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.

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.

What about stuff that isn't exactly a weapon itself? Smoke bombs, ammunition, that sort of thing. And are there any kind of limitations?

[lar]

It can be done, but examples and descriptions would help a lot. Like, telling me how they work, what are they made of exactly, things like that.

[argentite]

Are you free to meet in person some time? It might be a lot easier to explain things in person instead of over this thing.

[ plus, maybe she wants a sneak peak at how any of it would work!! ]

Also, anything that you want in return, just tell me.

I've got some time tomorrow? I need to work on the stuff I've already compromised to do. But I agree; face to face helps a lot.

[ Plus if she gets to see things explode, all the better. ]

I'm basically admitting I can do whatever I want. I drink Coke, and I'm working on giving fresh food to the Initiative so they don't complain about we being barely surviving.

[ Another shrug. ]

Anything I might want can't really be given just like that.

Tomorrow works. Where are you staying? I can drop by if it's easier.

[ her expression changes to a frown ]

If I do end up asking you for something, I don't want to just take it without giving something back. Something you can't make, maybe, if that's what you'd like.

I'll find you by the cafeteria then.

And, I don't know. Let's just say you owe me one, if that makes you feel better.

video » action!

[argentite]

I'll make sure to remember it. [ you have her word etc!! ]

[ and then later the next day, she'll be hanging by the cafeteria poking at some of the food without really eating it while she waits for the other girl to show up. she's got a couple pieces of paper stacked beside her — mostly rough sketches of whatever she could remember in good detail from her dad's armory ]

action!

[lar]

[ Ella arrives some time later. She has been trying to rest a bit, since the last time she overused her powers wasn't pretty, so she actually looks pretty healthy as she walks in.

She locates Allison and walks over to her. ]

Hey, did you have to wait?

[argentite]

[ she slides over to make room for the other girl ]

Not too long. I got preoccupied trying to organize everything anyways.

Are you doing okay?

[lar]

[ Ella shrugs noncommittally. ]

Been better, been worse. Are those the sketches?

[argentite]

Yeah. I hope they're okay because I'm not really much of an artist.

{ she spreads them out for the other girl to see and they're decent. she'd put in what she could remember from her ~artist phase~ to try and give the figures as much detail as she possibly could, considering they were about to be made from scratch and all. ]

So how does it all work, exactly?

[lar]

[ Ella examines them in silence. ]

These are pretty good, actually. You've just made my job a lot easier.

[ Looking up, she shrugs slowly. ]

Long story short? I pick matter from around me and reshape it on a subatomic level to whatever I want it to be.

[argentite]

Wow. And that doesn't require some kind of — I don't know, trade-off?

[ nothing supernaturally amazing ever came easy right ]

[lar]

Besides the matter I use to do whatever I want? Well, it's tiring, but I'm getting better at that.

[ It's still pretty tiring though. ]

[argentite]

That's kind of amazing.

[ and she means it most sincerely! ]

So, what can I do to help?
