Belthazor knew he shouldn't care, but he did. He hadn't seen Phoebe in any classes all week. He had no idea where she was or how she was. She wasn't, as far as he knew, hiding out in her room (not that he'd called or anything, fully prepared to hang up should she answer -- which she didn't). He shouldn't care, but part of him did. He had done what he'd done to push her out of his head and still she lingered there. It was driving him crazy.

He had to know, at least, if she was okay and that she hadn't run off and done anything rash. Maybe that would relieve some of the guilt he was feeling. He knew she shared her room in the East Attic with Rogue and Kitty. Though he wasn't really acquainted with them, maybe if he headed in the direction of their rooms he might run into them and find out where Phoebe was.




[OOC: Anyone's welcome to run into him for RP if they wish -- save me from work. ;) ]

"To the library, actually," she said. "I get class credit for working there." Janet held up her book. The cover was green and black with a slightly disorienting design on it. "An Introduction to Genetic Engineering," she said. "I'm kind of a geek." Her grin was cheerful and she didn't look in the least bit ashamed of it. "What's dragging you out of bed at this disgusting hour?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Genetics, huh? That's way over my head," he admitted, peering at the book. "I'm barely passing bio as it is, I think. History's more my thing. And dead languages. And in answer to your question, I'm stalking my ex-girlfriend I have a polysci class in a bit."

[janet_fraiser]

"To each their own is a cliche for a reason, I guess," said Janet, slipping the book into her backpack. "Bio's a little too easy, but I didn't sign up in time for it during either of the enrollments, so I'm doing more of a self-study kind of thing. So, history and dead languages, huh? Are you taking any classes from Dr. Jackson? You'd probably like him. He knows all kinds of dead languages."

[demonbelthazor]

He shook his head. "No, I saw his classes posted, but it was after I had already registered for mine. I'm really good at Latin, and I know some others, too. So I'll see what he offers next semester." He paused, then continued, "Any good books in that vein in the library? I've heard things about the special collection."

[janet_fraiser]

"I'd put money on you liking it," said Janet. "He's an archaeologist, so dusty rocks artifacts and languages are his specialty."

"Books on Latin, you mean?" asked Janet. "Or history in general? The main library's got a lot of stuff. Special Collections has practically everything else, but it's kind of a crazy place. Also, access tends to be restricted, though you can check a book out of there if it's not labelled dangerous." Janet squinted for a minute, like she was trying to remember something. "Who was it? Like that girl Piper? She was looking for books on cooking, and believe it or not, we found one in there for her. Who ever would have thought cookbooks would be in Special Collections?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Must be some special kind of cooking," Belthazor said. Interesting....potion making, maybe? "So what does somebody have to do to get access to the Special Collections? I'd like to take a look at it some day if I could. I like weird rare history books. My foster dad's got a lot of those that I used to read."


[OOC: Have to run to meeting, but will be back in an hour or so.]

[janet_fraiser]

Janet shrugged. "I haven't the faintest idea what kind of cooking it was. Actually, I should look up her number. She promised me cooking lessons in exchange for math tutoring." She shifted her backpack. "If you're not looking for something for a professor that you're working for? Figure out what books you want and then hope the librarian's in a good mood that day."

Janet grinned ruefully. "He's very rarely in a good mood, but you could try bribing him with coffee. He's an addict."

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor grinned. "Thanks for the tip. The power of caffeine is not to be underestimated. I can probably even get my hands on some good stuff he's never tried before."

[janet_fraiser]

"Wait, new caffeine?" Janet perked up. "That sounds disturbingly fun."

OOC: Darn you and your evil ways! ;)

[demonbelthazor]

He chuckled. "I'll have to see what I can come up with then. We've got some rather unique blends back home."


[OOC: Mmmm, demon coffee! ;) ]

[janet_fraiser]

"Where are you from, anyway?" asked Janet curiously. "Someplace normal, or one of the stranger worlds? I always wonder, given that we have about the most diverse student body ever."

[demonbelthazor]

"One of the, ah, stranger ones," he admitted. "It doesn't really have much of a name. We call it the Underworld on account of it being, well, underground." He made a face. "Not a very exciting place, actually."
