Library [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shuffled into the library with her laptop and several notebooks as well as highlighters, pens, pencils, protractors, erasers, and textbooks.

She actually had homework to do again. Best time of the year.

[SP from me until around 2 PM EDT!]

Period 1 [09/07]

It was a bit early, so all Rory got accomplished was highlighting a few things in a notebook.

"Good morning, Rory," Yomiko said as she entered the library.

"Morning, Ms. Readman!" Rory said cheerfully, waving a highlighter contentedly.

"What are you up to this fine morning?" Yomiko called over her shoulder as she went into her office to leave her briefcase.

"Highlighting!" she said brightly. "I have notes that are un-highlighted! This has to be fixed."

Re: Period 1 [09/07]

"Oooh. How many colors are you using?"

Period 2 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

But now she'd moved on to copying things diligently from a textbook.

Willow stopped by before her 3rd period class. "Hey, Rory. Did I hear a rumor that applications for library aides are open?"

Re: Period 2 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You did!" Rory said, smiling and snagging one off the stack (http://agentthepaper.livejournal.com/1459.html) on the counter. "Are you going to apply?"

Re: Period 2 [09/07]

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Just try and stop me!" Willow said. She started filling the form out. "Do you think it would help if I included chocolate with my application?"

Re: Period 2 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It certainly wouldn't hurt," Rory told her seriously.

Re: Period 2 [09/07]

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow had totally come prepared for this eventuality. "How many candy bars do you think?"

Billy came in, thinking to take a look at the mythology section at least, and maybe some of the books from Lit class.

Period 3 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And of course, those notes had to be highlighted.

Period 4 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory couldn't believe she'd forgotten to write her name in all her books. That clearly needed to be corrected.

Lunch [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had a muffin, some cookies and a thermos of coffee. Totally a healthy lunch.

Period 5 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And now she was chewing on her pen and doing Google searches on things like, "How to tangle someone's cape so they trip," and "Sneaky revenge for dummies."

It wasn't going very well.

Period 6 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And woe, for Rory went to Ethics class during sixth period. Perhaps someone else was available to assist?

Re: Period 6 [09/07]

[agentthepaper]

But do not fear, for Ms. Readman was here to help!

Period 7 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was back. And wow, did she not look happy.

Door has a stack of books. Well, actually she has two stacks of books - she's returning The History of the Sweater and Dewey & the Decimals, Learning Games and Activities and checking out A comparative guide to the Library of Congress and Dewey decimal classification systems, Divided by a Common Language: A Guide to British and American English, and The Princess Bride by S. Morganstern (the non-abridged and boring version with more politics and lessy kissy parts, but she doesn't know that yet).

She also has a library aide application, which she brings up to the counter atop all of that. "Hello," she says quietly to Rory. "Am I meant to turn this in here? Or directly to the librarian?"

Re: Period 7 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh, here's fine," Rory says distractedly before glancing up and saying," Oh my God, you're the hurt girl from the sixth floor. Hi! Are you feeling all right?"

Re: Period 7 [09/07]

Door slides the application across the counter and does some quick mental arithmetic. "I am, yes, thanks. Would you be Rory?"

Re: Period 7 [09/07]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

She nods, taking the application. "How'd you know? I would've introduced myself but you were kind of big with the ow at the time."

"I was mostly out of it," Door admits. "Evie Carnahan said that you and Hermione and Seely took charge of things. And Bridge, of course - he was there when I woke up in the clinic." She smiles. "Thank you for that."
