[cyan_maid]

Sure! But where is the Outpost?

[psych0p0mps]

about a hundred miles west of the castle :p
but if you are asking how to get to it just use the transportalizer in room 2001

[cyan_maid]

Oh! Well that certainly shortens the walk. What are you doing all the way out there?

[psych0p0mps]

its where i live silly!

[cyan_maid]

You do? Why do you live so far away, and how can you get to the castle so quickly? You always seem to be right around the corner whenever we do something.

[psych0p0mps]

that is just because i have a bad habit of using my time powers to get around absurdly fast
living out here is pretty much a matter of principle though
so that i dont have to depend on the castle for everything
its not quite self sufficient yet but i would like to get it that way someday

[cyan_maid]

Ooh, time powers. That makes sense.

Huh. You know, as much as I have had enough of the castle's tomfoolery, I never gave much thought to striking out on my own.

[fluthlu]

I could certainly use the change of scenery, if it's alright.

[psych0p0mps]

yes it is more than alright!
come to think of it rose have you ever been out here before

[fluthlu]

I haven't, as a matter of fact.
A travesty, truly - I've been meaning to for quite some time.

[psych0p0mps]

haha well we can fix that without much trouble
the transportalizer is in room 2001 whenever you feel like heading over :)

[fluthlu]

Well, in that case, I will see you in a short while.

[And she holds to that. In a little under an hour - just as long as it takes her to change into more comfortable and less beloved clothes - she heads on over.]

[psych0p0mps]

alright! see you soon

[By that time, Aradia will already be working, laying down a base coat on the wall in the two-story room the transportalizer closet opens into. Ruu the monkey is helping, sort of.

She turns when she hears Rose enter.]

Oh, hi, Rose!

Hey, I know someone looking to check out one of the outposts. How do we find you?

[psych0p0mps]

very carefully :p
no actually you just go to room 2001 and step on the transportalizer pad
who are you bringing :0

[originalcopy]

God Damn Troll.

I'm sending not bringing... her name is Natasha, says she needs some time away from the castle.

So, you just step on the thing and it sends you there huh, no passcode or anything... you're out in the dead zone right?

[psych0p0mps]

not in it but near the border
ive been meaning to add some kind of security but thats not really my strong suit
anyway yes i will look forward to seeing her!

[originalcopy]

[Sigh... security huh.]

Fine, I'll stop by and see if I can give you some ideas.

But I'm not sticking around and I'm not painting anything.

[psych0p0mps]

oh! thank you church that would actually be very helpful :0
and you dont have to paint if you dont want to

[therealrisette]

[Did someone say "decorate"? Rise can totally get behind this plan. Even if it does involve potentially messy paint.]

Sure, Aradia-chan, I'd love to help!

It's about time you added some color to the place.

[She's teasing, of course. But the outpost could seriously use some color judging from the one time she's been there.]

Can we just use that... transporter thing to get there?

[She knows she's getting the name wrong, but she can't remember the actual word. Aradia hit her with so many unfamiliar terms last time, Rise didn't exactly retain all of it...]

[psych0p0mps]

great! my thoughts exactly
and yes absolutely!
just hop onto it like that one time and you are good to go

[therealrisette]

Okay! I'm on my way, then!

[Carrying her journal, Rise starts to try making her way to Aradia's room from memory. Not the easiest thing when it's been about a month and her entire perspective is different. After a few minutes, her voice carries over the journal again.]

Hey, which room here is yours again?

[She's pretty sure it was upstairs, at least?]

[psych0p0mps]

oh its room 2001
its right off the lobby as you head into terrere tower

[therealrisette]

[That sparks enough for Rise to know where she's going.]

Okay, so I am sorta going the right way. It all looks a bit different now that I'm regular size again!

[She's getting close, so she cuts the conversation short.]

Anyway, I'll see you soon!

[And sure enough, she shows up at the outpost in just a few minutes!]

[psych0p0mps]

see you!

[Aradia's waiting in the large room from before, which looks pretty much the same except for some of the wall being covered in white primer. She turns when she hears someone come in, and waves.]

Hi, Rise!
