The books were misbehaving again.

This unto itself wasn't really anything strange, no. But it was annoying. Somehow, all of the writing on the covers had vanished overnight, leaving a library full of books with no titles, no authors, nothing to identify them by unless one actually opened the book up and started reading for, at the very least, some ( Read more... )

Tip had been planning to spend two weeks at home before coming back for the summer sessions. But then J.Lo had insisted on a "quick trip" to New Boovworld which, as always, ended up with them getting shot at. It'd been quite the close shave ( Read more... )

The smaller books were running around chasing each other. Lucille just ignored them. She had found a large book that accepted staying on the desk and being read, and that kept her occupied. Perhaps she would be able to catch some of the smaller ones later; some of them seemed interesting, and she planned to have a quiet evening reading in bed. She ( Read more... )

"Tonight, J.Lo." Tip was on the phone. And had been literally all day. J.Lo wasn't sure why she hadn't come home the very instant she was done with classes. "I'm not avoiding you. No, I'm not avoiding Mom either. And it wasn't Pig's or Lincoln's faults. Because I have a job, that's why. I will totally be home in time for us to drive to New ( Read more... )

Ahsoka somehow had a tiara dangling off one montral, and was alternatively nursing a cup of caf and meditating off too many cups of spiked punch, but there was no thumping, so this weekend was looking better than the last.

Given that she'd mainly wanted to stay in bed and read, though, it turned out to take little effort to convince herself to get dressed, find herself something to eat, and go to ( Read more... )

Peridot was still a little perturbed that her great find over the weekend - a whole binder that said it contained information on the machinery of the island! - had been empty when she'd opened it. In part because, so help her, she'd been excited to do something actually helpful, and also because it meant... well... the organization in the non- ( Read more... )

Khadgar was very glad that the weirdness from over the weekend seemed to have been taken care of, but it meant there were a lot more books than usual to be put away this morning. He was trying not to get distracted by looking at them, but giant animals were kind of fascinating ( Read more... )

Tip was pretty sure there was already a team of intrepid adventurers out there working to fix things on the island, but that didn't mean they wouldn't potentially need more information, so she made sure to have extra coffee on hand just in case ( Read more... )

"So... where are the eggheads ( Read more... )
