[phone] Help wanted...

[pinkscarflady]

[Mom Lalonde sounds almost distracted today, or perhaps just bored.]

I have a proposition for any interested young people who may wish to take on a job after school. I wish to hire a personal assistant to aid me in several small projects I plan to undertake in the near future.

[She pauses, for a sip of her drink.]

Nothing of particular importance, just something to occupy my time. The job will entail taking dictation, some light filing, and running simple errands. Compensation is negotiable, but intended to be more than adequate.

Interested applicants may apply at 311 Miller Street.

"Understood." She follows in silence for the most part, though her eyes do drift somewhat on the way up despite herself. Observatories don't exist yet in her world, so this could be interesting.

[busy_fists]

Best not to question these things.

[Reaching for her hand with a smile.]

[It was one of Mom's first regains. On top of the house there is a round room that houses a large telescope. There's actually nothing else up there.]

We're going to chart the stars over Mayfield using this. And after we have a basic chart, we're going to see how things look from different vantage points around town. Make sure everything lines up.

Naturally for the second part, we'll need to acquire a more portable telescope, but I'll worry about that.

[pinkscarflady]

[Takes his hand, and moves to sit next to him.]

Best not to...

[She pauses briefly, then adds very quietly..]

Rose will come back. She's strong.

[It's half statement/half question, and more weakness than she'd ever admit to anyone else.]

[busy_fists]

[He squeezes at her hand just a little.]

She'll be fine. You raised her to be able to deal with anything.

Fi takes a bit of time to look at the large telescope while Mom speaks- it resembles, rather loosely, something she might have seen in the robot's ruins of her world, or perhaps the Thunder Dragon's realm.

She nods in the end, turning back to face Mom. "Understood."

[godaime]

Well, that's fair. [ Although, Roxy's next point leaves Tsunade baffled. ]

Oi! That's quite the challenge. The town just overlaps itself. One end of Anderson street creates leads to the same end all in a row. [ ...oh boy oh boy does she admire roxy. ]

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

Now obviously this project is best completed when the stars are more easily viewed. I hope you can handle one or two late nights.

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

A nod. "Most certainly." Mind you, Fi doesn't actually know her limits right now... ...But she can probably manage nonetheless.

[pinkscarflady]

True. But we have little information about what resides above and below. And of course, I don't mean just physical boundaries.

The town follows certain rules. These may conform to the rules of any other place, but they do exist. And I for one would like to know exactly what they are.

[Because knowing the rules helps you to understand how to break them.]

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

Excellent. Then we'll start the weekend after the prom. There's no sense in either of us missing what is sure to be the most impressive party in town.

[Mom is looking forward to prom. It should be interesting.]

[311 Miller] -casually gives Fi an excuse to even have gone to that- :U

[windows_hyliaedition]

"...Prom?"

Fi do you live under a roc- nevermind.

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

Oh? Hadn't you heard? They're throwing a big party at the high school. The whole town has been invited.

Several times. Haven't you been listening to the phone lines?

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I have." Erk. "Admittedly however, I did not realize specifically what 'Prom' was aside from an event of sorts." ...OOPS.

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

It's really just a dance. But most of the town is likely to turn out for it, which should make things interesting.

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Hnnnn... Well she seems to be thinking about it- with a little more thought than a few things, at least in regard to the 'heart'. "...I have wondered, briefly, if dances from most other realms are at all similar to those in my former realm. It was the medium through which I once translated many things." ...Mind, she can't really 'glide' anymore so she can't exactly dance like that anyways...

"...Perhaps I should attend."

[godaime]

Well, it's a shame I don't have my strength. I could have helped with finding out what's below.

Of course all places must follow certain laws. But, finding out how Mayfield conforms to the rules will be more troublesome than anything else.

[ Roxy: scientist lawyer in space! ]

[pinkscarflady]

Well I didn't say it would be easy. Things that are worthwhile seldom are.

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

There's only one real way to find out. You ought to go and consider it an educational opportunity.

And also an excuse to dress up a little and relax, meet more people.

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Blink, blink.

And nod. "...Of course." Hnnn... "Hopefully, what I am able to wear will be adequate." Oho, worrying about a dress... You've already got the first step Fi!

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

I wouldn't worry. Unless you're dressing to impress someone specific, it will be easy to find something suitable.

Honestly, the shops in town even have a few things that are appropriate. And failing that, Mayfield has no shortage of eager tailors.

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

There's another brief bit of staring, before she nods- almost a bow this one. "Understood. Thank you greatly for your assurance."

[godaime]

Oh, believe me, I know. As much as I hate to admit it, the best type of things come from hard work. [ Tsunade is a perpetual slacker. ]

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

Not at all. Let me know how your foray into social interaction goes.

[pinkscarflady]

I've had some hard won victories in my time. I'm simply viewing this as one more addendum to the list.
