♈ Aradia: Take inventory. [dictated]

[psych0p0mps]

So is everybody who died in that spaceship debacle back alive and accounted for? Except for Vriska and Nepeta, I mean, since either they are taking their sweet time about it or they're dead for real... Did anybody take inventory of the bodies or anything? I'm not even sure how many people died.

Also, I'd been meaning to ask about this for a while, but does anybody have experience hooking up and/or maintaining advanced power systems? The outpost has been running on this awful backup generator for a while, so I'd like to get the main one hooked back up again.

[Oh boy power generators. This is a bit of a sore spot for him.]

...What happened to the old one?

[fluthlu]

... Neither of them have returned, then?

[psych0p0mps]

I had it kind of jury-rigged before, and part of the room caught fire in the earthquake. It's cleaned up now, but I've been hesitant to try hooking things back up in there. Electric systems are really not my area of expertise.

[psych0p0mps]

Not as far as I know, no. I've been checking the stasis tubes nightly, but there hasn't been any change.

[fluthlu]

All of the others have woken up by now, yes?

[psych0p0mps]

I think so, I haven't seen any other bodies lying around. I want to make sure, though.

[toobravehearted]

I was told once that headstones were erected, I'm presuming by Paradisa itself. The graveyard, Aradia. That might tell you.

What happened at the outpost? I could take a look at it for you if you like? I tend to be handy in those sorts of things.

[cyan_maid]

Their bodies are okay, right? I...I think I might like to visit them.

[psych0p0mps]

[brightly] Oh, right! I can't believe I forgot about that. Thanks, Doctor.

Heheh, I thought you might be. Back when I built the place I salvaged the power source from the old outpost, but electrical systems aren't exactly my area of expertise, so it was kind of jury-rigged for a while. And then when the earthquake hit it sort of caught fire. I didn't want to try hooking it up myself again after that.

[psych0p0mps]

Yeah, they're fine. They've been frozen the whole time. They're down here in the basement, whenever you want. [THEY AIN'T GOIN' ANYWHERE]

[cyan_maid]

I'll have to get down there, then. [What a great trait of dead bodies. Usually, they don't move.]

[strangewonders]

A friend of mine is taking his sweet time in resurrecting himself. I'm really rather cross about it.

[toobravehearted]

[Umm...] You're welcome. I think. I could take you down if you were interested in a walk. I've not looked myself yet, though. [And he doesn't know his Granddaughter's headstone or his own is there, wouldn't that be interesting!]

[Smile in his voice.] You built the outpost yourself, I think I'm impressed. Sort of caught fire is like saying there was sort of an earthquake. You're very wise not to Aradia, I'm sure I don't need to tell you electricity can be dangerous. I'm free now if you would like me to take a look.

[psych0p0mps]

Oh? Who's your friend?

[whistles_the_blues]

Not exactly mine either, but I do know a thing or two about them. I suppose I could take a look.

[psych0p0mps]

Thank you. [for both the compliment and the offer!] Where do you want to go first, the graveyard or the outpost?

[psych0p0mps]

Thanks! Do you know how to get here?

[whistles_the_blues]

Can't say that I do.

[psych0p0mps]

It's easy. From the lobby, head to Terrere Tower, go into room 2001 and step on the transportalizer pad.

[whistles_the_blues]

Transportalizer? Does it work with machines?

[psych0p0mps]

It works with pretty much anything that'll fit on it. Are you bringing something?

[p sure she hasn't talked to him enough to know he's a robut.]

[whistles_the_blues]

No, just myself. I'll be there in a moment then.

[It's not exactly a secret anyways.

And bam. You now have a robot with ridiculous hair in your outpost.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Sweeeet. You can never have too many crazy haired robots!

Aradia is waiting at the outpost's transportalizer, and waves as he appearifies in. It's in a small room, unadorned except for the flickering light fixture overhead.]

Hello! So you're a robot?

[Yes Aradia that is exactly how you start a conversation good job]

[whistles_the_blues]

[the flickering light is a sure sign that this place has some power issues.

He simply nods back to Aradia after her astute observation.]

I am. I've seen a few others like you before.

[He's hung out with Vriska before, but never cared to ask what exactly she was. ...and still doesn't]

[psych0p0mps]

[She's a HUGE 8ITCH is what oooooh :D]

Oh, trolls, you mean? Yeah, there's a few of us around. [She turns to the door and motions for him to follow.] The power core's this way.
