The Library (2/24/2006)

Janet yawned as she flipped on the library lights. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night.

"Well I wasn't sure what everybody liked so I figured assortments tend to cover most people." she said, "Thanks."

She took a handful and put them in her pocket, retrieving a chocolate covered one and eating it.

"So... How do you like working here?"

"That's true," said Janet. "Though I don't think that I've ever seen any of the library aides turn down chocolate." She grabbed a plain caramel next before putting the rest of them in a bowl behind the Collections Desk.

"It's a pretty good job." Janet shrugged. "Though Special Collections can be a handful."

"Special Collections?"

"You've heard of Special Collections, haven't you?" asked Janet. "It ate a teacher last semester. We think it might have eaten the Librarian."

"Oh dear... Why do we have one then? If it eats people?"

"Because it's where we keep the dangerous books," said Janet. "You have to be very careful in there."

It had never occured to Pippi that books could be dangerous.

"Wow. You must be very brave."

Janet grinned. "I just know the right precautions to take," she said. "It's also been known to turn students into animals. I think it's sort of sentient."

"It must speak to Professor Skeeter quite a lot then."

Janet snickered. "You've opened up whole realms of questions for me to ask in Journalistic Integrity," she said. "You know that, right?"

"Nope." she said cheerfully.

"That's a shame." Janet grinned. "I'll try to remember not to tell Skeeter you've inspired me. Unless you want her to turn you into an animal?"

"I've never been an animal." said Pippi giving it some though.

"I know she turned Zero into a cat for when she gave a lesson to Creature Languages... It wears off... Right?"

"I think so," said Janet. "At least it does with Crichton. She's turned him into his own menagerie. And Zero was a cat on and off last semester too. She makes a very good cat."

"Yes, she was a very good cat language teacher too."

"I think Zero would be good at teaching," said Janet. "Though music is her first love. She plays in a band at home."
