[ The journal catches a THUD before a creaking sound, like wood rocking back and forth. And during that creaking can be heard lots of small thuds. The creaking comes to an end with an almighty crash. The resounding silence that follows is broken by the faint beating of bird wings. Goodness, what is going on?

For anyone who happens to be in the

[Alex has been doing nothing BUT reading, lately. He's calm, considering someone just crashed down next to him. He grabs the shelf, lifting and easily shoving back the entire row of book-stands.]

Be more careful.

[silentbutwinged]

[ That is impressive calmness. Nill is just going to stare at him. And stare. And stare. And pick up a book and hold it out to him with a nod. She's in a bit of shock. Reality will catch up with her in a minute or so. ]

[cunning_carrier]

[He finishes straightening up as best he can, then addresses her.]

Who are you?

[silentbutwinged]

[ And it's time for panic in 3, 2, 1... go. Nill does some combination of standing up, scooting back, and falling over again to end up crouched behind a chair, peering over the back of it at him. ]

[whitecovered]

[Floating by. It's a shame he couldn't really...do anything about the bookshelf and the books and whatnot. No limbs.]

[silentbutwinged]

[ That's... a floating book. Hello, floating book, this girl is just going to stare for about five seconds before she freaks out and tries to hide in the pile of books that partially bury her. ]

[whitecovered]

Oh, come now! Surely you do not believe I am a threat.

[He can be, sometimes. But that's not the point right now.]

[silentbutwinged]

[ The book is talking the book is talking there is a talking book. Still hiding. Talking books are just a bit too scary right now. ]

[Someone was at a nearby table, scribbling in a notebook. What a show you put on there, missy.

Elf is concern though. She didn't see who it was yet, but that won't stop her from coming over and prying things off of you.]

Are you alright?

[silentbutwinged]

[ What a show indeed! Alleyne's words register even though the whole situation doesn't and she gives a sort of dazed nod. ]

[tomatoandbasil]

[Let's get you out of there, kiddo. She goes to reach into one of her pouches when---]

---Nill? Is that you?

[silentbutwinged]

[ Blink blink. Yes that is her, but who are you? ]

What was that?! Hello?

journal;

[silentbutwinged]

[ Oh goodness! Something got written in the journal. Nill doesn't really understand it yet but when someone says "hello" you say it back, right? Handwriting is slow and poor. ]

hello

[fastest]

Are you okay? It sounded like something fell over.

[junescutie]

[oh hey there little girl, there's another little girl walking thorough the library with some books in her arms. Aaaaaaaand more than that, she looks surprised and is going to hurry over to the whole mess of books]

N-Nilll? A-Are you okay?

[silentbutwinged]

[ Oh look a cute little girl! Nill gives a nod and book that had fallen open onto her head slides off. ]

[junescutie]

[she'll quickly hurry to pick up one of the books when she remembers... right, Nill went home. So this must be a new Nill! She pauses picking up the books for a moment]

Um... h-hi.

[silentbutwinged]

[ Well this is all a bit strange but she seems nice! A small wave from Nill. ]
