[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.]

[paradoxlol]

Yeah. [Pause.] She's pretty good in a fight, actually.

[Rgsjgxhywcv Arthur does not want to tell a little kid that she's dead.] I'll talk to her once she calms down a little.

Well. Good for her, I suppose.

All-right. I am sure you are clever enough to realise that shouting these things to her through a door will not be the best way to go about informing her. Or anyone.

A twelve-year-old girl. What was the Admiral thinking?

[paradoxlol]

I know. She's just really fond of punching me, so a face-to-face discussion will take some time.

That she deserves a second chance?

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Best of luck to you, sir. If you need any help, I am about. I will stand behind you as she punches and speak to her.

Aye, I know, I know. She is just [insert a few scribbles here] very young. That is all.

[paradoxlol]

[Arthur looks back at the door again.] I think she'll be more inclined to listen to you than me.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. It cannot do more harm to try at any rate.

Where are you presently?

[paradoxlol]

Level [WHICHEVER HAS THE CLOSET.]

I can take her to the common room; we can meet there.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

That will suffice. I will wait there for you.

Just...there is little hurry. Take your time.

[paradoxlol]

See you soon.

[OOC: And they're there!]
