Second Petal | Video | UN: ClickClickBloom

Hey there!

Ruby Rose here. If it's your first time seeing me around then it's nice to meet you and if it's not it's probably great to see you again!

So it turns out that this place is about as dangerous as the dream was. That kind of sucks, doesn't it? I mean- I'm used to all kinds of monsters in my original world but I totally get that it's not everyone's jam. which is kind of why I'm here today.

Back in the dream Mako and Wu had set up a safe house and supply cache system. I think it worked out really well and I've been speaking with Mako and we've agreed it might be a good idea to get that going again. I tried to convince him to get up on video with me but he got all grumbly and walked away. Introverts, am I right?

Ideally it would be super great to get one of these set up in each district but I figure that's going to take a lot of work. So I propose we set up the first one in either the Willful Machine or Cellar Door districts so it's in a central location and we can branch out from there.

Next we're going to need ways to defend and protect the area whether it's people actually actively hanging around, magical protection or whatever cool skills people might have. I'm open to any ideas here. Medical care and any sort of food or other supplies are also going to be necessary too.

Okay I think that's about everything-

[There's a buzz that comes from Ruby's Omni and she glances down at it.]

Oh-Oh! One second- It's Mako.

He's saying "We need to tie this into the network. Ask about extra lamp skeletons." Okay! First off! Rude. They're Cute Little Lamp Friends, don't call them skeletons.

But he's got a point! If anyone has any extra C.L.L.F's to lend that would be a huge help too. Being able to quickly access the locations would be a huge help.

Anyways that's all I can think of at the moment. If anyone has any questions or suggestions I'd be happy to answer them.

Since you're listening to this Mako, you can too!

[She points to her eyes, then back to the camera.]

Watching you.

[OOC: Ruby and Mako will be responding to this post. I've made a handy dandy page for the safe houses here. If you want you can post with how you're character is contributing there.]
arclightning: (concerned | that makes no sense)

[ Don't try to sidestep this one, Wu. ]

Is that seriously why you put on the helpless act?
royalfling: (huh | uncomfortable | look)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-04 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Does he lie..? Does this mean he can't do it anymore? Did he just really wreck a good thing?

Oh, boy... Wu gives him a little, nervous smile
]

Maaaaaaybe? Sometimes? Sometimes I really do need you! But sometimes, I just like the help..?
arclightning: (exasperated | working for wu)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-05 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mako knows that smile. That's Wu's "oh no I have to give a speech and I didn't take notes" smile. That's his "oh spirits help me the press are taking more pictures than I thought" smile.

He raises a very slow eyebrow back. Is he maybe enjoying watching Wu squirm a little? Yeah. Sue him.
]

Uh-huh. How often, exactly, is it the second one?
royalfling: (huh | scared | wave)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-05 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[ To lie? To tell the truth? He is in fact squirming, fighting with his own moral compass for how much to lie to his boyfriend now that the truth is out there. ]

Maybe.... a third of the time? Maybe?
arclightning: (stare | a good one)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-06 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Mako just.

Sighs, quietly, and finally looks back up at the Omni, fighting a smile.
]

How long has this been going on?
royalfling: (huh | scared | sweat)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-06 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh boy Mako got really scary. Wu has the impulse to run or hang up or something, but he's stuck in pace, staring at Mako's face through the Omni ]

How, how long? Oh, um.

[ The truth, Wu! ]

Since I figured out you'd do it..?
arclightning: (smile | we got this)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-06 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. So this is the reason you're into me, huh.
royalfling: (pout | annoyed)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-06 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
What?!

[ He splutters it out, and then, when he catches Mako smiling, he starts to pout ]

Wow, Mako. Wow! That was really mean.
arclightning: (laughing | happy)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-06 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sorry, Wu. Having finally caught on means that Mako's entire facade cracks and he breaks into laughter, which he tries only vaguely to hide. ]

I'm mean for helping you out when you don't actually need it?
royalfling: (annoyed | talk | pout)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-06 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You're mean for interrogating me!

[ g o s h mako ]

And you like to help! It's win-win.
arclightning: (smile | we got this)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's more accurate than me being nice. You gotta learn to be more close-lipped about your secrets if you want them kept.
royalfling: (pout | annoyed)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-12 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- I--

[ He huffs, knowing he's beat. ]

Isn't it better that I don't have secrets from you?!
arclightning: (grin | teasing | didn't say that)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-13 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Now you don't have secrets.
royalfling: (annoyed | gross | why)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-13 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That-- I--

Why am I dating a detective?!
arclightning: (grin | committment issues)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you knew what you were getting into when you hired me in the first place.
royalfling: (annoyed | tired | ugh)

[personal profile] royalfling 2021-10-14 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but I didn't-- I wasn't-- [ going to date him, back then. Mako was just arm candy, back then

He groans and huffs and pouts at Mako
]

I have things I should be doing!
arclightning: (grinning | found myself)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-10-14 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh. Good luck. I'll be home to make dinner. Don't try that noodle thing again.
