in darkness in light

[Backdated to the morning after Bellflower's dream. Before work hours, this writing appeared, its writer blissfully unaware of her steamy guest appearance the night before.]

Hello, Edensphere!

Following the completion of my project, I am delighted to invite you to the opening of Ptolemy Planetarium. For those unfamiliar with it, a planetarium is a kind of theatre with projection of stars and other celestial bodies to a domed screen. The event will start with 20 minutes of the inaugural first public showing, followed by a modest after-party with refreshments provided. All free of charge.

In summary:
WHAT: Opening party of Ptolemy Planetarium
WHEN: Sunday, 17 April, 18.00 onwards
WHERE: Captain Planet, the blue-white dome next to the Aquarium
WHO: Everyone (but as the dome has a limited capacity of 20 adult human-sized individuals, for planning purpose I would appreciate a confirmation of your attendance latest by Sunday noon)

If you miss the event but are still interested, the planetarium will afterwards be open to public on an appointment basis.

Please come! I look forward to seeing you there.

[OOC: Event-style log will be posted on Sunday, or a little earlier because I live in the future. If you want to tag in there but don't reply to this post, tag anyway, the confirmation will be handwaved.]

It appears the radios have vanished. Not a trace remain.

What do you think is gained from all that, if any?

[If you are around Gene-1's Section 1 apartment this fine Friday morning, you might hear the racket consisting of a woman gasping and a bundle of keys hitting hardwood floor. This writing appears a few minutes afterwards.]

Lockon, Bell, I need you to go to Section 1. This is urgent.

Who is the Scavenger supervisor? Sir/Ma'am, if you're reading this please respond.

If anyone suddenly hears a song about an outlaw named Picasso calling his lover on a cellular phone, please do not be alarmed. It might just mean I am ★Magical in the vicinity.

Lockon-san, can I have a talk with you? Gene-san, [a rather long pause] it may be of purpose if you are present too.

On a different note, are there anyone here with knowledge on making an inflatable dome? Or if none, then on construction using metal frame.

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.

Playgrounds are designed for use by children. Why do adults seem to derive enjoyment from it as well?

The Tokyo wilderness experience have been, for the most part, pleasant and fun, but one of the things I find most interesting is the exhibition in the Future Museum. The 3-D star projection in the museum's theater looked very real, as if I was really in space, gazing into millions of stars, watching how galaxies form. It gave me a sense of great serenity and knowledge unlocked, pouring endlessly like candy from the foam rubber giant lizard we encountered after.

The compact size of the star projector made me think of taking it back to Square Zero, in case anyone else is interested in learning about space, use it for relaxation purposes, or perhaps as decor if we ever wish to organize a function under a starry sky. But it is quite heavy, and I don't know if there are any theater, hall or anywhere it can be put here. Is it even allowed to bring back such a thing?

Speaking of candy, 00 & Nova, I wouldn't be able to finish so much of them by myself, so would you like some? Anyone else who wants candy may also request below. I've got rather plenty.
