Eh…

>lock book with cable
I don’t see what you are talking about.

>tie cable around book
I don’t see what you are talking about.

>tie cable to book
I don’t see what you are talking about.

...and it’s still a library book, budgie.

Aha! We’re making progress. (Forgot to burn the book again, wilco.)

>get chip
Yours, sticky pudding.

(The rubber is really strong and stretchy for how thin it is, isn’t it?  I got it from a company that makes weapons-grade slingshots.)

You look at the book again and start biting one of your knuckles pensively.  You need to put it out of your mind.

>put gem in rubber
That isn’t a container, marshmallow twimble.  Unless I’m misunderstanding what you are trying to do.

>put gem in pouch
As strong and stretchy as the rubber is, you basically have a slingshot now that something is in the pouch.  You could SHOOT SOMETHING.  If I’m going to patent this, I should think about whether this unanticipated functionality exposes me to any legal risk.

Primrose sings about how she uses a green pen when she writes about the recurrent dream with the seahorses.  You are unperturbed.

>shoot pen
You’re a really good shot!  The tater tot misses the pen by less than half an inch and hits the wall, where it shatters.

I think you’ve the right idea, though.  One more shot and I bet you’ll hit it.

>burn book with lighter
(first taking the book)
I was secretly hoping you would.  You light the book on fire and it burns magnificently!  Yay!  That was epic to watch, and now we don’t have to deal with you being tempted anymore to read.

The coughing and light smoke damage are well worth it.  I’ll go halfsies on the library fine.

As for the sprinkler: nothing.  Not one drop.  Don’t even pretend to be surprised to learn that the University gives graduate students offices in a death-trap.

That isn’t available.

>remove gum
(standing up first)
You take the gum out of your ears.

>put gum in pouch
No.  If you put a sticky piece of gum in there, it’s never coming out again.

>i
You’re carrying a small chip, a bit of lilac thread, a rubber square, a lighter, an empty plastic bottle, a notebook, a spectacularly intricate origami trophy and a deftly-crafted snowglobe, and you’re wearing the platyPod.

You also have gum in your ears.

I am going to be so angry if you’re hiding a story about Julia doing some kind of Pavlovian conditioning experiments on you with the perfume when the two of you dated.*

>*
Don’t even try to act like that’s implausible.  Julia is so twisted.  This is the woman who once asked if she could put on an album of recorded 911 calls while the two of you were intimate.  (And you continued dating her afterwards!  Unbelievable!)

Yep, that’s pretty sick.

Maybe also:
>put lighter in pouch
>shoot pen

I still don’t see how a pen is going to help us with Julia’s perfume.

I think it’s a separate problem we have to solve.

>put lighter in pouch
The lighter is a bit too long to fit in the pouch.

You’re looking out the window again.  Zombies, pirates, and aliens are all in the park now, mock-fighting.

So what else do we have? I bet the bottle is too big as well.

>put bottle in pouch
You can’t put that in the pouch.

Right…

Oh if the lighter doesn’t work,

> put snowglobe in pouch

At least the snowglobe will be useful for something.

Watch it beagle! Violet handcrafted the lovely, beautiful, wonderful snowglobe especially for you!

>put snowglobe in pouch
The snowglobe is too big to fit in the pouch.

What a relief. I mean, we were THAT close to Violet ending our relationship again.

>throw snowglobe at pen
I love that globe.  I let you have it because you kept saying it was brilliant.

I understand that it is probably the object here you can throw most accurately.  But, of course it’s going to shatter.  If you really think you need that pen in order to write today—ugh.  Just don’t miss, okay?

>g
You aim carefully and throw.  The globe hits the side of the sprinkler and shatters.  That wasn’t even especially close.  I guess your crazy stories of Little League trauma weren’t exaggerations.

At least the figurine looks undamaged.  And you recognise now that the wooden base of the snowglobe was just a coaster of yours that I stole.

>x figurine
Luckily he’s not damaged.  He looks smaller outside the globe.  I don’t know if I will want to make another snowglobe or do something different.

Primrose sings about how the boy asked her for ice cream and that she assumes he will either tell her about Jesus or try to recruit her into some multilevel marketing scheme.
