WHO: Cosima Niehaus & Santana Lopez
WHERE: Library.
WHEN: 5/13
WHAT: Library is just another word for nerd magnet, that's what.
WARNINGS: mild swearing, references to illness, Orphan Black spoilers I guess?
Day One of Marrowood had been mostly consumed by messing around on the Marrophone (what? it needed a name, right?), trying every twenty minutes to get some kind of signal on her own devices and failing miserably, and wallowing in her room's minibar. And feeling shitty, because she was having a really coughingy day. Maybe it was the stress. She told herself it was just the stress, and probably the liberal application of what was probably nothing better than well liquor and two buck chuck shoved in slightly fancier containers, plus some of the classic "oh, those peanuts are twenty dollars didn't you see" peanuts. Well, joke's on you, Sleepy Hollow Inn, because Cosima isn't paying for those peanuts, okay.
Probably eating nothing but peanuts and alcohol was not the best plan for managing her illness or being productive. But neither was trans-dimensional kidnapping, right?
But Day Two was get some shit done or else no more wine Cosima, so she'd headed for the most important places in the small town, armed with a slightly cute, moderately horrifying tourist map. The name scheme around here was completely ridiculous: it felt like a theme park for the macabre. Stop one had been the hospital. Stop one had been aborted before actually going inside, because there was creepy, and then there was creepy. Right on to stop two, then, the library that people had mentioned via network post last night; at least the library didn't chase her away with the keen impression that if she went inside she'd get vivisected. No, here were books, which were totally safe and non-threatening. Right?
She came in through the front doors, but she didn't have any particular destination in mind: apparently the resources in this library were somewhat sparse. There certainly wasn't a book marked "The Answer To This Whole Crazy Mystery", for one thing. So she felt comfortable taking her time and getting a feel for what they did have. And who else might be around.
