The Library - Tuesday

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

With all the freaky shit going on with the island today, Barry decided it would be a good idea to make sure the library was open today for any researchers to do some researching.

He was even nice enough to have coffee brought in from the perk. Normal coffee. Nothing that may have been brewed with acorns or anything.

For his part Barry was behind the main desk doing his own research by remotely accessing his lab via his tablet but would be available for anyone if they had questions.

"Oh, fantastic, it's the snobby ghost who can't get laid," Atton said. But that was just the snark autopilot talking. "Do you people know anything yet?"

"Says the slovenly living who can't, either," Bob immediately shot back.

"We do." He kept walking, heading for more books. "Apparently the new store in town, Needful Things? The proprietor sold Kenzi a cursed ring. She became obsessed with it, and felt steadily worse until she broke it. We're guessing quite a few of the people here will have similar stories. Is there anything new going on out there?" He'd been in the library since yesterday.

"Mist just crawled on in," Atton said, "The preserve's practically shriveled up, and my best friend is locked in his room refusing to eat or sleep because of a conversation over a dead phone, so I'm going to go with 'you're probably right'. This once. Gold star."

Needful Things, huh?

"I often am," Bob answered. "Mind you, I'm still not sure how or why he's draining the island, but I suppose we can start on that once we've stopped him doing it."

He gave Atton a serious look. "Don't be in too much of a hurry to help your friend; I know it's hard, but we may only get one shot to do this right. We'll find something."

Atton rolled his eyes. "I know what I'm doing," he said. Much as he'd spent their last conversation pretending he didn't. "I'm going to go see about this Needful Things place, see what I can find out. Someone else is handling the friend."

Someone who knew a lot more about bathing and feeding people. ... Not that Karina would be happy with that description, but, well. This was Atton they were talking about. He didn't even handle pets well.

Bob nodded. "Good luck. Let us know if you find anything."

"Good luck to you guys, too," Atton said, and then he was back out the door.
