The Library is Open (02/23)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

After teaching first period, Rory toddled sleepily into the library and began sorting books for reshelving.

And occasionally pulling her arm in and out of her socket, just to see what would happen.

The library is here, and the aides are happy to help. Okay, happyish. Whatever.

Second Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's being discreet, and simply taking her arm off, leaving it in the sleeve, and popping it back on again.

Angela came in nursing a cup of coffee and looking a little grumpy. "Morning," she grunted.

Re: Second Period [2/23]

Rory quickly poked her arm back into its place, and smiled. "Hi. What's wrong?"

Re: Second Period [2/23]

[chasingangela]

"Hi," Angela said, frowning. "So why would someone who's not working for someone else anymore call them at 4 a.m. about paperwork? Especially if the second person has, like, been retired for almost six months."

Third Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Less discreet. She's detaching her leg and poking at things three feet or so away with it.

John blew up a book on Maine yesterday. Of course, he can't remember if it was a libary book or not. So, he comes in to check.

Rory waved with her leg.

Re: Third Period [2/23]

John waves back before ralizing...that was Rory's leg. Rory's not attached leg. Rory's detached limb is waving to him.

"Did I lick something I wasn't supposed to last night?" John mutters.

"Rory, you do know your leg is not attached to your body, right?"

Fourth Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sadly, Rory's not here. Though she is in spirit, really.

And no, she didn't leave her arm or something behind. But wouldn't that be amusing if she had?

Re: Fourth Period [2/23]

Zero is here, though, and looking very relieved to be back in her own body.

If she's eating an early lunch of a tuna fish sandwich, well, girl's got to eat.

Fifth Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Ah, but now she's back. And she's discovered she never has to get a stepladder or someone to help her with the high-up books! She can just pull off an arm and use it to reach up and grab it! Awesome!

Because of this, she's sitting a bit smugly behind the desk, reading.

Parker shuddered. "You are so weird. Gah." She shook her head. "We're all going to see Dean Washburn today, right? As soon as everyone else gets here?"

Re: Fifth Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I guess?" Rory shrugged. "Sounds good to me, anyway."

Re: Fifth Period [2/23]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Good." Parker watched the hand move on its own again and shivered. "Know why that's creeping me out? I keep wondering about what's going to happen if you can't re-attach them again. Gahh."

Re: Fifth Period [2/23]

[swerval_zero]

"Why are we goin' to see Dean Washburn? The librarian thing?"

Re: Fifth Period [2/23]

[chasingangela]

"I think so?" Angela said. "I mean, if she's in her office, and everything."

Re: Fifth Period [2/23]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Angela figured out it's the only period that all five of us have free. The Library can survive a quarter-hour of us not being here so we can talk to the Dean." Parker shook her head. "Special Collections wins again."

Sixth Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's quietly reading. With all her limbs attached. Because even she needs a break from that kind of thing sometimes.

Re: Sixth Period [2/23]

Jack comes into the library. He know he needs help. Good thing he's charming.

Re: Sixth Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory looked up. "Hi, Jack. What brings you to the library this fair day?"

Re: Sixth Period [2/23]

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack stops, and narrows his eyes at her. "The play. The play that, apparently, you're responsible for me being in. The play I've never heard of and am now in, and playing someone named Flute."

Blair bounced in and claimed a table that was out in the open and very visible. Because he wasn't about to get in trouble for hiding in the stacks with Molly.

Re: Sixth Period [2/23]

Molly arrived soon after and joined him at the table. She set her books down and pulled out her Western Civ notes. "I brought my notes, but I really don't think they'll be much help."

She opened the notebook and slid it over. There was a page for each day of lecture. They even had that day's topic nicely written at the top of the page. Too bad that was all that was on topic. Besides the headers, the pages were either empty or filled with random doodles.

Re: Sixth Period [2/23]

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair flipped through the pages and grinned. "Well...um...I like the stick figure man that's throwing a spear on the page for 'Greek Politics and War'"

"Okay, I picked up some books and can guide you through what you've been learning or I could give you a pop quiz on some of the topics you've learned so far."

Seventh Period [2/23]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! Now she's gone again. And again, took all of her with her. Woe.
