[ 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.

You have a map of the palace? [ and yes, she sounds surprised and maybe vaguely jealous about that. ] How did you come across that?

You don't want to know. [Seriously. It took her a week to get the stench of the sewers out of her clothing.] But, yeah, that's what I think it is. You want to look it over sometime? I could use the eyes of a pro here.

[ well, i bet that's a good story - at least in ariadne's eyes ]

Yeah, yeah...I'd like that. I'll take any opportunity I can to try to understand what is going on with this place.

[ a beat ]

We could meet for coffee or something? [ if that is possible - she really has no idea what to expect here, but might as well take a chance. ]

Coffee's good. [It's safe.] What's your social calendar like?

[ she snorts in a faint amusement at the social calendar question, only to sigh in thought. ]

I'm usually free most evenings, so if you would like to set something up, I'd gladly make the time.

There's an all-night café in the southern tip of Fire Sector. [Her way of saying she's good for evenings.] Tomorrow night?

Yeah, I think I’ve seen that place before. [ and even if she hadn’t. she spends enough time wandering around, it shouldn’t be hard to find. ] I can probably be there sometime after six.

[ a beat ]

I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then.

Thank you.
