Sessions Worlds and Stuff

[:]? @? *notice the tension...*
*...but Sophie steps in to distract them, trusting that the darkmatter knows what they're doing* See, Hamnet, Factor, this is the color wheel. We put them around like this so it's easy to see what colors make other colors.
@? @) colorsmakecolors?
[:]) *attention drawn to color wheel; they haven't even seen the picture Dots drew*

|/=^] [!~T] *go aside where conversation is not likely to be overheard*
= ... *takes note, but knows that everything should be ok, and continues looking at Marlow's picture* = this looks nice. we can work with this.
=[|:|3D] YaY.
][)] *grabs the picture Dots drew, crumbling it up*
0u0 Like this. *taking a blue and a yellow, Ribbon colors them over eachother, comparing it to the green thats between the blue and yellow on the 6 color colorwheel*
7B? "wanted to see..."
( | w | ) *is thinking about being good with art stuff*

[:]D It's green now!
That's right, that's how it works--just, if you're going to mix colors, be sure to use the colored pencils or crayons more than the markers. With markers, sometimes the other colors get stuck in them.
@) *puts down the marker and reaches for the colored pencils*

0u0 maybe you can try making your own color wheel.
= Lets start making things.
7BD "yea!"
( ^ w ^ ) 'Yee!'
=[|:|33] ThankyoU.
][)] *is spending some time to himself beside the table* ][)]

|/=@] [!~T] ...

[:]D Yeah! *grabs a new sheet of paper, pushing their abstract picture aside*
@) *pulls the colored pencils within Hamnet's reach*
*she considers asking Mack if he's okay, but she isn't sure she can do so without bringing anyone else's attention to it*

][)] ][:] ][(] *a moment more, and he puts the picture away, vanishing back behind his facade* Any ideas for propulsion Onponn? ][:]
= well, theres Grav-lev. it would likely be a bit more costly, but that should be a non issue. =
=[|:|DD] YaY!
7Bo "ooh!' 7B3 *thinks grav-lev sounds fun*
( | w | ) 'an mine?'
= just as easy to take care of.
0u0 first, we start with the three primaries. Red, Blue, and Yellow. 0u0

|/=X] |/=<] |/=@] *the darkmatter seem to focus real hard a moment, before they continue with dots*
[!~T] *dots is a bit confused, but shortly seems a bit more on the side of shocked* [|AY][ERR] [!nT]

[:]D @D *eagerly keep coloring*
*Sophie goes over to Dots and the darkmatter*

[!nQ] don't... I didn't... play... [1nT]
|/=@] *seeing you come over, they calmly and quietly explain* "I checked them for their Title... they are a cross between a Seer and a Maid of Hope. Passive knower, and one who makes their Aspect as it should be. They saw something in Mack. an old Hope... I..." |/=@] *they're not 100% sure what to say next*

0u0 0~0 0u0 Just like that! now lets find a Green, an Orange, and a Purple ^u^
][:] doing good! ][(]
= 7B3 ( | w | ) =[|:|33] *are headed over to the kitchen machine with its connection to the alchemeter to start figuring what parts would need to be built*

Did you ask before you did whatever it took to check? *she's more concerned about Dot's clear distress*

@? thoughtweweresupposedtomakethemwiththethesecolors.
[:]) *happily grabs a purple colored pencil*

0u0 well, you can, but Purple is more purple than Red and Blue. like... 0~0 this. 0u0 *she draws a hexagon on the color wheel, then draws a triangle with the primary colors, showing that the point on the triangle that is purple is closer to the center than the purple on the hexagon* the closer you are to the center, the more faded it is. 0u0
][(] yea.

|/=@] "I asked if i may try and discover how they knew of Mack's relation with that image, and they said it would be ok to check for whatever might have went wrong."
[1nT] don't want this... I've never played the game? *Dots is incredibly unsure about whether or not they have played the Game before*

= *has concerns for Dots, the Darkmatter, and You, but is trying to stay out of it for you* = so, computer for-
7BD "Everyone!"
=:o = maybe. lets start with a computer for Jofie first though. =
( ^ w ^ )
=[|:|33] *waits patiently*

@? @) okay.
[:]) *starts to color the circle with the purple*

*takes Dots's hand in hers* It doesn't matter if you have. You're safe now.

*her hands feel flatish... like Av*
[1nT] no I'm not. It. It just followed me out. Its inside me, and its making me see these things. Mack he. he once really wanted to hurt people... [1nT]
|/=@] "he's changed. he had friends then and now that have changed that. you have friends here as well."

^u^ good job! next ones are Orange and Green. 0u0
][:] and you see how Purple and Yellow are on opposite sides? that makes them complementary. ][(]

= here's a good one. *creates a standard desktop computer, designed for long-term running* = hmm. going to have to... = it would probably be easier to check the outcomes for combinations and get a connectable computer that way.
7B? "so what'r we going to do with this one?"
=[|:|33] DunnO.
( | x | ) 'maby eat it?' ( | w | )

All of us here--the adults at least--we each have something following us. Something we did, or that we saw, or can do, that we'd rather not. We help each other find a peace beyond that. Whatever Mack's done in the past, now he's someone I've trusted with my life and the lives of my friends. And everyone here has extended me the same courtesy.

@) *gets the orange marker*
[:]) Complementary.

[1nT] ... well, I can see how much you want to help... and thats nice... [!~T] I'll try and focus on the positives. [!uT] even if its hard. Learning how to control this will take lots of effort.
|/=@] "I'm glad you're trying. thats all any of us can ever Hope to do." |/=^]
[!uT] hehe... Yea.

^u^ exactly! 0u0
][(] i've got myself a nice set of colors. all the primaries.

= well, you have had that noise maker a while. = I'd guess you'd tire of it in time. =
( 0 W 0 ) SKRAWK! *thats enough for Jofie. they spit the sound maker on the ground, and scoop up the computer, looking incredibly happy* ( ^ W ^ )
7BO !!! 7BD- *Nyx almost involuntarily drools some. like someone held a freshly cooked bacon before him*
=[|((] *is sad*
= its ok Marlow. We're going to figure out how to make yours first.

Thank you for trying.

[:]D Yeah! Red, and yellow, and blue!
@? @) jofieandnyxlookrealhappy.

][:] yea. that'd be the Doomer in em'.
0u0 0~0 hmm. wonder whats going to happen with the noise maker.

( ^ M ^ ) 7BD- "ahh..."
= lets see... arms. thrust. connector ring... = hmm. with just a bit of time, I might be able to figure out what code it would have directly. = ... =8)
=[|:|3(] ThankyoU...

[!uT] I guess i'll try and avoid coloring from now on.
|/=@] "you need not avoid it entirely. just try and not draw things you've seen in others."

[:]D We could play with it! *they think it seems like a lot of fun, given how happy it made Jofie*
@) yeah!

There's a balance to be found between self-expression and doing things that'll make other people uncomfortable.

[!uT] it sounds hard. But I know you want me to succeed.
|/=^] "thankyou for understanding."

0u0 well, you'd want to ask Jofie for it. ^u^
][:] pretty sure they're done with it.

=8? hmmm;
=[|:|33] ... ! *has a slight surprise as his current lower half sits down to wait*
( | W | ) 'this new MINEthing is great!'
7BD "YEA!" 7B3 7B? "numbrs." 7B3

*nods*

@D *calling over to Jofie* jofieareyoudonewiththenoisething?
[:]) *is finishing coloring in the wheel, with green*

|/=@] "lets get back to the others."
[!uT] ok.

( | W | ) 'Huh?'
7B3 "ets trash now." 7BP "go ahead n take it." 7B3
^u^ there you go! the 6 main colors of the color wheel. 0u0
][:] plenty to do with a color wheel. mostly look at it though. hehe. ][(]
=8? almost;
=[|:|33] ...
