[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.

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~?]

[blastiafreak]

Ugh, I don't know. Maybe there's one in the basement or something.

[Sure do! XD He actually scolds her almost as much as Katara does~]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Do you need help finding it or are you going to get it yourself?

[Ahaha, really? XD I never even thought of that rofl! That's cute!]

[blastiafreak]

Why would I need help with that?

[Hee, yes! I just noticed it today when I was reading through some older threads. :D]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Because you obviously do. You wouldn't be using the books if you don't need help getting the ladder.

[Aww, so cute! Tyr and Katara are alike this way.;;]

[blastiafreak]

I used the books because they were right here! If there's a ladder around, I can find it just fine.

[They are~ They already make such good parents! :3]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

You should have tried finding a ladder before trying the books. Or you could have just used a chair instead.

[They dooo~ if you mean scolding their kid silly, then they're good!]

[blastiafreak]

It'd be a waste of time to go wandering around looking for one when the book I needed was just right there.

[They sure are!]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

It's the right thing to do because books are meant for reading, not for climbing.

[Just the best~]

[blastiafreak]

I know what they're for.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Then, why are you still using them inappropriately?

[blastiafreak]

Why do you care? They're not your books!

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, if I were the owner I'd care. [Pause.] What are you looking for, anyway?

[blastiafreak]

Hmph. If. [Grumblegrumble.]

A book, what else?

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

A book about what exactly?

[blastiafreak]

...Rate constants for complexed mana flow using a standard translation formula.

[She just happened to have a realization about something...else.]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

That... seems to be a very hard topic for a book.

[Ohoho Rita~]

[blastiafreak]

Not really. They're just quick reference values.

[K-kissing confused her okay. ;_;]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

You really do know a lot about science.

[Kissing Sokka or someone ~else~?]

[blastiafreak]

You would too if you studied it as long as I have.

[Someone else~ :3 Though it's also about who she...didn't kiss~]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

For how long, if you don't mind my asking?

[Oho, do tell who are these people~]
