December Library Catch-All [ OPEN ]

WHO: John, Harold, and anyone who might find themselves at the Library
WHEN: December
WHERE: The Library!
WHAT: The Library is here and open to all! Come borrow books, find a comfy chair to relax in, or snoop around.
NOTES\WARNINGS: Will be added as they come up

The Library is a five-story neoclassical building of terra cotta, brick, and stone. And the inside is, in fact, a library! And rather clean and organized too. There's no dust, no muddy footprints (apart from your own), and all the shelves are organized by Dewey Decimal, subject, and author. All literature is something you might find in a 2010 New York City library: various forms of fiction, children's and teens' sections, history, science, cooking, gardening, the list goes on. There's even small sections of audiobooks on compact disks and of DVDs ranging from old classics to history shows. The first floor has a reading/study room, a comfortable space with deep armchairs and tables with chairs; the fifth floor has some smaller tables clustered under a skylight. Part of the second floor is abruptly closed off by a door with a biometric scanner that denies entry to anyone who isn't John Reese or Harold Finch; the walls surrounding this section are soundproofed, so even a keen listener won't hear anything from inside. Otherwise, it's a perfectly normal library!

Will you take the blame if I do?

[ Can he even lift it? Hm - well, he isn't that weak??? T-B-D. ]
heavensnight: (Yeah I know)

[she widens her eyes in mock offense.]

Make a girl fall on the sword for you? Besides [she starts looking at her nails] I doubt they'd believe I picked up the chair and did it. Dainty little thing like me and a man like you.

[she does not add any adjective to Vincent on purpose. just that he is, indeed, a man.]

How heavy is that chair.

[ It is more of a statement than a question as he walks down the stairs to check out what they are dealing with - and also as he's going down the stairs, he realizes he would have to carry the chair up them.

... hm. Much to think about. ]
heavensnight: (Don't embarrass me motherfucker)

They look like regular chairs. But this isn't a regular door so property damage might be on the list.

[and she shouldn't encourage it but Vincent doing this would be hilarious.]

What are they gonna do? Put me in jail?

[ It is what he calls from down the stairs as he drags a chair to the stairs. It isn't that heavy but whatever.

The issue more comes when he starts to go up the steps and slips. Chair ends up landing on him and trapping his ankle (he just got that healed!!!) between the gaps and slips down to where he is sitting on one of the steps. ]


Well... it isn't heavy. [ But now he doesn't have any leverage to get up. ]
heavensnight: (Don't prove I'm right)

[this is probably where she should ask to help.

but she doesn't. instead she stays right where she is and just watches him.]


You good?

[she's made it part of her creed not to help men with physical labor unless she's asked.]

I'm fine.

[ He's going to attempt to try to pull himself up and get his ankle more trapped under the chair. But positive - positive - the chair is now at a diagonal position and probably going to crash off the steps and off him. Probably! ]

How are you?
heavensnight: (I know I have good taste)

[personal profile] heavensnight 2024-12-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Just dandy, big boy.

[she's having the time of her life watching this.]

You sure you got this?

[ With some effort, he replies: ]

Well, I am once more reminded why I don't like physical labor.

[ Grabbing the top of the chair, he twists it so that it'll get him out from underneath it. 'Course, in doing so, it falls off him and off the steps onto the floor. Good news! The chair is not broken but might be a little scuffed! Bad news! It certainly made a very loud noise.

There's a second of looking up at Maria before he is getting up to his feet to hurry away from the scene of the crime!! (GET OUT OF THERE, SCROOB!) ]
heavensnight: (And everyone makes mistakes)

[for a second, she really does consider going to him and asking if he's okay. while she's not sure about Vincent, thinks he might be trouble later, she should try to be friendly with him until that time comes probably.

but then he's running away and Maria decides this guy will probably be a cockroach and never actually leave them.]
