The Over-stuffed Library Office
 

The words "too eccentric to live" could've been invented for this space. As it housed all manner of exotic looking bric-a-brac including (but not limited to) a large metal gong, bags of feathers, a floating cloud of Merlin-knows-what beneath a bell jar, a strangely engraved tray weighted down to an over burdened desk with cowrie shells and a very dirty crystal ball. The shelves too held crystals, many in sphere shape and all looking like they could use a good polishing. On the floor two small silver dishes, one of which was filled with water and the other some type of animal kibble, sat atop a small place mat.

Don't look for the librarian in here, he's at the reference desk. This space could hardly fit another thing in it.

He entered into his overstuffed and messy office wearing a pair of white gloves. His arms were full of cleaning supplies, which he released in a loud Ker-CLASH-NK! onto his burried desk. Setting charms upon them so that they would get to cleaning the place up, Kapoor took his wand and casted towards the piled items shrinking their size. Once they were a small and more manageable size, he set about collecting them and placing them into boxes which he stacked out of the way for now. All except for the gong, which for some reason he thought would really come in handy.

He put a spot of tea on and waited for his colleagues and the students to arrive.

Selena walked over to this section of the library. Oh... it was a bit small. She noticed the librarian and waved hello. The question she had right now was where everyone would be sitting. She was early wasn't she? There was no one else here...

Maddie entered the small little office and took a seat next to Sel.
'Hey' she said, smiling 'Good morning Mr. Kapoor' she added, spotting the Librarian. Hmmmm.... the space was rather small. Were they all going to fit?

Trixie walked gracefully into the library office. Yay Music!! Exactly the committee she had originally asked for. Now this was going to be fun. Ad spotting her cousin, Ella she walked over with a huge grin on her face. Are they on good terms or bad terms right now? Meh oh well. "Good morning Professor. How are you all?" she asked looking around at everyone. Eeep!!! Music! Trixie's specialty. And now ideas were flooding into her head.

Violet skipped happily into the Librian's office and she started frowning. Geez, is cleaning up too much to ask?!

She looked at the people there oh great Trixie and Maddie. Blechhhhh Oh well at least she would probably have better taste in music. Hehe. And its all for fun of course. She just stood in the office patiently, with her arms crossed and tried to find a CLEAN space.

Sigh. Well maybe it'll get better.

Maddie sigheddd, and moved further away from Violet. Ewww. Evil.... she was evil.
'Hi Violet' said Maddie sweetly. She was gonna try to be nice.... maybe.

And then there was that voice. The EVIL voice. Violet rolled her eyes. "Hi?" she replied and looked in the opposite direction. Why was she talking to her?

Maddie rolled her eyes. Maybe she wanted to try and be nice, but Violet obvioulsy didn't
'Never mind' she muttered, and picked up a book. Vampire Academy... she laughed. It was a good book, and soon she was lost in it, blanking Violet and the rest of them completely

"Okay..." was all she replied. That was awkward and strange. "Whatever that means." She was quite sure the girl was reading again and not paying attention to anything.

Whatever. Oh why had these people have to be in the same group as her?

Anya walked in and sat down, removing her iPod headphone from one ear, and waited.

Kapoor merrily greeted the students back as they entered. There were quite a few more faces than he thought there'd be at this meeting and he looked down at the seats hoping there'd be enough. Mmaybe a duplication spell would be in order later, though if nothing else he and Marcus could stand.

"Welcome, everyone. Please take a seat while we wait for Professors Lawson to arrive." Which would be soon.

"Ah, I see you found my copy of the Vampire Academy book. It's one heck of a read. Don't tell me what happens if you've read it!" He blurted out that last sentence as all who live in perpetual fear of spoilers have a tendency to do.

Maddie smiled
'I love the Vampire Academy books, Proffessor. One of my favourite muggle series' she smiled. Naw, it was too cute. Dimitri and Rose... naw.

Professor Lawson tapped on the door frame and peeked her head inside Kapoor's tiny office. The room wasn't all that much different than his previous space. Just smaller really.

"Good afternoon, David!" she said, making her way inside and propping herself against the corner of his desk. "Hello, kids."

After a quick headcount, she looked to Kapoor again. "Is this all of us?"

"Good afternoon, Iliana!" His jovial voice boomed back. He was still in his white gloves and arranging tea and cookies. "It looks as though we're missing about eight other faces. Nine, if you include Mr. Lawson's, but if they don't show up soon I suppose we could start and just catch them up when they do arrive or after the meeting." He raised a decorative pot over an equally decorative cup and saucer the ambery liquid making that heavy rushed noise that tea does when it's poured as it cascaded down into the cup. "Care for Darjeeling?"

Selena opened her messenger bag and pulled out a pretty green notebook she had just for this planning thing. It was good to be organized. She pulled out a pen as well, it was easier than using a quill. "Hello Professor Lawson," Selena greeted the professor that just came in as she spun the pen between her fingers. It was quite boring just waiting.

Marcus burst into the closet sized room like a mini tornado and grabbed hold of his wife and twirled her around before letting her go and giving David Kapoor a manly slap on the back.

"I'm here" he announced to the room with what seemed to be excitement but more likely it was a sugar high from all the chocolate he had scoffed before coming up here.

"What did I miss?"

Sammy walked camly into the room , she looked strangely at the man that had entered before her.She couldn't help smirking at his loudness. She had been told there was a music commitee meeting or somthing here. She took a seat and waited to see what happened.

Emmy walked shyly into the room, and spotted her new best friend.
"Hey, Sammy! I didn't know you'd applied for the comittee as well!"
Gesturing to an empty seat beside her friend, she asked, "D'you mind if I sit here?"

Kate walked quickly into the room, faced Gabrielle and asked "Do you mind if I sat here?"

Tori walked into the library, sat down, and waited. No one had asked her to the ball yet and it didn't look like she was going to get to go.

Disappointed at the idea of HALF the group still missing, Iliana nodded her head gravely and said, "I think that'll be best. As they say... Time's a wastin'."

She pushed off of the desk to stand and smiled. "I'd love some, thank you."
"Hello," she said in return. "Thanks for coming prepared," she added, nodding at the notebook the girl had in front of her.
Oh yes, of course, she thought, rolling her eyes at her husband. "You just wouldn't be you, Marcus if you didn't make an entrance." She reached for a tea cup and sent up a silent prayer of thanks. Had she already had one in hand, there'd have been hot liquid down the front of her robes right now.

...

"Alright then, let's get started," she announced. "Thank you all for signing up for the Music Committee. The professors and I are here to oversee these meetings and offer our assistance but the decisions that need to be made will be made by you. "

Settling back against Kapoor's desk, she took a sip of her tea and continued. "So... Let's talk about music. I'd like to go around the room and get your ideas. First on our list... live music versus a DJ. Which would you prefer?"
