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 ]

"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."

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

"Um. He mentioned his birthday got kind of passed over, and I felt really bad, so I ordered him a cake and got him presents and so it'll be kind of like a little party," Rory confessed, looking a little sheepish.

"Yeah, it did. Way back, all sorta overshadowed by the pageant craziness and everything." Anders frowned. "So this is sorta a surprise party for him? I should've thought of that. Man, some best friend I make . . . d'you need me to help?"

"Hmm." Rory thought for a moment. "See, I don't know if we'll be able to decorate like we did for Cally's party, but...ooh! Want to get some balloons or something? That'd be fun to have."

"Balloons I can totally do," agreed Anders, nodding. How frakking cute is this? he thought, hoping he wasn't smirking. "Green, probably. Seems like the right color for him. How about drinks and stuff? Just soft drinks, of course, but I can grab some of those."

"Oh, drinks would be great," Rory said gratefully. "And yeah, green is perfect, since the icing on the cake is green. And plus it's almost St. Patrick's Day."

Anders groaned. "Not another holiday!"

"To celebrate Irish heritage," Rory said proudly. "And I'm Irish way, way, way back, so yay. But it's really more of an excuse to get drunk and wear green."

He sighed. "You guys have weird, weird holidays. And they all confuse me."

"Eh. You don't have to get St. Patrick's Day to enjoy it, at least," she offered.

"Yeah, but bad things happen to me when I drink," replied Anders, ticking them off on his fingers. "I got in a fight with Cally at Parker's birthday party that ended up with us thrown out on the street and me with cake all over my face . . . I ended up in the pageant because of the strip Triad game . . . Cally passed out on me and ended up sleeping in my room -- okay, so that one ended up pretty well."

Rory rolled her eyes. "True. And I try not to drink, too, since the last time I did, in England, I almost did something idiotic. You probably heard Jaye on the radio." She facepalmed. "But still. It's just a fun, goofy holiday."

"All your holidays are fun goofy holidays to me, considering I have no idea how to celebrate them otherwise," replied Anders. "And yeah, I heard Tyler. What does she have, a titanium liver or something?"

"Yeah, but I mean that there's no actual reverent tradition, really," Rory replied. "And as for Jaye, I'm just glad I managed to keep her from flingenating more."

"Flinge-what?" Anders facepalmed. "Never mind, I'm so not asking."

"It's better if you don't, really."

"And that's why I'm not." Anders grinned and disappeared into the stacks ~~(OH NOES!)~~ in search of information on woodchuck mating.

He did leave the thermos, though.
