Horseshoe, Day 21, Early Morning

[consider8]

[Eight switches on her screen, looking a little dour.]

Hello. I'm in need of a significant amount of paper and bottles. I have a project in mind that requires both.

I saw that there is a printer available, would it be possible for me to use some of it?

I would make the purchase myself, but I used it all for clothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

[O-Oh... why... would they do that?]

Mmm... makes sense I guess...

[Not really now she's going to have trouble sleeping tonight...]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita winces sympathetically.]

The person who caused it left a couple of platforms ago, don't worry. And we do have non-water-based fire extinguishers, too.

[consider8]

Mmmmrrrr....

But they are still there, right?

[In her world that would be a hell of a defensive technology... or a booby trap.]

[unfavorableinstigation]

I can show you where they are, if you want the one in your room taped at least.

[Though the whole water-repulsor thing will likely have to happen sooner, for general safety.]

[consider8]

[She gives the matter a thought before shaking her head.]

Wouldn't that endanger anyone else if a fire were to start in my room?

[As much as she is scared of what could happen, she understands the why at least.]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita gives a reluctant nod.]

It's a balance, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have help, or protection, when you need it.

[consider8]

I will be fine.

[She will make do, but will have to figure out a solution that she could tolerate.]

Thank you for letting me know. I will be looking out for S'reee. And be careful when I meet her.

Looks like a wrap?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods.

And as for the rest of this space...]

Ready to get back to this?

[Gesturing around them at the room.]

Or would a break be better?

I think so!

[consider8]

[Eight nods in return.]

I think a break is needed. We're going to have to find or make glue.

\o/ A nice pleasant fade for them both, then:

[In the back of her head, the peridexis makes a snarky remark about velcro; Nita does her best to ignore both it and the remark.]

We might still have the ingredients for that around - in Standard if not Games, there's a crafts section there, though it's small...

[Assuming it was all still true now. Ah well; the search begins!]
