Book-Reading Breakdown
A/N: A mild crossover with the webcomic Unshelved.
Dewey tilted his head slightly to look past the transformed Lamborghini and Porsche taking up most of the lobby. They'd smashed through the front of the building not ten seconds ago; the patrons and rest of the staff had scattered in record time. Except for Merv, who was hiding under the Information Desk, not far from Dewey's legs.
He'd just gotten back from sick leave, too, and this happened. "There was a door, y'know."
"It was too small." The Lamborghini leaned down, resting his elbows on the floor and his chin on his hands. "You work here? I'm looking for a book."
Dewey considered saying 'No, I stand behind the Information Desk for the fun of it'. "Yes, I work here. What are you looking for?"
The masked Porsche looked around the area with an aura of apathetic disdain. The Lamborghini ignored him. "The new Pratchett. Large-print if you've got it."
Of course, thought Dewey, as he tapped away at his keyboard. "Looks like you're in luck, someone just returned it. You want to check it out here rather than at Circulation?"
The Lamborghini frowned slightly. "Yes?" he hazarded.
"All right. Lemme just see your library card-"
"Library card?"
Why do I bother? Dewey sighed and grabbed a library card from the drawer. "I just need your name and some contact information, then you can check out books whenever you like. Hopefully without breaking the front of the building each time."
"... Okay."
