What's up, Exsilium?

[ ... ]

We! We're totally up, get it?

[ A nervous laugh. Ella pls. ]

I swear it sounded better in my head. Anyway! Welcome, newbies! I'm Ella, Ella Ellis and yeah that's my name. For those that don't know yet, I'm the person that gets you whatever you want, no matter what. Unless it's like, really complex. Or alive. Or a hydrospanner. I mean, seriously Han, the damn thing has exploded like ten times in my face already. Sure you don't want a battery powered screwdriver?

[ Not that she can really do one of those without the risk of explosion either. ]

But yeah- you need something, you ask me. I'm still not charging for this, so hey, better make good use of it. And yet I didn't want to talk about this, or at least not only this. I keep getting sidetracked.

So for the ones that were around on August, I hosted a pretty kickass party, right? September wasn't so good for parties because we were too busy, er, you know. Plus we got bombed and not in the fun way. And now we're on the Moon, which is kinda cool, but you know what's cooler?

[ Imaginary drum-roll! ]

VR Rooms! I've been messing with them, and I have decided I can totally host a party inside of one of those. Make a nice, big house, with an even nicer, bigger back yard, maybe put some grills, some games, a pool, make it something more afternoon-evening to let everyone relax for a little bit. And something like a college party in the evening, although all I know about keggers and the like comes from movies so some help would be appreciated.

[ Obligatory pause to breathe. ]

But yeah, it's totally happening, sometime soon in a close VR room to your Moon base. Probably on the last week of the month, but you've been notified! I'm now open for ideas and suggestions. Just like the last time, food and whatever will be handled by yours truly, and the music will most likely be handled by Claudia, I guess. So if there's any real party planner among us, you might want to step up and give a hand.

This totally trivial message ends here.

[Han Solo]

I actually have a working hydrospeanner, but I need you to look at it to make sure it actually does what is supposed to do. This is the first time I've created something I don't have in my world, so.

[Lisbeth Salander]

The tobacco is ready, if you still want it.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She's put some VR control panel instructions under a filter that's about two rungs up from complete novice standard. Hard earned rungs, these were. The whole "encryption" thing doesn't come naturally to her. The coordinates themselves aren't particularly encrypted either. It's basically like she PMed her a public Pastebin link.

Her room is still a work in progress. Notably absent are the slimy pod hanging from the ceiling, or the throw pillows on the floor. Outside is a desert - she hasn't gotten around to any of the gardening or other exterior decorations, and there are still several stories separating her bedroom (in the lower of the two spherical structures) from the ground. That part will take a long time. The sun in the sky, visible through the windows is an oppressive red, painful to look at.

Kanaya herself sits at the desk (the backless swivel chair cannot be seen from the comic reader's point of view with the desk itself in the way), heavy green makeup on her lips and eyes, hands folded in her lap.]

Wow.

Hired. So hired. Let's be friends while we're at it.

Also you have horns. That is so cool.

[The graphics aren't tuned to a high enough quality to render the flustered fluctuation of her glowing skin at such a casual proposal. She just continues to look white, like a corpse, diamond statue, or Twilight character.]

I Dont Know What You Do Without Them
Its Been A Mystery To Me For The Entire Duration Of The Time Ive Known Of Humanity

I think it's just a human thing, not to have horns. I mean I know I would have a hard time getting a shirt on with them, or even walking in and out of rooms.

That Is True Some Of My Peers Suffer Quite A Bit Trying To Sleep Peacefully
Not All Of Us Are So Well Endowed

So some of your friends have like, massive horns?

Well yeah, I guess you are pretty, too.

Please Dont Flatter Me Like That We Both Know Its Not True
Hang On A Moment

[She quickly mocks up a black-and-white pixel outline sketch of these two boys - one with spiraling horns like a goat, the other like a bull.]

Theres A Example Of What I Am Talking About

No I insist. Probably more now that I think you might be blushing. I guess I'm kind of awful.

Wow, just. Wow. Those are horns.

Yeah They Sure Are Keratin Structures Coming Out Of A Head

And do you guys do anything with them?

Like...fight with them or use them to decide who's more of a badass or something?

Sometimes
Theyre Objectively Rather Crude Weapons Though

Specially since you don't go running around in your fours.

Right?

No
No That Is Not A Thing We Do

Cool. I mean, you don't strike me as someone who would bash heads with someone else over some argument.

I'll contact you once I get things more ordered? You and whoever else shows interest.

Yeah That Sounds Good To Me
Just Let Me Know Once You Have An Image In Mind And Ill Start Trying To Construct The Assets

Sure thing! Talk to you soon.
