BOOK EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[temptedthesnake]

Who: EVA and you.
What: Library log.
Where: ...the library.
When: September 5th to October 3rd, 8AM-5PM. Closed on Sundays.
Warnings: So many books.

[The library is a mega huge, brick building somewhere on campus. 3 floors of SO MANY BOOKS!

• If you would be so kind, please put the date and the time and/or time of day in the subject or an OOC note at the top or bottom of your comment.
Keep in mind your librarian is a super creepy Patriot spy, but she can't be in two places at once; please check the other logs before picking a time/date.

• The library opens at 8 in the morning and closes around 5 in the evening. EVA is in and out throughout the day, but mostly in. The library is closed on Sundays.

• Add an OOC note for solo logs. ALSO! logs between two (or more) characters (not including EVA) in the library is cool/encouraged!

• Prose or action are fine. Whatever you're more comfortable with. Although I am faster with action tags!

• Kindly tag yourself!

NOW GET AFTER IT!]

[Mei Ling, for the life of her couldn't find a particular book she wanted online. Beside, it was probably easier to look for the paper version in the library. So there she goes walking up to the librarian's counter.]

Excuse me? Anybody in?

[temptedthesnake]

[EVA had been in another part of the library when her librarian senses began to tingle. Alright, so she heard Mei Ling's voice echoing from the first floor. She made her way back to the front desk.]

What can I help you with?

[140-96.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for...

[She grew a bit hesitant as she remembered the book that she was looking for.]

... In the Darkness of Shadow Moses by Nastasha Romanenko.

[temptedthesnake]

[And that reigns in her attention. She focuses on the woman's face for a second or two, wondering what she could possibly need that book for. But she just smiles and nods at Mei Ling.]

Non-fiction is on the second floor. If you'd like me to show you precisely where the historic non-fiction is, I can.

[She stands, ready to guide the other woman. EVA damn near has the exact location of that book in the library memorized...]

[140-96.livejournal.com]

I know this is a slightly odd request for an odd and old book but... I've lost my copy of it. I couldn't find any copies on the internet.

[Mei Ling looks off to the side. She gestures for EVA to lead the way to the aforementioned historic non-fiction section.]

If you could show the way, I'd really appreciate it.

[The best thing about being a security guard: being able to slip into places when he shouldn't and using the excuse of 'protection of the area'.

Planting his ass on the librarian's desk probably isn't a good way to do it, though. Oops. Don't mind the man named after a mallard just chilling where he shouldn't, EVA.]

[temptedthesnake]

[Honestly, finding the library's front doors unlocked before she arrived was actually pretty startling. With Raikov being back, EVA was on high alert again.

But it was just Goose. And so EVA was pretty annoyed.]

How'd you get in here before I did?

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

I've got keys for this whole building, remember?

[He shrugged and reclined, using a nearby stack of books on the desk as a pillow.]

I was checking everything out. Makin' sure there's no intruders. Kinda my job.

this is the only icon appropriate for dealing with goose

[temptedthesnake]

Off the desk.

[She picks up a book and whacks him in the head with it.]

And thanks so much for looking out for me.

it... really is ghjkdshjkg

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[He gets off and just gives her this look.]

... You really think that's gonna do anything to me?

[He points to his hair. It's like a protective helmet or something okay. Look at how stiff it is.]

Insert day here, afternoon

Nephenee had been learning to read since she moved here, but so far she was only at maybe on a third grader's level, or so Goose said. This was unacceptable, she had decided (after she had found out what a third grader was), so she marched down to the library one day after class, grabbed a few books from each section, and sat herself down at a table, settling down for a few hours of reading...
...
...
Oh crap, she got lost already. What in Yune's name was a...H-O-B-B-I-T? And why was she...con...cerning herself with them?
After a few words, he looked up, frantically searching for someone to help.

[temptedthesnake]

EVA just so happened to be in the area- reshelving a small stack of classic fiction novels- when Nephenee had settled down with her books. The librarian couldn't help but glance over at her as she opened the first page of her book.

"Need some help?" she asked, smiling.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Nephenee looked over to her, and nodded frantically, eye wide with confusion. "Y-yeah. I...I can't read that well, and I don't understand this here book." She held up the book for EVA to see.

[temptedthesnake]

For a beginner, Nephenee had picked quite the book. EVA walked over, making herself comfortable on the arm of the chair Neph was settled into. She looked over the cover of the book and wondered what would be the best way to phrase what she wanted to say...

"If you're new to reading, maybe you should start with something a little easier than The Lord of the Rings," she replied, maintaining her helpful smile.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

"Well, it had nice drawings on it, so I figured it might be easy ta read. Like a kid's book, ya know?"

Sept 10th, 8 am

Cyrus had been there for most of the week, burying himself in books of the world. But this time was different. Rather than going to the reference or science books, he headed for the science fiction section, taking a book called "The World Set Free (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Set_Free)" off the shelf, holding it as if it was an ancient artifact for a moment before heading off with it towards the seating area.

Any day, Noon

Peach walked in to return a small pile of books. She's quite the regular. Hello EVA.

[temptedthesnake]

There were two girls who frequented the library that always put a smile on the librarian's face. One of them was petite, pale, and had a flower bud braided neatly into her hair. The other was taller, blonder, and standing right in front of her that afternoon.

"Good afternoon, Princess."

[pink-shroom.livejournal.com]

"Afternoon, EVA," Peach responded with a smile of her own. She came to both chat and do business. She'll do business in just one second. "You seem well this afternoon, are you fairing okay?"

She placed the books on the counter.

[temptedthesnake]

"I'm doing fine, thanks. Yourself?" EVA grabbed the first book from the stack, examining the cover. "And these are for return, right?" she asked, setting it down on her side of the desk and scooting back to rifle through her cabinet of files.

[Surge didn't often venture into the library, but he needed a few books for his class. So there he was. In the library. Staring around and looking rather lost.]

Damn... I forgot how big this place was...

[temptedthesnake]

[EVA just so happened to be nearby to hear Surge's comment. And suddenly, there was a blonde woman behind the veteran.]

A lot of people do. It looks quite as big on the outside. Need help finding something?

[badasstrenches.livejournal.com]

[Turning, he nodded at the woman.]

Yeah, actually I do. Mind helpin' me find the history section? I'd try to find it myself, but I'd probably just get lost.

[temptedthesnake]

History? Sure. [She smiles, then motions for Surge to follow her to the closest staircase.]

It's easy to get lost in here... I've gotten lost myself a few times.

[badasstrenches.livejournal.com]

[Following~]

Really? You get lost?

[He chuckled.]

A librarian gettin' lost in a library. Now there's something you don't expect to hear.
