[ 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.

Mr. Way... [ a beat, quickly correcting herself. ] Bruce.

I'm sure we can work something out - maybe over coffee sometime? [ which only has her smiling a bit brighter, as she nods in understanding. ]

And yeah, Stephanie mentioned a bit about some of you trying to start it before. [ and she can only wonder why it didn't get off the ground at the time. ] Do you see any issue with it hopefully starting now?

Coffee is certainly agreeable, if rations allow. How did you fare with those maps I gave you, by the way? I've been meaning to ask.

[He gives a sort of helpless shrug meant to intimate exactly how busy he is.]

No, but that doesn't mean much. I don't have much of a head for politics, personally, even if I can see the value in their use.

The Maps? [ she smiles a bit brighter at that, nodding her head at her thoughts ] They’ve been a help – I’m slowly starting to piece together the layout here. [ granted, she really was hoping to figure out the pattern that the architect was using for the dream, and that hasn't seemed to have happened yet. ]

Thank you again for those by the way.

[ a beat and she is adding with a small shrug of her shoulders. ]

Even if we don't get anywhere with the government, it might be good for us as outsiders, to finally start working together.

[He waves a hand - not in dismissal of her thanks, but to downplay the need for appreciation.]

Happy to help. You're welcome to whatever resources I've accrued if you need them.

I agree, but it's a little like herding cats. There are a lot of strong-willed people here who I don't think appreciate the idea of cooperation.

[cough himself cough]

You’ll have to tell me your secret to obtaining all that you do. [ which only has her laughing faintly, as she really doesn’t assume that would happen. ]

And strong-willed or not, we really do need to find a way to be better organized.

[ seriously, she is the most stubborn of folks, but she is willing to try here – if it gets her some type of understanding to what the hell is going on in this dream. ]

I get that people may not be apt to things like this, but there really are benefits if we just find a way to show them that.

[His smile is positively devilmaycare.]

Frankly? I pay other people to obtain it for me.

[Said with all the panache of a true billionaire.]

Do you mind if I take a crack at it, then? I've been here a little longer, I think it's safe to say I have more of a foothold in the local community.

[ she laughs faintly, rolling her eyes with some type of amusement (of course he likes people doing things for him) ]

Personally...I'd appreciate it if you did. I can gladly get things done when I need to, but I'm not always the best at networking.

[ or she would rather not have to worry about upsetting projections more than she was already. ]

Keep me in the loop though - I want to help where I can.

Of course, Ariadne. Happy to help.
