V. Important Requests

Who: Katie and anyone
Broadcast: Fleet
Action: The Vanquish if you want
When: 10 Feb

Dear Atrama, Can we please visit a planet with beaches next? I keep meeting people who haven't seen one and that's terrible. It's actually a crime where I come from. Please don't let anyone get arrested. I believe in you. Also if you take requests can I have my cat please. And some chalk and I was meant to have a sword I think I could be wrong. It's a short silver gold magical IT'S A LIGHTSABER A RED ONE Either that or just give me Mihawks.

[GO BIG OR GO HOME]

Please thank you love Dorothy.

[This has been a totally efficient use of your communicator, Katie, gj.]

[Pretty sure it's the oceans that have the sharks kiddo] Mikleo would probably love to see an ocean.

But yeah, gimme a picture so I get the right thing. I'm gonna go shopping today anyhow, I can grab it while I'm out.

[Oh she meant she'd draw him a picture as a thank you! But that's too difficult to explain and she just shakes her head.]

It doesn't matter even if you get the wrong thing, as long as I can draw with it.

Can I ask what you'll be drawing on? I didn't see a lot of surfaces on the ships that'll take to chalk. Do you have a blackboard in your room?

[Oh. She hadn't even thought of that. Katie wrinkles her nose in thought.]

Chalk won't work on the ship? That's a shame. Can you think of what might?

[...yeah, she might have been going to vandalise the ship. Shh.]

It might work on some surfaces in the ship, but the especially shiny ones won't take to it. It can't hurt to test and see where it'll show up though, since it washes off. [do not vandalize your ship, child]

Want anything else while I'm out? I think that stand where we got those fish-kebabs are having a special today, two for one.

[...Sorey you are too good to her.] Fish-kebabs!

-- I mean yes. Yes please! You could bring them over and I could show you my blanket fort!

[To be fair it's a pretty huge blanket fort.]

Oh man, I love blanket forts! I used to make 'em all the time in my house with Mikleo, especially when it was raining and I couldn't go outside.

You're not allowed to go outside in the rain? That's not very fun. Oh, but I suppose blanket forts are worth it sometimes. I find they're very good for therapy!

[...or at least, if the Atroma are going to give her a counselling augment, she's going to turn her therapy room into a maze of blankets and pillows.]

Oh, cool! Can I have a therapy session in a blanket fort? I've never done that before, it might be neat.

Everything's much better in a blanket fort. If your therapy involves ice cream, that's even better! I find blankets and ice cream work much better than a person in a suit telling you all sorts of things that probably aren't true.

Is that how it usually goes? Someone in a suit telling you things that are untrue? We have priests you can confess to back home, but I've never heard of an actual profession centered around this sort of thing.

Oh, yes. In our world we have lots of people to tell you if you're thinking things wrong and how to go about changing it. It's all very rude. They should get another job.

[Katie is not a fan of therapists.]

[kid sounds like she's had some bad times with these therapist people.] Well, how about I grab that chalk and those fishkebabs and maybe some ice cream, and then I'll come over and we can make a blanket fort and you can show me how it's supposed to be done properly. Does that work for you?

[They literally give her headaches Sorey, it sucks :c But this idea sounds golden, and she smiles wide.] Even if it didn't, I'd make it work! I could ask Eugene if he'd make us some potato patties to go with our fish kebabs! It would be sort of like home!

[poor kiddo] Neat! I definitely wanna try that.

Get those blankets ready for me, Dorothy!

Okay!

[--oh. Uh. Here's an interesting point.] Do you know which ship I'm on? Do you know the Vanquish? It's my favourite ship so that's where I'll be.
