Someone wrapped up in a sheet bumps into his feet.

[ostro_goth]

"Oh - what's that?"

It looks like a cat in a toga.

[young_womble]

"I'm stuck" says a muffled voice.

[ostro_goth]

Like a very small cat in a very large human toga, in fact.

"Where is the opening?"

[young_womble]

"I don't know, I think it's a duvet." He falls over. "I got tanged when it blew."

[ostro_goth]

Teja bends and feels the toga, and the cat.

"Oh, is that Wellington Womble inside?" he says, patting the collapsed end of the flimsy, sorry mess.

"It has caught you."

[young_womble]

"Yes, it blew at me, and I got stuck. If I rip it it won't be as useful."

[ostro_goth]

"So you would need to find the end," Teja says, starting to dig around in the endless swathes of white, thin material with his hands. "It has to end somewhere! If it was infinite, it would not have fit through the door."

[young_womble]

"There should be an end with a hole."

There's a flash of a fluffy paw.

[ostro_goth]

"There you are!" Teja says, making a grab at the fluff that is not toga material.

[young_womble]

The Womble is yoinked out, not weighing very much.

"Gosh, thank awfully. My glasses were getting all steamed up in there."

[ostro_goth]

"But at least you still have them," Teja says. "They aid you to see better, do they not?"

[young_womble]

"Yes, I don't see very well at all without them."

[ostro_goth]

"So, what is that white thing, then?" Teja says, trying to pick it up from the floor.

There are lots of material.

[young_womble]

"I think it's a duvet. Though why it was left, I don't know. Doesn't have fleas."

[ostro_goth]

"What is a duvet?" Teja asks. "Why would it have fleas? Is it some kind of creature, then?"

[young_womble]

"I don't know what humans use it for. I think it's like a padded blanket when it has the inside bit in."

[ostro_goth]

"Oh, a blanket," Teja says, shaking it out so the material billows over the floor. "Or it could be some sort of sail?"

[young_womble]

Wellington shakes his head.

"I studied boats when we made one, this doesn't have the right bits on it."

[ostro_goth]

"It would be a blanket for a very tall man in a rather hot country," Teja ponders, now trying to fold the material.

[young_womble]

"Maybe." the Womble nods. "We'll probably cut it carefully."

[ostro_goth]

"What would you make of it?" Teja asks, folding more.

[young_womble]

Wellington considers.

"Probably a dust cloth."

[ostro_goth]

"One dust cloth?" Teja says. "You could dust a small country with that!"

[young_womble]

"Oh, no, it goes against the roof." Wellington explains.
