[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.

Eventually, she sits up in the middle of yet another disaster in the study, clutching her head with a dazed expression that actually has nothing to do with this accident and quite a lot to do with a recent mistletoe curse. Her face goes a few shades of red, even as she berates herself; this is stupid, pointless, and she shouldn't care...right?]

Argh, what am I doing...? There's no way that's normal at all.

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!

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Books weren't made for that purpose, Rita.

[blastiafreak]

Th-there's nothing wrong with using what's on hand! [And she is totally not embarrassed or anything, really! That blush is all fake!]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Most people would use a chair. [He'll totally not believe that she isn't hiding something! :3 ]

[blastiafreak]

Who cares what most people would use? The books were just there! [Friends let friends stay in denial! And talk nonsense out of stubborness.]

[cateyedhunter.livejournal.com]

So you were in a rush. [And friends let friends find amusement in their silliness~!]

[unknights.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[blastiafreak]

Huh? F-fine. It's not like it was that high.

[Juuust ignore the red face...]

[unknights.livejournal.com]

Well, okay. If you're sure.. Although I was referring to both your physical and non-physical well-being. [ Rita should know what he means. ]

[blastiafreak]

S-so what? They're both fine, okay? [Not that it would ever stop her from being tsun.]

[beifongbandit]

Sounds like you're making a mess.

[blastiafreak]

A-a few books aren't a mess!

[beifongbandit]

Why not? You can make a mess with anything if you try hard enough.

[blastiafreak]

Sure, but I wasn't trying.

[beifongbandit]

Coulda fooled me.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

What do you think ladders are for, Rita? And if you need help in looking for something, I won't mind lending a hand.

[blastiafreak]

W-wha--I'm not--I know what ladders are for!

[TSUN. Big time tsun. Also blushing.]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Then, why are you using those books instead? They have a different purpose, you know.

[Yeah, scolding 101, you get.]

[blastiafreak]

Because they were there, okay?

[First Dad, now Mom.]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Don't you have a ladder there available?

[Lol! By Dad, you mean Tyr~?]
