Library, Saturday

[not_harmless]

Instead of books, today the library was filled with… oranges. Oranges of all types. Terra had no idea what might have happened to the books- she hoped they’d been replaced by oranges and not transformed into oranges, because she’d accidentally stepped on a small mandarin when coming in today.

Hopefully no one needed to do any actual research today, because unless it was about juice they were probably out of luck.

"Then I would like to check out this orange, please," said Libby, picking the one on the desk up and handing it over to Terra. "After all, since it rolled off the shelf when I got here, it sort of feels almost as if it picked me, doesn't it?"

“It really does,” Terra said, taking the orange and scanning it with the library’s barcode scanner, which beeped obligingly.

“You’ve got that for two weeks,” she told Libby, handing it back. “But do feel free to come find me before then if it turns into a book. I’d like to know which it was.” Sadly, the library’s checkout software offered no clue as to the title of the orange in question.

"If it stays an orange," Libby said, taking the orange back and holding it close to her chest now as if she'd been bestowed a precious item, "I'll probably return it well before two weeks because I can't picture it keeping that well for that long, but who knows, if it's really a magic orange. But honestly? I hope it's really a book, because I want to know what book it'll be, too."
