Library, 8/28

[agentthepaper]

Not being able to stay away one more minute, Yomiko had collected the library key from the office skeletons, narrowly avoiding freaking out all over the place. Really, skeletons? What kind of place was this? She unlocked the library and peeked inside. "Hello? Is anybody...oohhhhh..."

And then she was off, wandering through the stacks like a kid in a candy store.

((The library is open! Come meet the new librarian. No OCD, as it is still summer, la.))

Lyra walked purposefully into the library. She was tired of not knowing what everyone was talking about.

It was cooler inside than she'd expected, she didn't know how the insides of buildings stayed so cold in the summer. She looked around, trying to see if someone was there.

"Hello?" she called after a moment. "Is anyone in here?"

A young woman of apparently Asian descent (save her blue eyes) came out from behind a row of shelves, carrying a large stack of books, which she set down on the nearest table. "Yes, hello? I'm Ms. Readman, the librarian. Can I help you?"

"Oh, hello." Lyra turned, tucking a strand of her blond-brown hair behind her ear. "I need a book on demons. The bad kind."

[agentthepaper]

"There are other kinds?" Yomiko asked, then said, "That should be in the 130s, Paranormal Phenomena."

[daemonridden.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, there are." Lyra looked around, trying to figure out the system, and faled miserably.

"Uh, 130s? Which way are they?"

[this is funny because I'm a librarian ^.^]

Yomiko looked around, kind of lost. "Uhhh, it's my first day? Oh! Over there," she said, gesturing to a row of shelves.

((Hahaha, and I'm so not.))

After saying goodbye to Anakin, Willow decided to see what the situation was down at the library.

"Hello?" she called out. Only quietly since, you know, library.

Lyra smiled, "I know what you mean. It's bigger than my last school."

She glanced over at the shelves Yomiko pointed at. "Thanks."

She wandered over to the shelves and started picking books at random, and soon was sitting on the floor with a bunch of them piled around her.

[ooc: I'm open to anyone who trips over her wants to talk.]

Handbook in one hand, library card in the other, Zuko entered the room. At least the books seemed to indicate he was in the right place. Now he just had to find someone to help him out.

Willow noticed a new student and decided to be friendly.

She waved.

Quietly, 'cause library.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko wasn't a wavey person. He nodded in reply.

Willow came over. "Hi, person who is new to me. I'm Willow."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

That wasn't as long as all the other names. "I'm Zuko. Do you work here?"

[agentthepaper]

"Hi!" Yomiko said cheerily. "Can I help you?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I wish," Willow said, wistfully. "I'm just a student. You?"

[agentthepaper]

"Hello there," Yomiko said as she set down another stack of books. Surely no one would object to her taking these home to read. She'd bring them back! "Can I help you?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

He was going to assume this girl did work here. "Yes. I'm Zuko," he said, holding up the library card which had his name on it. "Pippilongstocking said that you would have books that would help me translate things."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Possibly," Willow said. "Are you the new librarian?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I'm a student too," Zuko replied, but he definitely lacked the desire to work in a library.

[agentthepaper]

"We certainly do...or at least I assume we do." She hadn't actually gotten that far in her investigating yet. "What languages do you need help with?"

[agentthepaper]

"Yep, that's me," Yomiko said proudly. "Yomiko Readman, at your service. You can call me Ms. Readman, though."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Chinese," he said with a frown, hoping he had remembered correctly what Pippi had told him, "and... What are we speaking now?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Very nice to meet you," Willow said. "I'm Willow Rosenberg. You can call me Willow. Do you like chocolate chip cookies?"

Willow held out a Ziploc bag of said cookies. She figured it didn't hurt to bribe the librarian early.

Evie had found her Happy Place, if she'd known the expression.

She wandered through the shelves, greeting old friends, and finding new ones. "An Atlas of the Americas. Oooo. Let's see what you have...."

"What year?" Willow asked. "I'm a junior."
