Barnes & Noble in Alexandria, Saturday Afternoon (NFB due to distance)

As the group entered the store, they were greeted by a crowd of women, all waiting to meet Angelica Demesnes. Large tables held copies of all her books for those who hadn't brought their own, including the brand-new Crown Diamond. Zero gleefully snatched up a copy of her very own.

((Due to Parker's connection woes, there will be no travel post. Come one, come all!))

"Books are nice." Alanna said, more than a little distracted. "Can I stay here?"

Parker chortled. "Sadly, if they find you, they'll make you go home. But that doesn't mean you can't hide under one of the couches for a while."

Alanna snapped her fingers. "Drat!"

"Don't they have book stores like this anywhere in Chorus? Or Trebond?" Parker looked around. It was a fairly ordinary B&N, aside from the margarita-ing author and the fangirls.

"Trebond? No way. We have Father's library and sometimes merchants bring books. In Chorus there's the market where I dig through to find books. But this many? No way."

"Ahhh. Well, knock yourself out." Parker looked around and grinned. "Welcome to the *really* cool thing about America and the 21st Century: everyone and his brother is writing a book."

Alanna beamed. "I'm so going to have to ask Thom and Duke Gareth to send more money."

Parker was struck by a thought, and asked, "Have you discovered Amazon.com yet?"

"I've heard of it, but not quite sure what it is."

"Oh, Alanna." Parker would've laughed evilly, but they might have thrown her out before she got her books signed. "Remind me to show you the treasure when we get back to Fandom."

"Sure. It's not like I'm even blowing my own money. And when it is my own, there's enough that I honestly don't care." Alanna looked at Parker a bit funny.
