*meanwhile, elsewhere in the Bristol House*

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

Unaware of Kid Flash's predicament or Robin's incarceration, Speedy, Greta, Superboy, and Wonder Girl continue to follow Brentwood through Bristol House. The Titans are shown a formal dining room, the butler's pantry, the kitchen, and have now arrived in the library. Like many of the other rooms, the library is decorated in the ornate Victorian style adopted by the wealthy Americans of the period. The floor is oak parquetry, darkened with age. Oriental rugs provide color and warmth. Heavy faded-cherry curtains obscure the windows. Tall bookcases stand along the walls, filled with thick books bound in leather and cloth. Along one wall is a museum-quality display case holding a number of pulp magazines dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The covers make it clear that these issues celebrate the exploits of "Lightning Fist" Bristol.

*watches Kon and Cassie leave a bit nervously and wanders over to a bookcase*

I wonder what kind of books a hero of the Old West liked... Hmm, were books still really expensive back then, or was that just hundreds of years ago? These look expensive, anyway.

What do you think, Speedy?

*still peering at the bookshelves*

There's a lot of history books... wonder what the history lessons were back then?

*rubs her nose*

Is that the books that smell that bad? Somebody must not have stored them well.

*coughs*

You may wish to sit down now, dear. I don't want you waking up with a crick in your neck.

Waking up?

*backs away from the bookcase, coughing*

What are you doing? What's going on here?

*puts her hands over her mouth and nose in an attempt to keep the gas out*

*her foot catches on the edge of one of the Oriental rugs and she falls backwards*

Oof!
