uhhhh

hey there. hiya? i um

[#killingit with the Social Interaction. Guess who was pulled from his home world at ten and has been living on the Edge without any form of social media for almost a decade? Simon may be handy with gadgets and gizmos, but the whole talking to people thing? Not quite his forte.]

sorry, new here

still combin through the info decks or whatever they're called

was just wondering if anybody had any extra cans of paint lyin around?

[and ofc if things couldn't get any stupider]

ps the paint would be JUST for painting NOT for snIFFING

[who is gonna break his heart and tell him that art supplies are extremely expensive here...
plz... wreck his shit]

I might. Any reason you're needing the pain? If it's not for sniffing and all.

( with the work he's been doing in trying to get his soup kitchen set up, he's acquired a lot of supplies. )

[incelligent]

uuuuuh

did u really mean to say pain

[gulp, this guy could be anybody??? like for all simon knows he could be an axe murderer... stay cool, stay friendly, stay casual.

seconds later, definitely too late:]

buddy, pal

because i just rly need some paint

[then, for added context]

it's for an art project

[heliophilous]

( oh, dammit. )

No, I didn't. I meant paint. My name's Marcos and I've got some paint lying around. Containers not cans though. But, it might work.

( he's not a serial killer. )

And just to fully explain, I've got the paint because I've been redoing a building and paint's important.

[incelligent]

my MAN 👍

[The words Fenris uttered Red Wings ring clear.

"Trust no one."

Still, Simon is alone here, without the safety of the Apex and all the weapons they've amassed over the years. He can't count on anybody just yet, as there isn't anyone who answers to him, or who he answers to. He reassures himself silently- There must be a leader, and when he finds out who that is, he will learn to climb the ranks.

Dangerous as it might be, Simon is itching to get back to something that feels normal, an old habit. It is a hobby that he has pursued for many years, something that helps him feel as if he is in complete and utter control.]

well heh ya see

since you mentioned redoin buildings n all

i just realized i might need a lot more than just paint

[Simon realizes how this must sound. Thankfully this time, he doesn't have too tall of a request. Depending on how useful this Marcos person is, that will come later.]

haha!!! silly me

@ren.amamiya

[variate]

What kind of paint?

[incelligent]

hmmmm

acrylics would probably be the best option? i'm not picky tho

[He recognizes that username.]

whatever you got, throw it at me 😜

i can make it work

[variate]

Right- I don't have any.
I just wanted to know what you were doing.

[incelligent]

[And people have the nerve to call him the creep?]





why

[sparklequeen]

I'm not sure, sorry. You might be able to find some but a lot of people here do their art digitally.

My friend @joe.jones was making some, I think, so we could make game boards. He might have some extra.

[incelligent]

ugh, bummer

[He knows who this is, but thankfully it isn't face to face, and thankfully he never gave her his name.

She will notice that this supposedly casual reply came very slowly however.]

i'm the kinda guy who prefers to work with my hands

[simon please be careful? we know u mean (train) murder but she might just think you're flirting]

there's just something about it, y'know?

feels different

[sparklequeen]

I understand that. We didn't really have a lot of the digital stuff where I come from so it's taking some getting used to for me.

[incelligent]

yeah?

[She did mention a kingdom the last time they spoke. Err, she spoke and he just ragequitted.]

what was it like?

@kylo.ren

[warfares]

Why would you be sniffing paint?

[asldkskd SIMON]

I AM NOT DOING IT AGAIN IT WAS ONE TIME AND BEFORE I PASSED OUT I SWEAR MY ENTIRE LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES

[simon please take your internal paint sniffing monologue elsewhere everyone can see u]

[ishotyouuu]

or whatever the equivalent is in this place

@joseph.kavinsky

[dreamkillers]

lol there's def better things to snort here than paint fumes

i'M SO SORRY

[incelligent]

[Joseph will find that he gets no reply. Simon is currently researching if there is a way to block communication with certain users on the network.]

2/2

[incelligent]

[And, when he finally realizes that there isn't:]

NO

THANK

YOU

@john.dixon

[baum]

There's nothing to paint

[ Because he just assumes you're talking about walls, and not...displaying an actual hobby. Sorry Simon. ]

[incelligent]

[no, no, please don't-]

not with that attitude there isn't, johnny boy!!!

[oof]

[baum]

Look, I think the safehouse is boring too, man
I don't think they're gonna be wild about us repainting
