Day 11

Welcome to the next part of the plot. This part is a bit harder and slightly differnet so stick with me!

Head over to the Archives and click the lenny sticking out of the pillar. Woah! It's the lenny from the lenny conundrum!

"Hey, you! Listen, you know Finneus, the archivist, right? I heard him say you've been helping him with some kind of... history puzzle, or something. I don't know, but anyway. Finneus is my uncle, and I want to give him a special surprise for his birthday, which is coming up soon. It's the fourteenth day after the square root of the number of Grundos you find in the--er, sorry, nevermind. Force of habit. Anyway, look, here's what I want to do: He's got this favourite Meepit plushie of his, yeah? And I want to decorate it all nice for his birthday."

He grumps. "But I want it to be a surprise! He's always in that office of his, so I can't get ahold of it. If I hang around until he turns his back, he'll get suspicious. But since you're always in there, you could get it without him noticing. So, can you help me?"

Well, we need a distraction eh? So head over to the Lenny Archivist. Click the red vase on the back corner desk. This is what will happen:

You throw a pebble at the vase. The archivist spins around at the sound of something plinking against the vase. "What? What's was that? Did you hear something?" Now click the meepit plushie sitting on his desk to get the meepit.

The archivist shrugs and turns back around. "Oh well. I'm just hearing things as I get old, I suppose. Say, I wonder where I put that Meepit plushie..."

"Great, you got the plushie! I--" He looks at it, startled. "Wait a second, this isn't his favourite Meepit plushie. That one has, uh, um... well..." He scratches his head. "It's a little different, it's got a... a thingy... Look, I'll know it when I see it. You've got to go and get his favourite plushie. Hurry! His birthday is only 94 times the number of bolts on the Virtupets Space Station seconds away!"Head back over to the Lenny Conundrum Lenny to give him the meepit. Sadly this is not the meepit he was looking for, so we'll need to find it.

Return back to the Archives and click on the door handle of the door to the left. You're greeted with a library.

Welcome to the Altadorian Library. Yes there is plenty of books but that's not quite what we care about at the moment. For now click on either the door at the top of the room or on the right of the room three times, then click the door directly to the right of the topmost door.

You hide the box of Meepit plushies in another closet. Now the Archivist will never find them! Click 'Hide the box'. Return to the Lenny Archivist and click the vase at the back of the room to distract him once more. Grab the meepit plushie and this time the archivist it a bit more dismayed.

The archivist shrugs and turns back around. "Oh well. I'm just hearing things as I get old, I suppose. Oh no! My favorite Meepit plushie is gone!" He sobs, dismayed.

"Excellent!" he cheers as you bring him Finneus's favourite Meepit plushie. "This is the real one. Now, let me just put this ribbon on it--" RRRRIP! "Uh oh." Return to the Lenny Conundrum Lenny to give him the plushie. He's not very good with handling things of course, so he rips it. ._. Click the button, "Uh-oh."

"Oh no! I tore the Meepit's head off! Woe!" He looks down at the headless Meepit plushie. "I--hey, what's this?" He reaches into the plushie and pulls out an old, dull, rusted dagger that was hidden inside the plushie. "Huh, some kind of dagger stored inside the plushie. How weird. Oh well. I guess you better give this plushie back to Finneus. I hope he's not mad at me!" Of course you're quite lucky that he does rip it because inside the plushie lies a dagger. By clicking that dagger, you receive the next constellation!

By heading over to the archivist you get this next message:

The archivist sniffles as you enter. "Oh, my poor Meepit plushie! My absolute favorite! But at least my nephew meant well when he destroyed it by accident. And of course, it led to finding a clue! How fortuitous! Well, you best be off to the observatory while I mourn my poor Meepit plushie."

I think he took that over the top. -_- But anyway, Return to your Telescope to plot your next constellation. To get your coordinates, Click here. If you want to find the coordinated immediatly Plug them in here. Your finished constellations should look like this [Note you are looking for the thief constellation]:

Yay, another constellation found! Yes, yes, I know you desirely wish to brag from the bottoms of your hearts, but we have to do one thing first. Please, do not moan, that's very rude. :P Look at the ceiling of the statue for Kelland the Thief to see it light up:

Now to see people's opinions on your new findings! Janitor is mad as usual for some stupid thing, the Astronomy club is still trying to get rid of the president, while the Lenny Archivist has more news on the next constellation.

Janitor: The janitor hurls a book of Lenny Conundrums to the floor and shouts, "RARRRGHH!! THESE CONUNDRUMS ARE TOO HARD!! I'LL CRUSH THAT LENNY IF I SEE HIM!!"

Astronomy Club:The Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the club president, who grabs a protractor and threatens you with it every time you come near him.
The other club members give you overly casual nods. The Wocky sidles up and whispers, "Don't worry, we'll be making our move soon. In the meantime, hang onto this. And don't ask where I got it."
The Wocky explains, "Let's just say it might come in handy later on. Or it might not." She winks and wanders away.

Lenny Archivist: The archivist says, "Naturally, Kelland, the Thief, would have his constellation found on a dagger. Indeed."
He lets out a sigh. "This would seem to remove Kelland from the list of suspects. It would have made the most sense, 'twere it him, but alas. I still cannot accept that Fauna, Jerdana, or even Altador himself could be responsible for this!" He blinks. "Unless... wait a moment... something is stirring in my memory..." He glances up at the ceiling for a moment, as if peering into the distance. "Ah HA!" he shouts. "Yes, I think I know where to look. This search may bear no fruit, but I must try. I will have to go into the archives for a while. But continue your search; there are only three constellations left to find, and we may not have much time left."

Time to look at the book of ages for pages 36 - 39:

Chapter 9 The Thief There is an old saying that it takes a thief to catch a thief. There is some truth to this old adage, as was proven by Kelland, the Techo thief... Born into a life of thievery, Kelland never questioned his role in society, much less whether what he did was right or wrong. Stealing was simply a part of his nature. One day, he watched as a tired Elephante collected his weekly wages, and headed down a dark, empty alley. Moments later, an Aisha jumped from a nearby rooftop, grabbed the Elephante's small coin purse, and escaped into the shadows, leaving the poor worker helpless. For the first time in his life, Kelland felt something stir inside of him. Was it sympathy? When he returned to the thieves' den later that night, Kelland saw the Aisha thief lounging about. Disgusted, Kelland walked past the Aisha, and using his great stealth, stole the coin pouch back. Quietly, the Techo returned to the streets, to where he had seen the Elephante sullenly trudge home. Kelland placed the pouch on the Elephante's doorstep and knocked, then leapt onto the roof. Below, he heard the door open, followed by a gasp of joy. The Elephante looked around, but saw no one. "Whoever returned this," he said into the cold night, "has my eternal gratitude. Thank you." He left a few of the coins on his doorstep and closed the door. Kelland dropped to the street and picked up the coins. He felt oddly fulfilled, something his life of crime had never brought him. From that moment on, the Techo used his skills for good whenever possible, doing his best to ensure that the working poor did not suffer from crime. Word soon spread about this reformed thief, and it wasn't long before a wise Lupe asked him to join his council, for light from darkness is a rare quality indeed.

More news coming soon!
