Fandom Library, Wednesday, January 7th

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

It had taken Arden a few minutes to figure out what was off about the library when she'd walked in. Nothing seemed awry at first glance: the gremlins were there, but being an acceptable level of rowdy, the books were all in their shelves, save those she had to shelve, and there weren't any weird tableaux, weather patterns, or voices anywhere that she could spot.

So now Arden was twitchy for no good reason that she could spot. But she was definitely twitchy. Was this what going crazy felt like?

"I had to threaten them with Raiden being disappointed in them." It was a powerful threat.

"...is it quiet in here or is it just me?" It was a library. It was supposed to be quiet. That was what made it so suspicious.

"Okay, good!" Arden said, looking around. "It's not just me. Because it is quiet! Like, weirdly so. But I can't figure out why!"

Was the library just having a good day where nothing went wrong?

...Sounded fake.

No, no, that couldn't be it.

Gray dropped his voice to whisper, "Are the books plotting something?"

"Probably," Arden whispered back. "Maybe in conjunction with the gremlins? Look at them!"

You know, being relatively quiet and coloring. Maniacal behavior, for sure.

She was just going to start eating her waffles before the shit hit the fan and made that impossible.

Gray eyed the gremlins suspiciously. "I don't like it."

"I've been feeling like this the whole day," Arden told him. "Glad I'm not crazy then."
