Library, Thursday (11/20)
Today was going to be an interesting library day. Cosette could tell that as soon as she walked in and found two shelves' worth of books on the history of aviation flying around in the stacks.
On the floor beneath this apparent fly zone was a triangle roughly outlined using stray paper clips and pencils, and she was going to guess that this was the work of the half dozen or so Time-Life books about paranormal phenomena that were scattered around the outside of it, seemingly daring the flying books to fly over the triangle instead of swerving around it.
Attempting to reason with any of them didn't work, so Cosette finally left them to it with a sigh and a stern "Well then, since you're all determined to be silly, you'd all better take care you don't damage yourselves or each other! I'd much rather not have to patch you up afterward."
Which she would do, of course, but she had to make sure they knew she didn't approve of their behavior.
Every now and then, with no one in sight, the book return bin would let off a soft thunk sound as if someone had just dropped a book into it. After the third time this happened Cosette finally took a look inside to find several of the recalcitrant aviation books, who seemed about as dazed and disoriented as books could appear to be. Really, all she could conclude was that these were the ones that had let the Time-Life books goad them into taking the dare.
So yes. Interesting day.
