Aereopagitica, Monday

[rup-giles.livejournal.com]

Giles is at the front counter, still working on the research for Cordelia. The UPS man came and brought him a small yet interesting parcel from London.

He figured out how to tune in the student radio station last week. As a result, sitting next to his books on the counter is a display card which reads:

"air-EE-oh-pa-jit-I-ca"

Since Victor was in town anyay, he figured he'd stop by Aereopagitica, since his last visit had been cut short by..something. Strange, he didn't remember. But he went in anyway and browsed the racks. In his hand, Bot moved his eye around and made a low sound that was suspiciously like an "Oooh..."

Giles's librarian-senses tingled and he looked up from the Byblos text.

"Good afternoon. How may I help you?"

"Oh, hey," Victor said with a wave. "I heard this place is new, so I came to check it out. Exactly what kind of books do you sell here?"

[rup-giles.livejournal.com]

"Well, every kind, really. And if we don't have what you need or want, it can be special ordered."

"Great! Where are your comics?"

"The graphic novels are right over here," Giles said with a grin. When he was this young person's age, he'd been a fervent of The Rover...

"Cool, thanks," Victor grinned back and took a look in the section the man had pointed out.

About half an hour later, he came back with a few back issues of a manga called Naruto Ninja Teen, as well as a trade of X-Men Q-Force. In his other hand, Bot was still looking around with curiosity.

"I think this is it. You have a really good selection here, sir. I'll probably be back to get some more after I get my allowance."

"Wonderful. I shall be glad to see you." After having worked with Clem back in Sunnydale, the young person's appearance didn't throw Giles, although he privately wondered exactly what kind of demon he was.

"Oh, before I go...you said you carry pretty much everything, right? Do you by chance have a section on the supernatural, or paranormal? It's kinda a hobby of mine."

This is not the irony you're looking for. Move along.

Giles raised an eyebrow, his lips twisting.

"Absolutely. You might even call the paranormal a house specialty."

"That's cool, 'cause before the old bookstore closed I was doing a lot of research on vampires and demons and stuff like that. I'll ahve to make sure I look through that stuff next time I come here. That is...you're not planning on closing anytime soon, are you?"
