sixteenth bubble; text/action for pewter. BACKDATED TO THE 2ND/yesterday.

[timelymaid]

no :(
this is entirely unfair!
ive been waiting to go to the museum in pewter ever since john told me about it on day one
and then jade gave me that book for christmas
and i planned it all out so i could come and see it after all of the fossil things!
this was the plan!
to go to the museum!

this is so stupid!!

by the way the museum was robbed i guess
and now its closed
and i cant go in

kanaya will you go to mt moon with me i guess we can at least TRY to salvage this

people who rob museums are the worst

[ After sulkily lurking outside of the museum for a little while in the morning, Aradia will be drawing up a plan of attack for Mt. Moon, easily found either at the inn or on a bench outside or at a cafe somewhere. She is not the happiest of campers for once, although her mood will not last long at all. As ever she'll match whatever mode of reply she gets. ]

See? You can't think of an actual type! I think it's less to do with a "type" of person and just...what people talk about, and what interests you. Isn't that normal?

[viiru2alert]

I guess. You tell me. I don't know jack-shit about people, it was probably a mistake to put on my big ugly anthropologist hat in the first place.

[timelymaid]

I don't think people are that easy to dissect, really. They're people.

But I think that makes it fun, anyway. And I suppose it doesn't really matter? Just talk to whomever you want to talk to, Sollux. There's no need to justify that sort of thing.

[viiru2alert]

And look how far that's gotten me. [He grins darkly.] ...But this conversation is getting old. Did you figure anything out about the fossils?

[timelymaid]

You mean about the robbery?

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux is silent for a second, having heard nothing about any robbery, but then nods.] Yeah. The robbery.

[timelymaid]

Ugh.

[ While she'd gone back to being more or less okay there, she's dangerously close to irritation again. ]

They won't tell me anything! I'm just not allowed near there. And they won't say how long it's being shut down!

Who would steal fossils after so many were just dropped in our laps? What's the point?

[viiru2alert]

You gotta let the cops do their job, AA.

But that is stupid. Maybe someone wanted to... IDK, hoard them in hopes that another uprising occurs? Zombie Pokémon army.

[timelymaid]

Yes, and then they will slap a great big community service fine on the criminals, if they catch them. I don't think they ever caught the people who robbed Faulkner, you know.

[ okay a zombie army sounds cool but... ]

Hoarding them just seems a bit silly if they're going to be more commonly available. It's like...stealing dirt? I'm not sure how to explain it, it just feels sort of ridiculous to me.

[viiru2alert]

It probably is, but the culprit is probably some super-nerd who thinks that since they're more common, no one will mind that they stole the museum ones.

[s h r u g]

We just don't know.

[timelymaid]

I'm not sure about that. Thefts around here tend to be committed by one group of people entirely.

...For whatever reason. I'm not sure why this is the case.

[viiru2alert]

They just steal shit arbitrarily?

[timelymaid]

What is the point of an organization that just steals shit arbitrarily?

[ not like she minded UNTIL IT SHUT DOWN A MUSEUM.

??????? priorities. ]

[viiru2alert]

Work the black market? I don't know.

Maybe they just wanted to sell all the fossil stock they could before the price dropped due to a massive boom in fossil ownership.

[timelymaid]

I think the price already dropped by the time the whole fossil apocalypse thing happened. I can't say I know a single person who didn't catch something.

[viiru2alert]

True. Do we at least know anything about who did it?

[timelymaid]

No. I just know they stole fossils! Nothing else, except a vague notice about the museum being shut down.

[viiru2alert]

Well, in that case, I guess there's nothing to be done but wait for the people who get paid to do this shit figure it out.

[timelymaid]

Thus the travel plans. Without anything else to do...I did sign up to run a booth at the festival. So.

[ and she'll enter something/has already on the log, and poor john gets to try it. ]

[viiru2alert]

You did? What kind?

[Sollux heard nothing about this. It almost certainly has nothing to do with the fact that he's been actively avoiding her for a while now, nothing to do with that at all.]

[timelymaid]

Bake sale booth for the Breeding Centre. It's why John was teaching me to make cookies for a while there.

[viiru2alert]

Did he condemn the use of electronic mixing equipment for you too? [Once upon a time, John had tried to make waffles, and insisted on mixing the batter with a spoon instead of... you know... using the electronic mixer that was maybe four feet away. Apparently, mixing by hand is how MANLY MEN do it. But Sollux wouldn't know that because he is sooooo not a MANLY MAN.]

[timelymaid]

Oh, I guess so. I think he knows what he's talking about, though. I mean, baking seems to be something he's really good at!

[viiru2alert]

Yeah, but he also thought he was good at teleporting, and from what I hear that went kind of pear-shaped.

[timelymaid]

He says it was because I dared him to.

[ NOT THAT SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT...

BUT WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A DARE FROM ONE OF THE FLARPER QUARTET, EGBERT. ]
