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.

Yeah, but drawings and the like and a detailed explanation goes a long way.

It's...umm...nothing really pressing. Would you maybe be able to get something for me? I mean, it's no big deal if you can't.

[He hesitates for a moment.]

Do you know what a bloodstone is? Just, a rock, kind of green, kind of red...if you could find one of those, I'd be very thankful.

Oh, oh! I think I've heard of those, they're like, semiprecious stones, right? Man, a diamond would be easier.

[ Ella shrugs. ]

Do you have one, or a picture of one, or any idea of what's made of, perhaps?

I think I have a picture on my phone, one second.

[The tablet is set down, and there's rustling in the background. When he picks the tablet back up. There's a picture of one, being held by some other man, who is smiling widely at the camera. The stone itself is a black-green with red splotches throughout.

He points to the stone on the screen of his phone.]

Some-something like that.

[ Ella stares intently for a moment. ]

Alright, I guess I'll need to make some research for the actual composition of the thing. Uh, what does it do, anyway? It's kind of important that I know so I don't screw up.

I don't really know what they do...I haven't really been able to figure that out, yet. So...just a rock would be okay, as long as it looked like that.

[He didn't need it for magic, he just wanted to have it.]

I realize this is a slightly odd request.

Oh, alright.

[ Ella smiles faintly. ]

Dude, odd is basically a way of living for me.

Well, I'm glad to hear that it isn't too strange.

[He smiles slightly, taking a look at the picture for a moment before tucking it back into his pocket.]

My name's Carlos, by the way. I..er..never told you that, sorry.

If I were the kind that shares, I would have some pretty crazy stories.

[ But she isn't SO. ]

Carlos, okay. A rock isn't all that complicated...I guess I'll text you or something when it's done. Anything else, while we're on it?

No, that was it.

[Wait, there was one thing...]

Umm..what do you mean "done"?

Once I make the stone, of course.

[ Like, duh? ]

You're just going to make it?

[Blink, blink.]

How, if you don't mind me asking?

Uh...highly detailed matter reconfiguration?

[ s h r u g ]

Wow.

[He smiles slightly.]

That sounds very interesting! So do you use a machine of some sort, or was that something you got when you arrived here?

Uh, yeah.

[ Doctors make her uncomfortable, scientists, squirmy. She's just remembering that. ]

I'm just weird like that.

Well, thank you. It was very generous of you to offer.

I kind of got bored not to do anything with it, so, if it helps...

[ Least she could do, which means she feels like she should be doing more, but alas. ]

Well, no rush on anything for me. It's not really too important.

You asked for it, so it matters one way or another. No need to play it down.
