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.

video. and permalocked.

[pilot]

I'll take a look. Where at?

video. and permalocked.

[lar]

Gee I don't know, this place is so big.

What room you are? Oh, wait, maybe somewhere in the open.

[pilot]

I'm not looking for you through every room in this place. I'm working on an access door over by the mess hall. Follow the sounds of banging.

whatever we were --> action!

[lar]

Lovely, I'll be there in a minute.

[ And ten minutes later she's actually following the sounds of banging. ]

Are you sure you know how to repair that thing?

[pilot]

It opens now, doesn't it?

[ he straightens from where he had been kneeling by an open panel and dusts off his hands. ]

Let's see what you got.

hint: it does work, because having it explode would be mean

[lar]

I...guess?

[ That's so very professional. She hands over the thing. ]

I swear, if this works I've probably leveled up or something.

you mean hilarious

[pilot]

We'll see.

[ he looks it over critically first. doesn't look like it will blow up in his face at least. kneeling down again, he tests it against a bolt and--holy shit it worked. ]

Seems to be doing fine. Good job.

There'll be always another chance

[lar]

Huh, so that's what it does. I got one that shot lasers.

[ And one that was a lot like a lightsaber...until it exploded. ]

[pilot]

Among other things.

[ don't mind him, he's gonna test out everything it can do like a five-year-old with a new toy. because han solo is nothing if not a fail adult. ]

No lasers in this one? That's too bad.

[lar]

You wanted a multitool!? Could've told me that before I got my face blown up.

[ Worst customer ever. ]

[pilot]

Thought I mentioned that. [ yeah, he really is. ]

[lar]

Well I think I'll work on that later.

Like when I'm done with other stuff.

[ you're...welcome? ]

[pilot]

How'd you get the materials for it?

[lar]

I'm resourceful like that.

[ Detail? Perish the thought. ]

[pilot]

Uh-huh. [ as annoying as that is he can respect it. ] So if I ever want to get spare parts, it has to be through you?

[lar]

For this particular thingy? Yep.

[pilot]

Right. How much is that gonna end up costin' me?

[lar]

Your manners towards me, and we'll decide what else later.

[ She really needs nothing at all. ]

[pilot]

I have been well-behaved.

[lar]

Then keep it up sport. I don't really need anything. Well, friends maybe, but you don't buy those.

[pilot]

[ a snort. ]

You'd be surprised.

[lar]

You would be surprised.

Anyway, I like to help. That's about it.
