[Why a stack of books doesn't make a good stepladder is demonstrated pretty well when the stack wobbles, Rita slips, and everything crashes to the floor. Several books go with her, and she mutters some choice words. Particularly when one falls right on her head

I was wondering when you'd realise that.

[blastiafreak]

W-what?!

[She goes even redder for a second--No, wait, there's no way he could know what she was thinking!]

W-what are you talking about?!

[stargathering]

That it's not normal to use books instead of ladders.

[blastiafreak]

O-oh, that, huh? [No, that is totally not nervousness or relief he hears in her voice. Seriously.]

There's nothing wrong with it! They just weren't steady!

[stargathering]

They're never going to be steady enough for you to climb...

[blastiafreak]

They will! It was fine until I--until some of those books fell!

[stargathering]

And you fell with them. You could seriously hurt yourself if you keep doing that.

[blastiafreak]

It was barely a couple feet.

[stargathering]

Just like that time you tried to climb to the ceiling a few weeks ago.

[blastiafreak]

Hey, I didn't even fall that time.

[stargathering]

You could have, though. You have to think things through more thoroughly.

[blastiafreak]

What I was thinking was that there could've been something dangerous up there! It's not like I'd just leave it.

[stargathering]

It wouldn't have mattered if you fell and more than one book hit your head. It can't be that hard to find a stepstool over there.

[blastiafreak]

A stepstool wouldn't stop books from falling off the shelf.

[stargathering]

It would have kept you from falling from them.

[blastiafreak]

You can still fall off one of those too, you know! It's not perfect.
