Those students who have chosen to make of the quad an Ultimate Fighting Championship arena needs must tone their voices down. You are damaging the serenity and calm of my library, even from there

Ohh~

You're an author too?

[hallowed_texts]

I am! A moderately successful one, at any rate.

As you can see, my passion for books is all-consuming. I must not merely care for them, but also produce them in my spare time.

[whysokidnapped]

Wow! That's so awesome~!

Is your stuff in bookstores and everything?

[hallowed_texts]

Oh, indeed! Usually shrinkwrapped for adult content.

Would you be interested in a read?

[talkstoearth]

What kind of book?

[hallowed_texts]

(*soft laughter*) Ah, well, my dear, have you ever heard of Rose Cherry?

[[ooc: for those who haven't read Erica's bio - Rose Cherry is her alter ego, writer of a series of wildly popular smut novels that actually contain PLOT. scandalous. :o ]]

I think I have--

2/2

[talkstoearth]

Oh! Is that you?

[[ooc: I havee..so amazing.]]

[suckmyciggs]

People are actually fighting near the library?

[hallowed_texts]

There was some sort of scuffle on the quad, and the raising of voices. I heard it from my office, but by the time I had reached the library door to search for the source of the commotion, it was being broken up.

Honestly, children, this is a college, not a grade school.

[suckmyciggs]

Kids these days are so immature... To get into a mindless scuffle...

What? You act as if testosterone doesn't exist. It does; a little more than what's necessary, but it's still prevalent last I checked. I highly your library couldn't be THAT serene; you have people coming in and out of it still do you not?

[hallowed_texts]

Merely because I am forced to contend with its existence does not mean it has a place in the confines of my library, not that it isn't highly inappropriate for those seeking a higher education.

A library, by virtue of its very existence, is a calm and quiet place of study. There are people coming and going, yes, but it is hardly the County Faire that is being made of the quad most recently.

[heiress_k]

Worry not; I and another fellow student took care of that unfortunate incident so you may have your tranquil utopia once more. If you wish for an apology you'll need to hunt the accused parties down yourself *shrug*

[hallowed_texts]

Ha! I'd more luck with obtaining blood from a stone on that score, I think; children acting in such a way can hardly be expected to have manners, and I am a librarian, not a nanny.

I may have to contact campus security, on the other hand - just to prevent further incidents from coming to fruition. The beginning of a fresh semester has the entire student body on tenterhooks.

I apologise on Sunstreaker's behalf. I do hope the ruckus didn't upset you too much.

I am certain you would be able to find a student or two to proof read for you.

[OOC: I'm killing myself laughing at the thought of poor innocent Prowl offering to proofread her new book...]

[hallowed_texts]

Not overly; with one of the conspirators already dedicated to making life difficulty for the rest of us, it was something to be expected.

Would you possibly be interested? Too often do I have a solely female view upon my fiction, and while I am told it is quite enjoyable for the other sex, I would like to hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

[prowl_tactician]

I... I don't think I've read any of your works I'm afraid. But if you wish me to look at your latest offering, I would be happy to help. After all, you are providing me with a quiet place to study in peace.

[hallowed_texts]

Wonderful! You will have the first print edition of the second draft in your hands by Friday.
