FH Library, 7/13

[chasingangela]

Angela was still thrilled to be back at school -- including back at work. She did a quick tour of the library, humming a little, pleased to be certain that nothing had been blown up. Then she went to organize the magazines, picked out the most recent Vanity Fair, and settled behind the desk.

It was a little odd not to have even a nominal boss, but Angela figured she could deal.

Jamie came in with the "A" volume of the encyclopedia and brought it up to the return desk. "Hi. This is a week over due? Do I owe any library fines or anything like that?"

[chasingangela]

Angela took the book and looked at the due date, then at the table of fines. "Um, you should owe seventy cents, but it's summer and we're short a librarian, so we could waive it."

She hefted the book. "So did you actually read this?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Jamie said with a nod as he dug out his wallet. "I plan to read every volume so I'll know everything in the world from a biased and slanted viewpoint of the western civilization. And I'll pay the fine, I'm a law abiding citizen after all. I'm Jamie by the way, I don't think we've met."

[chasingangela]

Angela looked a little confused, but smiled. "That is such a noble goal," she said. "And hi, Jamie. I'm Angela. You're one of the five zillion new people?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"And then some," Jamie agreed with a little smile. "And I thought I've met just about everyone here. Are you a new student too?"

[chasingangela]

"I have been here forever," Angela said. "Well. Since last September. I just took a vacation last term."

"So how'd you end up here?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Friend of mine drove me," Jamie said jokingly. "Nah. Seriously though. I'm a mutant and have had some problems recently with my powers and my memory so I came here to see if I can get them back."

Cally wandered up to the library counter and drummed on it with her knuckles.

"Heeeeey Angela," she said with a smile.

[chasingangela]

"Hi, Cally," Angela said. "What's up? Good to see you again."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Not much, just came in to look through the library, that's all," she said. "I'm guessing you're the one with more interesting stories than me."

[chasingangela]

"There were no Jello monsters anywhere I went," Angela said, shaking her head. "Um. Tahiti is gorgeous, my family's my family, L.A. was ... interesting but it was nice to see Angel anyhow, and Paris is really nice. Especially because everyone was watching World Cup so the tourist stuff wasn't too crowded."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Wow, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun while you were gone," Cally said. "Personally, I missed the Jello monsters. I hadn't even thought about going to the go kart thingy, since it was so soon after I... erm, have you heard about that yet?"

[chasingangela]

Oh. That was comfortable.

"I'm cabining with Anders," Angela said by way of an answer. "I think it's kind of your old place? So I've talked to him a little."

She didn't mention she'd also heard it from Rory and Nadia. It was never fun to feel gossiped about.

"Oh, so you're in Pangolin now?" Cally said, not exactly trying to change the subject. "It's a good cabin. I just had to, you know, avoid awkwardness. So now I'm... with your boy, actually. Over in Pot Bellied Pig."

A day free from workshops meant a day to try to get all the random tasks Sakurazaki had given herself done, especially since she wanted to keep her mind off of less concrete things. So she drifts into the library, and, as usual, quickly emerses herself in her work, finding a quiet corner with lots of maps and books about Chinese geography. She looks very engrossed in all her jotting and scanning and measuring, research and notebooks and English dictionaries scattered about her, but she's actually quite distractable.

[chasingangela]

The girl looked busy, so Angela just nodded to her. "Let me know if you need help finding anything," she called across the library.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Sakurazaki nods back with a simple "Thank you." She'd found the maps and geography books easily enough, just really hoping the scratch the surface today. The big stuff that she'd probably need help with would surely come later.

[chasingangela]

"Not a problem" Agela said, and went back to her own magazine.

[OOC:Leaving for work soonish, but I'm up for a conversation if SP is okay.]

Sometimes close to the closing of the library, Marty shows up with flowers, a picnic basket loaded with food and cold drinks.

"Hi."

[chasingangela]

"Hiii," Angle said, putting her magazine away very very quickly and coming around the desk to kiss him. "What's all this?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Something to end your workday on a high note," Marty said with a smile. "I thought a little light dinner here in the middle of the library might be nice."

[chasingangela]

"I think you just won the best boyfriend in the world award," Angela said. "Thanks."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty smiled and spread out a blanket on the floor. "So this award? Is there a ceremony? A commerative plaque?"

[chasingangela]

"All of the above," Angela said solemenly. "If you got the right food, anyhow. You lose if you got stuff I don't like."

"Oh the pressure's on now!" Marty said dramatically. "Did I mention I got all these recipes from Marcella?"
