Additional Information

Ambient Messaging

Majestic in its movement, the tome uses its long legs to move across the room at a steady glide.  The leather tome fans its pages, creating a mesmerizing display of grandiose beauty.  The tome lifts one leg up, points it straight back, and with a graceful swoop of its leg does a backflip to land on a single leg.  Pleased with itself, it moves back to stand at your side, still fanning its pages leisurely.

The leather tome fans its pages in mock disdain, the quiet fluttering of the parchments shifting back and forth, all while standing perfectly upon a single, pale pink leg.  A small fleck of dust flits through the air and lands between two pages, which causes the tome to go into a fit.  It prances around, shaking its pages wildly.  It comes to a halt and goes back to its statuesque posture, ignoring the fit.

The leather tome curls its long legs back and sits on the ground, its pages and cover standing vertically.  A brisk breeze blows through the area and knocks the tome over.  Its pages flail around while fragments of parchment fly until the leather tome finally is able to get situated and stands back up, regal as ever.
