Library, Monday
Tip was about midway through a thoroughly uneventful library shift when the landline phone on the circulation desk rang.
She'd never even realized the circulation desk had a landline phone before.
It was a robocall, she was 90% sure, unless some Fandom resident happened to speak in a stilted, staticky tone and tended to start talking mid-sentence when you answered. Which . . . wouldn't be the weirdest thing, but Tip was comfortable going with Occam's Razor on that one.
Also, she was reasonably certain they were speaking Korean.
A few minutes later, she heard another phone ringing, this one over by the old card catalog. And shortly after answering that one, she heard a phone off in the stacks. . . .
She probably could just ignore them, but it was kind of fun hunting for phones. And thanks to the Boov translation mole on the back of her neck, she was getting close to being able to understand Korean!
