77th Draw is an attempt to alleviate boredom [Voice/Action]

[selphie_t]

[It had taken a fair bit of convincing but in the end, Selphie had found herself seated on a high stool in front of the computer for the Battle Dome busily programming in something that would help her get back on her feet. An X-Potion had taken care of the worst of her injuries but it still left her ankle in a state where she couldn't put a lot of weight on it without her having to hop about on one foot which a certain pricely Lucetian who shall remain nameless wouldn't allow in the least.

When she was finished with the computer, an olympic sized swimming pool like the one in Trabia Garden had been programmed and Selphie was happily swimming some strength back into her ankle with the aid of a flutter board. It was the safest way to get some strength back into her ankle without putting any weight on it at all. Really though, it was just nice to be outside of the apartment again for a little bit. She'd never done well with just sitting still and she knew that just resting her ankle wouldn't help it at all.

Eventually though, Selphie's back in the apartment, curled up in an overstuffed easychair with her ankle propped on a foot stool to rest it for awhile. She opens her journal and rests it in her lap before breaking her communication silence as she stares out at the snow flakes that are happily dancing through the air. What she wouldn't give for a cup of hot chocolate at the moment.

She presses the voice button and greets Luceti with every ounce of cheer in her body. Yep, she's in a very good mood today for a few reasons. Two of them happen to be people by the names of Sanji and Allen so congrats lads.]

Isn't the snow lovely? Well... not if you're a New Feather but otherwise, isn't it pretty?

But anyway, that's not my point! If anybody has been wanting a swimming pool for year round use, wait no longer! I programmed one into the Battle Dome computer today and everybody's welcome to use it! There's lots of pool toys in there too so use it a lot during the winter.

Also, it's really good for helping to strengthen up an injury without having to put any weight on it and for Ami's swimming lessons as well. It really is for everyone in the village! The name of the program is Pool so it should be super mega easy to find as well.

And speaking of our New Feathers, how's everybody settling in?

Comments

[voice] ah, good to know. Thanks!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

If that's what you prefer, then that's how I'll address you.

[voice] Sure!

[menial]

Well, thanks. Kind of you. Not too many people bother with that, funnily enough.

Re: [voice] Sure!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Everybody has nicknames but it's really about making people comfortable here. Getting used to Luceti can be challenging sometimes.

[voice]

[menial]

Hmm. Well, aside from the alleged horrible stuff that happens, I'm sure it is very comfortable.

'Maybe a little snarkier than I intended.'

Ah, I'm sure you do your best, and that we all appreciate your kindness.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You must be talking about the experiments. They can get a little... wonky I guess and a lot of people tend to complain about them but well... yeah, they do suck. I can't put a positive spin on that one, sorry.

I try my best.

[voice]

[menial]

...It's nice of you to try, anyway. Not everything needs a positive spin, I guess.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

That might be true but a little silver lining does make things easier to deal with.

[voice]

[menial]

In that case, perhaps the silver lining for me is that I haven't yet been experimented on.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

And we usually get experments near the end of the month so I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unless you're really lucky, you might be getting experimented on by the end of the month.

[voice]

[menial]

...I think I'll deal with that by strenuously ignoring it for now. So, how do you program a pool, anyway?

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well it's like programming a blog but the computer makes it really easy to.

[voice]

[menial]

And what kind of things can you do with it?

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't really experimented with the full capabilities of the Battle Dome but I know that you can train to become stronger, take a stroll down memory lane, stuff like that!

[voice]

[menial]

Sounds like it'd be easy to develop an addiction.

'Anyway, I can't be the only person who imagined other uses first.'

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I guess that'd depend on the person using it, wouldn't it?

[voice]

[menial]

Probably would. I for one probably waste enough of my time on video games so that the signs look bad for me.

Re: [voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie laughs there.]

I could always programs some sports into it I suppose...

[voice]

[menial]

Heh. Well, I could get a gym membership at home, but I don't know if that would help either, if that makes sense.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Bah. Gym Memberships. We had those back home as well to be honest and it just seemed silly.

[Not that she really needs one mind you.]

[voice]

[menial]

Silly? Yeah, well, people do try to lose weight and such.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[voice]

[menial]

What would you rather do?

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Monster bashing.

[voice]

[menial]

I... see.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Don't dock it 'til ya try it!
