After ACJ, Rory opened the library OMGSOLATEIAMSOSORRY.

Comments

Second Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was still reading Pride and Prejudice, looking a bit smug. And tired.

Third Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory wondered why it was that she really liked a story about a book-loving girl who ended up with a kind of arrogant guy.

She figured it was just Austen's writing.

Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And she's gone off to Campaigning, yay!

Re: Fourth Period

Zero came in, threw down her bookbag, and started banging her head against the desk.

Anyone else who happened to be present might want to ask her about that or make her stop or something.

Sam, who had wandered in with a cup of coffee, looking for someone to talk to. "Zero? You okay?"

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

She stopped banging her head on the desk long enough to say, "Oh, hi, Sam." And then the headdesking continued.

"It won't make the aggravation stop," Sam said, "you need to slam their head into the desk to make that happen."

Re: Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero stopped. "I am. I gave the Creature Languages students the wrong vocab sheets. They were about candygrams. How are candygrams supposed t'stop a shark bitin' your squalling leg off??"

Re: Fourth Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam didn't let herself think about why there were vocab sheets for Creature Languages about candygrams, or she'd be slamming her head into the desk next to Zero.

"Maybe the sharks will be so distracted by all the sugar and the fact that humans are speaking to them that they'll be amused and leave them alone?"

Lunch

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Closed so the aides can eat in peace if they so choose.

Re: Lunch

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's back here with her lunch, obtained from the NPC Deli: caviar on little crackers, gouda cheese, white grapes, crudites with strawberry jam, shrimp on toasties, and mini-gooseberry tartlets.

She might share if you ask nice.

Re: Lunch

[swerval_zero]

Zero did not ask, but one of Parker's mini-gooseberry tartlets might have disappeared while she wasn't looking.

Re: Lunch

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker may have cocked an eyebrow... and left another one out. Just dangling. Just outside of her reach. Supposedly.

Re: Lunch

[swerval_zero]

And it might have disappeared, also. Perhaps to join its tartlet brother. Perhaps it was eaten by a teal deer.

Re: Lunch

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Darn those teal deer.

Swallowing another bite of caviar, Parker asks, "Any new songs I should hear?"

She is contemplating the last tartlet. Yummy, golden, with brown sugar dusting the top. Mmmm.

Re: Lunch

[swerval_zero]

"I've been working on one. 'Everybody's Got Their Gnome,' but it's not finished yet."

The last tartlet remains unmolested by Zero or teal deer.

Fifth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's reshelving, because sometimes work needs to actually be done.

Sixth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And...now she's doodling.

Re: Sixth Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter stopped in the library late in the day, thinking about something. "Hey, Rory. Getting a lot of work done?"

Re: Sixth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Rory said, carefully pulling her Campaigning work over the doodles.

Re: Sixth Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Good stealth work, there. Very sneaky," Peter said.

"Anyway, I actually came into the library for research purposes for once. I was wondering if I could get your help with something class-related."

Re: Sixth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Rory said, nodding. "I don't know how helpful I personally can be, but I can help you find stuff definitely."

Re: Sixth Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. For my journalism class, I'm going to be looking to Professor Skeeter's writing for inspiration to make my own writing better." Peter somehow managed to say that with a straight face. "Unfortunately, The Daily Prophet doesn't have internet archives, so I was wondering if we might have some stuff from a magical, otherdimensionly newspaper somewhere in the library," Peter explained. "Any help you could give would be great."

Re: Sixth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory started laughing.

"Okay, no, seriously," she said, giggling. "We both know that isn't true. Unless you're suddenly delusional."

Seventh Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And since Paleo is canceled, she's sweeping the library.
