Yeah, yeah, I'm a week behind

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Okay, you know when I said I was going to hire the two assistants I needed last Friday?

Yeah, I lied.

However, I am going to do it today. So, if mparker16, positive_angel, deirdreofamber, call_me_red_ac (no time), b_someone, swerval_zero and _notanumber are still interested, please comment here. If I didn't call your name... sorry.

Please remember that I will be filling two positions today, for a total of three. janet_fraiser is the first one.

*drops head back on collections desk*

Comments

[positive-angel.livejournal.com]

Still interested, sir.

and hoping to avoid detention

[chasingangela]

I'm sorry, but I'm a little overbooked right now. Thanks for asking -- maybe next semester?

*leans over and pats the Librarian on the head*
*refrains from running fingers through his hair, since that might be sexual harassment before she gets the job*

Ohh, Dr. Pierson?

I'm still available.

*grins wickedly*

[janet_fraiser]

*yawns* *takes more Advil* *gulps down coffee* *works on damned library card applications more*

[janet_fraiser]

Parker. What the hell is your hangover cure? I need it.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*sardonic* Don't drink so much you need one?

Sex helps, too.

*relenting*

Lemonade. With a shot of kiwi juice. Go to the Kwik-Stop or get it ordered in, the cafeteria doesn't stock anything worth drinking.

*checks on Librarian, lowers voice*

Is he going to be all right?

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

(without raising head)

I can actually hear you. If you get me coffee you've got the job.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*blinks, then grins*

Promises, promises. Hold that thought.

I'll be right back.

*leaves to make a call*

[janet_fraiser]

*glares at Parker*

Tried that. Didn't help as much as I'd hoped.

If you can loan me a dose, I'll replace it when I get my own stash.

*lowers voice* He's either been chasing after or running away from this kid. Not really sure what's going on there, but it's getting beyond freaky.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*comes back from making a phone call, frowns at this*

*shrugs* The lemonade is easy; I've got some in my room.

*takes a few steps away from the Bat-Eared Unconscious One*

Think he's babysitting a demon?

[positive-angel.livejournal.com]

Chihaya, crestfallen, goes to class. So much for filling out the application.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*returns from coffee from the machine, as well as whipped cream*

Are you awake enough to smell caffiene when it's waved in front of you?

_{I have a back-up plan, but I have to hear back from the Perkulator before I suck up that much.}

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*one hand shoots out, grabs cup, drains it, and drops it*

More.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*is unwillingly impressed*

Janet? What do you think?

*Parker's prime directive: must. torment. cute. Librarian.*

[swerval_zero]

I'm definitely still interested, sir. Would you like more coffee?

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

(ooc: interested to do weekend hours as stated earlier)

*peers in Library*

*Puts down cardboard holder of coffee cups (4) and says* Ghostwheel tells me this is the expected morning drink. It has to be better than that stuff my brothers pass off as coffee. He got it from somewhere close by and it didn't kill me, would you like some? *holds out cup to janet_fraiser. There is a green logo on the cup.

[swerval_zero]

*is hovering looking bored*

*finally goes up to Janet* Look, is there any way I can help you out? I missed the slumber party last night t'do all my squallin' homework, because I forgot physics was cancelled.

At least send me for coffee or Jell-o or somethin'.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*Methos looks up*

"Frighteningly perky."

*drops head*

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*looks longingly at coffee*

Sadly, the library is closed on the weekends. I'm sorry. I've been chased by an Immortal sleep-deprived lately, I forgot that you had asked that.

*still looks longingly at coffee*

[swerval_zero]

I missed the party last night.

...I could be less perky?

[janet_fraiser]

*blinks* Oh! Hi! *looks glad to see Zero, but is just very hungover* I would love you forever if you got coffee, and then came back and helped me run the library card applications. I'll show you how to do it. It's easy, but kind of tedious.

[swerval_zero]

Sure. Tedious is fine, I jus' need somethin' to do.

I'll be back in a few wi' your coffee. How d'you take it?

[janet_fraiser]

Black. Very black. And hot.

[swerval_zero]

*snaps off a salute* Can do.

*exits library*

[janet_fraiser]

Give him coffee. If he's awake enough, then you can flirt with him.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*grins*

*goes off, comes back with more coffee, holds it up so Dr. Pierson will have to grab at it*

So. Kawalsky. What's the story?

[swerval_zero]

*Twenty minutes later, Zero returns with a cupholder containing three cups of coffee. She places one in front of Professor Methos, then sets one and a bar of chocolate in front of Janet. The last one is hers. She sits next to Janet.*

So, what's the swoo on these?

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*Picks up his head, takes a good swing, and then sips appreciatively*

Janet?

*waits for Janet to say, "Yes, what?"*

Are you teaching her?

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*waves his head* I can live with perky, as long as you can live with grouchy. And you bring me coffee.

[swerval_zero]

*wry smile* Oh, yes, sir. I have soddin' life experience with grouchy. Absolutely.

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

oh, have the coffee! I will open the Library late Tuesday and Wednesday if you prefer. (9pm Mountain)

But since weekends is my really available (mun is available regularly) time, I can understand if you take someone else.

No really, have some coffee, I can't stand that sad look, so much like my brother...

*sad smile, missing him*

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*takes coffee, smiles at her*

You have a good and generous heart, my dear.

Hmmm. Maybe I could use someone late nights and weekends... *considers*

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

It is ok, really, I understand about family business obligations. If you ever need some backup, I would be happy to lend you some manticores. Just let me know.

*reaches out, thinks better of it*

*Hands over another coffee and leaves the Library*

You can get me through Ghost if you need to leave me a message. (voice mail: http://www.livejournal.com/users/deirdreofamber/2198.html )

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

I am still interested in the position.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*gives MP a flat stare*

Childish. Really.

[OOC: Was the Kawalsky comment directed at me?]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*pouts*

*looks like she's about to sip*

*at his continued glare, gives up and hands it over*

You really are one of those people who can't function without it, aren't you?



_{[ooc: no, to Janet ]</sub.}

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*Methos bares his teeth in something other than a smile*

Function, yes. Care to? No.

*Takes cup, sips, now that he's on his fifth cup and is awake*

Oh, just get to work already.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*Parker takes this as the only victory she's likely to get, and starts looking at the Restricted Section speculatively*
