August Pre-Hurricane Post | Open Mingle

[It's the calm before the storm—or at least the not-quite-so-bad-weather before the storm. The winds are starting to pick up, the ocean is rolling, and all manner of sea creature is heading for cover to ride things out.

But at the base, there's still lots to do as usual. Whether it's getting ready to hunker down, goofing off, or making friends, there's never a dull moment under the sea! Have at it, and remember to check out the OOC planning/mission signups to see what's going on!]

Really? I wonder why they said it was dangerous.

[Flying doesn't do much in the ocean, but zapping lasers would be pretty cool]

[sniptuck]

Who knows?

[ she knows. ]

It'll be really neat if that happened, gatcha.

[imsorey]

It would be.

[note to self ask URSULA and Korosensei why they didn't want anyone getting zapping lasers.]

It's all sealed off now, but maybe we can look into it later.

[sniptuck]

Good idea!

[ author's note: it is not a good idea. ]

I'm Hajime, by the way.

[imsorey]

[he remembers radiation poisoning at least so they'd have to be like 200% sure they get superpowers before doing a dumb thing]

Nice to formally meet you! I'm Sorey. You're sort of new, right?

[sniptuck]

[ i can't believe they're gonna have to ask URSULA about radiation poisoning giving superpowers. ]

Mmhm! I arrived pretty late last month? My life pod exploded!

[ well, caught on fire. it probably exploded after she got out of it though? ]

[imsorey]

--They can explode?!

[WHY]

[sniptuck]

Yeah, I almost died!

[ she sounds too chipper about it but. the past is the past. ]

[imsorey]

[He's so concerned about you Hajime]

That's not something to sound excited about! If something like that happens again, you call for help, okay?

[sniptuck]

Okay, okay.

[ her tone is, again, not one that indicates she is that concerned about the next time she will almost die. that is a problem to deal with later. ]

[imsorey]

You're pretty carefree, huh.

[sniptuck]

You think so?

[ she considers it. ] Not really.

[imsorey]

That's just how it seems to me. Sorry if I misjudged it.

[Genuinely apologetic if he took things out of context. Maybe she's a very serious person and just doesn't come off that way!!! He's willing to believe that first impressions aren't everything.]

[sniptuck]

You don't have to apologize! I'm very happy, I think, but I wouldn't call myself carefree!

[ SHE HAS A LOT OF CARES, SOREY. so many. ]

[imsorey]

[There are so many cares, just none about radiation poisoning or explosions.]

How about care-full?

[sniptuck]

[ neither radiation poisoning nor explosions matter much. ]

Care-full!

[ it's a miracle she gets what he means. ]

[imsorey]

[They're on the same wavelength now, it'll be Fine]

Which cares are you full of?

[sniptuck]

I care about people! Oh, and plants.

[ she actually seems to be thinking very hard on this incredibly important question. ]

Notebooks.

[imsorey]

How about stationary? Or does that count as part of a notebook?

[sniptuck]

That's also good!

[ she suddenly frowns a little. ]

I miss being able to buy some.

[imsorey]

Oh, yeah, we're a little limited on the stationary here, huh.

[sniptuck]

I brought a lot from home, but if I used too much of it I'm going to run out...

[ she sounds more upset about this than she did about being in a burning life pod. ]

[imsorey]

[#priorities]

This planet isn't really made for having paper I guess...

[what with the water and everything]

Maybe someone knows a way to make more?

[sniptuck]

Maybe URSULA has a video on it?

[ since she has a lot of instructional videos on a bunch of nonsense things that don't really matter. ]

I think trees are involved though?

[imsorey]

They are, you make paper from trees. But we don't want to chop down all of the trees on the planet for paper.

[Even he knows that's bad.]

We could maybe substitute kelp, somehow. If URSULA does have a video on how to make paper we should be able to find a suitable substitute.
