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!]

It is weird to wake up underwater. The biggest difference from my home is how quiet it is.

[Even living at the Lair he built from the abandoned drainage junction, there was more noise than the omnipresent silence of an alien ocean.]

Making it a little brighter in here's a good move. It's cheery. [And unobtrusive, and totally Japanese.]

If you want, you can help me decorate more later! Things are a lot more fun when there's more people doing it.

[ she finishes folding another crane and sets it aside. ] If you're free.

I don't think I have anything pressing I need to do. [He smiles.] What kind of decorations are we talking? Just as many paper cranes as you can make?

[May as well start making another one then, this one in a bright, vibrant red.]

[sniptuck]

If you have any ideas, we can do them! The sky's the limit!

[ hajime looks up. ]

Or the ceiling.

[bonomial]

[Touché.]

I'd probably ask around. My own sense of proper décor might not fit what anyone else'd want. [He lived in a sewer, which tends to involve getting used to a lot of things most people don't care for in their dwellings.] Countering the feeling of claustrophobia's a good start, though.

[ tbf it's not like hajime is asking people how they want the placed decorated. she's just... doing it... ]

I think it'll still be nice if you put in some of your own ideas though. Everyone has a different point of view.

[bonomial]

[What would be Don's point of view?]

Well, I am missing some of the textures from home. Wood and stone just aren't common building materials here. [He quickly adds:] Not that it'd make much sense to build with wood. That would get ruined by seawater.

Still, I kinda miss it.

[sniptuck]

Maybe we can make wooden tables and cabinets? Those are easy to replace if they get damaged. And it'll be a nice way to spice things up!

[ you can only have so much metal in your life. ]

[bonomial]

You're a woodworker? [He probably shouldn't be surprised, but maybe he is.] I don't know much about it myself - I'm more used to working with metal myself. Wonder if the wood from the local trees is any good to work with?
