Bulding Site II.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti is in the half-finished staff quarters again.

He's been conjuring things for quite a while now: wallpaper, paint, glue, doorknobs, tiles, washbasins, rolled-up carpeting, DIY floowboards, what have you, he's busy making it.

And a few cardboard packages of purportedly easy-to-build kitchen cabinets, for those of the staff who get their own small kitchens in their quarters.

He's got a tan bathtub and nice, fiddly brown-and-green mosaic tiling already secreted away, set aside for Gil's future bathroom.

The place is busy; people are bustling about, demanding more of this or that, asking each other how something works, and lending each other hands, arms and other body parts for the more arduous tasks.

The goal of finishing this weekend looks quite realistic.

[[OOC: This is the second of the building site posts that I'd suggested; if your character volunteered to help or just likes to lend a hand, come on in - fly-by posts to establish your pup was there, long chats and brief interludes all equally welcome!]]

"Okay, I will do that - if he or that Indy person show up beforehand, we could get them to work here so I get to know them. Is Indy male or female, by the way?"

Well, you need to know what you are looking for, do you?

*Raph blinks.*

Indy...Indiana Jones is a guy. Fedora hat...uh...scruffy lookin'? Any of this ringin' a bell.

"Indiana?? And a man? I thought that was a place, somewhere in the wilderness of the same Earth continent that New Orleans is on, but if it's not a place, it would have to be a woman's name. But you never know with names, of course. And no, I don't remember ever noticing him."

Of course, Asar-Suti wouldn't recognise a Fedora hat if one were pulled right over his eyes.

[mnt_raph]

Well, it is the name of a place.
*Raph smirks*
It's also the name of a dog, and in this case, a man. Just, you know...don't say anything to him about it. He's touchy when it comes to his name. I keep forgetting that not everyone'll know everyone here. He's sort of this hero where I'm from.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"A hero - are there stories about him?"

Asar-Suti senses a tail-end of the theory Esk and he had been entertaining, and fastens upon it.

[mnt_raph]

*Raph raises an eyebrow*

There might be, yeah.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"No, tell me - what makes him a hero?"

Asar-Suti is rather persistent.

[mnt_raph]

'Cause he fights the good fights, but he's not always a good guy about it. An' who he fights is like the one group everyone where I'm from can get behind hating.

"Oh - I didn't know that there were continuously evil people on most Earths; but perhaps there are on yours? Are they anything like orcs?"

Proper villains that are accepted as villainous by all are mostly confined to High fantasy worlds, aren't they? But then, some Earth versions are rather fantastic.

[mnt_raph]

Evil's sort of a perspective thing. It's just most everyone agrees that they're evil. They're the sort that exterminate folk for arbitrary reasons. So when bad things happen to them...like when they get pushed into an an airplane propellor, we don't feel bad for them.

But they're not like...orks, in that they're not born evil. They choose to be. It's different. Is this makin' sense?

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Not completely - they chose to be evil and band together in groups in order to be evil together?"

Exterminate folk for arbitrary reasons - well, at least his Ihlini killed for strategic reasons, but some things were undeniably overkill, Asar-Suti thinks, especially the attack on Clankeep which may or may not have killed that warrior, Fionntan...

Really? I gotta be honest, I didn't get past the prologue of that book.
