Provenance

White Bread raised, in strict observance in Upstate California,she was homeschooled until a mid-teens move into public school after her parents' divorce. She read faster than anyone could supervise, and was disliked for it long before anyone found a better reason, and even after puberty left her something closer to striking than pretty — pale, doll-still, the kind of ethereal that makes people look a beat too long.

The thing about being smart before you become pretty is that you can see. You look at them, and you see.

Intelect and a scholarship carried her to UCLA, and the library's night shift kept her fed. But there are things in the night shift the catalog has no call number for.

Who you're gonna call? Ghostbusters?

Things changed, some time passed away from university, but now she's back. Different clothes, some more money in her pocket, and no ties to her family anymore. But Mary Ann is here, and she is quietly watching. Night shifts are still her shift.

He needed a body. I was already good at being furniture.

Chatrooms? What she will not say aloud, she can certainly type, and although few now this, the library computers certainly show the tracks: in the fanfiction scene online, the writing hubs for the lonely, the creative, the ones seeking adventure, Mary Ann shines behind a nickname.

Mary Ann apologizes. Alecto does not.

Harmless is the name of the game for surviving in the academy world, it seems. The librarian is just a tad on the quiet side, if you never catch the way she looks at you when you aren't looking.

I wouldn't judge so much if people did not give me reason to.
