Sept. 5th: Just Some Light Reading

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:43 am

Wandering into the Plume Library with a small bag over her shoulder, Veronica looks around with a relaxed expression. Libraries were one of her favorite places, and what made this library interest her even more was it's supposed collection of rare books. She knew somewhat was she was looking for, but was a bit unsure as to if they actually had anything like it. She began to stroll over to the main desk.

Will, meanwhile, had been spending some time in the history section--a bit of an odd place for him, but it worked, notwithstanding.

Once she reached the desk, she began to ask the librarian a few questions. She nodded when being told the answers to them, and judging by her reaction she fully expected it to be that way. Nevertheless, she wrote down the places to find a few of what they *did* have available. Thanking the librarian, she made her way to the history section.

Will, browsing the history of Ireland, nearly crashed into her walking around a corner.

"Woah! I'm sorry about that!"

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 1:55 am

"Oh!" Stoping fast, she waves a hand. "No no, it is quite alright!" She looks him over and smiles. "Ah, I remember you from zee orientation! I...can't say I remember your name, however. Bad memory, my apologies."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 3:14 pm

"Will. It was Will," Will smiled. "V...eronica, yes?"

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 6:32 pm

"Will! Zat was it. Sank you. And yes, Veronica. You remembered! Now I just feel silly." She chuckles a bit, looking around. "You were doing some research?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 7:02 pm

"Just browsing. There's so much I don't know about the history of this place...all the British Isles, really."

"Zen zee library is one off zee best places to learn it, I suppose. Personally I believe zat zee first hand knowledge is better zan in second hand books, but we can not always have zat, non?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:06 pm

"Very difficult, especially when it comes to history. Unless you're our professor."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:10 pm

"Zere are ways it can be not so difficult. And zee professor? What about zem?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:20 pm

"Oh, he claims to be, like, a million years old and stuff, that's all. He's got quite a collection of things, from what I hear."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:33 pm

"A million years..." She blinks a few times. "Zis is not possible, is it? And...he has a collection?" Her eyes light up.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:38 pm

"Yeah. All kinds of old trinkets and things."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:46 pm

"Does...does he let anyone see them?" She asks hopefully.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:52 pm

"Eh, not that I know of. I think he does for his classes though. I think one of his students is working on a special project or something?" Will shrugged. "He used to deny everything, but less so now."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:10 pm

"Any specific era?" She really couldn't contain her excitement.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 11:18 pm

"Oh, he's got lots of weird Egyptian stuff, and he used to drive a Trabant, so it's really quite varied."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 11:32 pm

"Is he normally in his office after classes? I'd like to speak wis him."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 08, 2014 12:35 am

"I think he is, yeah--he's in the main building, normally. You'll find him there most afternoons, I think, unless he's sleeping.

I rarely spend much time in the admin office anymore, unless I'm going to tell Sam...er, the headmistress something."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Wed Oct 08, 2014 2:21 am

"You have been here in Maldon long?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 2:56 am

"This will be my....third year, actually. Looks like I'm a UK-er for life."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 6:26 am

"Sree years, wow. Do you have a specific major?" She looks back to the history section, then to him. "History?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 4:19 pm

"No, actually, this is just for fun. I'm actually a theater major, or as much of one as you can be at a school with a very small department."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:02 pm

"Oh! It is wonderful to know zat zee arts are still looked after even in a University wis superhero work, non?" She chuckles. "Do you set up any musicals or performances? Or do you only study?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 10:35 pm

"Honestly, there's not enough people here for a full-on production of anything exciting. I've picked up a couple commercial roles in the past, but my life recently has been, erm, hectic."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 4:53 am

"From what I hear, zat is normal around here, is it not?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:51 pm

"I think mine's been a bit outside of your regular window, but yeah--normal is not an option here."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 8:30 pm

"I sink in zee end it depends on what one's definition of 'normal' is."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:39 pm

"Yeah, whatever yours is, I don't match up," Will laughed.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:54 pm

"I am unsure I even have a definition. I sink I am more off an observer off sings zan actually participating. To me, normal is undefinable I suppose since zere are so many different possibilities."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:56 pm

"And you'll find all of them around here," he chuckled.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 11:01 pm

She laughs. "Well it should be interesting zen. I haf no worries."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 11:04 pm

"Glad to hear you're settling in."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 11:11 pm

She smiles and nods. "I am trying. It is very different from Nice, I admit. But...I sink a *good* kind off different."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 1:45 am

"Oh? More than just the weather, is it? Because Nice has one up on us there."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 5:57 am

"I admit I agree wis you zere. However, yes, it is more than just zee weather. It is nice to be able to be around oders who understand our situations. Before, I had friends zat dropped me as soon as word spread off my blood results. Mais, here..." She looks around with a smile. "Being able to be myself truly and utterly is refreshing."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 3:30 pm

"Yes! Yes, that, exactly. You get it," Will nodded vigorously.

"Even here, sometimes you have people who take offense to things, but they're the exception rather than the rule, at least on campus."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 8:39 pm

"Zat is good to know. Zough, I do not expect to have any reason or mesod to offend someone." She chuckles a bit. "I assume it is difficult to do zat?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 10:59 pm

"You'd be surprised! I'm afraid I've gotten on some people's bad sides while I've been here."
