Library, Sunday

[rebelseekspizza]

"So... where are the eggheads?"

Dante'd been fighting something out of a Japanese schoolgirl's nightmare out there. He'd been hoping someone was close to a solution. Instead the door was still closed, and... "Eight AM. I stayed up fighting shit until eight AM."

He nudged against the door and found it open. "'Kay then," he said, wandering inside. "Maybe there's some eggheads after all."

At the end of the day, magic and the like just wasn't Peridot's strong point. She was from a generation of Gems who relied more on technology than magic, was made to be a technician herself. So it was probably little wonder that she'd strayed from researching the magical aspects of the island's little weirdnesses and was sticking with what she knew best, today.

When she came across the red binder, she blinked, and then gasped.

"I have information on the machinery of the island," she announced, excited. "Details and maps and figures and--"

She opened the binder victoriously.

It was empty.

"... Okay. SOMEWHERE there are details, maps, and figures for the machinery of the island," she grumbled. "They appear to have gone missing."

"I didn't eat them!" Kuzco said defensively.

You know, just in case anyone had thought that he might've.

Re: Research!

There was a long pause while Peridot side-eyed Kuzco.

Then: "Are they edible?"

Re: Research!

[notouchykuzco.livejournal.com]

"...probably not?" Kuzco replied. "I haven't tried eating books."

Re: Research!

[era_two_triangle]

"Then why would you feel compelled to say that you haven't done so?"

Confusing organic people were confusing.

"Just...you know, nipping any lies in the bud?" Kuzco tried.

Kuzco honestly had no idea how he'd even gotten into the library.

Kathy was sprawled sideways in a chair, paging through another one of the boxes from the archives. She flipped Dante off with one hand, not even bothering to take her eyes off the page. "You wanna know how long I've been here?" she asked him.

Re: Research!

[rebelseekspizza]

"A week?" Dante guessed, already halfway on his way out.

Re: Research!

[spin_kick_snap]

"Ha ha," she said, looking up to stick her tongue out at him. "We find something, I'll call you?"

Re: Research!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Works for me," Dante said, rubbing at his eyelids. "I could sleep for a day."

Re: Research!

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy snorted at him. "Insomnia-amateur," she teased. "Go home, crash for a few hours. You'll be woken up by a giant bunny hopping soon enough."

Rhys was back in the library to help with the terrifying invasion.

It was possible that he'd Judy camped out here rather than shown up to help out. So, emerging from his little hovel, he somehow managed to find a random piece of paper with a map on it with: STEAM ROOM, SUNSHINE, PRESERVE MANAGEMENT

All marked out.

"Anyone want this thing?"

Re: Research!

[spin_kick_snap]

"Can I see that?" Kathy asked, making her way over to Rhys. "Is it a chunk of a map, too?"

Re: Research!

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Looks like it," Rhys said, looking at it more closely. "I think I slept on it."

Re: Research!

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy held her third out, looking to see if the edges matched up. "Definitely looks to be the same map," she said. "Yours has those strange labels, too."

Re: Research!

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"...so, helpful?" he asked.

Re: Research!

[notouchykuzco.livejournal.com]

"Nope," said Kuzco, who may have mistaken the library for a place that had food.

Re: Research!

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god, did you follow me here?" You stalker llama.

Re: Research!

[notouchykuzco.livejournal.com]

"...in my defense, I thought you were going for food and figured that if we ran into a giant rabbit, I'd let it eat you while I ran away," Kuzco said.

Re: Research!

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"I'm faster than you." False.

Kenzi had been growing more and more frustrated, and she nearly missed the significance of what she'd found because it wasn't actually *in* a book.

It was a scrap of paper, torn from a binder. Maybe something someone meant to copy into another book, and forgot. It was about a third of a map of a maze, one that matched the shape of the north side of the island.

Specific locations had been marked on it: EMERGENCY JUMP CONTROLS, ISLAND COMMS, CHOSEN ONE POD.

"GOT SOMETHING!"
