[002] [Second Time Around]

[monoideist]

Lithium- I've managed to secure employment, and will be looking for housing tomorrow. You would be welcome to accompany me should you wish to leave temporary housing. I believe the section I am considering has connected, but separate living spaces.

[Pause.]And while I appreciate the gifts of paints, I can't seem to get it off of my hands and

This is Lithium. That arrangement sounds fine; I've yet to find a position I can contribute to, so I will continue looking.

Leave your stained clothes with me and I'll see what I can so about them. It's just paint.

[monoideist]

At least now you can take your time with no fixed deadline. I'm sure we'll spend quite a bit of time moving and settling as well. Thankfully, Section 3 has a private kitchen and washroom facilities.

It is, but it refused to come out of my clothing or skin.

[earth_uninstall]

I'd rather acquire a job sooner than later; having nothing to do is making me impatient, though going through "Aurora's" old things has the potential to be productive. I hope you are capable of cooking.

Strange. Are you sure it's paint?

[monoideist]

It feels strange taking their old things, but I have found a couple items of particular use- and avoiding the need to buy clothing is helpful for saving up.

I've also heard that small appliances and furniture can be found at a place called Ikea in the islands.

It seems to be paint in nearly every way, excepting that it won't be removed.

[earth_uninstall]

It does, but they aren't here anymore. Since we can make use of their things, we should take advantage of it.

I can do reconnaissance on Ikea.

Perhaps it has some kind of specialize dye in it. How did you get it on you in the first place?

[monoideist]

Very well. I will note that I'm growing fond of the media player I've received.

Alright then. Do you have any preference on where in the section we should move?

Someone painted a doorknob green.

H-hi stranger sob

[earth_uninstall]

I've noticed; I'd almost think you were listening to it more than me.

Preferably one of the houses carved into the branches. They seem more secure.

You didn't find that suspicious enough not to touch it?

;A; /clinguuu

[monoideist]

...I'm sorry if it seems that way. I assure you I don't mean to prioritize it.

Very well. I'll keep that in mind when I choose one.

I didn't notice until afterwards.

[earth_uninstall]

I'm just kidding.

Please be more careful. Strange, illogical things happen here and I don't want you putting yourself in unnecessary danger.

/loves you, /trusts you

[monoideist]

Ah. Alright then.

It was simply paint on a doorknob- I'll be sure to be aware of any more threatening things.

[Written a bit hesitantly.]

Pardon my interruption, but you should know; there is no longer an island by the name of Ikea. However, on the eastern side of the island marked Stuff Inc. there are a wide variety of home furnishings and appliances lying about; I suppose it serves the same purpose as Ikea used to. There is a place to pay for what you take, but I am not entirely certain anyone actually does that.

[Pause.]

My name is Fred; you are [more pause as she flips back through the journal] Dyad, correct?

Re: /threadjack~

[monoideist]

[A long pause.]

I'm well aware of this- the Island was referred to as 'Stuff Inc.', though the person I spoke to also referred to it as Ikea. I assure you I've checked my map before blindly sending a friend searching. I don't believe that Lithium would be fool enough to immediately leave without further information.

I am.

[burntorangesky]

[Long pause]

My apologies. I simply have not seen anyone refer to the island by that name for a long time.

[monoideist]

It's alright. Thank you for the clarification- by the idle commentary and what little information I had gained, I thought it was a specific section of the 'Stuff' island.

[burntorangesky]

I see.

[A few taps]

Come to think of it, I do not actually know if that part of the island has a name. Strange.

I hope you, and Lithium, have an easy time of settling into Edensphere.

[monoideist]

I'm sure it does. Perhaps I was hearing from unknowing sources.

Thank you.
