Who: Kirito + whoever
Broadcast: Video OTA
Action: Paisley, Iskaulit
When: Todayish


[Alright, so technically he was warned that this might not be entirely wise, but whatever, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And the warning came from someone who hails from a world with evil inventor supervillains, and this place is totally different. It's fine. This will be just fine.

The comm clicks on to reveal a corner of the Paisley's engineering room, where a couple of boxes of spare parts and tools have been stacked and labeled nearby. Kirito plops himself on the floor in front of it, offering an awkward wave.]

Hey, this is a general shout-out to the engineers of the fleet- not just the ones with engineering augments, but specifically people who like to experiment with tech, invent stuff, that sort of thing. Don't know about you, but I've been working mostly on my ship, and it's getting a little crowded, so I'm putting together a more official lab on the Iskaulit. It'll really barebones, but that's the point of this.

Anyone interested in contributing? We could get some tables and set up a decent workshop for more people. It might be cool to have a general area where some of us can work together, swap ideas, maybe get some experience with fields other than whatever we specialize in. I know I've got a lot to learn, and I'd like to see more of what's out there.

While I'm at it, does anyone have experience with building furniture? Or even making cushions? We're gonna need a lot for another project I'm working on.


{Private message to Nami:}

Got a present for you.

Wow, great. Now I'm never going to see my boyfriend again. [Good way to meet someone first time, or best way to meet someone for the first time?

But also, she might be kind of interested too.]

[huaaaaagh]

I can take the lock off the door. Feel free to swing by and drag him home any time you feel the need.

[He knows this is a legit problem. Asuna's had to drag him plenty of times away from a project.]

Video

[passingthrough]

That's okay. Locks and doors aren't really a problem for me anyway. [Understatement.] I guess I'll always know where to find him. [Unless he's working on a secret project.] Are you thinking individual stations for people within the room or more joint projects or spaces?

[ unwise? but why? what could possibly go wrong here! ]

I'm in! [ instantly and excitedly! kitty sure knows her boyfriend. ] And what's the other project? I can totally help with the cushions

video | private;

[huaaaaagh]

It's a bit of a secret.

[Okay, not really, but he likes the thought of a surprise.]

I may or may not have been commissioned to set up a theater somewhere. We'll need seats.

[winn]

That's why I encrypted!

[ smug smile~ he figured from the way he brought it up. ]

Oh cool! Yeah, I can help with that! I've never built seats, but eh, how hard can it be, right?

[video]

[neversets]

Hey!

I'm not an engineer. Of any sort. But I'm incredibly strong and great for rearranging things, carrying heavy machinery or welding things together. Is any of that any help?

[video]

[huaaaaagh]

Ah- that'd be really helpful, yeah. We'll need to arrange some pretty sturdy tables to support different project weights, so they'll be heavy for sure.

[he's got the strength augment enhancement now, but he's still a bit of a noodle. he's only going to be able to do so much.]

[neversets]

I can definitely help out with that. You're not going to be able to find a piece of equipment I can't lift, so I can head over and help out when you need.

If you need me now, I can come. I just finished a batch of cupcakes. You like cupcakes?

[namisan]

Is it money?

[I'm kidding!

Mostly.]

[huaaaaagh]

[you wish.]

Hey, you should be paying me for services rendered. This took forever.

[namisan]

[Let's just skip right over the concept of her paying someone else--]

The comm! How did you go?

[sonofgold]

I can put furniture together with my alchemy.

video

[huaaaaagh]

Alchemy?

[what, like. oldschool chemistry?? how does that even work.]

video

[sonofgold]

Yeah. Alchemy as I know it is all about deconstructing and reassembling matter into new forms. So if you were to, say, give me a bolt of cloth and some stuffing, I could shape it into a pillow.

If this is happen'n- and I'm all for it- can I put in a request for some of the area t'be a little oversized? Find'n work space that's big 'nuf for me is a pain. Hav'n somewhere t'fiddle again where I didn't get a crick in my neck from hunch'n over or spend the whole time worried I'd break somth'n would be great.

Video

[huaaaaagh]

[????? TALKING GOLEM MAN??? omg. that's amazing.]

How, uh. How oversized are we talking about? It's kind of hard to gauge on these little screens.

[Golems are usually pretty big, though.]

[stefanged]

If you still need furniture, I could build a couple of tables.

[Plus, it's the least Stefan could do, given all that Kirito did for the Interfaith Center.] Or just, you know, whatever else needs to be done.

video;

[huaaaaagh]

I have a feeling we'll need plenty of tables, though there's also plenty of volunteers...

The hard part will be getting the material, at this rate. Hopefully we can get some at the next stop.

video;

[stefanged]

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Once you get some, though, you might be able to ask Alex to transfigure the rest.

I'm not sure how it'll go, but if it's anything like the studio, it should be good. [Stefan is so shamelessly proud of her sometimes.]

video

[delincuente]

Dude, are you building us a couch? Because we could totally use a couch.

video

[huaaaaagh]

No, it's for- ...wait, if we need one, why don't we just relocate one of the office couches?

[We've got two people in personnel, and he's pretty sure Loki doesn't actually do therapy in his office.]

[delincuente]

Do you want to steal a couch from the god of mischief?

[She raises her eyebrow at him.]

ACTION

[sandhate]

[ There's a bang - probably a kick - on Kirito's door a few hours after his video showed up. Anakin is on the other side with his arms holding rolled up blueprints. ]

It's Anakin, open up!

ACTION

[huaaaaagh]

[Whoa, hi, there's some enthusiasm. Kirito is opening up.]

What's going o- oh, geez. Are those projects?

[That's a lot of blueprints, dude.]
