I am happy for you both. How'd it get started? You and him.
Who knows. Inspiration could come from anywhere. You could be missing out. Pffft, everyone hates paperwork. It's what makes it so easy to forge.
no subject
Meeting him? He was a dirty ramen thief who regretted his decision when I made him power my forge in exchange, while he lied about being a spy. Terrible spy work really. Thinking back, I'm disappointed. He can do better.
Inspiration for what?
Okay, but see - I don't care. Can't you sort out your own schedule?
no subject
No crown for you. Got it.
Haha. Maybe he wanted to get caught as a dirty ramen thief in order to spend more time around you. You know, spying. I'm sure it was early in his career. Of course he's gotten better.
Inspiration for anything!
Mmm mmm, I feel you, but how do you know you have enough people to do what needs doing? That's what scheduling's all about. That and getting nerds to eat and rest. You better be doing that.
no subject
He very much did considering he was there to figure out if I was still alive or not. By the time I brought electricity back into play he was totally hooked. Sold his soul to me for a bottle of cola. [ They have a very strange relationship that would only work for them. ]
On my direct project? Chrome and Suika are just as enthusiastic as I am. I really don't have to worry about it. There are many other projects, of course, with varying degrees of importance and priority but I can say there hasn't been an issue with work not getting done and if it's getting done then I can't really complain, can I?
I can assure you Gen is very insistent on that fact and is a right pest about it. I get a very adequate eight hours of rest, and two meals a day. Since my arrival here, I don't typically work at the school longer than eight hours either. It's a very relaxed schedule.
no subject
God, there is so much those words tell me I don't know about your world, but good for him.
The work's getting done, check. Gen makes sure you eat and rest, check. What about Chrome and Suika? Are they eating? Are they resting? Are they spending time awake resting their minds so problems can be mulled over and solved in the background?
You work at home too, though, right? Not just the school? How many hours are you working a day total? Folkmore's a relaxed place. There's so much I bet you haven't seen.
no subject
I don't know, I'm not Chrome's minder. Ruri can do that. Suika's fine. If she's not eating with me and/or Gen, she's eating with Kohaku. They don't keep the same hours I do in the lab, but I'm sure they do things... [ He doesn't know. He lives in the lab. ]
I sleep about seven hours, then I get up and have breakfast before going to the school. If there's not much going on, I might leave around four, but usually five, then I get back and work in the yard or my other project for a few hours. We have dinner and then I spend some time planning my curriculum and whatever project I'm going to do next, and do some studying based on whatever book I picked up at the school so...I don't know, thirteen, fourteen hours a day? It's not unlike my usual schedule. [ This is called being a workaholic. ]
no subject
That's an awfully convincing way to say you know they have at least one (1) other person in their life. Given you have a Gen in your life, I'm not convinced they do things.
Dear lord, please, no. That's not... you eat, you work, you work, you eat, you work, you work. That's your whole day. Even considering weekends—tell me you take two days off a week, please, or at least one, haven't you heard of the sabbath?—that's a shitton of work, pun intended. Goddddddddd, have you ever asked Gen what he wants to do in the evenings? [ It's like Harrow and Ortus, if Ortus were a babe and they loved each other. Complete pile of bone chips before her. ]
no subject
I don't know, I'm usually pretty busy and I don't ask about their personal lives all that much. Sometimes they tell me things. That's about as far as it goes.
That's correct. No, I don't take any days off. I presume when Gen's home he's doing his networking thing. We share meals together and I usually see him for an hour or so before he falls asleep.
Sometimes he comes to do my work with me when I have to leave the lab.
no subject
I don't know how it'd ever go any further when you see Gen for an hoooooooooour (plus meals). God, we need to turn Gen into the world's heaviest paperweight and set him on your chest, so you take a whole day off.
*facepalm* so how did I win this much time on your relic away from your work?
no subject
We saw each other more when we used to work together, if that helps. When we were rebuilding the world, we spent ample time working together. It's just more recently that he spends much of his time traveling around the world and I spend much of my time in my lab. If he's not home, we talk on the phone, if that helps you.
I'm capable of multitasking, and I enjoy conversation.
no subject
Traveling around the world, you mean back in your world or in Folkmore? 'cause those are both valid. There's so much to Folkmore I bet you haven't seen. I am glad you talk on the phone, yes. Congrats, you're on the floor.
Ah and I'd heard multitasking was a myth.
no subject
I did mean at home, he's a diplomat and is representing our kingdom's interests abroad usually. Here, I suppose I can't say I've seen all that much of Folkmore, but I did see the desert. It was very desert-like, and exactly as I expected. Made me miss having a motorcycle at my disposal.
If he had a problem with the amount of time we spend together, or speak, I'm sure he would tell me. He is aware that he needs to spell things out if he wants me to catch on. Otherwise I have to operate under the assumption that everything is fine.
Force of habit. I was in charge, people used to talk to me constantly. If I couldn't work and carry on a conversation at the same time, we'd still be building the hydroelectric plant.
no subject
Ah, you too got dumped into the desert for Agrona's trial by a thousand degrees. At least the fighting tournament is more fun, even if you're out after one win. There's also a very tundra-like tundra, though it's also the tech school, so maybe you already go there? It has dragons under the mountains doo doo doo. Also hot springs where you can ~*~stargaze~*~
Also how are you cool enough for a motorcycle? They don't kick you off for sheer nerdery?
Oh cool cool cool, so like, he has to meet *you* where you are, you don't have to meet him where he is? It's all on him? All that emotional labor. God, Harrow and I communicate better than that.
Hey hey, I know a mostly dead hole in a rock that could use you if you don't mind robes and facepaint.
no subject
I teach at the tech school, yes, I've been there. Although I have ample time to do research there when I'm not teaching. I will admit we haven't been to the hot springs.
Ha. No one kicks you off if you build it. Also I don't drive, but I could probably drive in the desert. It's like the motorboat, lots of open space. If I need to go anywhere, Gen drives.
In a way, he does. I'm self-aware enough to know that not being forthright with me tends to frustrate people, and more than that they know that too. It's not malicious. I can try, but more often than not I'm borrowing trouble. I suspect if I asked him directly, he would tell me everything is fine and he'll tell me otherwise. I don't really expect you to understand why this is the way it is. I make him plenty of things he's satisfied with. I just made him more cola this morning.
Do I at least get a robe? It's a pain in the ass being dropped naked somewhere and having to make clothes.
no subject
0% surprised that's the one you teach at. It's just ~so you~ do check out the hot springs. Good for your muscles and for stargazing.
Uuuuuugh of course you built it. You gonna build another motorcycle or two here? You know, for people, possibly redheaded lesbians who carry swords?[ No Gideon has never driven anything, but that won't stop her. ]
Mmmmmmmmmm, your love language is definitely gifts. That's for sure. And no, I don't get it. I don't think I could date you even if you were a hot girl.
As someone who has been dropped naked on said planet, you definitely get a robe.
no subject
I could make a project of building a motorcycle. Building cars and bikes are some of my favourite things to do for fun.
It wouldn't work out because I'm not even romantically attracted to women. Not for their lack of trying sometimes, I suppose. Perhaps Gen and I are just uniquely compatible.
Excellent, then I would agree. That'll save some time.
no subject
It's something people in Folkmore could use. More transportation. Not sure what you're doing with poop that you think Folkmore lacks...
Nor I to men. I'd say you could be my new Kyle, but wooooow are you and Kyle like nothing alike. Besides only liking men.
Ten thousand year old ancient equipment. Maybe you could make it better. Oh, bonus points if you could make snow leeks taste good.
no subject
I'm making biofuel. Cobb was complaining that sourcing fuel was a problem and that seemed like a good enough project. Of course, it would be especially required if I followed it up by building a motorcycle.
I doubt I could be anyone but myself.
And I could make better equipment, that I'm sure. I don't know about snow leeks, depends on what's wrong with how they taste.
no subject
Poop fueling motorcycles. Huh. The Nine Houses uses everything from a person, but uh got to better fuels than that. At least for spaceships. Not that we're in space.
Oh I am sure you could not. Not without a heavy dose of Thirteen's help.
Bland. Boring. Like they are sucking the life out of you by osmosis.
no subject
No, actually. Biofuel, while that is merely one of the many things you can use to make it, is far more sustainable than the rocket fuel that humanity was originally using in the 1960s, and beyond prior to the apocalypse, and like most things that have been reinvented, sustainability has been at the forefront because there are a lot of people on the planet and a finite number of resources. We got to the moon on refined biofuel, so it's perfectly capable.
While salt can do a lot of the heavy lifting, I'm sure there's more that could be done. You have to get really creative, especially if that's all you have to eat all the time. I can tell you, I have hundreds of fish recipes.
no subject
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah, uh, given we literally use every part of the human body where I come from on everything from soap to brushes to farming and so on, I'm sure we'd use biofuel if it were the best option around. Necromancy's pretty sustainable! People die! And not to get all blah blah history, but this is the society built after the apocalypse. Like, bare minimum, the Houses themselves are spread through the Dominicus System. There's worlds all over the fucking universe, and poop fuel isn't what's getting people around. I really don't know what it is. You'd have to ask, IDK, Palamedes about that, but we're doing a lot more. And hey, once the stele's are set up, we *are* using necromancy to fly from stele to stele, and that is directly using that energy vroom vroom. Clean as it gets.
Yeah, creativity is not what people went for on the Ninth. The first time I had fish felt like such a delicacy. Amazing. Incredible! Flaky juicy meat.
no subject
Ah, well, so is ours, but we lack the ability to use necromancy. Whatever your definition is for that. We're just ordinary humans with the Earth's finite resources, and 21st century knowledge. There are likely several alien societies far more advanced technologically than we are. If there's something better, we'll find it in time.
To find that a novelty again would be an interesting experience. It was something like 80% of our diet for a long time. Even now it's probably still pushing 60% of what we eat. Creativity is a must.
no subject
You have your basic thanergy and thalergy. Every living thing has living and dying energy since our cells are dying all the time, even while we're alive. Those get used in different ways. Badabing badaboom there ya go. Presumably Blood of Eden has something else figured out since they don't use necromancy... Anyway, yes, better and better things to come. I'm like ten thousand years after you.
That sounds like a lot of fish. Harrow would be fine. No creativity needed. She was fine on snow leeks. I'm glad you like flavor.
no subject
Really? How curious. Well, if you're so far into the future and I can confirm the changes in just a small 3700 year span, then without a doubt things will have changed by then.
I prefer not just flavour, but heat. Now that has been something difficult to come by. However, it was a lot. The choice between eating fish or dying, well, you tolerate it.
no subject
They certainly will. Though I swear, some people talk like a thousand years ago is yesterday. 3,700 years huh? You're one of those?
Oh heat is good. Spice! Little explosions in your mouth. Oh, I know how you feel. Snow leeks or dying, it was a close call, but I wouldn't give Crux the satisfaction.
