post office, sewing, and sauna oh my! [open/closed to cain]

[hegantha]

Characters: Amberley and YOU. The last prompt is closed to Ciaphas though.
Setting: Floor 51, 87, and finally 77
Format: Whatever's fine!
Summary: Amberley sets off to sew some new dresses, writes some cute mail for friends, and then finally meets up with Ciaphas so she can boss him around.
Warnings: Open threads should be really tame. The closed thread will involve a lot of eye banging and swearing, most likely.

Floor 51

[ After speaking with Chloe, Amberley realizes that a hobby is something she needs. Granted, she has been spending a lot of time exploring, but that was getting old and stale now that she had gone through the new rooms and the old. Though, she can't imagine doing something that wasn't at least somewhat productive, so she set off to the sewing room. Amberley only came in with one silky dress, and she wanted at least a few more.

With a few failed attempts thrown around her chair, you can see that she's getting the hang of it... kind of? Her most recent attempt, which is just 'alright' doesn't conform to her body, but it's at least wearable without looking completely horrible.

Also, you may or may not notice the Mannequin she kicked down for trying to steal her sewing kit. ]


Floor 87

[ Amberley also wanted to begin using the mailbox system. She had never used mail written on paper, and while it seemed very archaic to her, she still really wanted to try! She managed to swipe some markers and different colors, and she writes in elegant words on sheets of paper she found lying around inside the mail room. She just hoped that everyone here reads Gothic... ]

[ooc: gothic is basically english in the 40k world. ]


Floor 77 | Closed to Ciaphas Cain

[ After telling Ciaphas to meet her here, she waited in the shared locker room. After discovering this room, she had been interested in the lockers, but not enough to reveal the contents she was hiding in there to anyone else. Ciaphas would be the perfect person to make sure that her contents were secure.

She particularly liked this new floor because it was mostly empty, quiet, and rather relaxing. It was a good way to get Ciaphas alone and finally relay information she's been meaning to, but couldn't because of listening ears. Plus, it'll be nice to complain for once, because she doesn't really do that opening up to people thing that others in the tower might have done. ]

Floor 87

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko, having sent a small letter to MOMO, kept on walking up the Tower, wanting to explore and familize herself with the new floors. While the red poppy field made her sleepy, she had read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She knew what would happy if she settled down for a nap. However, she noticed Amberly writing on a few sheets of paper. Not one to just ignore a friend, Tohko walked up to her with a smile on her face.]

Good morning! Who are you writing to?

[hegantha]

Everyone I've met here! This is such a cute idea, writing letters, I can't wait to mail them all!

[ She's like a kid in a candy store. There's even one in here for you, Tohko, but you're not allowed to read it yet! ]

[tohko_amano]

[Aw..let her read it soon!~ Tohko loves letters.

At that comment, she smiled and chuckled a little.]

Writing, sending, and getting letters is a lot of fun! It's a bit old-fashioned where I'm from, but it's still great. I'm guessing that they didn't have a mail system like this where you're from?

[hegantha]

Not at all. Everything was just sent on data slates.

But dataslates can't do this!

[ She draws a big pink heart on a piece of paper and holds it up ]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko smiled at the heart. Seeing people getting enthusiastic about writing and drawing was wonderful, in her opinion!]

That's great! It's wonderful to see people who like writing and drawing!

[But mostly writing.]

But..what are data slates? We didn't have those in my universe.

[hegantha]

Oh, they're these thin pieces of technology that kind of look like this paper, but with a screen instead. Everyone just uses those since mail like this would be kind of a pain considering how many planets the Imperium owns.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko nodded at that, burning the information onto her brain.]

Ah, alright then. I guess that would be a pain if you have to do a lot of paperwork..but it's a shame that letters like these aren't common where you're from.

[hegantha]

At least I can take advantage of it right now!

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko chuckled.]

That's true! Hopefully you'll get a few pen pals and exchange quite a few letters!

[hegantha]

I hope I do! That'd make for something to do around here.

[tohko_amano]

Yup! And I bet it would be more fun than killing or running away from monsters or dealing with whatever else the Administrators decide to throw at us.

[hegantha]

[ Depends on your definition of fun. ]

Certainly! Though we'll have to deal with those things sooner or later, it's nice to get a break.

[tohko_amano]

[That's true. Tohko's definition did not involve fighting people.]

Right..I understand. I've had to fight a couple of times in this Tower too..but there's nothing better than just reading a few books in the library.

[And eating them.]
