[ Action 1 | Closed to Jane Crocker ]

[ So Dirk has to bake something for the other inmates. He would just blow it off, but he needs to get some practice in anyway. Cooking is something he intends to get better at.

So he's asked for Jane's help, and on the morning of Day 187 he stands in the kitchen of their apartment, surrounded by the materials necessary for making cookies, wearing a frilly pink apron. ]

Hey, just a heads-up: My broke-ass headset's not translating anything today as part of some bullshit punishment for defending myself against a bunch of giant wasps. So if you don't speak English, Japanese, Urdu, Pashto, Farsi, Tagalog, or Lojban, don't bother trying to get in touch with me until tomorrow.

[ There's not very much to do when you live in the future. ]

Second, I made a bunch of cookies. Another punishment thing. I've planted them in random locations around the dome. Good luck.

[ They can be found basically anywhere: In the pockets of clothes in The Row, in drawers in empty apartments, on the learning modules in the Education Center. If you can think of a completely ridiculous location, there is a cookie there.

They taste awful. There's a reason he made them available for general consumption instead of just giving them to his housemates. ]

[ Action 2 | Closed to housemates ]

[ After going around finding stupid hiding places for the cookies, Dirk returns to their apartment.

He sighs. He's... exhausted. He hasn't slept for days, and after the wasps and the. Everything. He could just really use some sleep. But he has to keep going for three more days.

Fuck, why did he suggest this? ]

	I appreciate that. Anything you want me to keep an eye out for in particular? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Green static or fire. Dead frogs. My eyeball. Umm. Are you familiar with the Red Miles? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ugh, noted. Yeah, I was actually in the middle of a fucking miles gangbang before I got arrested. Jack apparently was using 'em to destroy my universe, and in the meantime some other douchebag was busting shit up on Derse with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That jerk. [She's been trying really hard to keep a lid on her burning desire for Jack's head on a pike, but it's been difficult.]

Anyway. The ability is locked to us, but I don't know what would happen if Snowman wore the ring. That would probably be a worst-case scenario, and all I could really do is try to damage control. [Which is to say, try and prevent as many people from dying as possible.]

[ He's about to say it's cool, there's nothing there worth saving anyway, before remembering that Roxy told PM about the carapacian colonies. Which she would definitely consider worth saving.

It's not that Dirk is racist, it's just that he doesn't really give a fuck about people he's not close to. ]

Maybe you could find out. Do the rings specifically only work if you're from the right kingdom, or could, say, AR or WV be affected by your ring's prototypings?

	It doesn't matter, as long as the wearer is a carapacian. But AR absolutely refuses to ever wear it, and WV is more afraid of the Miles than most things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-12 03:51 am UTC (link)
	So in other words, you've got no way to find out until the worst possible moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-10-12 03:53 am UTC (link)
	... Yes. I don't really want to trust our wardens, but if they're anything like Acumen was, they'll at least try and prevent their prison from becoming too broken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-12 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	The prison itself, yes. We can't rely on them to keep casualties down, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-10-13 01:59 am UTC (link)
	[PM sighs.] Maybe I'll ask AR again. If it's to save lives, he might be willing to try it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-13 02:17 am UTC (link)
	He seems like a decent guy. I'm sure he would. [ This is Dirk being pretty irked at AR's refusal to try and see. Not that he's letting it into his tone. Or maybe he's just irked because he's on Day 4 of no sleep. That could be it too. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-10-13 03:14 am UTC (link)
	[God Dirk you really need to get some sleep. In the future.] Public safety is his highest priority! I'll let you know what we find out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-13 03:34 am UTC (link)
	[ He will soon! In this very post as a matter of fact. ] Great. I'll be waiting to hear from you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-10-13 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Muttering, half to herself.] Hopefully he won't take long to convince... (Reply to this) (Parent)
