The Library, Wednesday

[talentforlying]

John had gone home long enough to get a good three hours of sleep in, shower, and then gotten back up and come into work.

Real coffee was out, you could ask for tea if you wanted it, and the librarian was in-and-out of Special Collections, bringing out the oldest books and scrolls he could find.

Good luck, Fandom. You were going to need it.

Jack didn't get to the library until after he'd gotten Emma her smoothie and soup, and managed to get her to drink almost half the smoothie before she begged off.

It was not an encouraging day. He found some books on mystic medicine and started reading through them, hoping to spot something -- anything -- that would be at least a little useful.

"Do we think everyone sick is cursed?" he wondered. "I don't think Emma went to the shop, or she hasn't mentioned it if she did."

"I don't know," Eleanor said, lifting her shoulders. "I think there might be multiple things going on? Joker -- may not even be sick."

Maybe they had just had an ugly fight for no good reason, or maybe his new treatments were making him paranoid. But that necklace was worrying her.

"Kenzi said that the shopkeeper told people to lie," she added. "So I'm not sure we can even know who has anything."
