two 🦇 #F6DB2C

[batsuits]

[ hi, it's bruce. he has this horrible color and is being nosy again. ]

Two questions.

1) Of the items received and brought back from most recent events, has anyone gained something that can be used for the whole town? Things such as seeds, bandages, medicine, etc. It might be worthwhile to throw together a resource pool if it hasn't been done so already.

2) If you could pick something at all from home that would help you get through the day here, what would it be? A type of food, clothing you prefer, your favorite flower. Things like that. If you're comfortable with sharing, I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Fair enough. They're all very enjoyable.

Is there anything else you enjoy like ramen?

[batsuits]

"Pre-orbal"?

[ bruce is there if you need help building something, joshua. it's bruce. he's always up for building shit. ]

1. I have a crate of cucumbers. So now we also have cucumber seeds.

2. Cold soba.

[batsuits]

Alcohol? I didn't take you for the type. Unless you mean to use it for the medicinal aspect.

I would be more than happy to help you grow the beans, if you'd like to try doing so together.

It would require some diligence and to keep up with what colors are available. I understand how that would be unappealing when you're already up to so much. Perhaps we'll be able to acquire paint another way.

[ or bruce is just going to fucking do that too, apparently. god damnit, bruce. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

we're thinking of handing it over to yosano-san. after all, she's a doctor!

i'm not sure there's any kind of ct scanners besides the kind that were used to scan our brains back home? or if there are i don't know about them. ecms i guess only exist where i come from? it's short for esper counter measure. they're machines that emit waves that cancel out psychic waves making so espers can't use their powers.

i miss pizza....i'm not sure i even remember what they taste like anymore... TTnTT

but you know. even if it wasn't practical having some things that are only here to make us feel better isn't a bad thing. it's why everyone is so happy to have food that has colour, right?

Orbal energy is the main source of power we use in Zemuria. There was a big surge in technological development once it was perfected; I've gotten the impression that the best comparison to something most people here know would be electricity.

[ HELP HIM BRUCE he is a fount of weird shady knowledge but building a plumbing system from scratch is certainly going to be a new experience. ]

[batsuits]

It sure does.

What are you doing with her milk?

[ color ]

I brought back a goat that should be able to provide milk in a couple of months.

[ It's a big goat even if it is still young and he isn't some superpowered alien. ]

Books. As nice as the collection of fairy tales is to pass the time, I wouldn't mind something with more fact than fiction.

[asano_san]

And I thought it was a wishlist.

[bittybat]

Refilling Jon's bottle because he's a toddler.

[extrapolating]

I'm not. I've never had any before, but since it was there, it was the most interesting thing to take. Anything else wouldn't have lasted as long.

[ Since the only other thing she'd even consider would be junk food, and that's just as good for her to have just say in the bay and eaten. So. Absinthe it was. ]

I'd love to! I grew some plants, but obviously never outside. I can't imagine it's really the same at all, so I'd love to learn.

I wouldn't mind that, necessarily, but it's more finding things that are a good enough pigment to actually use in paint. I might be being picky, though. It wouldn't be too terrible for the colors to degrade because the pigment doesn't really work, since it's really just painting for the sake of painting...

[doublecrowss]

Well, I suppose there's a measure of emotional attachment to it, but I do believe coffee is rather useful, either as an energy boost or just as a warm drink to help you relax. It's valuable, in its own way.

A common theme, is it? With such varied people from all walks of life, and even different realities altogether, I would find that unlikely. Although now I suppose my own curiosity is getting the best of me...

[ Admittedly, he's more curious about Bruce himself than this common theme bullshit. Come on, bat dad, like it wouldn't be suspicious if stuff people mentioned in this post just!! mysteriously!! started!! showing up!! ]

[batsuits]

Do you need help planting them or have you taken care of that?

What type of soba? Ju-wari or Hachi-wari?

[swordfucker]

[He's doing SECRET SCIENCE, in fact. No one needs to know he experiments on himself.]

I've tested them all already. Any time a new one pops up or is found, I've got that handled too. No need to worry.

[batsuits]

I'll contact her and give her what I have as well then. Do you know her hex color?

That's what I thought of when you said CT scanner but I can't imagine what the use of it would be here. We don't even have electricity. I don't understand the use for the ECM would be either, even with the explanation. Those are things that would make you feel better though? Why?

Hopefully you'll be able to have pizza again soon.

Yes, that's why. Food with color has flavor while the food that doesn't have flavor. Don't you eat the food?

[batsuits]

Interesting. I can only imagine what some of the technology in your books might be then. What are you thinking of using here?

[ HE... WILL... GOD, PLEASE DON'T MESS UP THE PLUMBING, JOSHUA. LET BATMAN HELP YOU. ]

[batsuits]

My son and I have a cow, if you're looking for milk as well. The goat should be a great help though.

Have you talked to Joshua? He has some books on technology from his original world. What other things are you looking for?

[batsuits]

It is. I'm just also a practical man. I wanted to offer what I could think of that came close. Have I offended you?

[batsuits]

Glass houses, Damian. Have you been drinking enough milk?

[ remember, you're the short one and jon grew up on a farm ]

[glaciers]

They've already been planted. Now it's just waiting.

Hachi-wari. Have you had a lot of soba?

[whereabout]

Guren and I were talking about running water, which...I've fixed a lot of things but that one will be completely new.

[batsuits]

That makes a lot of sense, I would have made the same choice. If you would like someone to be there when you try some, I'd be happy to chaperone but I understand if you'd rather do so with friends.

There's a different process when you're planting to farm and garden rather than for pleasure, it requires a bit more attentiveness. I can help you out with that.

You could think of it as practice until more colors are introduced to the town. Then what you won't waste any paint in the future that you may really want to use.

[asano_san]

I'm not offended. I'm just bored.

Thanks for trying.

[queenofminiskirts]

no. but i think she posted before so we can probably find it if we tried.

because i'm an esper and not to brag but a pretty strong one too! but that means head injuries can be a problem. and if i catch a cold and get a fever it also affects my control over my powers. i'd just rather not hurt anyone with my powers by accident.

[Also, you know. If she's ever in a situation where her powers go at full blast for twenty minutes she will explode and take a 15km radius out with her.]

it was something i was worried about before. but i got a spare limiter! and i know guren-san can at least absorb some of my power with that sword of his in an emergency. so it's not as big a deal now. and there's someone who can check me for head injuries and they don't need to be plugged into on outlet! so we've sort of worked out a system for now!

[It'd just still be nice to have those things but at this point she's pretty much resigned herself to the fact that it wasn't going to happen.]

i do. but like, eating the colourless food doesn't hurt us besides emotionally, right? but the first time i had an orange that actually tasted like something here i was so touched i could have cried and i've definitely felt happier and more energetic knowing that i can eat things that actually taste good.

[batsuits]

It's definitely something for pleasure. Is it coffee beans or coffee grounds that you both brought?

And yet, a lot of people miss foods for the most part. Humans tend to gather around food, it's a way of bringing community and family together. Even you, with your coffee. Emotional attachment. I wouldn't say we're all very different from one another at all.

[ it would be so weird!! and definitely not related to this post!! AT ALL. ]
