[On this particularly blustery day, Pascal is lounging around in the library and making a general mess of the area around her. There are books laid out all over the table she's sat at, some piled up close by on the floor, everywhere. Even then she keeps getting up to find some other book to add to her collection. Most of the books she's reading through follow the theme of today's weather. Be it wind socks, wind surfing, anemometers, windmills, whatever, she's likely found a book on it. There's one particular book the she's so fully engrossed in that she doesn't even notice when a stack of books slips of the table.

Flying a kite sounds like a blast! There are so many different kinds of kites with different designs to them out there. To Pascal it seems like a great way to make the best out of the weather. Now she could just go and look for a kite in the item shop and see what comes up, but where's the fun in that? She's going to make her own. She makes a few trips to the item shop for some craft supplies, bring her haul back to the library so she can start her work (and make even more of a mess than before).]

[With her work soon finished, Pascal can be found testing out her kite in the plaza. She's running around all over the place, waving her arms like a madwoman in an attempt to get her kite to take off.]

C'mon, you can do it! Three, two, one, go go go!! [We have lift off! Pascal's excitement is short lived however as a particularly strong gust of wind sends the kite swerving downwards, causing it to crash into the ground not long after it took off. Wooden canes and construction paper everywhere.] Aw bananas, the wind completely totaled it... Oh well! [That was just a test flight anyway. Time to make another one!]

-

[Finally, in the afternoon, Pascal has finished her second kite and has managed to get it airborne. This isn't just any normal box kite though. There are two strings leading from the kite, one is used to keep the kite under control and the other is a pullstring. When Pascal yanks down on the pullstring, confetti starts spilling out of the kite! The wind helps in spreading the confetti around, effectively showering the plaza with multicoloured paper. Hopefully the colourful display will help cheer a few people up, especially given the draft from not too long ago and the number of entries she's seen about people going home over the journals.

While the confetti pouring out of the sky looks impressive, it's going to look a lot less interesting when it's piled up on the ground and being blown all over the place. The books and remaining craft supplies she left in the library don't look all that great either. She should probably figure out how she's going to clean everything up. Maybe. At some point. Later... Feel free to run into Pascal at any point during her day, from messing up the library to flying her kites!]

[Aw man. Lame.]

Guess not. Poor spider dudes getting all sticky and not unsticking themselves.

[Resuming her crawling about on the floor, Pascal finds herself under a table.]

I'm starting to think all my supplies just up and left, or they got invisi-shifted by the Malnoguys.

[It could happen.]

That does sound like an extremely unpleasant end.

[Even for a spider. Or a half-spider woman that spams Quake.]

I doubt the Malnosso disapprove of kites that much, though they might dislike messiness.

It wasn't sooo messy that they would just up and poof my stuff away though. I think.

[No. It was that messy. Like a little bomb went off containing parts for making a kite.]

Aww well, guess that means I get to grab all the parts all over again the next time I wanna whip up a kite!

It could well be that the Malnosso have a much stricter view of messiness than you do. Or that it's done automatically.

[Yes, he kinda doubts that part, for some reason.]

There's an art club in the village. They should have the supplies for it, even if the shops might run out.

[An art club huh. Hmmm.]

Maaaybe I could drop on by and nab a few pieces. Then I can just mosey on over to the other stores for all the heavy duty kite things I need, if they're around! Yeah, that could work.

The members there might also have interesting kite-buildings idea. Surely there are variations out there that are unique to a single world, or patterns that are particularly meaningful to others.

Or maybe I could bring along the big book of kites I had before and share all those totally awesome kite ideas with the art guys too. It'll be like one great, big kite sharing get together! [...] If I can get my hands on that book again anyway.

...You know, thinking about it, it's quite possible that a member of the club came to the library, saw the book and decided to borrow it for their activities.

[Wouldn't that be a funny coincidence?]

Aaahah, I get it. The art guy who took it must've had the same brainwave as I did.

[It's windy. Better do something and make the most of it. Make some kites? Perfect!]

If they just borrowed it or whatever then they'll hafta dump it back here at some point!

Sooner or later, yes. I doubt even club are allowed to borrow books for to long.

[Besides, it'd be rude to hog it.]

Yeah, that would be totally unfair for all the other guys who wanna try out kites and stuff on the next windy day!

[... Though it's likely that Pascal has a small pile of library books in her room that she ended up forgetting to return. But there's a difference between hogging books and just forgetting about them, right!?]

I'll drop by tomorrow or some other time and see if I can find it then. Thanks a whooole bunch for your help and stuff Cecil, even if we found nothin'.

[Nothing, expect for the book of records she picked up. Which might end up with the other books she hasn't returned yet.]

You might have better luck then, yes, unless it was taken by someone particualrly selfish. But if you still cannot find it after a few days, please do not hesitate to request my help.

[If only so he can also remind her to bring back all those interesting facts and the book that contains them.]

Y'okay! If this drags on for way too long I'll tappatap somethin' up to you on the journals. Then we can get a book searchathon going!

[Maybe she'll let Cecil borrow the book next! If she's done reading through every single little fact written down in there... And if she remembers to return it in the first place.]

And if we need additional help, I can think of a few more or less willing volunteers, all of them sharp-eyed and alert.

[...He'll never see that book again, will he.]

Awesome, the more the merrier and all that!

[Sure he will! ... Maybe. Hopefully?

That said, Pascal turns to leave the library with the book in her hands. The library adventures are over for the day.]

The more the quicker, too. Have a nice day!

[He waves both woman and book off, with the certainty that of the two, it won't be the book he'll see first.]
