CATCHALL LOG - JULY MISSIONS

[oneandmikleonly]

[What it says on the tin: got a July mission you want to play out? Feel free to thread it in here! Please note in the subject header what mission it is and if it's open to all or closed to a smaller group. If you want to make your own separate log for a mission, that's fine too, of course!

Remember to check out the OOC planning/mission signups to see what's going on, claim your own missions, or poke other people if you want to join in on theirs!]

reinforcing + more rooms: OPEN

a. reinforcing: man octopus always carries gun in case he needs to escalate situation
[That's right. This terraforming gun is his.

Meaning, Fukami borrowed it and currently he's swimming back and forth outside of the base. He appears to be getting the lay of the land as the terraforming gun is securely grasped in one of his tentacles. Ignoring a few rabbitrays interested and eager to play, he'll just test this out and--oh wow, that's sure a thing. It really just makes land just like that.]

Hm. [An unconscious mental noise. Sorry, people.

But don't mind him, he'll just be knocking over the little piece he made before getting to... doing something. He appears to be building up the earth around the bottoms and foundations of the base, at any rate... and he might work on a part of a wall or two today. Don't worry about it. Surely looking out the window and seeing a gradually growing earth wall in the distance won't be unnerving in the least. Not at all.]


b. private rooms 2: electric boogaloo
[When he's not busy messing with the surrounding landscape, Fukami... works both inside and outside the base. You can catch him walking up and down the corridors of the base, checking things here or there, a hand (or tentacle) at his chin as he thinks about how to proceed. It's fine. Don't think about why he's standing and pondering too much.

Maybe you'll just be walking along when you see pink out of the corner of your eye and you'll turn to look out a nearby window to see Fukami carrying a corridor in his tentacles to just put that on an existing one... or on a room that hasn't been commandeered by any people. Which he'll then spend time reinforcing because this base is sure as hell going to be the sturdiest thing in the ocean.

OR PERHAPS you'll be there when he's finally finished it, several days after he began it. One of them. With help, perhaps??

LO AND BEHOLD, A NEW ROOM. His new room, specifically. He'll just be making a circle of it.

And maybe dragging two air mattresses into it, for now. He can't have this whole space to himself.] ...I suppose two or three more, [you might catch him murmuring to himself.]

b;

[discardia]

[ Yep, that sure is a new room. And Fukami hauling mattresses, so Cardia will just automatically grab onto one to help. ]

Is this your room?

[octoroom]

[Ah, Cardia. He gives her a grateful glance and lets her help, leading the way into the new room.]

Yes. And Shiro's. [Two mattresses and all.] I am planning to make more in the next several weeks, if you would like one as well.

[discardia]

Ah... you don't like sleeping with everyone?

[ ... Just Shiro? ]

[octoroom]

It's somewhat crowded, for my tastes.

[Unless your names are Dolphi, Memoca, Wadanohara or apparently Shiro (persistence won the day), Fukami's not overly big on sharing a room.]

[discardia]

I see... I think it's kind of nice, to have so many people close.

[octoroom]

Ah.

[Fukami looks at her thoughtfully, as though he's trying to see from her perspective.] I suppose it can be comforting, in its way.

[discardia]

I can also understand if you'd rather not be around so many people.

[ She won't judge! ]

[octoroom]

At home, I slept in the same room with Dolphi and Memoca... but we're all Wadanohara's familiars.

[There's an implicit trust and bond between them.] I am still growing to know those here. [If he knew them all better, he might be more comfortable with it. But it hasn't gotten to that point yet.]

[discardia]

I see... it's a matter of getting to know people well enough to be all right with sleeping near them.

[A Turtle can't always be building a submarine. Don's taken a little break from his work, swimming out near the base so he can get an idea of where exactly the Shell Sub mk. II might eventually be launching from.

It's then that he spots Fukami - though he hears the octopus man first, the 'hm' resounding through his mind. At first Don wonders inanely if this might be a friend of Korosensei's, but it's just as likely that this a completely different kind of person.

He may as well be friendly.]

How's that terraforming gun working out so far? [He should totally take it apart one of these days to see how it works.]

[octoroom]

[Fukami's tentacles curl and he glances over his shoulder at-- that appears to be a turtle man. Not at all disconcerted (he's an animal himself), he nods very briefly in greeting before he surveys the area he's setting to working on.]

It is interesting. [It's all he supplies at first, but fires several blasts, slowly building up the beginnings of an earth wall.] But it works well.

Though it will take a little time until I can make walls with it that I'm comfortable with, strength-wise.

[bonomial]

Is there some kind of weakness with the kind of walls it's making that makes you say that? [From where Don's floating, the sand-and-soil composite doesn't look that weird. He makes to swim closer to it, as if to investigate, assuming the octopus man won't stop him.] I've been curious about the terraforming mission URSULA was talking about, and these guns are really incredible. Still, if there's a problem...

[octoroom]

No.

[It's not that at all. Fukami hefts the gun in his grip, firing off another to build up the wall that he's working on.] Nothing like that. I am just cautious, and I wish to make certain they will hold up.

[bonomial]

Makes sense. [Don still prods the solid-seeming wall in front of him; it feels as dense as the surrounding seafloor, at least...] Without analyzing this better I can't be sure, but it's looking good so far. How long have you been at this?

[octoroom]

Not very long. No more than an hour, at least.

[Fukami pushes himself through the water closer to him, as if to watch what he's doing.]

[bonomial]

So there's not much of a learning curve? [Don's clearly fascinated with the device himself; he keeps glancing over at it as if he'd like to try it out himself.] For such amazing technology, it sure seems easy to use. Point and shoot, right?

[undyingly]

[The gun is his for now. Shiro thinks it looks like a fascinating tool, and he kind of wants to take a look at it. And try it out. And that's probably a little scary idea -- though really, Shiro is a great deal smarter than he lets on at times.

of course, the fact that right now he's chasing after rabbitrays (and maybe hugging one they're adorable he really wants to keep one.

But even in the midst of rolling around in the water with one of the rabbitrays, he peers over at Fukami.] So what's the strategy for this, Fukami?

[octoroom]

[Well, Shiro, play with your rabbitrays and the adults will get some work in... also the gun is his. He's not handing it over, good luck getting it out of his tentacles. He hefts it slightly, in fact, beginning to construct a wall, bit by bit by bit.]

Strong walls, preferably. They'll help against the hurricane.

URSULA mentioned the height at which she thought it would be good to build them up to. I'll be doing their foundation first.

[He pauses to glance down at him.] How are the rabbitrays? [HAVING FUN, HUH, SHIRO except part of Fukami is amused by it.]

[undyingly]

That makes sense. If the foundation is built up, that'll help even before the walls are finished. And it'll have to be able to bear the extra weight.

[Shiro has his arms around one of the rabbitrays when he's asked that, and it wiggles -- less to escape than to burrow in closer -- as he laughs.] I think they're interested in what you're doing too.

[A pause.] This one's name is Friedrich.

[octoroom]

[Fukami pauses mid-shot in order to look down at him again. His tentacles fan out around him, keeping him balanced in the water, but one poises itself as though it's cocking at him in confusion.]

...You're naming them.

[It's less of a question than a dry comment. Shaking his head, Fukami gets back to what he's doing, since he has Shiro's approval and all as well.]

[undyingly]

Of course. I think they like it. Right, Friedrich? [Can the rays actually hear him with the telepathy? Shiro isn't clear on that. He just likes them.] That one over there is Viktoria.

[...not sure if he's guessed their sexes right, but he's going with it. But he lets the rabbitray he'd been wrestling with slip free as he makes his way over towards where Fukami is standing.]

Is there something I can do to help?

[Besides moral support?]

[octoroom]

[A light mental sigh. But it's kind of cute. Fukami's unintentionally distracted by watching him fawn over rabbitrays, shifting the terraforming gun to keep on working, gradually building up the base of the wall that he's working on.]

Not too much. The terraforming gun doesn't work well while things are in the way, though, if you could move that scrap metal down there.

[He nods to indicate it.]

[undyingly]

Mm! I can do that!

[Shiro will make his way over to the scrap metal in question and glances back towards Fukami. Well, umm. Well, it's Fukami. Fukami can know about his abilities; there's no warm in it, and no sense doing this the hard way, right?

So there might be a faintly silvery glow in the water, surrounding Shiro and the scrap metal, that he more or less just touches and has it lifted and pulled along with him. He's gotten better at adjusting the power of the silver aura to account for being under water. Gravity is still gravity, after all.

Long story short, he's going to be making short work of the debris clearing.]

[octoroom]

[Fukami's gaze flickers slightly, curiously, as he watches him, sees that silvery glow. His tentacles push him and he comes down, a little closer, to better watch as he uses his abilities. More secrets, revealed! Except, he doesn't know how much of this was a secret.

Nevertheless.]

This is quite helpful. Thank you, Shiro.
