LIVE: lobbying for change

[weenwoon]

Who: Levity, Ren and you
Where: T H E L O B B Y
When: 385, 386, cosmically it's all the same

[Hey guys, so do you remember that the lobby is still mid-renovation? FiN are hard at work (whenever they feel like it, that is), and if you've seen them carrying around robosnakes, cannons or Mysterious And Suspicious Devices, well, don't worry about it.

Or maybe do worry about it, because today it's time for lobby-themed Live! IN the lobby! Levity has set up the usual whiteboard for the sake of presentation.]

Hello, everyone! I'm sure you've noticed we're still working hard to repair the lobby, but now that the basics are mostly done... Well, we thought - why not add some things to make the lobby more comfortable? And useful? My unit has got some ideas already, and I would be happy to present those, but the lobby is for everyone! To this end, I've enlisted dear Ren's help with gathering your opinions.

[With that, he bows towards Ren, giving her the word to explain her part of the Live.]

Thank you! It's fairly straight forward. What we're looking for is everyone's opinions on what should be added to the lobby. I'm taking a poll here to see what everyone's thoughts are. If you have none, that is perfectly fine as well!

[Ren smiles holding up a clipboard she's using to take notes for Levity]

We really appreciate everyone's input.

((OOC: joint future is now and pep!pep! Live! 450 points for peps and fins, 300 for everyone else I think. I'm doing my best and I'm not smart.))

Giant bean bags!

[weenwoon]

[holy SHIT]

Oh, I love that one! How giant?

[featherbeaned]

Big enough for three Hardys to get comfy at least.

[weenwoon]

[... /// what if he could cuddle the boyfriend in the lobby, kya how scandalous]

That does sound really good! We're definitely adding it!

[featherbeaned]

D'you want points? I can donate some points.

[weenwoon]

Oh, I think we're actually doing well on points. But I would love help with picking out the designs! We need to think about how the lobby is going to look too, right?

[featherbeaned]

Well, if they're bean bags for cuddling on, they've gotta be cloud-themed, right?

[weenwoon]

Oh - that would be really cute! And maybe more nature-themed things in genearl?

[featherbeaned]

[ claps her hands! ]

Yes! Yes, good idea. Like, hm. What about trees for climbing up and perching on, for people who like heights?

[ For her, she means. She wants them for her. ]

[weenwoon]

[That's adorable, though.]

Oh, that's a great idea! And it can work for those who are restless, or just want to avoid people for a bit.

[It's important to provide your idols with enough enrichment.]

[featherbeaned]

There's bunches of people who'd prob'ly like something like that when fanmail comes. Or for memories!

[weenwoon]

[Pauses... that does sound like something Five might enjoy, an opportunity to both be around people and have some privacy at the same time.]

I can think of at least one person who would probably get some use out of it! Let's make it happen. Do you want to be the designer for this?

[quickpersuader]

I heard that a defense system was planned to be added. Is that still in the works?

[weenwoon]

Very much so! But we would still appreciate input and ideas. Particularly for negating unit abilities and such.

[quickpersuader]

Negating to what degree?

[weenwoon]

[Completely, actually. Fin are your new overlords.]

Enough that they can't be used to inflict mass damage. Or, well... We can't negate abilities themselves, not without much deeper research, but we can have countermeasures for their effects. For example, ZRAEL can leave an area in total darkness, but that can be solved by using fluorescent paint.

[quickpersuader]

That could be difficult. Presumably, any system you put into place would still leave the lobby vulnerable to future is now abilities, wouldn't it?

[weenwoon]

Technically yes, but I'm sure Bell will come up with something. Besides, our abilities can be counteracted by others on our unit, or in some cases simply by others!

But I suppose we could add something like... sleeping gas?

[quickpersuader]

Or the system would need to be engineered from materials other than metal. Plastic or stone mechanisms, for example. That way it would be resistant to both future is now and pep tampering.

[weenwoon]

Perhaps, but those would need to be made by hand, then... and take a much longer time.

[quickpersuader]

If it's a defense system for the whole lobby, you could probably enlist helping hands from any unit. That would also give them the opportunity to voice any suggestions or concerns about the system in the first place.
