does not anymore work

[campanas]

Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:

an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

It was, in fact, room 427.
The beds are a reasonably normal size for a human being. Will Peninnah fit?

[campanas]

She would need at least three of them next to each other, ideally four.

[whatamithinking]

Blast.
Edie looks speculatively at the metal bedframes, then at Emily.

[iamnotpolaris]

"No, Edie, that's a terrible idea."
To Peninnah she adds, "she was thinking of having me stretch out the frames of the beds to make them wider, and then just grabbing extra bedding. But we canask for another bed or two to be hauled up here--or rather, get permission for me to do it myself, and I"m not confident in either my ability to put it back exactly the same way after, or the structural integrity of a taffy-pulled bedframe."

[whatamithinking]

"It was just a thought."

[campanas]

Pen shrugs. "Not tired now anyhow."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Well, sure, it's the middle of the afternoon. ...Hm. Normally part of the reason we show people their rooms first is so they can drop off your stuff, but you literally only have the clothes on your back, don't you?

[campanas]

"Yeah."

[whatamithinking]

"And made of leather to boot. We should probably get you some new clothes. It's not too hard to alter a shirt to allow wings through."

[campanas]

"Something bad about leather?" wonders Pen.

[whatamithinking]

"It's August. Aren't you boiling in that outfit?"

[campanas]

"Little bit. Is for high altitude."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Makes sense. It's easy to heat up metal with magnetism, so I've never had a problem with it, but I'm aware that the reason I don't have a problem with altitudes is that I have a way of keeping warm easily."

[campanas]

"Angels very warm. Is inconvenient when hot places, but Mommy safed us, so only a bit too warm."

[whatamithinking]

"Convenient. Well, unless there are any objections, I'm going to see if I can find some old clothes in your size to cut wing holes in."

[campanas]

"Okay. Not skirts. Because flying."

[whatamithinking]

"No skirts, or any skirts should be accompanied with leggings?" Edie gestures at Emily's beskirted figure.

[campanas]

"Leggings maybe work," concedes Pen. "Also maybe a pretty dress for not flying in."

[whatamithinking]

"Sure thing," Edie says, and leaves, presumably to acquire clothing.

[iamnotpolaris]

"So what do you usually do for fun?"

[campanas]

"Sing fly play games read."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Well, we've got plenty of books, and flying's definitely always fun. Shall we head to the library, then? Most of the books are there, and the main library windows are a traditional take-off point for flying students who don't want to climb the stairs to the roof."

[campanas]

"Okay."

[iamnotpolaris]

They head to the library!
Most of the chairs aren't really designed for people with wings, but there are some comfortable objects probably originally intended as footrests that appear to have been pressed into the same service.
"Remind me to introduce you to Warren at some point," Emily says as she looks at them.

[campanas]

"Who is?"
