[The Librarian, wearing about six leis, is everywhere. He might be handing you your lei as you come in. Or fixing that string of lights hung across the room that fell down. Or perhaps the fruit salad at the buffet table is running low? He'll be along to refill it before you notice. Feel free to catch him anywhere, doing any number of small but important tasks. Or he might even be chilling at the buffet table imbibing some punch and mangoes. Oh, mangoes. Heaven in a fruit, baby.

He might be hogging the mangoes a little.]

[Admittedly, Anri's never been to many parties. She's come to this party in search for someone and the number of people in this place makes her a little apprehensive. She's been keeping to herself at a corner (and yes, she did see that string of lights somewhere to her near right fall), but when a...monkey goes over to fix it, she can't help but blink.

Stare.]

Um...

[lspacetraveler]

[Where he found the stepladder hardly matters. What should be intriguing is way he merely uses it to hoist himself up, and then spends the rest of the time repairing the light hanging by one arm from a ceiling beam, using mainly his feet to re affix the string. He senses you watching him, and looks over his shoulder, a few nails hanging out of his mouth. (He might not actually be using nails to make this repair, but his canon cares about the look of things and so they just showed up naturally whether he needs them or not.) He raises one eyebrow, and goes back to his repair.]

[talkstoknives]

Um...

[This is probably going to be a weird question. Actually, scrap that, this is probably a weird question because she's asking this to this...this...

Monkey?]

Do you need some help?

[lspacetraveler]

Ook. [Nope, I got it.

And in a jiffy he's done and climbing down. Thanks for the offer, though. You get a wink.]

[talkstoknives]

A-ah, of course.

[It's pretty strange attempting to make conversation with something that just attempted to reply with an ook.]

Do you usually repair...? [and do side jobs like that?]

[lspacetraveler]

Ook. [Nope. Normally I work at the library. But I like to help out when help is needed.

The orangutan indicates the stepladder, and takes one side. Help him move it?]

[talkstoknives]

[Is that a yes? A no? It's hard to tell. But at least that lifting of one side of the ladder has clear enough intentions so she'll hurry to pick up the other half of that ladder.

She has so many questions, but the question at the moment is-- will she get an answer that is not "Ook"?]

[Grune has absolutely no idea what you do at a Hawaiian party, Hawaii not being a place on Melfes and all. She does, however, totally approve of these flower necklace things, and will accept one from the Librarian very happily.]

Oh, thank you! This party looks like it's going to be so much fun, doesn't it?

[lspacetraveler]

Ook! [It certainly does! Oh, here, take another lei, why not?]

[lostinmyway]

Thank you. [And around her neck it goes.]

I wonder what kind of flowers these are.

[lspacetraveler]

Ook? [Red ones?]

[lostinmyway]

[She looks down to study them.] Yes…that's right. I wonder if I could plant them in my garden.

[lspacetraveler]

[He fingers one of the flowers on a lei he's still holding, dubiously. He very much doubts these will grow.]

[lostinmyway]

Maybe I can find some more in the flower shop.

[lspacetraveler]

[That might be a better idea.]
