5th Treasure - [Voice]

[ps3pirate]

[It'd been another one of those mornings. One of those mornings where the house felt a little emptier. Patty'd hoped she wouldn't ever have to make one of these announcements, but there's no one left to take the burden off her shoulders, now. There's only her. ... Well, her and Alexei, but she can't exactly ask him to announce this.

When she opens the journal, she tries to make her voice sound as airy as possible. Of course, she doesn't entirely succeed. There's a kind of stuffiness to her tone that makes it seem as if she's got a bad cold.]

To everyone who knew her, Estelle's gone back home. There's a small ocean of library books in her room, so I guess I'll have to return those myself, ya know.

So... While I've got this thing open, I might as well ask. Anyone here handy with a pair of scissors and a mop of hair? My locks've been getting longer than a whale's tail, ya know. I could use a good cut.

Ah. I see. Estelle...she'll definitely be missed in the library. I-I'm sorry to hear that though.

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

[Patty puts on a strained smile, hoping she can get her voice as cheerful as possible.]

Ahh, aye. But it'll be fine! She's back where she belongs, ya know.

[voice]

[folklorist]

That's true. I-I hope she at least has a very good life to return to back at home. [ Some people weren't as lucky unfortunately. And sometimes Luceti was the better alternative for them. ]

But it's still alright to be sad about it. She was a good friend of yours I take it?

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

Aye. Me and Estelle, we're from the same world, ya know. Don't worry, her life back home's nicer than the clearest ocean.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Ah. That's very comforting to know. She was a very sweet girl. And she was a very big help at the library. She'll definitely be missed. [ Speaking of which. Helios will venture tentatively with this question. ]

Do you, um, need help taking th-the books back? Y-You don't have to give them back right away. [ He knows somethings can have sentimental value after all, and he wouldn't want to upset the young girl anymore than she might be. ]

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

Oh no! No, it's fine! I'm not much of a book person. I'd rather get 'm back to the library as soon as possible. ...So other people can read 'm, ya know! [That, and she just doesn't want the reminders around the house for too long.]

I can get 'm back by myself. It'll give me something to do!

[voice]

[folklorist]

Ah. Alright. If you need any help though, feel free to ask. The library is always open usually into the late evenings.

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

Naw, it's fine, I'll put the books back myself! Or uhm... should I leave 'm all on the counter so you can sort through 'm?

[voice]

[folklorist]

[ Helios will hum on his end as he thinks about what to do. ]

Ah, well, you can just leave them on the counter. Myself and the other librarians can sort through them when we have time. I do appreciate the offer to help, so you can stop by anytime. Whatever is best and easiest for you, there's no rush.
