Library [08/08]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory bounced into the library bright and early on Tuesday, sipping at her third cup of coffee as she took her place behind the desk and curled up with a book of Sylvia Plath's essays.

[Up eeeeeeeeearly 'cause I'll be AFK until around 1-2 EDT.]

It's been awhile since Cedric's been in the library but, for some reason, he finds himself there today.

He waves politely at Rory.

Rory waved back. "Hi, Cedric," she said happily. "How goes it?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I'm slightly sunburned and tired but otherwise well." He nods and asks, "And yourself?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Awake and thankfully air-conditioned," she replied. "Why the sunburn?"

"I went rafting this weekend," he tells her. "In a place called West Virginia that had a set of rapids called Fuzzy Kittens or something."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh, with Isabel and Jack and Parker?" Rory asked. "I heard about it. So you all missed the weirdness?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he says and nods. "And there was weirdnesse? Is everyone all right?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We all thought we were each other," she told him. "I thought I was Jude. I called everyone 'bro.' Except the girls, who were 'bra' and that was just embarrassing."

"...how?" Cedric's gotten used to a lot of things but this still confuses him. "Was there a spell cast?"

Angela doesn't even work today, but somehow she's drawn to the library.

Go figure. "Hey, Rory. I have candy."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oooh?" Rory perked up immediately. "Hi! Candy?"

[chasingangela]

"I got a bunch of hard candy when I was at the store. Needed a sugar fix," Angela said, popping a root-beer barrel into her mouth. She held the bag out to Rory. "You want?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Surely!" Rory said happily, taking a piece of candy. "What's new and exciting? Did you think you were anyone weird this weekend?"

[chasingangela]

"Joxer," Angela said, making a face. "There was ... armor. You?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory wrinkled her nose in sympathy. "Poor you. He's so skeevy. He tried to feel up Aeryn." She shook her head. "I was Jude. I called everyone 'bro' and slouched a lot."

[chasingangela]

"Aeryn?" Angela asked. "And he actually kept his limbs? I'm amazed."

"Jude is that skateboard boy, right? That sounds weird."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "She was a printheth at the time, but still. And yeah, I barely know Jude, but I'm not sure my posture will ever be the same."

Anakin had tucked himself into a corner with a travel guide of the United States.

No particular reason.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Whatcha reading?" Rory asked curiously when she took a break from manning - womanning? - the desk.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin flipped the book so she could see the cover. "Trying to learn a little more about this country," he said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You and Aeryn both," Rory said, peering at it. "Any particular area?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"California," Anakin replied. "There's someone out there I should probably see before the end of the month."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Logan?" Rory guessed with a half-smile.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin wrinkled up his nose. "Exactly," he said, rolling his eyes. "Because I'd totally lose sleep if I never saw him again."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"There might be pining," Rory agreed.
