Library [06/08]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory managed to make it into the library fairly early, dragging the damn book with her as well as her laptop, with a cup of coffee in hand and four wide-eyed, fluffy kittens firmly attached to the legs of her jeans.

The library was open, and would likely remain so for most of the day.

[If you're here for research, tag into that thread. If you're here for recruitment, go there. If you're here just to be in the library, there'll be a thread for that. OCD is coming up.]

Research!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had dragged out all the books she could find on ancient Egypt and magic that weren't in SC.

[You can find out anything pertaining to the plot from your research, but keep it reasonable.]

"Morning, Rory," Dawn yawned and selected a book at random from the pile. Egyptian Curses. Fun. A weetiny kitten poked its head out of the pocket of her jean jacket, while another was on her shoulder batting at her earring. She sat down at one of the tables and started at the table of contents. "So, what're we looking at? Is there a prophecy? Please tell me there's no prophecy."

Buffy wandered in after having a shower after Wilderness class. "Hi Rory, Dawnie. Evil afoot, huh?" She dropped down in a chair, then jumped right up again, squeaking startled. She turned to look at the chair. Two li'l weetiny kittens looked up at her with huge blue eyes and meowed. "Aww, kittens!"

"No prophecies, as far as I know," Rory told Dawn. "We're looking for anything relating to this book." She held up the one in question. "Anything on the Book of the Dead is good, though I think this is modified version. I mean, pudding and kittens aren't exactly darkness and blood as far as plagues go."

Willow came in after her meeting with Veronica. She had a little kitten peeking out from behind her ponytail. She waved at Rory when she saw her. "Hi, Rory! What's the up?"

Re: Research!

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy held up one of the little blue eyed kittens for Willow to see. "Kittens! Itty bitty kittens!"

Re: Research!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Clingy kittens," Willow agreed. There was a black and white one peeking out of her backpack now. "Poor little things. I've been trying to feed them."

Tyler nodded in Willow's direction, then brought his eyes quickly down to his book. He considered walking out, but it seemed like it would just create more problems.

Willow noticed Tyler and then tried very hard to be invisible without making a big show of how she was trying to be invisible. Boy was typing on her computer fascinating.

There were still wee kitties clinging to both of Tyler's jeans, and he was still wearing the handcuffs as bracelets on each wrist when he came into the library that morning. "Hi, Rory. So did you figure out what the thing I saw was?"

Re: Research!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi, and no, no idea. But I think it's related to the pudding and kitties and nightmares," Rory said worriedly.

Jamie walks over to the group after talking with Rory and gives everyone a friendly wave. "Hey guys. Heard you could use a couple extra eyes for research. Anything in particular you guys are looking for?"

Re: Research!

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved back. "Hey Jamie. Grab a book and look for anything on...the Book of the Dead, or any variations on the theme."

As soon as he read Rory's e-mail, Xander headed to the library. Not that he knew what they needed help researching, or if they'd even need him with the number of brainacs they had around these days, but old habits die hard.

"Hey," he said with a wave. "What are we looking for and how did we not learn from my mistakes when we are very much smarter than I am?"

Re: Research!

"I read a bad thing and so there are plagues," Rory said, because that was the succinct explanation. "We don't know how to make them go away or if it's going to get worse oh em gee."

She took a sip of the coffee that really, she shouldn't have had. It was her seventh cup. She was going on very minimal sleep. That might be why she was practically shaking.

One of the Jamies comes back with a ton of doughnuts from J,GOB's.

"Who wants a doughnut? I've brought plenty of glazed and jellies."

Dawn waved to Xander and offered him a book. "Egypt stuff."

Re: Research! -- Mummytime

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler was flipping through an illustrated book (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/895517.html?thread=44139037#t44139037) Jamie had given him, trying to find a picture of a child mummy.

he finally found one (http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/merenre3.jpg), and almost jumped out of his chair in excitement.

"This is it," he said loudly. "This is what was playing with me on the beach last night. I mean, not the same one, but it looked just like this."

Re: Research! -- Mummytime

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory perked up and strode over. "Oh...crap."

Re: Research! -- Mummytime

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked at the picture and gave Tyler a weird look. "You played with that? Man I hope you've been vaccinated for the bubonic plague."

Hermione probably should have called Rory yesterday to find out what was wrong when the library wasn't open, but she's very glad she checked her E-mail. Either way, she's here and in research mode.

Re: Research! -- Look the Big Bad!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

A Jamie lifts up an old dusty reference book. "I've got it!"

He lays the book out for everyone to see.

"It's this Pharoah dude who was only in power for a short amount of time by the name of Tuten Fratuten. He ordered the closing of the first coffee shop in Egypt that featured an ancient type of pudding because he believed his cats and pet scorpion were allergic to it. The slaves revolted by throwing butterfly cocoons at the palace and later the Pharoah was killed by being force fed a poisonous frog."

Hermione blinks, and goes back to her research.

After reading Rory's email, Zack showed up at the library. "You need researchers?"

Re: Research!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Rory said, nodding. "What languages do you read?"
