hey, fellow prisoners! or should i say guests? having some trouble with the technical definitions lately.

i need some help. personal reasons. it's more of a crafts project, and i don't have anything to trade any of you - all the good shit i had are currently confiscated, sorry about that. anyway, here's the list of things i'm looking for:

- 1 box condoms
- 1 roll copper wire
- 2 metal files (1 long, 1 short)
- 1 roll electrical tape
- 1 liter acrylic paint, any color
- 1 car battery
- 1 telepath
- 1 roll fairy lights

if anyone can point me in the right direction, or if anyone's willing to help pull this together, i'll owe you something. we can negotiate.

[TETORA WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR CONDOMS?!?]

I don't think any of the telepaths have abilities functioning at the moment. Most anyone who had anything special is compromised.

[nishizono]

[ it's his way of coping, leave him be!!! ]

that's exactly why. any other superpower and you'd only figure out it's been limited after you've tried to hit your previous averages, right? but telepathy's an on-off thing - it's there or it isn't.

i wanna ask just how far the not-there part has gotten.

[warandpeace]

Good point.

I guess we'll figure it out.

I do think there are buckets of paint around the construction site, but I've not seen any for arts and crafts.

[nishizono]

acrylic is flammable
not that it's gonna be much of a fire, even if it's gonna stink
but it's the thought that counts

how's the pet project? dino housebroken yet?

New wire?

[ If not, Maine's got a lot collected. ]

[nishizono]

doesn't have to be. i just need enough to set up the lights.

[ in for a lying penny, in for a secret dollar, as they say. ]

[bloodbathing]

Length?

[ Maine's not questioning it. He dug the shit out of the walls; might as well put it to use. ]

[nishizono]

as much as you can spare me, if that's okay?

[ seeing as it's for something a lot more sinister than a light show, and all. ]

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

modern art project?

[nishizono]

performance art. with fire and shit.
it's basically a light show and i'm out of things to do, so voila.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

wow sounds fancy

[and potentially dangerous]

and to think some people were complaining about boredom

need a hand

[squadgoals]

[???]

[squadgoals]

No.

[nishizono]

no what?
what???

[nicearsenal]

Someone's got big plans for a school night.

[nishizono]

i'm properly homeschooled, thanks
could use some help if you're interested

[nicearsenal]

With what? That's a pretty eclectic shopping list you've got there.

[shashka]

[ ...well. ]

I'd avoid the condoms.

[ this is really not a good place for sex. ]

[nishizono]

they're not for me, they're for someone else.

[ it's for the half-metal bear that left him on the roof, actually. ]

can you help with the other items on the list?

[shashka]

Have you tried checking the cargo shipments?

There's really not all that much around as it is. It's not like anyone could smuggle anything in.

[ he'd have done it if he could. ]

not here

[prorenataa]

[ He briefly considers a fuck.

Mostly due to the roll of fairy lights.

But ... nah.

Turns off the device, rolls over and goes back to sleep. ]

[nishizono]

[ this is so rude he thought you were a friend

get the fuck up ]

[petridish]

What are fairy lights?

[and what... is a fairy.]

[nishizono]

christmas lights
you know, tiny little useless bulbs strung together to poorly imitate fireflies

they're nice to look at, i guess

you don't have christmas where you're from?

[petridish]

Ah.

I think there is - there was a movie about [a jellyfish special agent] saving it - but I never really learned about it.
