[ hey all you projections (people that were kidnapped from their home worlds) ariadne has been thinking (not a shock there) and she has a few things she would like to ask.

so please enjoy. ]

Zombies… well that was interesting. [ her sarcasm can be oh so fun at times. ] I didn't really think 'night of the living dead' would be something that a turtle and some random world would be capable of.

[ she just sighs, rolling her eyes slightly as she moves on to the actual point of this post. ]

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a map of this place – something they could share. [ a short pause, her brow arching in a hopeful curiosity. ] Given that this place really is unknown to so many of us, I thought it might be a good idea to have something like that to refer back to when a situation like the last arose.

[ not that she wanted one to happen like that again (she really isn't cut out for fighting zombies after all) it just seemed like a good idea for location understanding, as well as planning. ]

Also, I'm wondering if there is a system set up for us all to communicate in times of crisis – an emergency broadcast system of sorts. A way for us all to know what we need to do if anything ever happens. [ yes, she is well aware that people have the network, and that they are all doing what they can to help, but she really just wants to see how all the projections organize here. ]

So that's about all I have for now.

[ a long shrug, her nose crinkling as she offers the screen a faint smile. ]

I know I may not know as much as I could about this place, but I'm trying to learn what I can and would really appreciate any help I could get here.

Thanks.

You've been thinking. [ There's nothing harsh at it--just a fondness. Perhaps a little mentor approval? ]

[ she is rolling her eyes, somewhat amused at you, cobb. ]

Well I figured it was about time I started trying to get solid answers here.

[ not that it would do much, but at least she thought it was worth a shot. ]

You surprised?

[squint]

No. Not at all. [ Proud. But he doesn't say it. ]

How you settling in?

[ she has to ask. she has after all tried to give you space - even if you are her neighbor. ]

[ Horribly. He can't sleep. Doesn't trust a damn thing. But more importantly, he's terrified he'll find Mal. ]

Pretty well.

[build]

Uh huh... [ a small sound in thought escapes her at that - she doesn't buy your bullshit, cobb. ]

Have you and Arthur been able to talk?

[ have you told him what happened? ]

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

[ Nope and nope, so Cobb dusts it off. ]

Any leads?

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

Nothing more than what we had before.

[ she just sighs, long and frustrated. ]

How are you sleeping?

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

Fine.

audio | brrmm locks

[ ... ]

And Mal?

[squint]

[ Though Ariadne can't see it, he leans back in his chair. If she's careful, she can hear a sigh. ]

I haven't seen her, no.

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

[ she catches his sigh, only sighing herself in response to it. ]

I'm glad. [ and she means it. she has faith in him here and wants to believe that he has moved on with it. ]

I wouldn't want you to have to go back to how things were.

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

It won't. [ It's flat. Focused. And pretty damn curt, too. ]

[ she just sighs, shaking her head at his tone. she's not going to push - not now - not unless she sees a reason to.

so instead, she just speaks calmly. ]

Did you and Arthur want to come over for dinner and take a look at the maps?

audio | brrmm locks

[aloadeddie]

[Why yes, yes Arthur has been creeping on this conversation. Like usual.]

Do you want me to cook again? [He sounds vaguely amused.]

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

[ GOD, you are such a creeper, Arthur. (good thing she doesn't care) ]

Of course... [ she laughs faintly at that, knowing she is just assuming he will be fine with it. ] Will the stuff in my fridge be okay, or do you need me to go shopping?

audio | brrmm locks

[aloadeddie]

Depends on what you have in your fridge. I'm not a miracle worker. [Sigh he's just always being conscripted into stuff.]

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

[ she is just going to roll her eyes, letting a faint sound of mock annoyance out with that. god arthur, why haven't you creeped on her fridge yet? ]

I don't know - a few things. [ a beat ] Do you want me to cook?

audio | brrmm locks

[aloadeddie]

We could always make it a group effort. [SEE, Arthur has ideas sometimes.]

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

I suppose we can do that.

Though you do realize that our personalities tend to lean towards controlling, so it might be a feat? [ she is joking of course. she has no issue with helping, and she was going to help with it all before he even mentioned it. ]

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

[ That actually sounds like a fantastic idea. ]

Sounds like a plan.

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

[ HEY, she has been known to have them. ]

Good. I'm glad. It will be good for us. I've already got my hands on a few copies of the land, so we can at least get a better feel for things then.

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

If nothing it'll give us something to do. [ But he's hoping for more. A decent layout of the place would be good--damn good. ]

audio | brrmm locks

[build]

Yeah... [ she sighs, her voice going somewhat quiet ] If anything else comes up, I'll let you know.

So far there isn't anything new.

audio | brrmm locks

[squint]

Not yet. [ Reminder to keep looking. Also, trying to be optimistic WHAT IS THIS ]
