[Casper looks... tired. But excited! He smiles at the screen.]

... So if we vote for a lab the scientists shut up and any damage is contained. Right now I think they're using the quiet car which is sort of the opposite of what it's intended for.

And I'd like the quiet car back for... quiet. And doing some writing and such. So let's just... get it over with.

[He looks like he's about to turn off the screen, but stops.]

Also Q'uila, Della, Zagreus, and Thanatos - wanted to have a chat with you. Uh, not together? I mean you could, but I just - there's no private filtering here.

[Now he's done.]

I feel that there's a story you're fighting not to tell, my friend.

[helborn]

I mean, that's what I'm writing.

[Casper that's not what he means and you know it.]

[fun_thementalist]

Amidst a rather damaged quiet room, from the sounds of it.

[ He smirked - that wasn't exactly a difficult evasion to recognize. ]

I hope this isn't about the stars we've painted onto the ceiling in one of the rooms? We were quite proud of our constellations.

[helborn]

Oh, no. The stars are great. I miss the stars... that was one of the few good things about camping.

[fun_thementalist]

I can’t help but agree. For all that I missed modern civilization and its trappings - being able to get a gorgeous view of the night sky was a huge upside.

So, I’m thinking someone was involved in more violent redecorating, then?

[helborn]

I'd like to head off any violent redecorating... even if there's soundproof walls, we still ahve to deal with whatever happened in there.

[fun_thementalist]

Are you going to let me know what happened, my friend? [ His voice was very amused; ] We can keep dancing around the subject, of course, but I will keep persisting, as a fair warning.

[helborn]

Not totally damaged, just... occasionally busy. A full whiteboard, some kind of eyewash station in one corner... it's kind of being taken over.

[fun_thementalist]

Does redecoration really bother you so much? I found whiteboards handy well before I had anything to do with science. They're rather multi-purpose.

[helborn]

Nope, but the addition of more items means that someone has a definite intent for the place.

... Also it'd make some people I like happy.

[fun_thementalist]

I mean. Obviously, I've got an interest in a lab as well, for exactly that reason.

It might also encourage more people to work together, yet I don't exactly have high hopes about that. I shouldn't jinx things, though!
