[The feed opens to show one of the garden zones, but then turns to face Joe with what looks like a wall behind him. He is looking so pleased and so smug, you don't even know.]

Now I know a lot a you are busy with some sort a situation, but I feel I have ta interrupt fer this little announcement.

[Joe angles the wearable to the ground and takes a

Oh, hey.

[Long pause.]

Hey, nice motherfucking castle.

[Video]

[originaljoe]

It is ain't it?

[So much smug and happy.]

Well not all a us have the credits fer one a them houses. Gotta take matters into yer own hands.

[Video]

[sopor_pies]

Haha, you're all at building your own hive, huh? Didn't all at was knowing that humans were motherfucking about doing that too.

Heh...

[Video]

[originaljoe]

Hive? This is a castle. Suppose you could call it a home too.

Course we build houses . . . or, well we have the robots do it I suppose.

[Hardison is just kind of nodding and frowning thoughtfully.]

That's not a bad idea, man. Pretty boss castle too.

Video.

[originaljoe]

Seems ta be the general opinion round here. Not my kind a thing, but I'll take it.

[Joe gives a shrug while a smirk is plastered on his face.]

Video.

[seems_legit]

[Too cool for your castle, Bro. Hardison can respect that. Beat's being homeless, that's for sure.]

Good call. Little low-tech, but least you don't have to worry about the computer giving you the rush.

Video.

[originaljoe]

[Anything beats being homeless in Joe's book.]

Too true. Although I think it could still get ta me through the wearable.

[All the weird feelings going around have Camille feeling rather irritated, and she just got here. Not irritated enough to start going off on people, but irritated enough to use the video feature more often and freak people out.]

[So right now she's wearing corkscrew troll horns, dark green skin and luminous yellow eyes. She also has some fangs poking out of her mouth at strange angles, but at least she's looking somewhat vaguely human.]

Oooh! So we can build castles here?

[video]

[originaljoe]

[Joe stares for a moment, not exactly sure who or what he is seeing. When he does answer he sounds a little hesitant.]

Y-yeah. From what I've heard some guy built a shack. I went one better.

[video]

[notjelly]

Clever! I can at least appreciate the creativity, though I'm not much of a builder. [She smiles, showing some more teeth, but she looks friendly.] I'm not scaring you, am I?

[video]

[originaljoe]

[Oh no! She's onto him. Time to salvage his ego and masculinity.]

Scarin' me? Course not.

[video]

[squishyarms]

Huh. Good to see someone around here who can actually do something with their hands. Think you and this Fef person could build me something?

[video]

[originaljoe]

Best ask Fef about that. This was her idea an' all.

[video]

[squishyarms]

Okay. Any idea where I can find her? Or what she looks like, I guess, since I still don't really know my way around here yet.

[video]

[originaljoe]

Well I met her down in G13, doubt she lives there though.

As for what she looks like. Well . . . she's grey.

[borderbender]

Quite impressive. Did you two make it yourself?

video;

[originaljoe]

Yeah we did.

[Totally not flexing under his shirt at the moment despite the fact he did NONE OF IT.]

Impressive, ain't it?

video;

[borderbender]

[Oh young, naive humans with their egos.]

And pray tell how you managed to create such a magnificent structure?

video;

[originaljoe]

[His smug look deflated a little.]

We built it a course. Used materials from the junkyard.
