The Library is Open (02/23)

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

"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."

Rory blinked.

"Marty?" she guessed.

"Yeah," Angela said, screwing her face up. "I mean, maybe it was just a weird dream, but I think he was talking on the phone to Marcella in the middle of the night. And when I asked him what was up, he said it was paperwork and I should go back to sleep. I was still half-asleep anyhow, so ... then he left for ACJ before I could talk to him today."

"I mean, can it be nothing?"

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?"

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.

"It might be. Maybe try asking him later? When you're not half-asleep, and all," Rory ventured.

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

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.

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

"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."

"But they haven't failed me yet," Rory said.

"What, you mean actual talking to him instead of dissecting stuff with you?" Angela said. Then: "Yeah. You're right."

"So how's your imaginary boyfriend?"

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?"

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

"He's good. Haven't seen him in a couple days."

Rory frowned, thinking of something again and blushing. "But yeah, he hasn't even seen the limbs thing yet."

"Uh huh."

Rory reattached her leg, and pulled off her left arm. She held it up. The hand totally waved at John.
