Donde esta la biblioteca?
Who: Troy Barnes and Lydia Martin
What: Severe misuse of books and even more severe scolding
Where: The Library
When: Day 55, evening
[Troy ducks down behind the outer wall of Fort Barnes Mk. III. While it was true that no finer fortress had ever been built, he couldn't help but feel the tension knowing that only a single layer of non-fiction texts separated him from his enemy.]
This is it, men. The only thing standing between us and glory is that tower right over there.
[Troy spoke meaningfully to ragtag group of loyal Dr. Seuss books as he gestured towards a larger stack of school textbooks piled up in tower formation a few feet away from his fort.]
Now, I want you to know- we're not all gonna make it. We can't go forgetting the brave sacrifice of Hop on Pop from the last skirmish.
[He solemnly saluted as he looked towards a pile of horribly damaged books in the corner of the room.]
...but I think we're gonna do just fine. You guys are the best soldiers I ever- Oh no! Their snipers have spotted us, we gotta move! Go! Go! Go!
[Troy gathered up an armful of the books and began crawling along the length of the wall, blindly throwing them towards them tower as he went. Eventually only one book remained in his hand. One book to carve out the words of history.]
Okay Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories, it's all up to you, now. FOR THE GLORY OF TROY!
[He hurled the book forward with all the force he could, smashing the tower down to the ground. He made highly exaggerated exploding sounds as the books came crashing to the ground and some of the pages separated from their spines.]
The day has been won. But at what cost?
no subject
[Lydia had watched the entire thing while leaning against a shelf with her arms crossed over her chest and an incredulous look on her face. At least Party's massacre of the library had been accidental. This is just sacrilege and it's also incredibly stupid.]
no subject
Well, I did come here to find materials to build a new fort, I started testing out different structures with the books and before you knew it, I had established this fine building you see here and the books over there were giving me dirty looks.
[He slowly stands up and dusts himself off.]
Couldn't very well build a proper bookfort with a bunch of mutinous textbooks, could I?
[He was about to elaborate on the subject when he realized he had met this particular person before and she had been a little less than pleasant. His stomach twisted in anticipation of the shitstorm it knew was soon to be on the way.]
no subject
Did it ever occur to you that people might actually need these?
no subject
Well, duh. What's better building material? Books are basically like... word bricks- they're perfect.
no subject
I suggest than when you're done picking them all up and putting them away, which you will do as soon as I'm finished speaking, you should pick a few to read and catch up with the rest of us mentally.
no subject
Wow. Are you like the fun police or something? Are you unfamiliar with the term "fun"? Not enough time playing as a kid or something? And here I thought I had it bad growing up a Jehova's Witness.
no subject
[The glare she's giving him isn't actually intended for him. Sorry, Troy. You're just here. The person she's actually angry at is not.]
no subject
No, playing is for people who like having fun. You can be a grown man and still be awesome, you know.
[There was no way Troy was backing down on this one, even though he was definitely a little afraid.]
no subject
Don't crack, Lydia. Don't lose it in front of anyone. Her hands are shaky as she stacks three text books and reaches for her purse.]
no subject
...I'm sorry, has all my talk of this strange concept called "fun" broken you?
no subject
I am not broken.
