Book Fair

[rup-giles.livejournal.com]

Giles had gotten up at ack o'clock and actually had toted five boxes of books to the Fandom High Gym before he "cheated."

Everything was now set up neatly on tables, and separated by genre.

There was also coffee and hot water urns, bottled water, and a variety of pastries and breads set on a table near the register.

The First Annual Fandom High Book Fair was open for business.

[ooc: Hang on to your collective hats while I get the OCD threads up, please.

Threads are UP. Whew. I think you all know how this works. Go look for a book. Up to you whether you find it or not. No, there is no magic/new age section. Yes, Giles has planned it that way.

That's it! Go to town! Wait. No. Stay here and buy stuff...]

"Lots of people, I suppose. This book is about how investigators use science to determine who did it," Isabel explained.

"Yes. But why do YOU want to read it?" Sometimes it annoyed River when people thought they had to explain things to her.

"It's not for me. My..." she paused, not certain what word to use. "My friend, is interested in forensics. It's for him."

"Oh," River said. "I'm River, who are you?" There was something odd about this girl.

"I'm Isabel," she smiled. "Nice to meet you River. And welcome to Fandom, just a little late. Do you like it here?"

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

Grinning, River nodded. "Yes. It's interesting. Where are you from?"

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

"Interesting seems to be the word to use," Isabel agreed. "I'm from Roswell, New Mexico, and before that from a place that was a bit farther away.

River nodded. "I grew up on a planet called Osiris, but I've been living on a spaceship for the past years. Smiling, she handed Isabel an orange.

"Thank you," Isabel said as she took the orange. "That place that was farther away? It's a planet called Antar. But I don't remember it."

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

River frowned. "I have never heard of Antar. Where exactly is it?" She glanced at Isabel. "You're not completely human, are you?"

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

"Somewhere out there. We're not exactly sure." Isabel shook her head, "No I'm not. How could you tell? Well other then the whole being from another planet thing?"

"I know things sometimes." River smiled. "Hear thoughts. Just curious."

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Huh..." she said. "I hope my thoughts aren't too disturbing."

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I've heard worse." River smiled.

Re: Non-Fiction--Popular Science

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I see," Isabel said, all too aware of how disturbing thoughts could be due to the dreamwalking she's done. Mildly disturbed by the idea that she's broadcasting her thoughts around, Isabel tried for a smile. "Well it's nice to meet you River, but I need to get going now because that RL thing calls. I'll see you around?"

River nodded and turned back to the books.
