Library, Thursday, 8/17

[chasingangela]

Angela comes in early and strangely alert for her next-to-last time in the library alone, at least until the new librarian starts.

And depending on who the next librarian is, it may be her next-to-last time, period. Because she's pretty much decided that if the next librarian is another one with fur, she's going to take it as a bad sign and quit before Special Collections eats her.

But today? She's mostly sorting through some new books that have come in over the summer and twirling on her stool while she waits for people to have bookish needs.

"Um ... Larry. Larry was Blackbeard's lobster," Angela said. "And of course Barjossakin had three badgers. He dyed them green in honor of his wife, Jade Flower."

Angela hoped Jamie had never heard of Angelica Desmesnes.

"Barjossakin?" Jamie said scratching his head. "Wow. That name sounds reeeeeaaaaaall familiar."

"There's a Barbossa in town," Angela said. "He runs the radio station. Maybe that's why?"

"Wasn't there a book about him and Jade flower? Wasn't she a ninja or something?" Jamie said looking perplexed. "I thought it was fiction."

[chasingangela]

"Fictionalized," Angela lied. "Heavily based on fact."

"Really? Who was the author?" Jamie asked. "I may have to look that book up. Do you have it here?"

[chasingangela]

"It's by Angelica Desmesnes," Angela said. "They're over in fiction, but they're really popular. It might be checked out."

Jamie went over and pulled out what looked to be the right book and returned to the counter.

"It doesn't say anything here about it being based on historical events," Jamie said looking at the blurb on the cover.

[chasingangela]

Meep.

"They ... left it off to increas sales?" she said. A little desperately.

"Yeeaaaaah. Right," Jamie said crossing his arms trying to act indignant. "You know it's not nice to tease people about their lack of badger knowledge."

[chasingangela]

"But it was fun," Angela said, looking rather embarassed. "Sorry."

"So are you checking out the encyclopedia?"

Jamie burst out laughing. "It's okay. I should have known something was up when lobsters were mentioned. I think I'll take the 'D' and 'E' volumes this time."

[chasingangela]

"The lobster part was, like, a hundred percent true," Angela said, processing the check-out. "Promise."

"Have a good day."
