[Catherine's been wandering about all day, checking on various things. Showers. Faucets. Water fountains. Each time running a Geiger counter through the water stream, then watching expectantly... only to remain disappointed and wander off again

What's it, Cat-Cat?

[Pointing to the pond now!]

What do you see?

[lifesmegassweet]

I see a nice, crystal clear pond! It's really nice, though it'd be nicer if it had ducks or something. Too close to winter, I guess.

[survival_101]

I see a forty year science project to pull off the same thing, and one that still doesn't even work.

[lifesmegassweet]

Well, we ain't got the radiation problem you guys got. So I don't think there's much of a project to it. Say, does this mean you've never tasted clean water before?

[survival_101]

Yeah, that's just it. We actually had a huge thing going, Project Purity. It was supposed to purge all the radiation from the water; we even got to take over an old world monument for it. And it's just... ah, shit, what am I doing, talking about this. Before I got here? Don't think I had clean water before.

[lifesmegassweet]

Ah, I get it! You guys puts all this work into something, and now you gets it with no effort, and you feel like you been wasting your time, right? But that's okay! There's bounds to be other projects you can do to help folks out! Heck, maybe you'll find one that'll help folks get back home, and you cans use whatever infos you gots here and fix the water even faster back home! Who knows?

Wanna try it? It's really tasty!

[survival_101]

Yeah! Yeah, that's exactly it. I mean... well, we've been around each other a while. You know how I am. I learned to survive in those ruins. I can't... civilization is just weird.

Guess I just need something to take my mind off things. Heard from a bunch of people that a job board went up?

Wait, clear water has a taste?

[lifesmegassweet]

It's weird, but it's fun too! When things are easy, you can focus on nicer things!

Yep! We caught a goat for it! It was megas fun, and we even got anemoi for it!

Well, kinda. It tastes real good when you're thirsty!

[survival_101]

Once I get out of survival mode, we'll see.

Heh, everything tastes good when you're thirsty.

[lifesmegassweet]

It does! Wanna go get something to drink together?
