Sunday Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter was sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in front of him and a box of cookies from J. GOB.  He'd found some Coca-Cola (and still couldn't get over the fact it came in cans now) and was flipping through the channels on the TV.

Oooh, war movie.  That looked interesting.  The planes looked familiar too.  Peter sat forward in his seat as the title rolled.  Rescuing Corproral Smith?  Did they make movies about World War II now?


OOC: open for all of course but especially saltandammo

"Oh. That's... great," Dean said, some of his bafflement at the level of glee for a library coming through.

"That's where they keep the books," she added, just in case he needed help seeing why this would be exciting.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Books." He paused. "Yay, reading."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" she beamed as though he'd just agreed with her.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

He couldn't help it, he grinned back. She was infectious. "Congratulations on your newfound ability to acquire even more books."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Special Collections," Willow said. "The good stuff. At least it'd better be or else I'm going to make this face - " she pouted " - and possibly write a sternly worded letter about false advertising."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm taking that we're not talking about the secret porn stash here."

Not according to Logan and Xander "I don't think so," Willow said. "More like the books that have actual knowledge in them."

She followed this up with a look that she hoped conveyed wink-wink-nudge-nudge to a fellow demon fighter, but she could've also just been coming off like she was hungry.

Ah, those kinds of books. "I guess I'll know who to come to then when I need some actual knowledge then," he said with a wink.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"If you're very nice," Willow replied.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "Sweetheart, I can be as nice as you want me to be." He paused, wondering if... "Actually, I might have a hypothetical question that someone with actual knowledge might be able to give me a hypothetical answer to."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oo!" she sat up straighter. "I might hypothetically know someone who could do that."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Say someone hypothetically needed some kind of... panic button. Or some kind of monitoring spell or talisman or something. Nothing too invasive or anything, but that if the someone who has it were to, say, get attacked or kidnapped or something, it would... let a designated alarm raiser know." Dean stopped, hoping that that was clear enough for Willow to understand without actually giving away any secrets he wasn't supposed to.

"Oo, well somebody could try combining a protection and a locator spell," Willow said. "Or a communication spell combined with an item of protection and maybe a little bit of mint because communication spell components can smell like nobody's business though I've always felt if they were combined with privacy items there could be - "

Willow realized she was babbling. In public. She gave a sheepish grin. "Hypothetically?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean slowly smiled widely. "I think I've found the right girl for the job. Hypothetically."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Should said girl hypothetically keep her eyes open for such hypothetical subjects while she's hypothetically in the library tomorrow?" Willow asked.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely. In a completely hypothetical way."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"She could hypothetically do that."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"In that case, I'd be hypothetically grateful."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Then you could hypothetically count on it."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "I just have to say, Willow, that you're my kind of girl."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow blushed. "Thanks. These days I'm normally nobody's kind of girl. I like your way better. It's a change of pace."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad. Though it makes me wonder about everyone else. Someone as pretty, smart, interesting and... hypothetically talented should be everyone's kind of girl."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Well, possibly. But wouldn't that also make her hypothetically slutty?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Only if everyone was her kind of guy," Dean told her. "Otherwise she's just... hot. Hypothetically."
