Getting everyone dressed and over to Greendale is a bit of a hassle, and the fact that they're probably going to have to eat in the cafeteria because there was no time to eat before they went worries Britta a little, given the level of disposable income she has (very, very low). All the same, there's a strange sense almost of relief as she steps

"How do we do that?" she asked, although she wasn't addressing Britta directly. The question was aimed at the room at large. At anyone within a hundred miles who could answer that.

Of course, it's a community college in Colorado and not UCLA, but Fred was still expecting quite a bit more. "I don't think we're going to figure out much of anything here," she says, frowning. From the looks of it, the library isn't much of a library, and something tells her that she isn't going to find many books on multi-verse theory or books with the right incantations here.

Except she kept looking around anyway, hoping the others would show up (and before Jeff, so she could at least tell them to keep their pity party to themselves, god, this was going to be awkward). "You think it'd be better if we drive into Denver and find a bigger library?"

They'd be in some creepy back room where people sacrificed goats or whatever.
"We'd have to steal them," she decided. "If they exist."

Maybe Wesley even would have helped.

It never works the way he wants it to work. He knows Britta spots him the second he turns the corner, which makes the retreating he wants to do when he spots Kate impossible.
"Crap," he muttered under his breath, because it figured of everyone it'd be someone he knew. It just figured. Still, he approached as though everything was cool, because maybe she forgot what he told her only once a while ago. It was possible. Catching the tail end of the conversation, he just injected himself into it in hopes of keeping it on that and not on himself. "This is Greendale. You'll be lucky to find books that ( ... )

Jeff looks familiar though, like maybe Fred has seen him in the rec room or in the kitchen on the island or something.

"I - wait, no, that'd be even worse," he realized, rolling his eyes at himself for even considering just going along with the assumption. Not that Britta would have gone along with the lie, even if he did. "Weird. I guess I forgot to tell you there was just an...issue with my diploma I'm working out here when I mentioned what what I did. I'm still a lawyer, though, don't get me wrong. I wasn't disbarred or anything."
And really, that was what counted.

"So... books?" she asked, because she was about ready to try that, even if they had to find a secret section with the books on this sort of stuff and steal them.

Fred reaches over and pulls a book from the nearest shelf and makes a face. She'd been hoping for ancient books and all, but this one on anthropology is really outdated.
"...I kinda wish they'd change, though."

"What kind of book are we even looking for?" he asked. Because being sent to an island against their will sounded like something that should send them straight to the crappy fiction section.

She probably shouldn't have said anything at all to begin with.
