[ On pops the feed, showing one smiling and somewhat eager, Ariadne. And as always, she has been thinking (a lot) and has a few things she would like to talk about with everyone.

So… please enjoy? ]

I know that some of you are already aware of this fact – but, back home in Paris, I'm an Architect. [ a damn good one in her opinion, which, yes, only seems to cause a smug smile to start to tug at the corner of her mouth. ] And, well… given the apparent state of the Turtle as of late. I’m willing to have a look at any structural elements you might be concerned with.

[ a shrug of her shoulder and she is adding: ] There is nothing of major concern right now that I'm seeing. But… there have been a few things that have caught my attention. So just let me know if you would like to have me or even my friend from home look at anything for you.

[ a long beat and she is moving on to her next topic. ]

Also, Stephanie mentioned something to me, about a few of us trying to start a Foreigner ran Committee a while back. [ and this is where her expression turns a bit more eager (she really likes this idea, okay?) ] I really like this idea, and I'm hoping that we can maybe get the ball rolling on it?

After all, it might be a good way for us all to work together, and perhaps hopefully ensure that our voices are heard.

[ because lets face it, half of the "foreigners" aren't exactly use to living under a ruler and want to make sure their voices are heard. ]

I think that might be it for now. [ which only has her furrowing her brow in thought (gotta make sure after all) before she is sighing and smiling faintly. ] I know this whole ration thing is going to be interesting, but if you do need help with something, don't hesitate to ask.

Yeah, one of my friends that recently arrived is an architect as well.

[ though, she would like to think: SHE IS THE BETTER ARCHITECT. ]

You should talk to him.

What's his name?

Cobb. [ a beat ] Dominick Cobb.

I'll keep an eye out for him.

You should. [ she smiles a bit with a nod. ] I'm sure Cobb could use a few more friends to talk to around here. And I know he would love to talk shop if given the chance.

Did you go to school with him? [Far from being nosy or suspicious, it's a rational train of thought, given what she knows of Ariadne's academics.]

[ hey, she can appreciate the nosy questions - she does it herself. ]

No, we worked together. [ a beat, and she is adding with a faint smile. ] I was actually introduced to him through my professor in Paris.

[ which is the honest truth there. ]

[A nod.] That's pretty cool. Maybe the Emperor really needed architects here. [It's half a joke, since that brings the number up to three as far as she's aware.]

[ a faint laugh slips out of her at that, as she just nods in agreement. ]

You can never have too many architects. [ granted, she really isn't sure if that is a good thing or not - with the whole dreaming thing, that is. ]

I'm sure between the three of us; we might be able to help fix this place up too.

[She grins a little.] SO long as their ideas don't clash too much.

Eshai doesn't seem all that interested in our potential help for that sort of thing.

[ there's a small pause at that, as she her brow furrows in thought. ]

Do you every wonder why that is the case?

Because this place clearly is in need of some help. [ at least in her opinion ]

She might not want to rely on us more than she already has to. With regards to the apparent threat, I mean.

Maybe… [ It’s an idea. But one she isn't sure she is going to put too much though on - this is a dream after all, right? ]

Some type of understanding would be nice though, I guess.

[There's something in that tone that makes Annabeth frown a little, but she doesn't bring it up.]

We can keep trying, I guess.
