[Now that she's reasonably assured that Death by Singing Roses isn't a high likelihood, Jessica is back to what she assumes is the point of her being here: ARCHITECTURE!

[Jessica sometimes is not the fastest on the social uptake.

[Notebook in hand, she's inspecting the ruins, occasionally pausing to jot down measurements or details.]

Sorry. [No she's not]

What are you doing?

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

We're supposed to build, right? So I'm trying to figure out what these buildings used to look like, and maybe replicate them. Some of them, anyway.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Using the wild places, you mean.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

The places with the magic dirt?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Yes, those. It can also be sand.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Sand's still dirt. Kind of.

But yeah, get some of that, work on copying buildings, profit, right? It's not like there's much else to do here. You've seen the library, right?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I have. They have an interesting collection.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

"Interesting" is the opposite of the word I would use.

Another opposite would be "useful."

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I'll agree with you on the latter. The former is more a matter of perspective.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.] I never got why someone would be into watching other people get together. It's not like anything ever happens in that stuff.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I was referring more to it being interesting because of its non-standard selection of material, but there's also that.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

It's about the same as most of the used book stores I've seen.

There isn't even an encyclopedia!

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

You know I wonder if we could make one.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

[She gives this some thought.]

I'm gonna say probably not. It'd be hard enough narrowing down what's important from what worlds, and I really don't think there's enough people here with a really useful pool of knowledge.

I guess we could do one for this place, though...

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

It might be nice to have a reference available.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

That's a really good idea... Once I finish this up, I'll have to check the vine and see if anyone's interested in contributing.
