Genessia: Library

[Belle felt like she had gotten back into the pattern of things being somewhat normal. Minus the fact she had to move out for comfort reasons. But her patterns and habits were slowly getting back to the norm for the most part. One of the norms is working for the library, placing books back, scanning them when they are checked out and making sure the computer is aware which ones are there and how many are.

However today was the day she was adding a few more, so sitting at the computer at the front desk, she was busy scanning the new books, checking the computer to see of they go in. When she was satisfied she went and placed the book at the side. If anyone needs help, she can usually be found at the front desk for most of the day dealing with the books. Otherwise she can either be found putting books back, or sitting at a desk and quietly writing something down.]

[Joseph wanders through the library looking a little shell-shocked. It's the first time he's been in a normal one during his free time in a long time. And it was so...normal. There were no books chained to the walls or mysterious floating candles letting off purple light. Not even the hoarse wheezes of the librarian who was invisible--though some said he used to look like some demonic ape.

Instead there is a young woman... a rather pretty one, sitting at a desk. Joseph...might be staring at her a little without meaning to. Sorry about that]

[She had placed a book to the side, about to reach over and grab the next one when she finally looked up. A little surprised to say the least. She would have thought she would have paid more attention.]

Hello. Can I help you?

[ironforged]

Oh... uh... sorry... [his ears go red and he scratches the side of his nose]

You... work here? [probably a dumb question all things considered]

[namemeansbeauty]

Yes, I'm one of the two librarians.

[Which seemed simple enough to say at least.]

Are you looking for a book?

[ironforged]

[at least she didn't seem to notice his awkwardness... Or was kind enough not to say so]

Um...what do you recommend?

[namemeansbeauty]

It depends on what type of book you like?

Fiction or Non-Fiction?

[Best to start there at least.]

[ironforged]

Ahhh [hmm] Fiction... Something... warming.

[namemeansbeauty]

So fiction where the ending is happy and positive? There are many like that, I must admit.

[ironforged]

Ah yeah happy but... you know not... [gestures vaguely] Hallmark Special.

[namemeansbeauty]

Hallmark Special? Sorry if I say I don't think I quite understand what you mean?

[ironforged]

O-oh uh... you know... sappy ending... happily ever after sort of thing...

[namemeansbeauty]

Then what kind of happy is there if not for that?

[ironforged]

A realistic one... Bittersweet I guess. Too happy endings are...well...just... [he shrugs, nudging his foot against the carpet] Silly.

[namemeansbeauty]

But they are a possibility, even if they are as you put it... silly.

[She had started to walk down the shelves, checking out various books she thinks would suit.]

There are however a few that fit the bill at least.
