Who: Anyone
When: Day 103, Late afternoon
Where: HQ!
What: Power =D!! Also minglish.


[So it has been... a few days mostly without power. Oh, it probably kicked on for an hour or two here or there before flickering out again. Because that is what happens when you try to figure out alien technology via an IKEA style instruction booklet and the electricity god is not even showing up to help.

But today!! Now!! The power goes on. And it will still be on an hour from now, even. And probably even a day!

More importantly, the generator is now working and ready to have all manner of flammables shoved in it, bring them down to the north east corner of Level 2-1 if you have any. Or just be happy to have power again, wherever you are.]

AT GENERATOR

Shit. I think we finally got it.

I would say bro fists all around but let's not jinx it just yet.

Level 1

[imanapexpredator]

[Well, that's good. Because Andrew is down in Level 1 cleaning for a god quest and that's kind of hard to do with...no light.

So if anyone is down here they will see lots of debris and crap floating out into small piles in the hallway. Or if you peek inside a room you will see rags and stuff swiping along the walls with Andrew standing by the door with one hand in his pocket, the other making a motion as if he were holding said rags in his hand.

Man this is totally a lot harder than it looks, ok.]

[Melisan is working on something -- it looks like a box made of netting with a sort of funnel at one end]

Fish Traps: I make them, you place them, we split the catch.
Lessons provided for trade goods

[rottenwoman]

[ Hello androgynous friend it's your favorite serial killer! Syo skips over and tilts her head at the science. ] Fish traps? What do you do with those?

[moonineclipse]

You bait them and tie them to a tree root or something, and then lower them into the swamp we have at the forest floor. Fish -- or shellfish, or frogs -- swim in to eat, and can't figure out where the exit is. The netting is so that the water can drain when you lift them out.

Hunting is getting pretty poor with both us and the dragons, so I dusted off something Dathusropi taught me. The trick is in finding a place where the big fish and crocogons won't break the traps. And in making rope that fish can't nibble through.

[rottenwoman]

Boooring. Who would ever want to do that?

[moonineclipse]

People who like to eat regularly.

Apartment N

[thankyouverymooch]

[ looking up as soon as he sees the lights are back-- a little surprised. ]

Ah, well. Guess they fixed it.

[forherprince]

[GAH MY EYES--]

So it would seem...

[Squint-blink-squint]

[thankyouverymooch]

Mmm... I wonder what caused it. Oh, well. Who cares so long as it's back.

[forherprince]

The building's power was shorted out while a group of people were hooking up a generator on level [insert correct level here for I am lazy]...

[:3 /does her job WHOO! or maybe she just kind of... tripped over one of the people who did it. Literally...]

[thankyouverymooch]

[ ooooh he's impressed. And smiling at her ]

You're paying way more attention to things around here than I am. Good job! Do you know why they did that?

[forherprince]

[Oh hey... the lights are on just in time to catch the bit of color, even if the rest of her face stays completely straight. She's missed those smiles...]

Not specifically. The generator was provided by Eizon, for what, I am unsure. The power going out was simply an error.

[:| you want the sciencey explanation you're going to have to go ask Ed or something though.]

[rottenwoman]

[ And then there was light. Syo rubs her eyes at the sudden brightness and curses under her breath. They could at least have warned her, jeez!! But now that the light is on she's going to do a little exploring. If anyone happens to be walking down the halls, they'll probably run into her. ]

[Apt E]

[Making up for the chores he didn't do yesterday from having to rest]

Re: [Apt E]

[over_the_fop]

[It's closer to evening, really, when there's a light knocking on your door... at a bit of a nursery rhyme cadence.]

Re: [Apt E]

[boundbydevotion]

[Getting door! Without even asking who it is first.]

Yes--? Ptou. Good evening.

Re: [Apt E]

[over_the_fop]

[He is... pale, a little worn around the edges, and without the constant movement about him.]

...


[He holds up a finger to start....]




[He drops it ... and then holds it up again....]




I do say, Mr. Howard Link, how DO you prefer to start off extremely awkward conversations? Just, off handed, preference wise.

Re: [Apt E]

[boundbydevotion]

Being honest about it will do. Would you like to come in? You look as if you could use a seat.

[Stepping aside to let him in]

Re: [Apt E]

[over_the_fop]

Yes, actually, I would really love that.

[Steps in and, YES, certainly does b-line for a chair.]

[Apt A]

[fill_the_blanks]

[Oh hey, power's back on. Plugging in his laptop.]

I was using the other room as storage so you're probably gonna have to take the living room until we clear it out.

Re: [Apt A]

[kurageous]

I won't take up much space.

Re: [Apt A]

[fill_the_blanks]

I do remember having you as a guest, yeah.

Re: [Apt A]

[kurageous]

And I remember your old collecting habit.

[kinda]

Re: [Apt A]

[fill_the_blanks]

I'm just gonna say this straight out since you seem to be confused about it, but we're still friends.
