[19:56] <AnionCation> ==START==
[19:56] <AnionCation> You wake up, slightly sweaty, but well rested from your sleep
[20:01] <Normana> whose Nacai
[20:01] <Normana> navai
[20:01] <AnionCation> no idea
[20:01] <AnionCation> Anyway
[20:01] <AnionCation> lets just go and hope it works
[20:01] <AnionCation> ==START==
[20:01] <AnionCation> You wake up from your sleep a bit sweaty, but well rested from your nap
[20:05] == Normana has changed nick to Caelia
[20:05] == Caelia has changed nick to Caelia_Pallas
[20:06] <Caelia_Pallas> I immediatly go to the restroom and wash the grime from my face.
[20:07] <Caelia_Pallas> Then I get dressed and go to my computer.
[20:07] <AnionCation> You do so, and feel quite refreshed after doing so
[20:07] <AnionCation> As you sit at your computer you notice that there are a few notifications in your notifications program
[20:07] <Caelia_Pallas> O< L3+'s s33 if sh3 m3ssag3d m3 a+ all. )
[20:08] <Caelia_Pallas> I check to see who's trying to talk to me.
[20:08] <Caelia_Pallas> Looking firstly for galileanForecaster.
[20:09] <AnionCation> You check the notifications and see that they are in fact not messages. Apparently while you slept updates had been installed, and several programs had been updated
[20:09] <Caelia_Pallas> O< Hmm, wha+ upda+3d. )
[20:10] <Caelia_Pallas> I check to see what was updated.
[20:11] <AnionCation> Esperchum appears to have had an update - The changelog states that It now supports 6 new colours! How amazing...
[20:12] <AnionCation> Your browser also has had a new update to include a new "compulsory download" scheme
[20:12] <AnionCation> It now just straight up downloads ads and runs them on your computer - The way it should be!
[20:12] <AnionCation> You are certain this will encourage you to buy more things and not find a way around the ads
[20:13] <AnionCation> Finally your antivirus program got updates
[20:13] <AnionCation> It appears to now not care about ads.
[20:14] <Caelia_Pallas> O< Wha+ +h3--- )
[20:15] <Caelia_Pallas> I am so upset by this advertisement pushing garbage that I cannot talk out loud to myself.
[20:16] <AnionCation> Thats good. Because its well known that saying ads are bad was made illegal 2 years ago, and is punishable by a 30% off voucher
[20:18] <Caelia_Pallas> I immediately open esperchum and message Felcia about this "update" problem.
[20:19] <Caelia_Pallas> AC: O< H3y F3lcia, I hop3 you'r3 3njoying your gif+s, can you con+ac+ m3. I wan+ +o s33 if you can fix +h3 "upda+3s" on +h3 compu+3r. )
[20:25] <Caelia_Pallas> AC: O< I know you wir3d i+ +o b3 off grid, bu+ som3how spam is l3aking +hrough. )
[20:30] <Caelia_Pallas> She's probably still busy running tests, she'll message you back soon enough. Solving tech problems was always fun for her.
[20:33] <AnionCation> You feel a slight draft.
[20:33] <AnionCation> It appears that there is wind.
[20:34] <AnionCation> it makes you shiver as it is fairly cold currently
[20:34] <AnionCation> Not too uncomfortably cold though.
[20:38] <Caelia_Pallas> I was fairly certain that I closed all my windows and doors, I hardly leave things open except out of necessity. I wonder where this unnatural cold could be coming from.
[20:39] <Caelia_Pallas> >Inspect surroundings for source
[20:39] <AnionCation> You inspect the surroundings and see that there are a few very small cracks in one of your walls at the joint between the wall and ceiling
[20:39] <AnionCation> You are almost certain that this will be an irrelevant factor later.
[20:42] <Caelia_Pallas> O< Hmm, mus+ b3 old, I'll d3al wi+h i+ som3 o+h3r +im3. )
[20:42] <Caelia_Pallas> I go around the outside stairs, down to the Study.
[20:43] <AnionCation> You enter the study and notice that amazingly
[20:43] <AnionCation> Interestingly
[20:43] <AnionCation> and not only that
[20:43] <AnionCation> But surprisingly
[20:43] <AnionCation> it is exactly as you expected it to be
[20:44] <Caelia_Pallas> ((Having fun?))
[20:44] <AnionCation> (a lot of it :P)
[20:45] <AnionCation> (I mean what did you expect? Its a study. Why would something be different or happen because of going into a study?)
[20:45] <Caelia_Pallas> I go to my right side table and review what important projects I'm working on. Everything is stacked as neatly as I can make it, but wow do I sure write a lot of plans.
[20:51] <AnionCation> You.. succeed at reviewing the plans?
[20:51] <Caelia_Pallas> Ah yes, the designs for hmm... Yes, oh that will have to be... Good!
[20:52] <Caelia_Pallas> I then go over to my left side table and review my latest art pieces as well as the unfinished one currently taking up most of the desk.
[20:53] <AnionCation> You succeed at intelligently contemplating the designs while hiding them from the view of anyone who might be looking
[20:53] <AnionCation> and then manage to perfectly safely sit down
[20:53] <AnionCation> :P
[20:55] <AnionCation> (It was at this moment when she realised she had nothing much to do apparently. Clearly she spends her entire day talking to friends and then admiring plans and artwork)
[20:55] <Caelia_Pallas> I go over to a work table and check out the engineering project. I don't know quite enough about robots to make this work, but GF has been giving me instructions by voice calls. I check my tablet to see if she or anyone else has messaged me.
[20:56] <AnionCation> (I won't know if someone messaged you)
[20:56] <Caelia_Pallas> (( I'll get to something better then?))
[20:56] <Caelia_Pallas> (( I thought you wanted to.. nvmnd))
[20:58] <Caelia_Pallas> Still no one, I don't feel like reading or making the long trek downstairs. If I go up to the roof I can call for HippocampDad and look over the river system.
[20:59] <Caelia_Pallas> He's always interested in preserving the waterlife, yet he seems determined not to let me get near it without flying on his back.
[21:00] <Caelia_Pallas> Sometimes I think it's just an excuse for him to snack on some overpopulated fish.
[21:05] <Caelia_Pallas> I check off my project review in my mental checklist and quickly return upstairs.
[21:05] <Caelia_Pallas> Then I climb up through the trapdoor and onto the roof, where I can just fly down if I can call my Lusus.
[21:06] <AnionCation> You stand atop your roof, and take a second as a gust of wind hits your hair and blows it behind your head
[21:06] <AnionCation> You then contemplate for a moment as you realise once again just how stunning the view is
[21:10] <Caelia_Pallas> Wow, I sure picked the right valley to build in, look at all the rolling hills and winding rivers. There's the thick forest over in the corner, looking cool and shaded to all the open ground. In the far distance in front of you are the tall and majestic purpled mountains. Behind you the rivers dilute into a long delta, on the horizon line you swear
[21:10] <Caelia_Pallas>  you see the sea.
[21:11] <Caelia_Pallas> *replace you with me and I
[21:18] <Caelia_Pallas> The whole valley is a tinged auburn as the dark blue shades of night creep over the last traces of these lighted patches.
