Jack Cinead, as he usually did at 8:00 at night, sat behind the counter in the library, casually playing ping-pong on his computer. Generally he wasn't supposed to be alone tonight, but his superior, Diane, had come down with a head cold earlier that day.
So, by rule of pecking order, Jack, the assitant librarian, was left to watch the library while Diane sneezed her brains out 2 blocks away.
Lucky, lucky, me, Jack thought, cursing as the little white ball on his computer screen evaded his little bar-tennis racket and two colorless words popped up: Gameover, stuck here on a weekend with only that freaky clock-thing for company.
The "freaky clock-thing" was infact a Meow-mix timepeice that Diane had perched on the wall a few months after Jack had begun working at the library. It had great, staring white eyes that glared down at Jack, it's plastic tail swishing back and forth, back and forth. Beneath it, a little plaque had been placed: In loving memory of Mr. Snowpaws.
Jack sighed and rested his head on his desk. "Julian ,where are you when I need you?"

*Muwhahaha the ever crazy Natalia ish coming! GRAB THE PITCHFORKS AND YOUNG CHILDREN!!*
Natalia walked into the library in an odd mood. She had just been stuck in a tree and almost had eaten a very nice boy. Both things had ended bad. The boy ran away and the tree was tall.
Looking up she could see a guy sitting behind the counter of the library and around her many many many bookshelves with books. She walked up to the counter and fiddled with her long black braid. ''¿Usted tiene libros en canibalismo?'' She said leaning on the counter a bit.

((*screams* Oh, no! Jack has no way to protect himself…well, except for JADM…and some funky little protection objects…but, blah. *screams again*))
Jack glanced up. "Mmm…Apenas un momento, señora." He looked down at his watch, where Natalia's words were shown in their original language. "Translate, JADM, Spanish to English."
The little computer replied with a sentence in perfectly understandable English.
Jack smiled at the young woman, before whispering into his watch with the reply. A little computerized voice said, " Sí, . Tercera fila, segundo estante a la derecha. Ése es... tema interesante de n. ¿Usted está haciendo un proyecto?" He gave her a questioning look.

Natalia shook her head. ''No, para uso privado. Im no en colegio.'' She said fiddling with her braid. She just might get to eat tonight. This man could speak Spanish too, and he was a cute American. The best of human flesh.

Jack gave her an odd look. "¿Bien el ... tan si usted no hace un proyecto, qué hace usted, si usted no hace caso de mi petición?" He asked, in very accented Spanish.

**Dumb translator *kicks***
Natalia sighed and shrugged. ''Americans....'' She said shaking her head.

Jack blinked. "And that was supposed to mean...?"

Natalia shrugged. ''Nothing..to you at least.''She said in a heavy Spanish accent.

Natalia shrugged. ''I am Natalia Lopez, you senor?''She asked tilting her head to the right causing her long black braid and human shaped skull earings to dangle in the air.

"Jack Cinead, Smart-alec extraordinaire." Jack replied, holding out his hand for her to shake."It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lopez."

Natalia shook his hand firmly. ''Interhhesting..''She said slurring some of the word.

Jack coughed. "Well, for one thing, your outfit is...strange, to say the least," He replied, pointing at her earrings," And for another, you asked about a subject that not really people ask about. You're not a cannibal yourself, are you?" He asked, meaning it as a joke.
