Feel free to ignore this until after the festivities, but since November starts tomorrow, I thought I'd ask what everyone is interested in including in the island base. Or what structures you would be interested in seeing around the island. So far all that we have planned to my knowledge are the watchtowers - the farm seems to be coming along and we should maybe consider fences or whatever there, but otherwise we don't actually have anything really set in stone.

You should feel free to throw anything out there, and to respond to anyone else. I'll just gradually be collecting the ideas from here and drawing up plans for you all, so long as what you're suggesting is actually within our power to do. But all things considered, I think most things are. This should also give everyone a chance to team up with anyone else who is doing something they wanted to do.

In terms of things I'm doing other than the watchtowers, an aboveground track and training area is something I was personally interested in. To start us off.

Happy Halloween. Try not to break anything too critical.

[ what is wrong with the hotsprings they have already, she...doesn't ask. SHE AGREED TO TAKE ALL REQUESTS, and this request is kinda cute. ]

Would you think that would be better near the mountain area or one of the lakes? Making the springs shouldn't be an issue, so location can be flexible. It'd give people a place to stay if they're out and about on the island.

We do seem to have a lot of cats. A house with lots of cat...maze things and ledges should work?

[onethousen]

[ it's under the sea is what's WRONG WITH IT ]

Um, yes? Lots of cat trees. Cat toys? Lots of fresh water too? I really don't know. Windows! I think cats like windows. Do we even need windows. How bad are the storms on the surface here going to be?

I'm not sure. I want to say the mountains? Are any of the lakes also near the mountain area? You could have really nice views if you were higher, I think. It'd be nice to have somewhere to stay, or even relax.

[wises]

Don't worry about the storms regarding windows. I'll use the same reinforcement and shuttering we're using down here now. So we can have as many as you'd like. Everything we're building will be able to take storms, because I'll make sure of it.

There are some lakes near the mountains, yes. I'll mark off an area for it. Since it's something you wanted, we can get together and talk about what else you'd like for it and I'll help you draw up plans, if you want.

[ by which she means she will do all the plans architecture wise but will just do. whatever chihiro mentions.

chihiro is cute so. ]

[onethousen]

You plan these things out so well. It's very admirable, Annabeth-san!

[ bless annabeth, because chihiro has no working architectural knowledge, and even her knowledge of onsens are mostly informed by one experience plus the media's instruction on What To Expect. paired with the indoor springs down where she is now, she can make some guesses, but this all makes her excited. she's under no illusions who's handling the difficult parts of planning. they're outside of chihiro's sphere of knowledge and reference, so it's welcome to be included at all.

it makes her smile, tucking herself up around her device and feeling warm at heart. ]

I can research what's in URSULA's archives first, so I'm bringing the best ideas to the table. There are some beautiful onsens in my country. Um... and I mean, I really like the Greek influences, but... maybe we could try something more Japanese? With that?

[ all that warmth and now she feels so awkward in basically asking for more familiar things to her own expectations around. kind of exaggeratedly familiar, but that might be the point. ]

[wises]

Sure. I'm familiar with some of the styles, but I'll see if URSULA has anything extra for me to look at, too. Would you like a few Japanese-style rooms in the overland base, too?

[ i mean. she's fine with every god getting their own cabin. this is kind of like that. ]

[onethousen]

[ wait for the japanese pantheon to move in, it'll be a riot? still, the ease of that reply puts chihiro at ease. easily. with much easiness at heart now. wow!! ]

If that's not too much trouble. Mostly I miss the more modern stuff... I can show you what I mean if I find the right pictures.

[wises]

It's not a problem. URSULA seems to have a lot of books in her repertoire, so asking for some stuff on Japanese architecture shouldn't put her out. I'll admit I have a weakness for Greek and Roman things, but I do like all architecture. It'd be fun to work with something else once in a while.

[ she's going to hug annabeth next time she sees her, which in theory should be... at the holiday festivities she's... also accidentally moonlighting in BUT DETAILS ]

Hey, where are you right now?

[wises]

The cafeteria. I finished making my bucket thing.

[onethousen]

Please stay there for a little longer! I'm coming over! (I can give you some of my kind of candy!)

[ meanwhile the truth is chihiro comes running along in her normal clothes (child change into your costume you're failing halloween), her own decorated bucket in hand with the collection of sugar-star candies inside. there are two rabites riding on her collar, tucked in close and holding on with their tiny paws. she looks for annabeth with bright eyes, breaking into a smile when she sees her. ]

Annabeth-san!
