over to Zeela.

"Hey... Um... What's up?"

Translation: 'You look angrier than usual. What happened to Sholeh?'

Re: Talk to Zee

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"Evan."

Zeela gave him a short nod.

"Can I help you with something? Sholeh's not here right now. She's...resting."

Re: Talk to Zee

[genesishero]

Resting? See the worried look on Evan's face deepen at that.

"Zee... what happened?"

All kinds of worried. With a bit of a 'who do I have to destroy' undercurrent running along with it. Which was still a little unsettling coming from someone who had just puppyfaced a total stranger into agreeing to help save the island.

Talk to the Librarian

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's in a better mood?

Re: Talk to the Librarian

[talentforlying]

AHAHAHAHAHA - No. But Constantine might be willing to share his coffee, if you ask nicely.

Talk to Pandora

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

It's that place that's not here.

Re: Talk to Pandora

[pandora-goodies.livejournal.com]

There was rather an excrutiating waiting period, where it juuuuust almost looked like nothing was going to happen at all. But then the screen blinked to life.

Someone was snoring.

That would be the brunette with her head against the desk that the screen at Pandora end was resting on. A redhead with blue tattoos across her chest was leaning over her, and had obviously been the one to pick up the call. She looked curious. And maybe a little confused.

"Uh, 'sup?"

Re: Talk to Pandora

[genesishero]

"Um... hi!" Well, this was off to a fantastic start. Evan straightened his tie, a bit of a nervous fidget more than anything, and then attempted a smile at the woman on the other side of the screen. "Sorry, did I wake you up? I'm looking for the Doctor?"

The one whose name he wasn't going to attempt, because if Electroclash wasn't sure about it, he really didn't want to potentially mess this up by giving a totally wrong name.

Re: Talk to Pandora

[pandora-goodies.livejournal.com]

"Dr. Tannis?" the woman checked, pointing at the passed out figure next to her. Then something seemed to occur to her. "Wait, does that mean someone actually did call her yesterday? Because I thought those were just... you know, ravings."

Because Tannis got that way sometimes.

And then later:

There'd been a lot of faint arguing since Lilith had last shown up on the computer screen in the library... (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3515776.html)
