drnaa (3) - spring is in the air

[yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk]

[There hasn't been snow on the ground in almost a month, and the weather is getting just a bit warmer each day. Drones have been babbling that today marks the beginning of Spring, which means that all of the winter weather crap is behind them. While the almost-robotic way the weather shifts between seasons creeps Rikku out a bit, she has to admit that the change is more than welcome.

Today, she can be found outside doing one of the following things:]

A: Front lawn of 1767 Beaver Street
[Rikku is sitting cross-legged in the midst of some scrap metal and electrical parts that she's helped herself to from both her own house and various other places around town. Drones don't really need this stuff, right?

She isn't paying much attention to passers-by, instead concentrating on her tinkering. Currently, she's taking things apart and trying to put them back together. That way, she knows how they work when she inevitably uses them to build something larger.]

B: Mayfield High School
[Class is for suckers, and more often than not it bores Rikku to tears. As such, she's brazenly cutting class and sitting on the football bleachers with the food she's packed for lunch. She even waves to people as they walk by and offers to share her lunch.]

C: John Doe Park
[Rikku is barefoot and her pants are rolled up past her knees. There's water all over the place as she flails, and she's screaming/whining about the temperature. Stepping into cold water elicits a certain reaction when you're not really expecting it.

She's just learned the hard way that it's still a bit too early in the season for wading in the pond.]

She's still really amazing, even for a lesser doll.

I think she's great! It sounds like your world is capable of some really amazing things.

[suicidoll]

It was capable of quite a lot...

(Not the happiest of undertones.)

...but thank you. These dolls have quickly become my greatest hobby here; I'd love to expand on the types I can make.

[Rikku catches that, but she doesn't comment much on it. No point in rubbing salt into the wound.]

If you don't mind, maybe one day you can show me how you do it? I promise not to take advantage, I just really want to see how they're put together. And maybe if we put our heads together, we can come up with ways around Mayfield's limitations?

[suicidoll]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. It does involve sewing the dolls together, though; is that alright with you?

[yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk]

Yeah, that's fine. I know how to sew; we have to make our own clothes back home, and the clothes have to be well-made in order to stand up against the elements.

[suicidoll]

Then you'll be just fine. Is there a particular time you'd like to set this up? My schedule's relatively open.
