[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.]

Probably to mess with us.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I'd kind of prefer she pick less fatal methods, then. I mean, I've never really found terrifying danger to be conducive to building things.

...maybe I should make a fortress or something.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

A fortress, huh? That actually sounds like a good idea.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Certainly make things a lot more safe in times of murderplants.

I wonder if there's anything like that here...

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

If there isn't, you could just make it with the imagination mud, right?

... I haven't had a chance to try that stuff out yet, myself.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I made a desk with it. It's... pretty neat, in that "How does this even work," "breaking all the laws of physics" way.

I'm trying to figure out how these might've looked so I can remake them somewhere else. Well, minus the creepy basement part. I'm not measuring that place.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

The ruins? Why would you want to remake whatever was here? Assuming they weren't made like this to begin with.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Well, if we're here to build, this seems like a decent place to start.

Well, and I thought it'd be kind of fun to try and figure out what it looked like before.

[Jessica: Very nerdy.]

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

I think I liked the fortress idea better.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Nothing that says we couldn't do both. I think one of the buildings here would make a better warm up, since I'm not one hundred percent sure what a good fortress looks like. Other than, like, star-shaped and, um, made of something called "tabby"? And there's piles of cannonballs.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

We could probably have something better than cannons for the fort.

... anyway, these ruins are in pretty bad shape. How will you even know if you rebuilt them properly?

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Unless someone tells me, I guess I won't. It's just an interesting challenge.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

... I guess it's not like we have anything better to do around here.

Other than trying to find the Queen, but I'm not having any luck at all with that.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure she's anywhere. Which I guess makes sense, given how much most of us want her dead, or at least injured. And how many people here have superpowers and stuff.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

I guess so. Then again, we don't now how powerful she really is.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I'm going to guess "pretty damn" as a starting point. I have no idea how she's managing all this, but however it looks like she has enough resources and knowhow to get a lot of things done.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

I'm not even going to try to understand how this was put together. All I care about is taking it apart so I can get back home.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Have we ruled out some sort of mind control or something?

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure what you mean. I haven't had any problems keeping control of my body...

...

...

Except... you know... ((Chocolate Disco))

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

...yeah.

But like in movies and stuff, sometimes there's a situation where you find out that like all the weird other world stuff was because everyone was, I don't know, in a lab or something, and someone was making them dream of it with some gizmo.

I mean, I wouldn't think that kind of thing is really likely, but... it's an option.

[violent-archery.livejournal.com]

Oh, that kind of thing...

... I don't know, that'd be kind of hard to pull off, wouldn't it?

Unless just about everybody here I've seen is just a creation of the program.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thinking it over, it seems implausible, though I'm not sure anything here is completely implausible.

It'd probably help if we understood a little more about the place in general. I mean, yeah, it's obviously something "magic," but magic probably has laws, too...
