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.
no subject
It's complicated. I spent most of it in a state of stasis, although I was conscious. I only worry about my chronological age when it suits me, or it's funny. If anyone asks, I'm twenty-seven.
I've eaten a lot worse than fish. Survival's not for someone with a weak stomach really. You can adapt to a lot. Humans are incredible that way. Spice is definitely the way to go. I remember fondly all the times I got to have various curries and things. Oh, take out places.
Really, at heart, I'm still that spoiled modern kid.
no subject
Rule of fun for the win, for sure. Though how you wouldn't die of boredom, I don't know. Never got to ask... anyone that before. But sure, sure, 27 ;) I got you.
MMmmmmmm executive decision NOT to ask what else you've eaten. Please do not tell me. I don't want to know. Oh I'm sure I'd do the same if I have to, but I'd rather not think about it in advance.
Curries are good.
Though you're practically an antique by my time's standard.
no subject
I wouldn't torment you, but I will tell you that the lack of take out options and my knowledge of food science has made me quite the competent cook, after much trial and error. Baking was something I struggled with, but Francois whipped me into shape.
Ha, am I? Well if I'm an antique, just remember Gen is chronologically four years older than me, something I will be pleased to not let him forget.
no subject
You talk to people here enough, you always have takeout in Folkmore at the touch of a spoon. Something I like about this place.
Ha, meanwhile even if we live to 10,000 I'll never let Harrow forget she's a year younger than me.
no subject
True, but there's a certain enjoyment to preparing your own food. Mostly I am impressed enough I can get a bag of flour. Much easier than making it myself.
Teasing Gen is the true pastime around here. I won't let him forget he's much more ancient than I am.
no subject
You say that, but I'm not 100% convinced. That's definitely enjoyment in eating food. Gen already said something about seeing about convincing me it's fun to cook, so I guess you'll both have your chance.
Teasing is a great pastime. *rubs hands together in glee*
