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.

You're in luck! I think I can probably manage.

Awesome, because I can't even make decent boiled water without cheating.

[ okay, that gets her. a beat before belle bursts out laughing. ]

How, exactly, do you accomplish cheating?

[ Ella laughs a bit and shrugs. ]

It's a little trick I do.

Well, now I have to see it. Count me in.

Oh - um. My name's Belle, by the way.

I need to warn you, you might freak out and then I don't know if I could find another cook.

I'm sure we'll both be alright, I've - seen my share of oddities.

But you could tell me what it is I'm in for, just so I'll be prepared.

That's good to know.

Okay, think about something you would like, right now. Something simple, small, best if it's made of a single material.

Alright.

[ is this the thing? she had said she can make anything, after all, and - well - she hadn't actually thought to use that as a cheating method re: cooking. but it does all make sense. biting her lip, belle closes her eyes and thinks of a teacup. porcelain. with a little chip on the brim. ]

Got it.

Aaaaaaaaaaand tell me what it is? I'm good, but I'm not that good.

[ Not yet she wants to add, but her powers are weird enough. ]

[ belle bursts out laughing. protip: don't presume people can read minds. ]

Sorry! It's - a teacup. White, with a blue pattern. It's chipped at the top, near the handle.

[ Ella laughs too, because seriously, Belle. She likes her already.

Ella then ducks and grabs a piece of wood. Yeah, she has wood lying around. Sighing, she closes her eyes and focuses.

Right there, on camera, the wood shifts and changes shape, texture, everything seems to morph quickly as the wood turns into a teacup, made of ceramic, of course. It has a blue patter alright, but not chipping. She then sighs and opens her eyes, giving Belle a shy smile.

Hopefully she didn't freak her out too much. ]

Sorry, I can't really make damaged things.

[ on the contrary, belle watches, completely fascinated. it's not often she gets to watch things transformed into other things, and even despite the lack of perfection in the request (or rather, too much perfection, as the case may be), she grins broadly. ]

No, no, it's still - it's fascinating. Almost like alchemy.

And that's how you cheat to boil water?

Alchemy! Of course. Thanks!

[ She'll call it alchemy from now on. ]

Uh, kind of. I can make regular water boil...or turn stones into bread. Stuff like that. A complicated dish though. It's...complicated.

[ anything to help! she grins. ]

Well. I can't exactly say I'm a gourmet chef, but it's the least I can do. No need to over-exert yourself.

I'm pretty sure you cook a lot better than me.

I'll let you know once I have more details ready? And if you need anything, let me know.

Absolutely. I'm looking forward to it!
