[OPEN MINGLE: SEPT 8-16]

[So what are you up to as we pass out of the first hectic week of September and into the second? Calm strolls with alien elephants or fast swims with alien sealife? Flashing your sunglasses at crime scenes? Dreaming and building dreams? Waking and building...buildings? There's always a lot to do here, whether it's formal missions or just shenanigans with friends.

Zenning out is fine too!]

It's an interesting place. Things look different there than when we're awake, of course, but it makes sense when you're dreaming.

[ Which of course it does, but that's a terrible explanation of no help whatsoever. She's not sure which guy he's talking about, but that's because she knows of at least three guys who tinker with machines. #multitudes ]

Hm... Is there a way of sketching on the database, or do we have paper for that stuff on base?

[ At least we don't have to worry about SkyNet here. ...well, probably we don't. ]

Ah -- about that --

[ Because Nagisa's learned to never go anywhere without his trusty notebook, even when he thinks he's going on some top-secret field trip slash mission. He digs it out, along with a pen, and holds these out. ]

There should still be about half of it left.
onethousen: (huh | water god ahoy)

[ Is this when we learn Ishmael the robot has a friend called SkyNet... his offer has her perking up, reaching out to accept the pen and marveling at how he managed all that and the sea star — making it look relatively easy! (At times she's easily impressed.) ]

Really? Are you sure?

[ She has to check, regardless of having accepted the notebook. ]
classwarfare: (what will I write today?)

[personal profile] classwarfare 2016-09-27 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ SkyNet, the great white whale to the robot Ishmael, ]

It's fine, really. I'll figure something out if I need more pages after you're done.

[ If she flips through it while looking for the blanks, she's going to see a very strange < A HREF="http://classwarfare.dreamwidth.org/831.html">list, with probably a lot more than what's on that link. ]
onethousen: (curious | what am i looking at)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-09-27 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Leaving us with the immortal question of... But Who Is Ahab? ]

Mm, thank you! I'll make sure to use only what's necessary.

[ What an odd list of words and phrases to come across... her eyes skim over part of it as she looks for the first blank page to carefully pull out. Maybe he's involved in a long term research project about...

... nope, she's got no idea. Carefully pulling out a page, she picks up the pencil and closes the notebook to use the harder back to start sketching. It's rough, and she's no expert when it comes to artistry, but she's fairly accurate in getting the basic idea down on paper.
]

What do you think of something like this?

[ Turning to show him what she's sketched out. ]

[ He leans to take a look. It's not like he's any real judge of architecture or layouts himself, but as long as the roughly similar shapes are there, it's at least something he can figure out by looking at it. Hm. ]

Here-- may I?

[ He takes the pen back to make a few adjustments. Maybe curve the garden a bit more here, maybe leave a little extra room for any more sea stars there, and that's about it. ]

I think it's a good start. We can probably adjust if we need to as we go.

[ She observes as he makes his suggested changes, nodding as he goes. It all looks reasonable to her, and better thought through than her initial rough sketch. ]

That's what I've been needing to do outside. You're right, it'll work out for us. Maybe we can put the first sea star over here?

[ She reaches out and taps on the page; one of the locations that requires the least amount of moving things around on their parts. ]
classwarfare: (two perfectly nice ordinary boys)

[personal profile] classwarfare 2016-10-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That works! Want to now?

[ He's a lot more cheerful with a plan, that's for sure. And he's all for less juggling around of the sea star's long dangling arms; if nothing else, it seems like a good idea to do less work for the first one and look it over, rather than do a lot of pointless extra busywork. ]
onethousen: (smile | nice and genuine)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-10-02 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm!

[ A quick nod of her head, setting off like that's all one needed to do in order to prep this poor sea star for its new home and chill-space. Which by now may not be inaccurate. ]

Thank you for helping with all of this.
classwarfare: (trust me with your everything)

[personal profile] classwarfare 2016-10-02 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to!

[ He kind of blurts it, then looks sheepish as he follows her. ]

I feel like I've been kind of just kicking my feet since I got here. It's nice to be able do something.
onethousen: (ask | hmm?)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-10-02 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm! I thought I was alone feeling that way. It's nice to know I'm not.

[ Though with a look back up at him, she offers: ]

Um, the work here is probably going to take more than just days. Weeks, even. Is that... If it's anything you're interested in, it'd be nice to have the help, sometimes.
classwarfare: (peek!)

[personal profile] classwarfare 2016-10-03 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ He brightens a little, as much as he's trying to stay polite. ]

--I'd be interested! I mean. I'd definitely feel bad if I just helped this once and never again, and it really would be nice to have something to do...

[ Something that's not just kind of idly planning assassination plans in an unfamiliar space. ]
onethousen: (happy | thank you so much!)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-10-03 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ She relaxes, her pleasure spontaneous and without guise or attempt to hold back. ]

Great! That's such a relief...

[ She flashes him a big smile. ]

I was worried I'd be trying to do most of this on my own. I'd do my best, but it goes a lot faster with friends helping too. Then we can both help design how things look. Which is even nicer.

[ That idea that they're building and working as a community, even if this group is presently numbered at two. Chihiro is looking for places and ways to fit in and belong. To her, this is a little piece of that greater sense of belonging. ]

Any suggestions you have are ones I'd really like hearing as we go!

[ What a good kid... Nagisa smiles back at her enthusiasm. To be honest, it feels good for him, too -- he's been more aimless than anything else, trying to figure out how to contribute when the whole base seems to know what they're doing. Even if it's just trying to spruce things up to look nicer, or building a small side project, it's nice to get involved. ]

It'd be nice to have something like -- I guess we can't actually make coral, but maybe a space for other fish, too? We could build them a base next to our base.
onethousen: (consider | will it blend)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-10-06 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
... We could grow coral, though! It's living, and it's an animal, isn't it? If we introduce it to a new place to be, that might work. Like planting ivy...

... Does planting ivy work like that? I think the fish space is a good idea, too. Even around the base, we can make it more fish friendly for visitors? Or the stalkers...
classwarfare: (an ordinary boy with an ordinary life)

[personal profile] classwarfare 2016-10-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
...stalkers?

[ Do we have fish stalkers?? That's news to him. And maybe a little bit concerning, in all honesty. ]

--I mean, I'd be all for making it friendlier for visitors, but we'd probably need to ask someone about the growing coral part--

[ He's saying that, but he's clearly a little distracted by the idea of stalkers. What if they're not fish? What if they're something with more tentacles? ]
onethousen: (curious | woah what is down there)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-10-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, both to stalkers and to needing to ask someone about growing coral. There was Jotaro (UNTIL HE DISAPPEARED DUN DUN DUN) or maybe URSULA? ]

Have you met any of the stalkers yet?
