Welcome To St. B's!

[Ezra du Pont]

Though he normally ate in the library, back in his office, Ezra decided to change up his routine today, as he was known to do. So, with a paper-bagged lunch in hand, Ezra sat silently on one of the couches in the lounge, his food still in the bag beside him on the left on the couch, completely untouched.

Instead, Ezra's computer lay in his lap, and all of his attention focused solely on that. He was looking at (what else?) books online, and salivating over all the possibilities with the budget for the year. More copies of Shakespeare's works, some poetry anthologies... Ezra stared longingly at the Charlotte Brontė selection, from Jane Eyre to The Professor.

His short fingers flew across the keyboard with ease and a little bit of chaos, typing the last names of authors, the titles of books, and keywords in the genres to look up his favorites, or the list of suggested books that lay to his right. He crossed out the books that were definitely impossible; too expensive, really, or Ezra thought that the books were complete shit. Either way, he wouldn't be ordering the ones blacked out with his ever-present Sharpie. Next on the list, Ezra marked books that were must-needed with red, ones that he thought were of high (ut lesser) importance in blue, green for whatever was left over, and ink for the ones that didn't really matter. All of his notes were color-boded and organized, which paralleled some of his colleagues quite nicely.

Licking his lips, Ezra reached over to his bagged lunch and pulled out the bag of vegetables he'd packed: baby carrots and sugar-snapped peas, his two favorite. He grabbed one from the bag blindly, not bothering to look away from the webpage in front of him. He scrolled down the page as he chewed thoughtfully, calculating the number of books he could rake in, plus how many books he could restore the stock of. Cheerfully, Ezra stuffed another baby carrot in his mouth and chewed in silent bliss.

[Elka du Pont]

Elka walked into the library her hunter green heels making a soft clicking noise on the floor, and slightly lighter green dress swirling around her knees. The dress had a corset and did up with black ribbions along the left side. Her hair was pulled back with a white butterfly clip.

She saw her brother and tryed to make her steps quieter, a feat quite deservable of mention, she was a foot away and as far as she could tell he hadn't noticed her yet. When she was quite close she stifled a giggle and in a loud voice said
"BOO" hoping to make her brother jump. She knew most people could not get away with it but she could.

Her eyes snapped for a second to her brothers lunch, she internally sighed he was always so healthy; but then so was she but Elka at least pretended to be unhealthy like a chocolate bar rapped in seran wrap that's organic and fat free.

She wonderded briefly if she had closed and locked the library after she had been in there looking for Ezra but she found she couldn't remember. She remembered walking in and seeing it deserted and checking his office and finding that just as empty and leaving to see if he was outside. She bit her lip whoops she thought, Well here's hoping no one wanders in a burns all the books It was a somewhat joking thought buta fairly large part of her heart felt physical pain at the thought of even one page being dog-eared
