Lets see if we can get it to follow us using just the pinwheel, if that doesn't work do one of the other things.

Do those markings on the outer walls represent windows? If so we might be able to open them up and shoo it out somehow.

So it looks like the far window on the bottom left of the map would be the easiest to lead/shoo out the wind spirit without being in sight of the counter. If we can, open that window. (As I said before, the back alley labeled "concrete" doesn't feel attractive enough.) If it's a nice day maybe even ask one of the librarians to do it, so it's all official-like.

After that, it's experiment time. Waving the hand fan about might look a bit odd but seems least likely to cause a complaint. If we wave it at the geist, does it try to follow where we point the breeze or does it try to blow wind back against us? In the first case we can try to lead it out the window by pointing our breeze in that direction; in the latter case we would have to point away from the window and back up (I see this ending with us throwing the fan out the window for it to chase). Both ways I like the idea of leaving the pinwheel outside in the space marked garden as extra enticement to go out the window. Try to hug the far left wall, away from the librarians.

As far as Plan B stuff we can try (quietly) leaving a line of rocks down the middle left aisle, right along the ends of the shelves and also put some rocks atop the shelf ends, to encourage the geist to keep to the far left. I don't know if we can pull it off surreptitiously, however. Depends on how many other people are about.


Lets see if we can get it to follow us using just the pinwheel, if that doesn't work do one of the other things.

You know what, if it does want to follow / play with the pinwheel, that's probably easier than the whole thing I cooked up. We could either lead it to the window and try the "fetch" thing, or even walk it right out the front door. People might give us a glance or two but we'd be leaving anyway.

Well, time to take the pinwheel for a spin.

It's Magic, I Ain't Gotta Explain 屁 Roll: 4 [Success]



...well, that was easier than expected. Now I just take my wildly spinning pinwheel to a window and let it out, right? Without anyone asking weird questions.



Hmm. This is not as convenient as I'd hoped. It looks like a simple self-locking latch, though, so I can probably just jimmy it...

Deftness: 2 + 0 [Failure]



Uhhh. So the pinwheel is on the floor, the spirit is wondering why it won't spin any more, the window is still thoroughly locked, and that was pretty loud.



1.  > Quickly grab the pinwheel off the floor and hope the spirit doesn't freak out! Then go for the door.
2.  > Play it cool. Pick up the pinwheel and move away, act like nothing happened. Try again in a minute.
3.  > _

Good to have you back Arx :) Feel free to take as long as you need on your awesome artwork. A good, slow game is better than a fast, rushed one that stresses you out.

Anyway, I think we should go with number 1) Quickly grab the pinwheel off the floor and hope the spirit doesn't freak out! Then go for the door.

Choice number one for sure.
Might want to move back among the shelves and circle around casually toward the door rather than just bolting for freedom. (but don't try the window again)

Without anyone asking weird questions.

Who would ask questions? Either it's battery powered or they're crazy. Just be cool, Mel, nobody's gonna freak out unless you start freaking out.

If we're running and holding a spinning pinwheel, it doesn't look strange because of course the pinwheel spinning is the natural result of us running.
On the other hand, running in a library is probably frowned upon regardless.

Pick it up, quickly but not urgently, and walk out the front door at a brisk and even pace while waving the pinwheel playfully.

Sure, we will look like a crazy person, but if we don't make trouble for anyone looking like a crazy person isn't too terrible or uncommon.

...well, darn. That didn't work the way I wanted it to. Now the spirit's slamming its head against the window like an oversized, underweight fly.

I wish I could draw something that decent in just 28 minutes.

I concur with Naturegirl, let's open the window. Quickly. The librarian will probably be annoyed with us regardless, so let's at least finish the job.

Open the window, follow the spirit. See what it's after.
