Wednesday, 4/12, Library is Open

Zero is in a very strange mood today. How strange? Well, she's listening to the Dixie Chicks on her headphones. Come by and rescue her from herself or study or something.

Third period in the library on Wednesday was practically part of Peter's schedule at this point. "Hey. How's my favorite library aide today?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Jaye's a library aide now?"

Re: Third Period

"I meant my favorite aide besides her, of course," Peter said.

"Oh, I'm just swerval. Slow day, unless you count Cam's suicide attempt."

Re: Third Period

"Suicide attempt? Did that have anything to do with the book thing I heard about on the radio?" Peter asked.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Yeah, there's somethin' not quite right about that boy."

Re: Third Period

"Maybe he tasted some of the slime that's been going around recently," Peter said. "That stuff can't be good for you."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"I don't know."

And then Zero was covered in slime. "SQUALL!"

Re: Third Period

Peter got hit by some of the backsplash from the slime because his spider-sense didn't go off. "If it helps, I'm now positive that the slime isn't dangerous. Just, you know, slimey."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"That's kind of reassuring," Zero said drippily.

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Can I get you anything? A towel? Some water?" And then some clear, liquidy stuff fell.

"The water's not dangerous either." And again. "Dammit."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero got splashed by the water both times, which helped with some of the slime. "This is not going well."

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"It is not," Peter said. "At least nothing got soaked except for us, right?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero glanced down at the collections desk between them, which was remarkably dry and slime-free. "Wish that effect transferred to people," she grumbled. "And hey, you're not slimy any more!"

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm not. Which will make my test next period a little more dealable," Peter said. "Too bad you're still slimed. You're all gross and stuff right now. Ew."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Yeah, sorry about that." Zero blushed a little under the slime. "Hey, you wanna do something sometime? I've got a movie you could mock mercilessly."

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"A mercilessly mockable movie? Yay. What movie and when?" Peter asked.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"It's called Hopeless Savages 'cause I couldn't think of a better title. When're you free?"

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Oh, is this the film school movie you told me about? I can't wait to see it!" Peter said, somewhat giddily. "Saturday's out because of Poker Night andit'smybirthdaybytheway, but Friday night would be perfect. A movie date without leaving home. And with fewer arms than last time."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Swerval, it's a date--did you say birthday?"

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Um. Maybe," Peter said. "It's no big deal, really."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"'Course it is, it's your birthday. It gets to be all about you, all day."

Re: Third Period

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Of course, I already traded the night part of that away by volunteering for Poker Night," Peter said. "But, really, it's just another Saturday. Except maybe one with presents!" He didn't mean that, of course.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"What do you mean, maybe? Of course with presents!" Zero began wondering about the logistics of an afternoon party except she's already going to be busy during the day.

Re: Third Period

"Yay presents, then," Peter said. "Okay. Nothing big, though. Simple is fine." If she wanted to go big, he couldn't stop her, but he wasn't requesting or necessarily hoping for it. And Saturday party is out anyway.
