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!

Cassandra can’t help but grin at Fabian. It’s been a while, but she does like him. He’s… she doesn’t know. Just likeable. (And ridiculous. And fun. And probably a bad influence.)

“Of course!” she tells him. “It might take me a bit, but it isn’t every day that I have the chance to read books from a world I would never be able to access, otherwise.” Sorry Fabian. She’s a nerd. (And a bookworm to boot.)

"Yes, but they're.."

His voice trails off. It's almost as if he's trying to find the right word, but maybe it isn't exactly that, because he continues with--

".. books." (And surely it wouldn't take him that long to find that particular word when it's just the objective truth, right.)

Fabian gestures around them with his arms.

"There are so many things you could be doing here other than reading!"
