Work Text:
Eve and the three Librarians walked into the bakery that the clippings book had sent them to. From the outside it appeared to be completely normal. Only the normal amount of people seemed to take a look at it as they passed by. Nothing that would normally catch the attention of the Library and its people. Yet they had been called there for some reason.
Walking in gave Eve no more inclination as to why they were there as the outside of the building had.
But she decided to wander around and see what she could spot. Odds were one of the Librarians would spot whatever it was first but there were always times when she managed to beat them to it. Yet nothing seemed off to her. It was just a bakery. There were cases of baked goods and a cafe counter where drinks could be purchased.
She looked around and noticed that both Cassandra and Ezekiel were out of sight. Which was never a good sign. Those two were trouble magnets whenever they were left alone in a room together. Especially when they were in the middle of an unknown.
Just as she was about to go looking for them she heard a loud crash. The door that led to the kitchen flew open. Cassandra and Ezekiel didn't appear but instead a swarm of something did. They were too big to be any bug that she knew of and the shape was wrong. Then her wayward Librarians came chasing after with a harried baker following right behind. All three of them carrying butterfly nets.
The swarm got close enough to Eve that she got a good look at them. She was right that they weren't bugs. Or any living creature. It was a flying swarm of cookies. She watched in mild horror as the three net wielding people went chasing them around the main room. They had some success at catching them. Not enough to keep the few customers in the room from fleeing, but enough that Eve didn't feel the need to jump in and try and help. Especially since she didn't have a net of her own. She did notice Jacob trying to catch a few with his hands.
No matter how much she wanted to she would not leave shouting "nope" for everyone to hear. Eve would stay and help figure out what was causing the cookies to swarm like bees.
