Eleventh Rerun - Flies with honey

[reckless_rebel]

I've been here over two years now. It's a weird thing to notice.

Maybe I'm just getting used to this place. Scary thought. Maybe I'm just going crazy. I'm mad, you're mad, we're all mad style of thing. You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps.Anyway, it's not here yet but winter's coming up. I don't know if anyone remembers Kitty, but

It's a bad idea.

[reckless_rebel]

Got any better ones?

[sting_to_death]

Keeping things as they are.

[reckless_rebel]

The status quo is never a good idea.

[feathered_earth]

I think it's a good idea--I don't have a stove, but I can bring in the stuff to put on it. Hot cider's just the thing to make saying hello to confused, goopy people a little less uncomfortable.

[sigh reminders of people who are gone. Including this one really quiet guy who put space heaters together.]

I suppose in Edensphere what you get used to is that there's no getting used to it.

[reckless_rebel]

Yeah, and god knows, the greeters are gonna need it as much as the newborns if it gets as cold as it did last winter. Blizzards are not my best look.

[You and him both on the missing people. Gundamuuu.]

That's a good way of putting it. Expect the unexpected.

[feathered_earth]

Same here. Icicles are very pretty, but I don't want to be one of them.

And there are some things that are kind of regular. "Welcome to Edensphere. Get used to being turned into a dress-up doll at random, talking funny, and waking up in different beds."

threadjacks!

I still think we should put together an info pamphlet for newborns. The map is a good start, but there are a few other things everyone seems to run into headfirst.

[lingeringlegacy]

I don't quite notice it when I was hatched, but does the Hall of Beginnings not have temperature controls like in Section 4?

[reckless_rebel]

Not really. It's cool enough in the summer but winter's a [pentaps, kinda tired of these soap suds] pain in the butt.

[lingeringlegacy]

Considering it's an important location, do you suppose it's possible to have it installed? Stoves and volunteer shifts are nice, but it seems better to have a longer-term solution.

[reckless_rebel]

That's actually not a bad idea. But I'm not exactly Mr. Wizard. We'd need permission to mess around with that.

[fugue_angel]

Fortunately, we're switching to the warmer clothing sets starting late next week. Hot drinks sound nice- I wouldn't mind some cider during my shifts- but I'm not very good at [...] not burning milk.

I know one of my Guides brews hot tea for the newborns, but having options is a very good idea. I'll see if I can find something like a hot plate. That should be easy, right?

[reckless_rebel]

Yeah, Big L. A hot plate would be perfect. It'll be nice when the cold gets here.

Thanks Fugue.

He's going to be serving scorched hot chocolate. Yum yum.

[fugue_angel]

Big L?

You're welcome. I'll have a look in the Bazaar on my lunch break. Two years, that long huh?

Delicious scalded milk and chocolate... His poor victims.

[reckless_rebel]

Boss Lezard.

Right on. [Pentaps for a moment.] Yep. Hard to forget about this time two years ago I was building a show fort and claiming sovereignty over a show store.

[bloody_pens]

I'd say "may you reign supreme for two more years", but who the hell wants to hope to be stuck here for that long?

I can make a mean espresso. I just- don't have the means to.

[reckless_rebel]

"May you live in interesting times" hey, at least we're never bored here, right D?

Maybe someone has the parts? Because now that you mention it, an espresso sounds just like what the doctor ordered. For anyone.

[bloody_pens]

That works! Or "May your couch never explode again, exhalted Overlord of the Sphere."

Man, if we can make an espresso machine out of stuff we find in the Yard, I'll put the damn [Whoops! The "damn" is suddenly obscured by soap bubbles! also pretend there was no mun fail and the "hell" above was whited out, too] Oops. I'll put the STUPID thing together myself.

[reckless_rebel]

Now that is a nice thing to say to a guy.

Hey if you have the know-how I will do my best to find the parts.
