Room 402, Evening

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Wesley walks briskly down the hall. He's a bit white around the nostrils. He opens his door, walks in -- in no way stomping --, closes the door, throws open his trunk, grabs a book, and throws himself down on the bunk with it.

Somebody rude enough to look closely would see that it appears to be a photostat of The Necronomicon.

Shit! He looks at his watch and realizes it's time for Fencing Club. He throws the book down on the bed, grabs his fencing bag, and heads for the gym.

(ooc: Um, is Wes supposed to be able to have that yet?)

[[As the librarian, might I enquire how you got that? Particularly since photocopiers don't work inside Special Collections... and you didn't manage to get back the dragons assistants to get in there, anyway....]]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

('Photostat'.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

(Unless books fall under the weapons policy, and I don't think they do, he brought it with from home. In-character, you don't know about it.)

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

[[Sorry! I can work with that. Carry on... ]]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

(I think that better describes your actions tonight than mine.)

[swerval_zero]

(ooc: First off, I don't think we even allow photocopies to be taken out of SC, especially if it's a dangerous book, but it's not spelled out in the rules so that can slide.

But he doesn't even have a library card yet.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

(See my reply to Methos. It's not from your library at all. It's never been near your library.)

Wesley returns from the salle, showers, grabs the book and tosses it in the trunk, and goes to sleep. His roommate hasn't showed all evening, not that he's complaining.

*Comes in and flops on the bed, firing up the laptop... the Sims have been neglected for far too long... Notices roommate on his own bed.*


Wow, roommie... bad day?

"Are ALL the women --I can't honestly say 'ladies'-- at this school insane?"

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

If there are a few without actual diagnoses, then I supose the answer would be 'no'. However, I have found that it makes life *much* simpler to go from the basis that they are and then adjust if you find a pleasant surprise that one isn't.

Is there someone in particular that provokes this question?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Wesley sits up straight. "A gentleman doesn't talk about a lady by name." He rather spoils the effect by adding "The library staff are unbelievably rude."

OOC

Oops; aren't we backdating, and if so, isn't that illegal?

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

True, but you've already said that you couldn't call whoever this is a 'lady'. So spill. :)

And I've generally found that the internet helps people avoid the library. It's kind of a handy little tool. If you need to borrow my laptop, just let me know.

[ooc: actually we're wrapping up a thread that I didn't see last night because I went to bed. Since, so far, we're the only two involved, it shouldn't be a problem.]

Coolness. [/paranoia]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

I came in and requested a book. The library assistants, Miss Zero, Miss Parker, and Miss Fraiser, ignored my request in favor of completely meaningless banter. When I took offense, they insulted me and refused to perform their appointed duties. And the librarian took their side!

Thank you very much for the offer; however, I doubt the Internet would have what I'm looking for.

How was your evening?

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Hm... Janet - Miss Fraser - isn't generally like that. Parker's... well, Parker, and I don't know Zero. But that's kind of odd for Janet.

You could always go to the Dean if it gets out of line.

My evening was... boring. Did homework, watched the tube. Boring.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Have you heard anything about Professor Jareth? He hasn't given classes for at least a week, and that, coupled with the recent unpleasantnesses, is disturbing.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Hm... I don't have any classes with him, so I hadn't noticed. But I'll keep an ear out.

I'm relatively certain locker 327 ate a friend of mine a few months ago.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Dear God. Did they ever recover the body?

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

No, that's why I'm only 'relatively certain', but noone's heard from him since sometime in September.

So steer clear, you know?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Absolutely. Thank you for the warning.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Anytime. So... did you ever get your book? What book were you looking for?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

"Hm? Oh, nothing. A copy of this." He waves the book he was reading before Wes came in. "Dry as dust, really. I can't think why they were making such a pother about it."

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Bookworms, go figure.


[ooc: I'm assuming there are just a few brain-blips in that post and that Wes isn't drunk or possessed or anything. :)]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

[[ooc: If there are any brain-blips in there, they're mine. :stares blearily: Looks fine to me. 'Pother' is a real word.]]

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Okay, that was one - seemed like it should be 'bother' and I think you meant 'before Shep came in'. ;)]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

[[ooc: braaaaaaains. I have none.]]

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

[ooc: LOL! Should we alert Rover to a return of the zombies to campus? :)]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

[[ooc: not unless Rover makes side trips to cubicle farms in the real world. Wesley's fine, brain like a steel, er, really brainy thing, it's me has the problem.]]

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

[lol... can you imagine the look on your co-worker's faces? :)]
