Who: Anyone
Where: Outside of the angerdome
When: Day 148, noon
What:

[Scattered around the roof of Hydra are several crude tools made of bone, leather and stone and a few papers with rather technical designs on it. Claude's handiwork, for any staring at them, might be recognizable and lays largely untouched, however, in the margins, on the back, on several adjoining sheets are designs on implementing THOSE plans. Equations, materials, notes on experiments and results... all scattered throughout the pages in several handwritings and more than one language.

This obviously hasn't been an overnight project, nor anywhere near completed either...

However, what may have grabbed your attention is the groan of wood as they crank back the catapult for another test.]

... That might be the limit.. adjust the tension or just wait until we can really mess with the angle?

	Eh . . . really? But he works in the forge . . . Isn't it dangerous there? I don't think I could do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is... and it might not be to your tastes. But... don't close off what you can and can't do so easily. You might surprise yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Maybe . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the gist... I know a few specific details, ah... but those are things you might want later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . All I really want to know right now is why I'd come here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	I don't even know that for myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	Oh . . . um. Sorry to have bothered you, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	It's not a bother. There's a lot of things I do know about our world, how it works, and what's going on in it. But nothing that quite... merits this yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Mm . . . I don't know whether to hope for it to really be worth this or not. It would have to be something horrible . . . but coming here for no reason seems even worse . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Makes it hard to decide whether the memories are worth it, doesn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	If . . . If games like the recent ones are what we have to do to earn them back . . . You're right. I'm not sure I want them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'm probably not the only one to tell you this... But they're not always like that. It's just that we don't know what they're going to be before they start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Right again. It feels like I've heard that a hundred times already. . . . There's really nothing else to say about it, is there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	... [Shakes his head.] There is one thing... Live for everything else. Your team, their partners, the life outside of the Games. It can get you through it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	That's still . . . well. There really isn't anywhere . . . else. Nowhere we can get to from here unless we go through it. I know that much. We just . . . have to. Right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm. We each made that choice before coming here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-15 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	[slow nod] . . . We just have to live with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 12:47 am UTC (link)
	I wish there was something reassuring I can tell you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-16 01:02 am UTC (link)
	It's alright . . . I don't think there's anyone who'd be able to say something like that while we're still here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Well. There are some incredible idealists around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-16 01:13 am UTC (link)
	I don't see how they could manage it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Suspecting blunt head trauma is slightly unkind, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-16 01:29 am UTC (link)
	A little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 01:32 am UTC (link)
	Ooops. Ah! Scowl's almost finished! I should be right back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharksong 2010-07-16 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Eh? Okay . . . ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
