Fandom High Library, Wednesday, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela came in a little late, clutching a mug of chai and a bagel like lifelines. She loaded a copy of the Sims into her "new" laptop and started trying to keep a very whiny miniature couple alive.

The library was open.

After Ms. Readman came in, Angela put a stack of applications on the counter and waited to see who would appply.

First period, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Damion and Martinique had a nice little house.

Too bad they wouldn't quit arguing long enough to move in.

Yomiko came into the library carrying her briefcase and a stack of forms. "Angela, could you stick a link to these in the post make sure people know these are available?" she asked.

"Sure though I'll have to retcon my conversation with Bridge," Angela agreed, and went to do that.

"Hope we get some good applications," she said when she was done. "I like the questions."

Re: First period, Library, 9/6

[agentthepaper]

"My timing sucks Thanks. I really appreciate it."

Period 2, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Now they're moved in and Damion has joined the army, while Martinique is trying her luck as an actress.

Too bad all the plants keep dying.

Period 3 Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela has saved the game and headed off to her computer class. Maybe someone else can help you?

Period 4, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

...and now she's back, and trying to convince the Sims they didn't want a baby.

They wanted a baby.

Angela sighed and settled in for simulated sleep deprivation.

Lunch, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela put the game on pause and ate some yogurt in the break room.

The fake baby, Frito, had turned into a very annoying little boy.

Marty swung by with goodies from J'GOB's. "Hey you. Up for a little lunch date?"

Re: Lunch, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

"Hey! I wouldn't object," Angela said, gratefully pausing the computer game, where Frito had just brought home a failing repport card. "What do you have?"

Re: Lunch, Library, 9/6

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Chicken salad on croissant, chips and a big dill pickle," Marty replied as he spread out the lunch. "And whatever choice of beverage you happen to have around since I forgot to drinks."

Period 5, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela's gotten bored with the first family and made another one.

Of course, Martinique seemed to have nothing better to do than flirt with the Michael Stipe-looking Sim.

It was like a soap opera.

Bridge wanders in to the library, killing time since he doesn't have any classes except Hunting, and that's not till last period.

"Hey, Angela."

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela saved her game and looked up. "Hey, Bridge. Looking for someplace quiet?"

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he smiles slightly. "I don't wanna be by myself, but I don't wanna be surrounded by people either, right now. So... library."

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

It's not that Door didn't realize there was a library here earlier - it's that it's taken her this long to twig that it's actually for use by the students. That in theory she can check books out and take them away with her. It's sort of like having free run of a pie shop, only less sticky.

She does wander up to the counter after a moment, though, as a bit of browsing confirms that she doens't entirely understand how everything's arranged here. Which would be when she spots the library aide applications.

"Excuse me," Door asks the girl behind the counter, "but what's the ...Dewey Decimal System? I know decimals are counting by tens, but after that I'm lost."

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

"It's a way to organize books," Angela said. "It sorts the nonfiction by topic areas. I think we have a handout about it somewhere."

She rummaged around under the desk before coming up with a slightly crumpled piece of paper. "Here it is. And the signs on the shelves show which books are where."

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[notajar]

"Thank you." Door studies the sheet, and nods slowly. "My father did that with his library, but it was much less detailed." She looks at the stacks with a combination of awe and covetousness. "Then again we had fewer books."

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Bridge smiles as he spots Door, giving her a fingerwiggle in greeting.

Re: Period 5, Library, 9/6

[notajar]

Door wiggles her fingers back, then asks, "Does that actually mean you want toast? Or that you're offering me some? Cally wasn't entirely clear about that."

Period 6, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

And now Martinique has married Michael Stipe -- and Angela had to admit, the wedding was pretty cool -- and Damion is doing the single father thing.

Too bad he would rather watch TV than go to work or play with his son.

Period 7, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

Angela is truly annoyed by all of her Sims now, so she's testing ways to kill them.

Having them swim until they die of exhaustion has a certain appeal.

OOC, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

All done.

Blah blah blah work after 1:30 = slowplay.

I liked the death by flying asteroid, but that wasonly in Sims 2.

Re: OOC, Library, 9/6

[chasingangela]

I never had Sims 2, woe. My favorites were to either set off the rocket toy in a small room for a fast death, or to lock them in a cell without a door, food, or anything to do if I really wanted to see the character suffer.
