heyy adora! this is lottie. we met at that party? 😄
just wanted to ask since i'm suuper curious

have you figured out hot water yet??

[swordsense]

Hey Lottie.
Hot water?
You mean have I figured out how to make it happen? Or...

[oomfies]

sorryyy

i should've been a little more specific! lol
but yeah!! that's what i meant

[swordsense]

I mean, I just made a fire and boiled some to bathe with.

I think if we want hot water and upgrades, we have to do more on that card.

[oomfies]

i mean maybe.. but w/ how many of us are here
i'm a firm believer that SOMEONE knows plumbing!

right? the chances at least have to be a little high!

[swordsense]

It's possible.
Unfortunately, not for me. I don't know how to fix pipes and stuff.

It's a shame that Entrapta isn't here.
She'd be able to do something, but me and Catra aren't really good with technology at all.

[oomfies]

i mean.. i think we're all pretty much at the same level of not really good
i've never seen a bracelet like this before that wasn't just for
idk recording my heart beat or smth

[swordsense]

I've seen stuff like this, but only in First Ones ruins, or on Horde Prime's ship (he's a bad guy).

I just don't get machines.
But uh. Maybe you and I can figure out how to make hot water happen if we yell at a robot?

[oomfies]

tbh i think it'd just give us another furniture kit if we did that!
do you think there's like leftover tools anywhere?
like wrenches... screw drivers.. etc

we can just get some of those and mess w/ the pipes!

text, un: annette; after the fog event but before inauspicious tides

[overannchiever]

[ it's totally not awkward at all, texting someone you sort of kind of boned while missing parts of yourself. nope, not at all. ]

Hey, She-Ra!

[ off to a good start ]

How have you been?
Pretty terrible weather we've been having, huh?

[ yep....nailed it........... ]

text, un: she-ra

[swordsense]

Annette! Hey!

[Oh shit! She...had not forgotten about this but she had forgotten to cover the whole transformation bit.

Well she'll have to explain that!]

I've been okay! The weather sucks. I hope you have been okay too?

[overannchiever]

yep! you know me, i'm always okay!

[ Except for the part where they actually barely know each other. Which is partly why she's here. ]

i just wanted to see how you were doing.
and to thank you for saving me from the fog!
i remember everything now, thank goodness!

[swordsense]

Oh that's good!
I do too. You really bailed me out there.
And also, it was really nice?
I mean everything that I said back there.
You really are beautiful, and cute, and...yeah.
Totally would do that again.

Also, there's something important you should know.
My name isn't She-Ra. My name is Adora, and She-Ra is like...a part of me. I change into her when I'm fighting with magic.
I'll attach a picture to this so you'll know what I really look like.

[And attached at the end is an image embedded to it.]

[overannchiever]

[ The more she reads of She-Ra - no - Adora's text, the redder her face gets. ]

that's

[ How does she even reply to all of that?? ]

you too!!
i mean, i had a good time and you're really pretty too!

[ Goddess, none of her words are coming out the way she means, time to retreat to Plan B: focus on the other thing mentioned. ]

wait, really?
that's so cool!
i wish i could do something like that!

[ Turn into an 8 foot tall woman and bonk enemies with a giant sword? Hell yeah. ]

[swordsense]

[She doesn't need to. Adora is just...that way. she talks out of her ass a lot, and fails to filter.]

Really.
It's because I have a magic sword.
But also, kinda...I don't know how else to put it, so here goes.
I'm the Princess of Power, on Etheria, my home.
There's a bunch of Princesses, and they all have magic runestones that give them special powers.
Mine is to become She-Ra, and I'm sort of supposed to protect everyone.

Sorry, if that sounds weird.

[overannchiever]

[ Does it sound weird? Sure. But also: ]

no, that's like something right out of a fairy tale!
it's amazing!

[ She's amazed! And also very impressed. ]

you're just like a knight in shining armor!
except in a white cape and with a tiara

[ Which, let's be real, is even better. ]

is everyone a princess on etheria then?

[swordsense]

Oh I'm not a knight.
I'm more of a soldier than anything.

But She-Ra is very cool! I've been able to use that power for about three years now and I'm still amazed.

And no, not everyone. There's several kingdoms, and each one has a princess in charge. Each one of us has a stone that gives us our magic, and then there's one more runestone for Bright Moon's Queen. The other kingdoms all answer to her.

But there's normal people too. Loads of them.

[fortune500]

Hi, Adora. It's Asami.

Just wanted to check up on you, after all the craziness that's been going on. How are you? Hope you didn't get hurt by those monsters.

[ It's not exactly true that she's just contacting her to check up on her, but it's really awkward and feels wrong to just dive in why she's really texting Adora.

Besides, she is worried about her safety. ]

un: she-ra

[swordsense]

Hey Asami!

Glad to hear from you.

I'm doing okay, really. The monsters pretty much left me alone, since I was trying to evacuate people from the beach on my skiff.

How about you? Are you okay?

[fortune500]

On your what, now? You have a boat here?

I'm okay, too. My combat skills were pretty useless against the horde of monsters, but I managed to escape. It looks like people with the right kind of powers were able to get them under control.

[swordsense]

Skiff! It's like a boat but it hovers. It's a bit of tech from my world.

I'm glad to hear you're okay. I didn't see you in all the chaos, and I figured you'd be okay. You definitely struck me as pretty sharp when we met!

How have you been settling in? Need anything?

[fortune500]

A hovering boat... I'd love to check it out sometime, if that's okay. I don't think I told you this when we met, but I'm pretty into technology. That doesn't sound like anything I've seen before.

Funny you should ask. I guess you can say I've settled in. I've tried to get more used to the idea of trying to fill out this A5 card, anyway.

Remember that offer you made me? About the card? I think I'd like to take you up on it.

... If the offer still stands.

[swordsense]

[Adora is admittedly just a little surprised. Not shocked, but surprised. Still.]

The offer still stands. I would be happy to.

Actually, I'd love to.

[fortune500]

I know it's a really weird thing to approach someone with, but this place doesn't leave us a whole lot of options, does it?

I'm glad you're okay with it. When are you free?

Oh, and I should send you my card.

Let me know if you get it.

[ attachment ]

No rush.

[ if Asami spamming messages sounds like she's extremely anxious, that's because she 100% is. ]

[swordsense]

It doesn't.

I am free now, and pretty much whenever you want, Asami. I don't have a busy schedule.

[She definitely gets the sense that the woman's nervous, but she can hardly blame her.]

We have the Oral square in common. How does that sound to you?
