Library, Wednesday

[era_two_triangle]

The books themselves seemed to be fairly well-behaved today in the library. It was the Gem who was acting a bit oddly. One minute she'd be following something around curiously, and then, at the drop of a hat, she'd turn on it and start terrorising it with her teeth.

The books were hiding from her, honestly. Which was an interesting feat in a room that was more book than anything else. But the way she was just hunkering behind the desk come early afternoon, ominously bathed in shadows, was just too much for any one library to deal with today. So the books were noping out on this one and not a single person could blame them.

Give her ten minutes and she'd be up on the desk and singing or something.

[OOC: This event is the event that I have always needed in my heart of hearts. Open, OCD-free, and spamming that random icon button for all it's worth today!]

"...that sounds a little like home," Mara admitted, staring down at her navel.

Which was exposed now, apparently.

"Well," Peridot said, frowning and kind of dangling forward as the library outfitted her with a toddler harness and leashed her to the wall, "we do call it Homeworld."

[giveherahand]

"Where they use harnesses?" Mara asked, arching her eyebrows.

[era_two_triangle]

"No," Peridot muttered as she took a seat on the floor and sulked a bit, "the harness was an Earth thing."

[giveherahand]

"An Earth thing?" Mara snickered. "What for?"

[era_two_triangle]

"As far as I can tell," Peridot said, looking more than a little bit manic as her harness released her, "it's for containing and restraining alien species of diminutive size."

Or children.

[giveherahand]

"Maybe we should get some of those," Mara mused.

Mara, NO.

And that was about the moment when the Pearl appeared from out of nowhere and punched Peridot in the face.

"WHY??"

Mara was absolutely welcome to put Pearl in a child harness.
