*snaps awake*
FETH! That was a nightmare.....

*marla wakes up from nap*

what? anything wrong? no ones invading again?
still waiting on my 5 m cuddley Kraken though, 1 day delivery as hall out of stock....*implies giant cuddley krakens are esential*

*maria working repressor drawing up a rather large and complicated plan for tne new castle with various secret tunnels, a libiary and planning out the kitchen*

*Returns from the forest with another cart of wood*

*Takes a quick inventory check on the wood cut already*

*Groans and knocks on the Repressor 2's door*

Ooc: The entire Ordos Chronos was 'cause I had literally no idea what to write for the second letter.

*maria opens door looking concerned at groan*

Whats up? i was just drafting a plan out?

OOC You bought your time well
Good job nevertheless, we got a few laughs out of it. Nice to separate (non-comedic)drama(which I will admit, I am one of the major contributors to that) and the Room for a couple days.

Bic Well, according to the schematics, its going to take another hundred thousand trips, two per day, to finish the castle...Maybe we should down-grade to maybe a cottage? Not if you don't want to of course, and I still want to do the castle, but maybe it will just take too long...

*Rubs neck*

I am going to go with whatever you choose, mind you.

[Answering machine in the Baneblade records message, then flashes a small light and beeps quietly every few minutes] [Muffled by the Kraken]

Ooc: I ran a charity raffle once and ordered a husky plush from China. It came and it was 2 metres long. People went feral buying tickets for it.

I did the math and i kinda went shopping....

umm *points to several qaud track machines with track units each the size of a bane blade and other smaller machinery*

i kinda got somthing .... bigger....
Industrial grade qaurry and logging machnery, a bull dozer or 7..., mining excavator and multaple all terrain dump trucks and diggers...

dad helped me out with the list....
oh and i also bought a giant 5m cuddly kraken,,,
umm it seems ot be the craze at the mo.

Oh. Well. That's nice. I guess that means I get to spend more time with you. You wanna do something then?

*Leans on the Repressor door*

Or you want me to go? I don't mind if you do, I just value honesty,

OOC I swear, BC has done everything under the sun.

[Walks over and picks up Benny, who's still silent and occasionally flinching] [Cuddles him gently] You're okay. You're alive, and we will always come and save you... Plus, you back up into a database anyway.
[Benny nods and hugs back] [Looks pale]

You should sleep, it's been... An unnaturally long day.

[Benny shakes head and points to Fenrisian hall]: Gotta admit, Yarrick's vox made me hungry. [Grins]

[Laughs] Silent all day, then concerned about your stomach. Humans, you have your priorities in order.

Ooc: My past temp jobs are absolutely unbelievable. But seeing as you're a zoo keeper...
I have been a swan-weigher, a kangaroo mascot for the council, Ronald McDonald's assistant in public, a demo table runner for GenCon, and on occasion I make giant ponies for money.

It does. *looks happy* I need help drafting this plan...

I'm stuck on something.. *points to complex wall sized plan drawn up with full elavations and charts*
Your the expert. Have I got this right?

Oh and I did not want to make you redundent... Just speed things along. The special items can be hand made. We just have machinery for the floors and stone etc...

*ferasian hall unfurls 2 for one wolf wenrsday offers*

OOC Okay, so I understand most of them but...
Ronald McDonald's assistant...That's low man...

Bic Oh, yes of cour-*Sees wall* I have no idea what any of that is saying, and I kindof don't want to. That is too complicated for my tiny, tiny mind to comprehend it.

*Poker faces very hard*

*Has pinpointed that the purring is coming form inside the baneblade*

Leo: Hmmm how to save this cat?...

*Tries to open locked hatch*

Leo: Oh yeah its locked, ummm.

*Tries to formulate a plan to get the cat out of the tank*

Ok plan b then..

*goes over to large table and clicks revealing a holographic castle you can spin and remove various sections with a touch or drag*

That one might be easier to understand. Just drag it like a model. And same with parts. *removes holographic roof showing a bedroom*

I kinda like planning.... I'm rather good at it...
Sorry I grew up on a planet of engineering and engineers...

Then I think I should leave it too you. I have no idea with the technologies of this time, and I doubt I can learn this in a day.

*Walks up to Maria and puts arm around her waist*

I have the utmost faith that you will do this correctly.

*Walks away form baneblade and returns 3 mins later holding sword*

Leo: Ok lets get started...

*Pauses*

Leo: Wait a second, I can just knock...

*Knocks on hatch*

Leo: Hey its me again, you got a cat in there?

*Purring intensifies*

Thanks. *looks at plan and it vanishes*

Just gotta wait for the engineer to work out the various supports we need but given day or two we can start getting it tidied up.

Now my jobs done.and you don,t need 100,000 wood loads. I wanted to go over to mini feneris and watch the sunset.

*checks a map*
Yep. That's the spot.

*Knocks again*

Leo: HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

*Purring slowly dies down*

*Knight grins*

Alrighty then, up you go!

*Picks up Maria and slings her over his shoulder*

*Pockets the map and gets going*

He, you get no say in the matter of you being carried. It's the least I can do after you saved me over a years worth of wood-cutting!

Leo: Hmmmm oh well.

*Goes back to watching TV*

you forgot the quarrying too,,, it was projeected at 5 years.

give or take a month.
just be careful, theres a 5 m cuddley kraken in the living room and if you fall it will hurt both of us, umm because... i wanted one,,,,, unless you fall on the kraken...
(maria)

You have a pet Kraken? Huh. Well. I'll meet it when we get back, whenever that will be...

*Goes back to carrying Maria like a baby*

You point in the direction, and I'll get us there.

*Waits for Maria's instructions*

its cuddley one... plushe... stuffed fabric?
it was big and comfey.... and i kinda imluse shopped.

*points*, past the hall. the ridge to the west of the small forrest. top of that low rise overlooking the lake.

Quite the walk. But that's fine by me, I just get to look at this lovely face for longer.

*Continues the long walk*

umm... the ferasians added a visual effect.... its only 5 minutes walk.

they wanted the mountains to be more impressive from the balcony... Rune preists...

...

*Doesn't look impressed*

I guess that works too.

*Makes the 5 minute walk*

Where to now?

*points to bench*, sit and wait till the sunset dips below the mountains in the far distence, they are realy about 200 miles away...

when it does, you get quite the scene. il not ruin it.

*Goes over and places Maria by the bench*

*Holds Maria's hand and waits*

*Purring restarts in tank*

*sits happily*
wait till the sun dips then the light show begins, Agmar told me about the place, its rather a unkown spot round here,

*sun begins to dip and lake light up telling a saga in the shadows and light*
