[Puzzle 013]

[Part 1

Homework on the weekends is just plain unfair! Luke chooses not to bring this up with his favorite teacher, however, opting instead to carry his notebook and papers and books to somewhere else to study. He considers the library, standing before its door for a while, but in the end he turns around and goes through the Welcome Center to the Tea Shop instead. The sense of bustle helps him get all distracted concentrate.

Plus, there's tea. He chooses an empty table and spreads out everything he'll need. As usual, this turns pretty quickly into him sitting there with a full cup of tea while he devises puzzles on paper or of paper. At the height of his distraction he builds a tower of folded paper cubes...and a gust of wind through the window scatters them all across the floor.

Then he's got to pick them up again.

Part 2

After all - or most - of his schoolwork is finished, Luke shoulders his bag and heads off to the stables. Just because Mr. Greg went home is no reason to slack in his responsibilities! He loves the horses and they tend to like him too. Besides, he brought carrots.

He greets any fellow stablehands and goes about his horsey business, picking up a rake to start on clearing one of the stalls. Of course, you've got to get the horse out of it first.

What happens next isn't quite clear to him once it's over; all he knows is that something spooked the horse and he managed to get out of the way before it kicked, and now he's on the ground with the rake's handle trapped beneath him. Pushing himself up again, he sees that the sound he heard must have been said handle half-snapping as he landed on it. Then he notices something else.

A bit shaky, he goes back to his bag and fumbles his journal out of it.]


I think there's...a bit of a problem... I'm at the- the stables and I fell and, uh...I might be hurt.

[Though he sounds unsure, it's the kind of unsure that really makes one sure.]

[[ooc: Go ahead. Break time. You know you want to. It'll be great. (Meaning, of course more than one person can find him at the tea shop/pick up papers with him/discover his fate in the stables. Have fun!)]]

[Paper, you say? Paper that is moving? Why, that's the best kind to chase! She boops a few of the cubes forward with her paws playfully before a snapping sound from behind her makes her cease.

Aww man :<.]

Nana, no. we don't play with someone else's papercraft. That isn't very cool. It's actually the opposite of cool. It's rude.

[Nana growls begrudgingly. She hates to admit it, but Ruby's right.]

[Then, to Luke-] I'm sorry about your things, do you need help picking these up? [...Whatever these 'things' are, that is.]

[And help he will! Crouching down to pick up these cubes now doo-die-doo~]

...Were you trying to make a fort from them? [He's examining some of the ones in his hands]
contestconqueror: (Ahahaha...)

[He chuckles at the notion of a fort. It's not condescending though. He's more amused than anything.]

Oh, no thank you. Nana and I came here to maybe try a different type of tea.

[Bark bark! Yeah!]

Though... what type of puzzle involves paper cubes? I'm curious.

Um- well my mom and I used to drink spelon tea, but there are no berries from my world that grow here in order to make it. I've been drinking black tea as a sort of substitute since I arrived here. Now I'm trying to branch out to something fancier... maybe something spicy like spelon? [In other words: he's clueless and came here to browse.]

- Ice... and possibly magic? [Okaythen.jpg] So were paper the cubes repesenting ice cubes, then? What were you trying to get them to do?
