Prompt: "Don't you have to be stupid somewhere else?"
"Not until four."
To say that the last few hours had been nothing short of absolute chaos for the people who worked in the Annex was a slight understatement. The clippings book had been flapping violently with all of the reports that had been pouring in. in fact, Ra watched as Jenkins quickly picked up the now shaking book. "Yes, yes, we get it. Stop panicking. It is unseemly."
The Archivist sighed as the Researcher set the frantic book down in front of her before she pulled the artifact in front of her, stroking the pages as she did so. "It's alright, don't listen to Jenkins. Just let us figure this out." Ra ignored Jenkins's furrowed brow as the clippings book calmed slightly. "Alright. Yellowstone, Mongolia, Taiwan, China, and two in Japan. And before you say anything, earthquakes are not magic, but many are the result of magic."
"My Slavic's a little bit rusty," Stone set his research down in front of them before he continued. "But I found two other incidents of massive geothermal phenomena dating as far back as 1643."
Jenkins turned slightly to the Guardian. "Colonel Baird, did you find the…"
"Hold on! My desk reset itself to Flynn's whatever again. Here! Here, here, okay. According to the scroll of Yosemite Sam."
Ra pursed her lips at Baird at that. "The folio of Ahwahneechee Yosemite."
Baird just rolled her eyes. "Yeah. According to that, 'water spirits have been responsible for these similar weather anomalies dating back more than five score and nine years.' Score?"
The Archivist rolled her eyes as all the others in the room exclaimed, "Twenty years."
"I know what a score is. I was commenting on the use of it."
Before any of them could say anything else, Jones walked into the room while deep in a conversation on the phone. "You are an absolute legend, mate! That is exactly what we need."
Everyone turned to the thief expectantly. Jenkins, however, was the only one to voice their expectations. "Yes? Good. What? Some information on the eruptions?"
Jones furrowed his brow at their looks. "What? No, that was the pizza guy, alright. I figured that, if we're gonna be working all day and researching, we could use some…"
The Archivist scoffed before pushing past him. "Don't you have to be stupid somewhere else?"
"Not until four."
"Whatever." Ra turned and began to walk backwards out of the room. "If you all need me, I'll be in my office looking for more clues. Good luck!"
