i'm looking for an easy thing [ OPEN MINGLE ]

Who: Anyone and everyone! Who wants to look at books?
What: BOOKVALANCHE
When: Let's say from the 25th and onward for simplicity
Where: The Storyteller's Temple, in addition to the library that's finally getting some much-needed attention
Warnings: Mark anything that comes up!



The library is finally getting some renovations! Between some new bookshelves (hope someone here is good at hauling) and a veritable cascade of all sorts of books and supplies, an awful lot needs to be transferred from the Temple to the heretofore unused library, and any help anyone has to offer is much appreciated!

But, of course, there's also so very much to go through for your own perusal. Just look at all this! Coloring books, puzzle books, stories of all sorts, comic books, fashion magazines, all sorts of survival texts...you name it.

This all needs to be put away and stored in those neat little waterproofing book protectors - shelves need to be moved, supplies need to be secured, and someone should probably take inventory. But also...there's a lot of fresh new reading material on an island that previously had none.

Isn't that worth looking over?

Oh I'm glad you knew him. He was very good at making things, though he didn't tell many people. He just used to... leave the baskets everywhere.

[His voice is sad. He misses him more than he can even admit to himself.]

Acknowledged. You were close?

(Legion isn't so dense they wouldn't notice something like that, even if they're not sure how to respond to it.)
savedbyasong: (sad)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2019-04-01 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... [Close... It's probably the only way to put it. They had never... Despite Gladio's advice, spoken about whatever it was between them.]>

I cared for him a lot. Do still care...
forwearemany: (Side)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2019-04-02 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Acknowledged. We are sorry for your loss.

(The words are merely an echo, something they've heard organics say in similar circumstances, but Legion understands loss.

They understand loss more than they had ever desired.)

It's everyone's loss I think. [He shrugged, it's too... It's too raw and he feels like if he let's this wound open. It will hurt too much. It's selfish and cowardly and Connor deserves so much better but... He can't do it, not right now. Not here in this public place.

He took a deep breath.]
Thank you though... Sorry I just...

[He put more books on the shelf.] Have you explored any of the new island?
forwearemany: (Flashlight)

Your apology is unnecessary.

(They chatter.)

Our attempts at search resulted in us shutting down due to lack of charge while surrounded by motion activated predators. Our ally had to evacuate us.
savedbyasong: (worry)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2019-04-03 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [He blinks, worried.] I'm glad your friend was able to rescue you? Were you hurt? How did you regain charge?

[The last is a question that just dawns on him. How do those who require a power source survive on an island without power... It's not something he's thought about before.]
forwearemany: (standing)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2019-04-04 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
We are unharmed. Like all technology found on Enso, we are charged via proximity to mana pool.

(So they just had to be moved to a mana pool and were functional again.)
savedbyasong: (unsure)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2019-04-04 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. You charge from the mana pools. [Sure. It's no crazier than anything else. He takes out his notebook and writes that down.] I'm glad it ended well at least.

The mana pools provide sustenance to many forms of life.

(People can drink the water in place of food, after all.)

Affirmative.

(They shelve another book.)
