open: action, undersea farmville

[parodeity]

[ this is a catch-all for anyone who wants to do anything with the undersea farmville mission; for reference the farming area looks like this (though cleaned of coral and etc) and is about three miles south of the base. the protected area is approximately half an acre in size though it isn't a perfect square and has a few narrow side paths from the rock formation.

they're going with the glass dome method of farming so help gather materials for that (they're trying to make One Huge Glass Dome so the picture isn't entirely accurate. JUST IMAGINE IT BIGGER.) and install it, or help plant the seeds that the strilonde siblings rescued from the aurora. or, you know, help clear out some stubborn schools of fish and/or more coral and plants so we have farming area room. or help hurricane prep. whatever you want.

early on in the month there's a telepathic call to arms if you need it, courtesy dave and loki, which amounts to "hey, we're doing a thing and you can help out if you want to get not seafood faster", although with far too many words and meatphors on dave's part and a far less meandering take on loki's part. plz assist them. ]

just means you're a natural!!

That's too kind of you... Oh, and you can call me Loki. What's your name, miss?

[ Being called "mister" by strangers has become strange. One of those signs that it's been far too long in this body... ]

[superseding]

I'm Hotaru. Hotaru Tomoe. And it's true... you're doing a service for everyone, and I think it's great.

[ Even if it means everyone's getting used to living here. ]

[mythbuster]

[ From where he's sitting, Loki's gaze sliiides to the side. He could take credit for being forward-thinking and productive... but he won't. ]

To be honest... Dave is really the one who kickstarted the idea of farming at all. Thinking about it, I'm a little worried about the fate of this crew.

[ There is much context and nuance here and Loki is explaining none of it. ]

[superseding]

[ Hotaru tends to think more positively of other people, so even if she can sense the nuance there and has some concerns of her own, she's going to give the benefit of the doubt. ]

He seems very excited for apples. I don't know if I've seen someone like a fruit so much. [ A smile creeps into her tone. ] And I think we'll be all right. Some of them seem... worry-free, but we've been fine so far, right? People are trying hard.

[mythbuster]

[ What a kind-sounding girl. Perhaps too kind... She makes Dave's relentless obsession with apples seem like an admirable trait. But it's refreshing nonetheless. ]

I guess it's not a terrible thing. People have the luxury of being carefree because it's peaceful. If it stays this way, I don't have much room to compain.

[ His words make her think. She takes a (longer) moment before she responds, her gloominess coming out to play. ]

The... Reaper Leviathan at the beginning of last month was scary. I hope we don't have more encounters like that. I hope... we're not attacked while we're asleep.

[mythbuster]

Hmm. If you feel security in technology, then I think you don't have to worry. The modifications made to the drones around base seem quite formidable.

[ Personally, Loki does not feel security in technology. But he is generally worry-free when it comes to his own safety, so it's all the same. ]

[superseding]

[ Not all of us are gods, and not all of us know we have possible world destroying powers, but of course, all Hotaru knows of Loki right now is his... voice. ]

Oh, I didn't know those were a security system, too.

[ She sounds a little doubtful, but it's not like she has the knowledge to know they've been equipped with bombs. ]

All I know is they sing?

[ Robots singing is a little weird. Cute but weird. ]
