Sessions Worlds and Stuff

[:]D Yeah! Colors!
@) *is watching the lights turn on and off*
*Sophie steps back to speak softly to Mack* Hey, you okay?

][:] [[:] *his ears pointing down a bit as he scratches his head, he quietly replies,* [[(] just. a bit of conflict of interest... *thats about as indepth as he'll likely go with everyone around* ][(] ...

= ... MetalDad says he's ok with what he's got onhand right now. but yea, day after tomorrow might be best to create appliances. maybe even start Garden stuff by tomorrow. =
^u^ oh Goodie! 0u0
|/=@] "Dots, would you like to lead?"
[!oT] [!~T] umm. [!uT] ok... [!~T] hmm... *starts looking about for what might be the best way to go*
7B3 *playfully starts to run a circle around the house* 7BD
=[|:|33] LoweR ThinG IS WaterprooF, SO LakE WoulD BE OK.
( | x | ) >:Not waterproofed!!!; ( > m < ) ( | x | )

I get it. I just wanted to check in. And, whatever details you want to keep to yourself, are yours to keep. As always.

[:]/ We're okay with not the lake. [:])
@) ...wonderwhatit'slikeinside...

0u0 well, the lake isn't far. I'm sure that anyone who wanted to take a quick look could do so while we took a look inside. if its ok. 0u0
= Yea, i'll check in. = ... just don't go downstairs, and things should be perfect. mainfloor and upstairs are open for exploring. =
|/=^] "Ah, that sounds nice." |/=@]
[!uT] I think there is something interesting beside the lake. *starts walking along towards the lake*
7BD "Heehee!" *follows along*
( | w | ) >:House is nice;
=[|:|33] LooK BY LakE. *goes with Nyx and Dots*
][(] *gives a thumbs up and a nod, before leaving the situation to follow the Lake crew*

[:]D @D *they head towards the house*
...I'm gonna go help keep an eye on the others. I'll check out the house next time. *goes to follow the lake group. She wants to keep an eye on Dots...and she knows that being inside the house will be a touchy spot emotionally for her. Easier to put that off*

|/=^] *nodding, they go to open the door for Hamnet and Factor*
^u^ see you soon. 0u0
*inside, the house is looking to mostly be a series of empty grey rooms with outlets and lights, as well as a hole in the center of the livingroom where a fan could go. there are not yet any lights installed where the kitchen is supposed to be, waiting for the exact appliance and counter layout to be made before such things are determined. Spaces for 3 normal bedrooms and 2 smaller guest rooms have been made, split between upstairs and the main floor. a room that is designed to be a bathroom is upstairs as well, but its not yet got a sink, toilet, or tub. there is a dinning room area right beside the kitchen, and, the way downstairs is currently blocked off*
^U^ this is incredible! 0U0
= Glad you like it!
( | w | ) >:different than our home. has ups and downs;

=[|:|33] WhaT WilL WE FinD?
7B3 "Somethin cool."
[!~T] umm... this way? [!uT] *leads in towards the lake, sticking along the side of it*
][:] *is simply following along, no amount of taking lead expressed*

@) andwecanseesunlightwhileinside.
[:]) There's lots of space to put stuff!

*Sophie follows along, wondering what sort of "cool" will be found*

^u^ Yes, the windows really help make the place feel more homely. 0u0
|/=^] "both homes will have a bit of a garden though." *they laugh a little, holding a hand up beside their mouth*
( | w | ) >:Rooms are weird; ( | x | )
= *quietly moves the, 'do not enter' sign to go downstairs, moving it back once past* I'm going to be checking in on MetalDad.

[!uT] I think... here we are. *up ahead is a dip in the land. a dried up riverbed beside the Lake. resting in the middle of it is a very old, broken wooden fishing boat*
7BO "Woh!" 7BD "Old boat!" *scampers up to it to take a closer look* 7B3
=[|:|33] OooH...
][:] hehe. thats neat. ][(] good lookin' Dots. ][:]

[:]? The mine has rooms, Jofie.
@) bathroom!

Huh. So we found a ruin after all.

( | x | ) >:That counts? And bathroom is weird to; ( | w | )
^u^ *has gone to check one of the upstairs rooms, measuring it out some to try and visualize it with dressers and hammocks and pictures*
|/=^] *is likewise investigating the living room, trying to determine if it might be better as a formal place, or if more things like instruments and toys might be put in there if there isn't proper room elsewhere. They think downstairs would be likely better for instruments and the like, but they have yet to see it*

[!uT] that's nice. Hehe... [!~T] *is still real confused with the world*
7B3 "now I wanta build a boat."
=[|:|33] *is investigating the wreck, careful to not get a splinter* *Nyx is being a bit less cautious*
][(] let's see what we've got. *headed right for a spot at the back end of the boat, Mack's investigation pays off as he opens the built in storage crate and finds...* ][:] hmm. Fancy rusty fish hooks. To be expected. ][(]

[:]? [:]) Baths feel nice.
@? itisweirdthough.

I wonder who left it here. If it didn't just pop up on its own, that is.

][:] well with another moment, we'll see if there's a name on any of this. ][(] ][:] *carefully searching through the hooks, while Nyx and Marlow look all around the boat, poking at dry-rotted boards and thinking of boats, Mack ends up coming to a conclusion* ][:] well, it was probably a fisherman from a long time ago. ][(] thats all i'm finding here. ][:]
[!~T] oh. ok. [!uT] *had been hoping there was more of an answer... but, around a fold, near a location that currently is a lake, there was sure to be a time and place when there was a boat 'here' in the past. unless someone took care to care and remember it existed, you could walk by here and never even find a dried riverbed... Folds really were great places to explore. the act of seeking things unknown gave them the chance to be known again. So much must cease to exist when forgotten...*

^u^ *is coming back down to check the dinning room and kitchen areas*
|/=^] *also in a state of HOME-STRUCK, the Darkmatter take a turn headed upstairs to look at the rooms*
( | w | ) >:Don't think i'll ever get baths;

Well it's still an interesting find, even if it turns out to be-- *she almost said "nothing". Fortunately, any worry is too slow to show on her face* --I think we should go find the others; they're probably sick of looking at an empty house by now.

@? ifyoucan'tgoinwaterthenprobablyno.
[:]) This is waterproof! *wiggles their metal wing* So we get baths.
@) andbathtoys!

( | x | ) >:Toys?; ( | w | )
= *coming back upstairs, going to find Ribbon and the Darkmatter* = Well, MetalDad is going to want to work on plumbing tomorrow, so Tubs and Sinks and Washers should be chosen tonight.
^u^ thats good.
|/=^] "Shouldn't be any issue."

][:] Sounds good to me. just a one way ticket to a bandaid around here.
7B? "Ehh." 7B3 "yea." *starts scampering houseward*
=[|:|33] BoaT IS InterestinG... BuT OtheR ThingS AnD OtheR BoatS ProbablY BetteR.
[!~T] ... what were you going to say? [T_T]

[:]) Yeah! Like boats!
@) andducks!
[:]) But not the for eating ducks.

*once she's sure the kids are moving on* Nothing. I mean, I was going to say, "nothing"...

( | X | ) >:Can't Eat???; *now Jofie is just getting confused*
0u0 we can get to work on the garden soon to, right?
= yea.
^u^ good. I'm So excited! we're almost moving in! >U<
|/=^] "It will likely take a little getting used to, to cook normally, but everything is looking to be perfect..." |/=^] ... |/=@] "thankyou."

[TnT] not nothing... I Never would have found it if there was nothing to see... [!nT] [!n!] [!nT]
][:] ? *looks back at you and dots* everything ok?
7BD =[|:|33] *are already scampering/headed back to the house*

@? yeah? notreallysurewhy. *doesn't really get eating anyway*
[:]? Because... one is food and one is toy?

It's fine, Mack. *to Dots* I know. I just worry a little too much about things sometimes. Thank you.

( @ m @ ) *is getting real confused trying to distinguish between 'food' and 'toy'* ( > x < ) >:CAN eat both; ( | m | )
= you ok Jofie?
( | m | ) >:Just confused;
= I'll help. =8)
( 0 w 0 ) ... >:OHHH, ok! I get it now; ( | w | )
= great!
^u^ how are you liking the House so far?
|/=@] *is looking out windows* |/=^] "looks like Nyx and Marlow are coming back."

][:] ][(] alright... *continues on to give you some room*
[!~T] shouldn't couldn't wouldn't, worry. I... I saw it in the Darkmatter when they asked me to look for something for everyone to explore. They want me to feel more comfortable with Seeing Hope and helping make Hope as it should be. not real sure what the Seer/Maid title would be anyway...
I don't think... mmh... I'm not sure if its helping or hurting.

[:]? Can eat toys...?
@? @) houseisnice.

You found a cool thing. I bet Nyx is already telling the others about it; he was pretty excited. So, it's a small help, in this case. The powers we have, they can do both... I know I can't go around thinking that everything unknown to me has Av lurking behind it. But I also can't completely turn off concern and looking out for my friends. And I wouldn't want to, not completely.

[!~T] Av? They're... *they are trying to remember an, 'Av'*

][:] *is waiting by the boundary of trees that separates the lake and the house. a useful precautionary measure in folds*

( | w | ) >:well, I can; you probably can't though;
^u^ great to hear. 0u0 we'll be working on the house much more soon. then, we get to live here. ^u^
|/=@] "I'll want to check a few combos for machines later... But maybe finding a proper job so we can provide for ourselves would be better."
= no need to talk like that. whats ours will continue to be ours. =

*opening the front door,* 7B3 "we founda ol' boat!"
=[|:|33] HaD WeirD HookS IN IT.
