[Or: Local tiny adventurer hoards furniture. There are few things in life Emil has wanted more in the past, hmm, year-ish than his own goddamn room with a real bed, and what do you know! This place has neither privacy nor appropriate bedroom furniture! So, things could be going better. There's a decent chance his impassioned complaining about this problem could be heard earlier-- no quiet in this library, no sir-- but now he's come up with a great plan!!

It's pushing furniture into a corner for himself. That's the plan. Himself and his One Friend (tm), because he brought that one along, but it's just Emil who's putting in the effort to push a couple of couches and the squishiest-looking armchairs into a sizeable corner of this lounge floor. He was wearing a stylish cape, now draped over the corner of one such couch to claim it, and he's working diligently on scooting his second armchair over to the same Zone. Said Zone also has a notebook sitting open on the floor that says TAKEN!!! with a scribble of what looks like a very round, very angry cat? It's a work in progress.

If you are in The Zone, he will pop his head out from behind said chair to complain:]

Hey! That's my stuff! Can't you see the sign?

[The sign... on the floor.

If you are NOT in The Zone and instead catch him on his way to pick out more furniture that is his now, or perhaps taking a break from it:]

This place is the worst.

[Or: Local tiny man tries to hang up a dart board. He has one! It's fun! Probably, he's never, like, played darts on purpose before, or anything... but it's probably fun and he has one from home and so he's going to hang it up!!

Problems, immediately:

1) It's 90 years old. The dart board. It looks it.
2) Emil is like 5'5"? This thing is going up at Emil Height if he isn't helped.

He's wandering around holding up this ancient dart board in various places and humming thoughtfully for a while, too, before he realizes problem 3) How... does he hang this up, actually...

It is at this point he actually turns to seek out help, a herculean effort.]

Ummm, question... Do you think we'll get in trouble for taking one of these ugly clocks down?

[It's "we'll" now, thanks for coming.]

[Emil has never seen a movie before. Not important, he knows what movies are (broadly), but he has never until this moment sat down and watched one.

It's actually kind of boring, he decides. Sitting here looking at a screen? Okay? And the big deal is what, exactly? But he doesn't say anything, mercifully, despite being the exact type of person who would talk through an entire film...

Until a good fifteen, twenty minutes in, when he leans slightly towards whoever else is enjoying this Lifetime-tier flick with him.]

Soooo... what is this supposed to be teaching us, again?

[It's definitely not that kind of film, but again: broadly.]
