[Oliver is sitting at a table in the Library, books all around him and a 2-inch Gandalf figurine sitting next to him, as if watching his progress. He has clearly turned the sphere on purposefully as he is looking directly at it, calmly and nonchalantly]Anyone ever see that episode of Stargate with the black hole? And that great scene in the Gate

No, it's not over yet. [ she smiles. ]

[oliverplus]

Hah, now that's what I wanna hear!

How are you doing?

[katsuragi_yako]

Better than yesterday. How're you, Oliver?

[oliverplus]

Getting bored! I mean, I love books, but... [yawns] This is reminding me of the night before a paper's due. It's not usually how I spend the end of a disaster. Normally there's a lot more running involved. [grins]

[goldenpine]

Good to see my drinkin' pal's as chipper as ever.

[oliverplus]

[grins] Did you expect any different?

But how are you doing, Rangiku?

[goldenpine]

[ she smiles, then shrugs. ] I'm not hedging bets. People can change under stress. people often do.

[ she looks more relaxes when she answers his question about her. ]

Me? Fine, dandy, doing more than I'll ever let anyone tell my Captain I was doing for the last few days.

[oliverplus]

[his grin slips, just for an instant, before he brings it back] Oh. Well, I don't have any special stress to be under! I know it's going to work out.

[raises an eyebrow] Getting diligent about work? You're right; that doesn't entirely sound like you! No offense.

...Nothing we're trying is working.

[oliverplus]

...okay. Can I help with anything? Got a crazy plan you need another set of hands for?
