07 ☆ Returning Returner

[lingeringlegacy]

The Tree has seen fit to greet my return from the elevator with a flashy getup I cannot change out of and alterations to my personal effects. I suppose it confirms that one thing has not changed since I last wrote.

Youth, 00, Smoke, Mindelan, Gene, Huo & Hawk - My gratitude for your concerns. I am safe and sound. It was difficult to tell apart day and night back there, but from the cycle of eating and getting hungry, I estimate 1-2 days have passed. Yet, the number of journal pages filled suggests a longer period. How long have I been away? I mis would enjoy meeting you over a cup of tea or coffee. Or pie or pasta. Or anything, really. Foodless is fine too.

Dr Valeth and [Housekeeping NPC supervisor] - My apologies for the absence. I shall report for duty on Monday if it is acceptable to you. By acceptable I also refer to the long fringe trims on my jacket. They look awfully easy to get caught in things.

How did post-hurricane cleanup go for everyone? My house got through just fine, but the humidity seemed quite severe, judging from the state of my components rack. (Unlikely but) does anyone have a proper chamber oven for baking PCBAs? Otherwise I'll have to use a toaster oven but... not sure if the heat distribution's even enough.

[ooc: Mun feels like going local. For the Rockstar event, Stellaris is dressed as Anggun from her 90s 'lady rocker' days [1][2], meaning: red beret & garish fringe jacket, with black top, denim shorts and suede boots. Accessories include xbox hueg digital watch, at least 3 necklaces and enough bangles to compete with an Indian bride.]

Oh, that's a good idea! I don't know any craft people, but maybe I can approach one in the Bazaar.

Hmm. Do they have computers for gamers? I've been wanting a handheld, but I missed the opportunity to find one in Tokyo. [Never mind everything she saw looked incredibly outdated, like something from centuries ago.]

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

Oh. I ah..I don't know. I didn't go down, I just heard the report. It's very crowded and I ah...don't do crowds.

[at all. he's agoraphobic]

You could ask Bell, he went down recently.

I'm ah...glad to see you're ok. It was a long time.

[lingeringlegacy]

Gene suggested a convection oven, too. I'll try that before finding a kiln.

I don't really like crowds either, the air around gets stuffy and hot.

Thank you for your concern. Strangely, it didn't feel very long for me. Which is definitely a good thing because I don't think my food and water supply would last three weeks.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Hmmm that might work too. Oh and if you need help with anything let me know? I mean--I can help. I remember a lot about computers.

Yeah and people get pushy and there's no where to go...it's just bad.

Well it's the fourth floor right? It's like a parallel dimension in there. People go in and they're not sync'd in time with us anymore.

At least that's my theory.

said the girl from magic sparkle robot anime

[lingeringlegacy]

Ahh, that's right. You are the lab technician, aren't you? The first time I learned Edensphere had any computers was at the Clinic.

Yes, fourth floor. Parallel dimension? I'm not sure, because the timeline have to be nonlinear if we account for other people's experiences, whereas that interpretation sounds like something beyond quantum physics and out of television shows.

Vir Hey, maybe I should see you at work sometimes, to talk about [pause] computers. And pardon me, you seem to be from Earth but do you remember what year you hailed from?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

That's me. A few of us took computers from the wilderness, when it was the Mall of America. But there's not a lot of them here, no.

Ahh hello? Unicorns. Cat ears. Dragons. We are a television show! Or a really really badly written scifi movie.

I don't really get a lot of visitors to the lab. It would be nice.

The year? You know, this isn't the safest thing to talk about. Here. Maybe we should talk later?

[lingeringlegacy]

Ahaha, that's true. Clearly written by a layman of science~

A Scavenger's Yard sort of topic?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

More like written by a 12 year old. Unicorns. Really.

As long as it's off the journals. I--was affected by something I said recently. I think it's watching me.

[lingeringlegacy]

What are unicorns?

Understood.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Oh. You weren't here for that? Unicorns are horses with one long horn in the center of their foreheads. They're mythological creatures in my world. But they were here a while ago.

[He is totally skipping the part about virgins being the only ones who can touch them shhh]

Of course we could always take a walk to the S-yard for our lunch break. It wouldn't hurt.

[lingeringlegacy]

[She was born during cat ears but no one told her what they're about. And she didn't have them anyway.]

No, I wasn't. My instinct is to say horses like that don't exist, but I can't say that knowing about griffins and dragons. So they are here but not anymore?

Shall we go on Monday, then?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

They were only here for a bit, then they disappeared. Like most of the sphere's antics.

Sounds good.

[lingeringlegacy]

[Or a reverse with goats.]

For some antics, I am glad they are temporary.
