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]

you got any wood?

i probably need somethin to carve into it too... but it doesn't have to be a proper knife or anything, just sharp

[wow doesn't deserve u marcos... for real]

a knife would be ideal tho, now that i think about it

[heliophilous]

That's probably doable. I gotta ask what kind of art project are you doing that requires all this? How big is it?

( and where is it? he's curious. )

[incelligent]

golly gee thanks my guy 😊

[he's not going to vomit bc he's used to sounding like this geeky nerdboy trash but u bet ur bottom dollar the person who is writing this will]

oh! i make miniatures

they aren't too big? the heights kinda vary from now and then but

[At least this is true.]

you should be able to hold them in the palm of your hand

stuff like that

[heliophilous]

Oh, that's not what I expected you to say. But that sounds like a pretty intensive hobby.

What kinds of miniatures? Like people around you or something else?

[incelligent]

mostly soldiers!

it's pretty fun. and once you build a whole bunch, you got yourself a little army

[marcos are ur spidey senses tingling yet... this is cause for concern]

i just think they're neat

[heliophilous]

( it's an unusual hobby but it doesn't start any warning alarms ringing in his head just yet. )

how many you trying to build? i don't know if i can supply everything you need but i can get the paint and some wood, i think.

where you gonna put all these things?

[incelligent]

i used to have them all in my room

[That actually makes Simon quite sad.

He liked his room. It felt like such a safe place.

That's the last thing he feels about any of the locations here.]

right now tho i

im probably just gonna make one

[heliophilous]

i can get you some stuff. are you still at the safehouse? found a spot to live, yet?

[incelligent]

[oof

no and no]

how bout i just come to you?

you're doin me a really big favor, anyway

might as well make things a little easier for ya as a token of my appreciation!

[heliophilous]

we might need to meet in the middle
my place isn't easy to find

and i don't keep the supplies here either
i've been fixing up a building

i can meet you there
get the stuff before i get there?

[incelligent]

works for me!

just drop me a time and a place and i'll be right over

[And, with some added enthusiasm that is not entirely disingenuous:]

thx bud!!! you're the coolest 😎

[heliophilous]

i'll get back to you shortly.
just need to make sure i've got all i need.

talk to you soon.

[incelligent]

weeeell, now that you've got my id

just feel free to give me a ring... or a ping??? uh, or a whatever u call it

i'm lookin forward to meeting you

[For now, he must play his cards close to his chest.

All who are useful must stay.]

it'll be good times all around 😏
