[Accidental Video Post]

[The video opens with an image of Rosella, sitting at a table in the Library with bookshelves all around her as a backdrop. For anyone reasonably familiar with the Library, it is clear that she is not in one of the more high-traffic areas; quite the contrary, she's picked the quietest corner she could find, and tucked

You and Pinocchio, Rosella. What's all this about whales?

[primrosella]

Whales? What do whales have to do with--

...Oh, honestly, don't tell me you've found a picture of that!

[playstheblues]

Your dress looks very wet.

[primrosella]

Likely it's because I've just been swimming. That's the only way to get anywhere near whales, you know, is by swimming along and minding your own business right up until one comes up out of nowhere and swallows you.

[adamantined]

I can't even pretend I'm not here for the whale story.

[primrosella]

Drat it all, so that's the one that's gotten out, is it?

If you'll pardon my asking, what exactly does it show, that picture of the whale?

[adamantined]

That's the one that I found, and it looks like... well, have you ever seen Pinocchio?

[primrosella]

Odd, that's what Blue said, too. Am I...that is, the picture, is it...

Well, er, I suppose I should say--um, is there a tongue?

[misterblackbird]

Have you still not found any of yours, Rosella? I find that rather surprising. I would have expected there to be at least one.

[primrosella]

No, but it seems that other people are. And it seems to be one where I've been swallowed by a whale. Why that one is going around, I certainly don't know, but it seems it is, since two people now have found it.

[misterblackbird]

And were you swallowed by a whale?

[primrosella]

Only the once. And it was entirely an accident, anyway.

[treadingdawn]

You are a brave one.

audio;

[primrosella]

Why, thank you, I'm quite flattered you think so, Caspian.

[Pause.]

...Er. But if you'll pardon my asking, may I ask what makes you say so?

audio;

[treadingdawn]

I see you've faced dragons, well...a dragon...or is it dragons because each head is an individual dragon?

audio;

[primrosella]

...Oh. With three heads? No, it's...only one dragon, just a three-headed one.

voice;

[primrosella]

Unicorn, Ferris? Which unicorn might that be?

voice;

[primrosella]

Oh, you found that one, too, did you? Yes, I remember that unicorn. I caught him when I was in Tamir.
