[...Very true. Best of luck, and maybe tell one of the mages? They might have a good idea how to deal with it.]

Sit by the piece of paper, waiting. Stare at it, stubornly. After some time, try to repeat the formar action.

You stare, glower and smolder at the piece of paper. It is both unamused and unashamed - a combination you did not expect at all. It is clearly trying to be clever. That means that you can only try to do the same. After a bit of thought devoted to the subject, you suppose you're ready to try again - this time, though, you'll do it better! You'll do it in a way the paper does not expect it.

With this in mind, you set upon the piece of paper once again in a moment, distracting it with deft hand movements while performing a more unorthodox maneuver, biting down on it with your teeth! It seems to work, and although the paper tries to open up your jaws and propel itself out of your mouth, your sharp canines (you're secretly glad the Aspect of Appeal decided to preserve that aspect of your appearance now) hold it in place nicely. You raise your arms in triumph as the paper is secured wonderfully.

You then recall that the paper is likely to explode or mutilate physics any second now, at which point you make a break for the deck. In what you are sure could have been the last few seconds of your life, you spit the piece of paper out of your mouth over the side of the ship.

It slightly bothers you when it just hangs there, remaining at the same level in front of you. It appears to have taken on the ship's velocity somehow.

Well, if Sigmund couldn't get rid of the paper, maybe he could interact with it somehow? He said, from a reasonable distance:

-I'm sorry for tha, but I don't know if you are dangerous or not. If you mean any harm to us, hover up and down. If you just want me to leave you alone, hover right and left.

The paper begins to hover toward you, then hovers away, then hovers back.

-A third option? You are interested in something else? Hover up and down for yes, or to the sides for no.

((This is getting even weirder than expected))

The paper responds by spinning in place.

This paper is not sentient, or it is trying to make fun out of Sigmund. In either case, it doesn't deserve more attention. Inverse psychology, perhaps? That should teach that pesky piece of paper to don't bother other people. He could always tell the Artiste about it if something happened, anyway.

Resume my planned schedule.

As you turn away from the paper, you hear a *foom* sound. Glancing back, you notice that the paper is now enveloped in magenta-colored flames.

Keep ignoring it, but walk away slowly, to give it time to react.

A very low hum begins to issue from the piece of paper and it begins to shake visibly as you approach the stairs.
