Late at night

WARDED TO LUCAS, BASH, JADE, ZACH & LIBERTY

I went to Logan this afternoon. You can tell me off later, Bert.

I was hoping to find information about that muggle mining settlement in the muggle library there, but of course it wasn't very useful. And we've been through every halfway-relevant book in Gooseberry's library. I think if we want any hope of answers, whether it's about the ley lines or the ghosts or the doppelgängers, we're going to need a bigger library.

I'm GLAD you know I'm READY to LISTEN, but three of us ARE prefects and [...] Oh, who am I kidding

[...] I've already asked Ms. Petrichor to I.L.L us a few books, but [...] at THIS point, I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for. I wish I could BROWSE a collection.

Without oversight or the threat of being caught off-campus hanging over our heads.

Book Club??

[bubblewrapped]

Agreed. I have the 5 books about shapeshifters memorized at this point. Spring break is going to be our one chance to tap into larger resources.

Book Club??

[novelling]

Is there one in Atlanta?

Book Club??

[readingrainbows]

There's a magical library in Tacoma but it's MOSTLY for kids. They do have FOUR copies of Lad, A Dog though!

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

I don't think that's what we need.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[readingrainbows]

I don't know, I think MOST situations can be improved with a good boy and his dog story!!! [...] No, you're right. I love my library, but it's pretty much garbo for REAL research. Maybe there's something better [...] in Seattle? I could apparate there over break!

Come to New York with us. We'll need every set of hands we can get.

Book Club??

There's one big library in the magic parts of Atlanta. But our interests are sort of location specific. Not sure they'd have what we want on hand. Worth a look, tho.

Nerd Alert Book Club

I doubt Salt Lake City is any more of a bastion of magical knowledge than Logan is. If we can't go specific, maybe broad would be better? Where's the biggest library?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

Almost definitely New York. MACUSA stuff's all there.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

Oooh, a library behind enemy lines. We'll have to do a heist.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[odder]

Using their own knowledge against them. I like that.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

Adds to the intrigue. Knew my descent into a life of crime was inevitable. There's quick portkey access from Atlanta, and I was going to drag you guys up there, anyway, so.

i can make winnie take us to the student wing. she's got one of those passes from her college that lets her into the big, horrif researchy book stacks.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

That would be great. [...] You and I could [...] is there a magic version of microfiche? We could check that out, too.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

i know they got the regular version of microfiche? pretty much a gigantic amount of it. but i'm not sure if magic DOES that sort of sorting system.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

Weird to think that microfiche cannot be improved upon, even by magic. Well, still, maybe they'll have [...] news stories about jerk shapeshifters in Utah or something.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

i'm doubting it. unless they have an extensive backlog of the weekly world news.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

We might have to hit up the Men in Black headquarters for that.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[odder]

And all I did in Logan was concern a store clerk about my three kids at home.
Looking further on break is a good idea too.
I wonder if there’s anything about it on the line the internet.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

And how are the little angels?

We can check.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[odder]

Oh, nightmares. They might be possessed and Marigold will only eat orange foods this week.
You should teach me how to use it.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

I will. It's not terribly difficult, once you get a hang on typing.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[ghostbluster]

I appreciate you being candid, though I feel obligated to say that I hope you took a buddy with you on your illicit hike, all considering. Knowledge is important, but so is safety.

I agree, though. There's nothing left in our library that we haven't all poured over, Logan's library isn't much better, and trying to borrow books from other libraries has been a tedious, hit or miss endeavor. What did you have in mind?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

You'll be happy to know I had half of Azurcrest house with me.

Lucas suggested the MACUSA library in New York. It'd be a lot of ground to cover, but maybe we could each take a topic of interest and focus on that. Cast a wider net.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[readingrainbows]

[...] Maybe a LITTLE less than HALF, right?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[bubblewrapped]

Part of our natural camouflage is making it impossible to tell how many of us are actually there.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[ghostbluster]

Impressive that you all didn't get caught, but I guess Azurcrest does live up to its name.

You want me to go too?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

i'm pretty sure they all just merge into one, adult-passing bird when attempting to engage in shenanigans.

Re: Nerd Alert Book Club

[ghostbluster]

That explains a lot. What's our bear power?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

using twenty words when maybe three would do the job.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[novelling]

Grandiloquence.

Nerd Alert Book Club

[readingrainbows]

You're downright circumlocutory!!!

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

don't know how elegant my words are personally, but i make up for it in flavor.

Re: Nerd Alert Book Club

[ghostbluster]

Oh. Is that a power?

Nerd Alert Book Club

[professionalcorpse]

kind of a d-list one. but we can make it count.
