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.

You're not the Gods I'm talking about, so I'll give it a pass. You can do one if you want; I'm not traumatized, it was just annoying and I've never seen the point of them.

[ SHE MIGHT IF PERCY TOOK HER - no honestly she would still not see the point. it's dumb spend time with her in less dumb ways? ]

A boardwalk sort of demands ice cream, though. Ice cream shoppe. If you have to.

[ is that..........a request? who knows. ]

Are the cats not neutered?

[splinten]

Thanks for the absolution. I guess we'll see what people want when I ask for suggestions. [Because of course he's going to, of course this will be stupid.]
Milkquest becomes more urgent than ever before. Now both pizza and boardwalk ice cream hang in the balance. [HE IS TAKING IT AS A REQUEST annabeth now gets an ice cream shop thing.]

Not as far as I'm aware. Sadly, veterinary science is one of those domains where my Renaissance Man persona falters to reveal the slipshod post-apocalyptic autodidacticism below. But I can program the nanites to neuter them if you can get me the necessary information about feline reproductive organs and neutering procedures. Roxy or Valentine might be able to handle that.
Jotaro did it for the Rabites, but he's one of our MIA.

[ WHY ARE THESE IDIOTS NOT PARTYING, THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WONDER AS THEY CONTINUE TO TALK SHOP ]

I can actually get you that information, yes. Just give me a day to catch a cat and scan it. I don't mind having cats around, but we should maybe stop them from outnumbering us.

In which case we need to act fast because I think they're already sort of near that point.

[splinten]

[SOMEONE SHOVE THESE KIDS ON THE DANCE FLOOR they could be standing together pretending to be doing Halloween things while secretly texting plans. The monsters.]

We're still in good condition. It isn't 200 cats per human.
I'll program the nanites before I get back to the sub tomorrow.

[wises]

[ end of thread they're forced to do a dance together as payment for their sins, probably ]

This makes me think you've been in a 200 cats per human situation. I have to ask.

All right, thank you. It occurs to me we should probably either check them manually or get one of your robots to do it, re: their health. We're feeding them and everything, but none of us are exactly veterinarians. Don't they need shots and things?

[splinten]

[Justice.]

Uh. Possibly?
To answer both questions at once, my friend Roxy had at least as many cats back home. I had my robots and seagulls.

[wises]

[ she will not even comment on the creamsicle text. ]

Seagulls? Did you raise them to carry messages or something?

[splinten]

[WHOOPS THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT oh well Annabeth has reached this level of friendship now or something]

No. They just liked my apartment. Probably because it was the closest thing to solid land for miles.

[wises]

[ thanks to dirk the creamsicle text is in ancient greek for her so she can forgive it being orange? ]

That sounds like a story so I won't ask further. Speaking of animal raising, it seems like someone's raising birdogs for eggs now. We should really find something we can milk.

[splinten]

You'll have to consult the cheesequest crew on that one. There are options if we commit to any of them.

[onethousen]

Oh thank goodness.

[ one should not read other conversations but SERIOUSLY BLESS YOU DIRK AND ANNABETH ]

[splinten]

Sorry I didn't get to that earlier.

[onethousen]

It's not as important as the stuff you've been working on. I mean, it's not a problem yet? Plus you did all that stuff with the rabites, which was really helpful!

[splinten]

Not to fall too much into triaging relativism, what's important is what's bothering people on the base. I don't mind having things jump the line if it's bothering you.

[onethousen]

Thank you. It's still kind of you to be so considerate, when really, this is probably selfish of me to ask.

Though I don't know what you mean by triaging?

[splinten]

It's a way of assessing a situation where a number of people are injured. Triaging determines the order in which you save people based on the urgency of their injuries.

[onethousen]

I think I get it. You get to make a judgment of what needs to be handled first, based on the most difficult and dangerous injuries being handled first. So here... it's the more dangerous situations? For people's well being?

[splinten]

That would be exactly it.
In our cases, we tend to make our decisions based less on danger than on someone really wanting a water slide.

[onethousen]

We're ... kind of silly sometimes, huh?

[splinten]

Sometimes.
