Library, 2/28

[chasingangela]

Angela is behind the desk, listening to Throwing Muses on her iPod and staring into space.

She can help with your book-related needs. Cheerfulness is optional, right?

[OOC: Lyrical comment threads are from the Throwing Muses' University album. It's a Kristin Hersh kinda day.]

"There has to be something around here that would. An X-acto knife, maybe?" Angela suggested.

She placed half a sheet of notebook paper on the counter. "Have fun being a lab rat."

"The potential to slip and accidentally slice an artery chills me, however," said Janet. The thought of a student with anything scalpel-like coming near her exposed skin makes her uneasy. "No offense."

Janet poked at it with her fingertip and lifted her hand up. It stuck. "Can we try to rip the paper off from around my fingertip?" she asked, holding it out to Angela. "And thanks for the help. This is just ridiculous."

"Where's your sense of adventure?" Angela sighed.

Carefully, she peeled away as much of the paper as possible.

"I think my sense of adventure is broken today," said Janet, grinning. "Possibly because if I instinctively clamp my other hand over it to staunch the bleeding, I don't know if I could pull it away."

A large chunk of white paper was left. "Better than nothing, and at least we know now, right?"

"You're lucky you didn't end up stuck to your desk, or something," Angela said.

"Does it hurt at all?"

Janet nodded. "That's a very good point. I'd hate to have to tote that around with me all day."

She shook her head. "Not unless I try to pull something off it."

Angela looked concerned as she checked her watch. "So, um ... I hate to leve you, but I was thinking I might take lunch to Marty in town. Will you be okay here, or should I lock up, or what?"

"No, go have fun," said Janet. She held up the pen. "I can type as long as I don't have to use the shift key. And if I need to, I can shove the lock shut with my elbow or something."

"And somebody else will probably be along pretty soon, too," Angela said. "PLus, you could always kick people if you dedded to."

She waved as she set off.

"Ooh, there's a bright side," said Janet, contemplating having to kick someone as she waved to Angela.

Stupid pen still didn't come off, though.
