Library, 3/13

Parker is hungover, unhappy, and really not glad to be back from break.

The Library is open.

Do not taunt the Library aide. This morning, she bites.

[ open for all your library needs ]

"Morning!" Rory called, bouncing in perkily.

Anders . . . was actually in the library of his own free will. Well, sort of.

He was there with the intention of looking up information on the mating habits of woodchucks. Which was not as random as it seemed; silly sociology project. But at least he had a thermos full of freshly brewed coffee on hand.

"Parker. Gilmore. Mornin'. Caffeine?"

"Have I ever said no to coffee?" Rory asked practically. "How are you today?"

Re: Third period

Anders promptly held the thermos out to her and pulled a handful of sugar packets out of the front pocket of his sweatshirt. "I'm here. I'm awake, scarily enough. What's goin' on with you?"

"You came prepared," Rory noted, pulling one of the ever-present coffee mugs from behind the collections desk and helping herself to some coffee, but passing on the sugar. "Um, I'm good. Did Bridgey talk to you about the thing this afternoon?"

Re: Third period

"Coffee is one of those necessary survival things, y'know." Anders looked a little horrified at the sugarless coffee, but kept his mouth shut on the subject. "Thing this afternoon?"

"Oh, we're having an animal balancing contest in the lobby," Rory explained. "Putting animals on our heads and trying to keep them up there. And I'm kind of adding to it, but he doesn't know that."

Re: Third period

Anders raised an eyebrow. "Okay, well, I've heard of weirder pastimes. What are you adding to it?"

Re: Third period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Oh God.

Parker sighed. Didn't look at Rory. And pulled out a pound of coffee... and a pound of dark chocolate.

"Yours, I believe."

Re: Third period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked.

She looked from the chocolate to the coffee to Parker.

"Oh, really?" she asked, trying very hard not to smirk.

Re: Third period

Parker covered her face, and let her head thunk on the library counter. "Ow." Then she muttered, "Yesterday. I should give Jaye the same for not putting it on the radio last night."

"Why are you headdesking?" Rory asked. "This is a happy thing!"

Re: Third period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"No, not really." Parker looked from the headdesking to mutter, "I freaked out and ran away. I have to call and apologize tonight."

Re: Third period

Rory raised an eyebrow.

"Did I ever tell you that when I got my first kiss, I said 'Thank you' and ran away?"

After Rory was done bouncing at Anders, Angela waved to her. "So I have librarian news," she said. "As in, we're going to have one again."

Re: Third period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker blinked. "Seriously? Any news on who?" She pushed a hand through her hair and tried to focus. "Or when, exactly?"

Re: Third period

[chasingangela]

"Veronica Mars met him in town Wedneday," Angela said. "She said his name was Kurt Wagner, she thought, and he's very nice."

She paused. "Oh, and she said he was blue, and I don't think she meant, like, in the emo way. BUT he talks, so ... step up, right?"

Re: Third period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Talking would be good, yeah." Parker leaned her chin on her hands. "I've liked all the blue people I know, not that that means anything. Hank. Zhaan, in town. So, maybe that's a good omen? Hopefully?"

Re: Third period

[chasingangela]

"Hank was sweet," Angela agreed. "I've never met Zhaan."

She scraped her fingernail against the desk. "Veronica didn't know when he would come in, though. He's probably still getting settled."

Re: Third period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hmph. Hopefully he won't ask us to reorganize the library again. Or, at least, I think that's what the last one was communicating." Parker looked a little more subdued. "Last night, when I was drunk...."

Re: Third period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory listened to Angela and Parker, thoughtful. "He's blue? Did Veronica say why?"

Re: Third period

[chasingangela]

Angela shook her head. "I think he just has blue skin. I don't know if she knew. Didn't ask. I was stuck on making sure he could talk."

Re: Third period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Huh. Yay for being able to talk, at least," Rory sighed. "Not that I didn't like the ape, of course."

Re: Third period

[chasingangela]

"The Librarian was nice, but I think he was as frustrated by the communication issue as we were," Angela shrugged. "Not that we really got to know him either way."

"I just hope this one lasts at least until the summer."

Re: Third period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"At least that, yeah. I wonder if the position is cursinated?"
