The Library is Closed

[janet_fraiser]

The library may be closed, however, Janet has a key, and she's the only library aide in town. She locked the door behind her, flipped on just a few lights, and frowned. Armed with notes made from Angel's clinic chart, she made her way behind the Collections Desk and sat down to do research on what could have possibly caused those symptoms--and in someone who was clinically dead.

After a time, Janet closed the book she was looking at and rubbed her eyes. She wasn't having much luck. Though there was one book buried in the reference section of the stacks that looked fairly promising. "May as well check out every avenue possible," she said, standing and moving out from behind the Collections Desk and toward the stacks.

"I'd kill for an electron microscope right about now," muttered Janet. She disappeared into the stacks in search of one more book.



OOC: The scene is locked to Janet, Chloe, Piper, and Veronica. OK for broadcast, though. I will be AFK for a while, but the general setup of the scene supports that.

"What they said," Piper said, relieved they didn't seem to know they were frozen a few moments ago.

"Because of course it's much less bother on us when we come back from Spring Break and discover that the books are out of order and Special Collections has turned you into a newt." Janet rolled her eyes, but she wasn't all that upset. "Besides, what do you think I'm here doing?" She nodded at the books on the Collections Desk. "I can't seem to figure out any of the details on that damn toxin that Dr. Lambert found in his system."

"You're not likely to," Veronica said with a sigh. "It's something called Killer of the Dead. According to the guy at the bookstore, the only known cure is the blood of a slayer. We're lacking in slayers, not to mention the fact that I don't think Angel would want to go that route anyway, so we need to figure out something else."

"Killer of the Dead?" asked Janet. She frowned. "Well, if you're looking for alternate cures, let's hit Special Collections and see what we can find." She pulled out her keys and unlocked the door. "Do you all have your library cards? I think it's in a good mood tonight, but I don't think we should take any chances."

"Actually, I do have mine. Figured it couldn't hurt to bring it since this is the library," Piper said with a shrug.

Chloe nodded. "Mine should still be in my wallet, so yeah."

"Same here," Veronica said, hoping it was true.

"Great!" exclaimed. She pulled the door open and gestured inside. "Let's see what we can find!"
