(no subject)

O.K., I work in a library and DM came in today. It was very, very slow (the computers were down) so I perused it at the desk. Somewhere in the midst of chapter 19, my head impacted with said desk. Only after I had done it did I realize that I had just had a literal "headdesk" moment.

At the beginning of the chapter, we have the following thought from Anita, regarding JC and Asher: I'd sent them off to bunk in Asher's room dozens of times. But for the first time, I wondered what they would do when they got there. Would they have sex?

It's a good thing no one was around at the time because this made me laugh out loud. Has anyone ever doubted that Asher and JC were having sex while Anita was off reading bedtimes stories with Mithaniel? I certainly never doubted it. And for this to be the first time Anita even considered the matter? Please.

But then, a few pages later, we have this gem from Jean-Claude, referencing his screwing of Augustine (whom I absolutely refuse to call Auggie, because, just, no): Did you think that because I had tasted my first man in years that I would suddenly be some sort of rampaging beast?

...

Years? Meaning that he and Asher have been chastely dozing, or dying, or what have you, in bed together since Asher got there? That they never once...? Wha..? *headdesk*

I give up. Seriously. Words fail. It just... [wails] It makes no sense!

I also hope this works because I am woefully new to this lj stuff.

And then along comes Augustine and, well, if I were Asher, I'd be Seriously Displeased right about now.

Seriously Displeased is probably the nicest way to put it.

If I were Asher, someone would be DEAD and/or DYING because I'd ripped them apart with my bare hands.

I rationalized it at the time as Anita being an unreliable narrator.

*snort* she's also an unreliable animator, federal officer, police consultant and lover.

Really, Team Evil ought to be partying heartily in St Louis because The Executioner is being severely lax in her job description. If they're not holding some kind of serial killer competition/convention, I will be most disappointed.

They can have guest speakers from the Council, via satellite. And between lectures, the Council peeps can make trouble for Anita and she'll just have to have sex to drive them away. And thus, the party would continue.

Then again, I think that "Micah," which I have not read and have no intention of reading, may have touched on that.

It did, briefly, in that there was a rumour going around that Anita was a slut and OMG she had to defend herself and say, no, I am not a slut. I just have a metaphysical problem. I can't help it if I need to have sex every few hours. And by the way, I did not fuck people down in New Mexico.

FED 1 (guy with a problem with Anita *eyeroll*): Yeah...riiiiight.
FED 2 (reasonable man): Fair enough. You there, pwnt. STFU.
FED 1: WTF?

And suddenly everyone was OK with Anita.
