The Library

[janet_fraiser]

It's Janet's last day opening the library, and she'd truthfully hoped to be a bit better-dressed for it. Sadly, she's down to her last jogging outfit--lavender shorts and a black t-shirt that was a little too short for her to be comfortable in it--and since she's out of clean socks, she's running around the school barefoot. Her sandals have gone missing since last summer, and she's not about to wear her running shoes without socks.

But! The last day of the term was library aide party day, no matter how silly she looks, and so she's hauled a couple of shopping bags filled with gourmet foods--Dr. Pierson was duly harassed for his credit card as forfeit for abandoning them to teach history, and also, Professor Wagner was just too nice for that kind of harassment--so she unlocked the door, flipped on the lights, and set out a bunch of mod your own yummies food and drinks behind the Collections Desk. Technically, it was just for the library aides, but they were all nice women. Hush, you. So roomies and friends and could probably be persuaded to share.

Random passers-by might even have luck too. As long as none of them had any overdue library books. Or were willing to accept a malleting and returned their book first.

First Period

[janet_fraiser]

Setting out the food isn't difficult. Plus it lets Janet sample everything before everyone else. And there's gourmet coffee.

Second Period

[janet_fraiser]

She's laughing at the purple prose in one of those books Zero got her hooked on. Hopefully the next one in the series will be out soon.

Parker came in after Zero's Final and before she went off on her date with Jarod, shaking her head. "That not yet posted class was nuts. Oo, you got the good Brie!"

Re: Second Period

[janet_fraiser]

"Of course I got the good brie. Dr. Pierson was paying for it, after all." She grinned. "So how are you doing?"

"Relieved Finals are over, and bummed that Angel's leaving. Glad Callisto and Xander are staying for the summer, though. Did I hear right? The new kids are showing up on Tuesday? Gah. This place never lets up, does it?"

Re: Second Period

[janet_fraiser]

"Wait, new students already?" Janet looked up from spreading caviar on a cracker. "I can't believe Angel's leaving right away. That's just depressing. We have contact information for all the seniors, right? And Professor Dream's heading home too.

[janet_fraiser]

Is Journalistic Integrity in session today? If so, Janet's there. She'll go and check. Oh, hell, I still have stuff to do for that.

[swerval_zero]

Zero came stalking into the library in her prom dress and combat boots, looking mutinous. "I have no other clothes!!"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet had darted out to return her not yet done JI interview and was barely back when Zero got in. "But you're possibly the only woman in this school who can pull that look off, at least."

[swerval_zero]

"That's sweet of you, but I know how I look." Zero fell on the *handwavey* brownies with an unholy passion.

[janet_fraiser]

"We could retaliate after this is all over?" suggested Janet. "I don't know, give them substandard detergent or something?"

Fourth Period

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's back, and as it's the last day of the term, she's not even pretending to get much work done. Though she is making sure all the paperwork she's gone over is in order for Professor Wagner.

"Hey," Elizabeth smiled at her as she entered the library. "How's things?"

Re: Fourth Period

[janet_fraiser]

Janet smiled. "Good, though I can't head back to the dorms to get my ransomed clothing until after I'm done in the library." She looked down at her outfit. "After today, I was about to be in serious trouble."

Re: Fourth Period

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"The clothes have been released?" Elizabeth asked, looking down at her own outfit. "Oh thank goodness for that."

Lunch

[janet_fraiser]

Which is when the library is closed, unless you're the aides, the librarian, or a friend of any of the above.

Re: Lunch

Angela began to pile a plate with hummus and pita, cookies, cheeses, and a stray grape or two so she could pretend it was healthy. In her desperation for something to wear, she had cut the sleeves off of a faded babydoll-style flannel dress.

"This is an amazing spread," she told Janet.

Re: Lunch

[janet_fraiser]

"We should send a thank-you card to Dr. Pierson for sponsoring it," said Janet, giggling. "Even if it was unwillingly and under threat of malleting. And thanks. God, after an entire year of the library, we deserve this."

Re: Lunch

[chasingangela]

"How is he?" Angela wondered, nibbling on a cookie. "I haven't seen him around in forever. Nice of him to pay for all this, either way."

Rory wandered in and smiled as she helped herself to the food and her player is not feeling well so we won't be listing all the various yummies, as that would not help.

"Did Dr. Pierson cover it again?" she asked curiously.

Re: Lunch

[janet_fraiser]

"He was kind of forced to," said Janet, snickering. She pointed to the coffee and flavored syrups and cream she had set off to the side. "Zero had her mallet. So how're you doing today? Feel better soon!"

Re: Lunch

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Annoyed. Stupid laundry machines. I'm running out of clothes." She waved at her light blue button-up shirt and plaid skirt. "I'm stuck wearing my old school uniform because I ran out of anything else clean."

Fifth Period

[janet_fraiser]

Everything's in order, the food is thoroughly munched on, but come on, Dr. Pierson's credit card? Janet made sure there was plenty there. However, boredom is starting to set in.

Sixth Period

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's leaving 'helpful' notes for whoever replaces her next semester. What, like 'when the lights in Special Collections go out, RUN' isn't helpful? Oh, wait, you mean 'don't worry about the window, it moves on its own' might not be?

Seventh Period

[janet_fraiser]

Last period. Last day of the term. Why bother going to the TA meeting if you've already had the final? Though Janet's probably around for any last-minute stragglers returning library books.
