[This is Arthur. This is Arthur leaning against a closet door, his suit slightly rumpled (in fact, there's a tear in one of his sleeves), his hair out of place. Still, he carries himself like this is PERFECTLY NORMAL. Oh yeah, and he's holding a pool cue. Before he speaks, Arthur smooths his hair back.]

To the library staff: sorry. I left a few books out of place. I'll come by as soon as possible to put them back.

[From the closet, there's suddenly an outburst of loud banging and intermittent swears. Very creative swears. Arthur rolls his head back against the door and then throws an irritated look over his shoulder, as though the closet's occupant can see, before turning back to the camera.]

Blonde. Female. [BANG BANG. There's probably a "cocksucker" there, too.] About five foot... one? [He holds the cue out horizontally, five feet from the ground, to illustrate.] I'd say... twelve years old?

Does she belong to anybody? Or do we often receive unsupervised children?

[OOC: After THIS THREAD. Arthur was trying to find somewhere secure to put Mindy until she regained consciousness, but she woke up in his arms and started attacking him again, SO HE SHOVED HER IN THE CLOSEST ROOM: A RANDOM CLOSET.]

[Data likes kids, what did you do, Arthur?! Hey, she's Martha's height] I know of few parents on board and their children did not accompany them. ...Why is she in your closet? As well as apparently livid?

[paradoxlol]

This isn't my closet. And she's in it because I don't have anything to restrain her with. [He holds up the pool cue.] She came at me with this.

[Obviously not your normal little girl.] I am beginning to think a pool table was perhaps not the best game to include on this particular vessel. May I speak to her if other attempts to convince her to remain calm have failed?

[paradoxlol]

I know. The cues should at least be locked up in an environment like this.

Be my guest.

[empirical_data]

Any suggestions I have made for restriction have been ill-met.

[And now he's going to wait and see how this baby-wranglin' thing goes- Not good, so far.]

[paradoxlol]

People don't like change around here?

[SO FAR, IT IS HAVING MIXED RESULTS.]

[empirical_data]

No. They do frequently do not.

[Ehhhhh mixed results is a good, hopeful description?]
