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!

[ There's always a chance a war dog will bite your hand off. Especially if their handler decides it. But this one just examines his glove and then gives him a look.

Carver's mouth quips. Almost a smile. He throws the ball hard. He'll do it again and again, largely in silence, until either the dog or John has him stop. ]

[ Silently, Carver tugs his glove back on. ]

I'll remember, [ he replies quietly. This isn't the same as promising he'll come. But he'll remember that it was offered. ]

[ Carver watches him for a moment. Just watches him. Then he turns abruptly and walks away. ]
