[003/108] Creche Beta, under construction [Action/Accidental Video]

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

Sara Smith has mud on her dress, and sand in her hair and fingernails, and scrapes on her knees.

She is silently taking small jars of Earth - sand from the beach and mud from the Jungles, it looks like - and spilling it out onto the ground, where it explodes outward into tools and pieces of equipment. She has a lot of jars, and after each one, she takes a pen and checks off something on a piece of paper.

And she's making, so far: A bunch of wires and magnetic resonance sensors. An iPad and a USB keyboard for it. An office chair. A small series of coolant tanks.

She takes out her last jar and with a nonverbal cry of triumph, spills it out to get... a heart-shaped piece of chocolate. Anatomically correct, which is disturbing, but obviously not what she was looking for as she stamps her feet and makes a frustrated noise. She briefly considers eating it, but then chucks it into the bushes in disgust. Let the bunnies have it, or something.

What a waste of food... [Because that is the important thing to notice here.]

Sara turns, taps the vine, and a scroll rolls out. She writes in response:

I am never eating chocolate in this garden again. If you want to risk it you can have it next time.

[sororite]

I don't think so, mademoiselle.

Re: Text

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

You heard about what happenened?

She goes back to assembling all of the various components of... whatever it is together.

[sororite]

Yes. It's a shame, they could have been quite entertaining if used appropriately.

[Switches to Voice:]

Ah, mademoiselle, what are you making?

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

[Well, this is embarrassing. You receive a reply in text:]

An Anima Weapon, like Anna's.

[sororite]

[Keeps speaking.] Ah, like Chère Anna's? I see, I see, how interesting...

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

We were soldiers back home. She was my CO.

Please write. I can't talk now, I went to the wild and something happened.

[A celestial laying down on her stomach on a floating rock was watching the proceedings from above.]

Interesting form of chocolate you produce there. Trying to copy the chocolate factory of the garden and causing unrest that way?

Re: Action

Sara gives Tenshi a perfect lineface, then shakes her head. She also rubs at her throat.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Well...it's a shame, I thought someone had a good idea to cause some unrest. Oh well.

...wait, you can't talk?

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

She writes down in a journal and holds it up:

For a little while I can't talk. Went outside the gardens to get this Earth.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. Those stupid effects.

So...what's this stuff for? Some kind of decoration for your home?

[Tenshi...had no idea what an ipad was, after all]

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

You've fought Anna before, right?

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Yes, in her huge armor. She was pretty good, did rather well against the murderflowers, too, I think. Why?

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

This is for making the armor.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

...So...

[Tenshi pointed at the usb keyboard]

This is some sort of breastplate, then? Or what?

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

She shakes her head and laughs - normally it would be a girlish giggle, but while she's muted it's an odd noise.

This isn't the armor. It's for MAKING the armor.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

...So kinda like an anvil and a hammer and stuff? Well, okay, your tools are pretty weird, but why not, if the result can fight that's all that matters!

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

She finds this idea amusing, from her grin.

More like a magical girl's wand or brooch, but don't tell Anna I said that.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Oh, she doesn't like being called a magical girl?

[Tenshi tried to ignore the grin. Not her fault she didn't know science!]

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

She doesn't like to think that it's magical or holy because she likes to think she can understand it. Like she couldn't understand it if it was.

Re: Action

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

But magic is pretty easy to understand, I think, so that'd not mean anything on something being magic or not. Sounds like she's wrong either way.

Even if she doesn't really understands it and just thinks she does? [Or so Tenshi thought Sara was implying]

Re: Action

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

Pretty much her implication, yeah. She nods.

You can know how something works without knowing why.

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG HATE bye >.<

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

That's right. Half the people from my world don't know much about the magic works, and it doesn't matter anyway.

So, what are you going to use that armor thing for? Getting ready for the next murderplants?

Re: TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG HATE bye &gt;.&lt;

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

Dealing with monsters.

Her expression significantly darkens as she says that.
