I think most of us have been in that position at some point, here. I had to get help moving my things to House 7.

[it takes a bit of effort to clamber over to the other side, but Jilly does it without hesitation. Once on the stairs, she can get a better look at where the chair has gotten stuck]

[Sally tries to use her new position to inspect the situation.]

I should have waited, but for being so new and different, this place is shockingly dull. Books are all well and good, but I need to keep busy or I get so frustrated, so this was at least a project; something with physical results. [She gives a sheepish smile.] Although it's turning out to be a bit too physical.

[theoniongirl]

[she laughs] That is one of the hardest things to adjust to, at first. And I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. You got it this far.

I can see where it's stuck. If we tilt it a bit to the right...your left, I guess...it should come free?

[cop_an_attitude]

Um...right, let me just... [She wiggles the chair toward her left until she can sort of feel it come unstuck.] Did we get it?

[theoniongirl]

[almost...almost....there]

Yes!

[she gives Sally a triumphant smile as she quickly shifts her grip and takes a careful step backwards]

Alright...where are we headed?

[cop_an_attitude]

Up. [She pauses.] ...A lot. But it shouldn't be very hard to lift.

[theoniongirl]

[she laughed] I think we can manage. Just tell me when.

[and, making sure her grip is secure, she'll lift her side]

[cop_an_attitude]

All right, erm - [she adjusts her grip and lifts up her end.] When? [and she takes a careful step upward, making sure not to catch Jilly off guard]

Just let me know if you need to stop, or want to take a break, or anything.

[theoniongirl]

[she laughed] I'm stronger than I look. But I'll let you know.

[and up they go]

[cop_an_attitude]

I don't doubt it, but as someone who's had to carry furniture up steps before, it tends to do a number on the back.

[theoniongirl]

I'll be careful. Promise.

[cop_an_attitude]

[Makin' gradual progress, aww yeah.]

So, what were you up to when you spotted me in my sorry state?
