[ Today, you get a video of...someone fiddling with the device, briefly, before pointing it in the direction opposite them. It isn't very clear, or well-aimed, but that's what happens when you're not used to using this sort of thing.

What one can see, though, is an upturned table in the library. And someone sort of...caught under it. How suspicious. And dangerous!

And then the camera turns back to its owner, who seems much better off than the other person. ]

Mm, as you can see, there's been a bit of a...situation. As it happens, these tables are a lot harder to lift than one would think! It's a shame, how getting caught up with what's been happening today might cause that to be forgotten.

If there's anyone around here, I'm sure both of us could use a bit of help.

[ Not.......actually cursed! Though it's possible to make that mistake, even if it doesn't quite match the symptoms. Feel free to figure that out; it's up to you, dear City.

Action possible for those in the library or anyone who just wants to pop in and help or whatever. ]

[ OMG ] Are you all right!

[ It's a dog, it's a bird, no it's LIAM to the rescue! By which that means he'll panic for several long minutes before finally dashing around the Stacks looking for poor Leo. It can't be that hard to find him in a... library? ]

[ Oh, yes. Since he's not the one under the table, after all. ]

That was faster than I expected!

[ Liam frowns and wipes his brow. This library is huge you know! But it's a good thing he knows Leo's tastes in books. ]

I... came as fast as I could. [ he frowns, still catching his breath ] Just what exactly happened here?

[ Oh, how embarrassing. ]

That's probably less important than helping out, right?

[ fjdsa he slides that handkerchief away ] Y-yes! Of course. Perhaps if you... [ he gulps ] That table looks heavy. [ and long. Good grief! ]

Mm, it is.

[ Be a man, Liam! ]

[ HE'S NOT MULAN ] Ah... then I guess we'll just have to try. If we can't do it ourselves, perhaps, with a bit of leverage...

[ he starts rolling up his sleeves, attempting to come up with a plan. Any kind of plan. That poor soul needed his help! ]

[ No, but the mental image is great. Or terrifying. ]

Do you have something in mind, then?

[ you don't think he could pull her off? >: ]

I'm thinking on it, but one of the ladders might prove useful, if we could get it underneath the table to begin with. Or, perhaps, we could simply lift up on edge high enough... [ he puts a hand to the table, looking around for a grip ] If we can get the boy to crawl out, that might be for the best.

[ he takes a deep breath ] Are you ready?

[ He's a bit too...blonde. ]

We can try this first.

[ Alright, getting on the other side-- it really should be easier with another person here. ...another person, who didn't actually cause this. ]
