Tss'Renia shouts "Hello, time for City Hall Office Hours! Do you need a mechanical cloud to water your plants? Give silly problems, get silly solutions! Global exit is `ch`."  (Public-shout)
You leave for S5 W7 City Hall.
S5 W7 City Hall(#212RL)
     City Hall is a transparent, slightly dome wide-set at its base, with the swirling patterns of half-started spectrums swirling around the flimsy shell.  The shell itself seems almost to breathe, as it flexes in the breeze and the changes of the people around it.  A copper arch marks the most fixed spot and the easiest entrance to the hall.
     
     Around the globe a sparkling array of smaller globes cling to the exterior, each an office or a room or department, and these rooms swirl around as if to off-vertical ferrous wheels on a structure imitating a soap bubble.
     
     The park outside City Hall softly rises and falls, with spots of leaves and flowers of all colors popping into and out of being easily, and more rarely but still sometimes shrubs or bushes or even the odd tree makes it appearance, or exit, quietly but ever changing the light of the center.
        A faint hint of false dawn appears in the eastern sky, softened to just above imagination by a mist in the air.  The time is 3:00 AM.

Obvious Exits:

Vahno has arrived.
Amy says, "Nay.  Hi Krasu"
PatchO'Black arrives from elsewhere via the City Hall exit.
PatchO'Black has arrived.
PatchO'Black waves!
Krasudreal prrbs, "Hello Amy!"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Nah, just getting started."
Amy also waves.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Alright, so, hello everyone. With me being the Mayor and all I thought it would be nice to have on Office Hours event where people can walk in 'open door' style and present problems that need fixing, or any shenanigans you have in mind. Patashu, the Vice Mayor of how many years now? Is here with us too today. We are your humble public servants, what do you need?"
PatchO'Black mews, "What shenanigans should I be up to, Your Honor?"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Elders in a basket, please, no honorifics."
Somewhere on the muck, Rifter has disconnected.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "How is your basket doing, Patchy?"
PatchO'Black mews, "Long overdue for the upgrade Borris wants to do, cousin Tss'Renia."
Tss'Renia sets up a desk, a Rhodia pad, a fountain pen, a candle, a wax stick, and a stamp. She starts taking notes. "Ah, that still did not happen? Did you want to set up a date where we could get movers to help you? And by movers, I mean, me, my nodes, and anybody else that wants to jump in."
[OOC] Patashu says, "foodget!"
[OOC] Amy says, "I think I still owe you a ghost encounter tss'renia"
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Ah? What do you mean?"
[OOC] Amy says, "a rp I promised you. or nebula really"
You rumble, "Two years in a row, and I can't remember if I had a discontinuous third year before!"
Featherwing arrives from elsewhere via the City Hall exit.
Featherwing has arrived.
Patashu dragons out and stands up straight.
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "I remember that! Well, I was hoping this event would mix silliness with roleplay planning, if you want to pitch the idea if you want it to get visibility."
Tss'Renia can not do straight, only gay and asexual.
[OOC] PatchO'Black says, "Just to clarify something regarding the "Building of Fort Jellicle", it doesn't have to happen all at once. In fact, in past, it was more of a running gag, where the folks involved (including Borris and me) would talking about how the build was going, folks would give us updates, and such. I think it is only when Fort Jellicle is ready for me to temporarily move in that everyone would want to be there."
( Three kobolds in black cultist robes holding lit candles approach Tss'Renia. )
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Oh, that is good to know, we could definitively do it more that way!"
Tss'Renia looks at the kobolds, "Those robes are so slimming! Where can I get one?"
[OOC] PatchO'Black says, "It cuts down on pressure, and allows for more of a build up, no pun intended!"
PatchO'Black mews, "Well, I know you built a previous Fort Jellicle, Tss'Renia, a rather nice one. I don't mind letting folks build another, though I don't want folks to feel overlooked as well."
[OOC] Amy says, "i have been completely stuck on it for months.  but I want to do it still somehow."
( One of the kobolds says, "There was a sale in a Neopolis Spirit Halloween." The other one says, "Tss'Renia! The Kobold Order petitions you!" )
Vahno says, "Oh boy."
Tss'Renia scribbles something on a piece of paper, cuts it out from the pad, and starts folding it. "Very well Patchy, it shall be done. Oh, please approach, Kobold. Let us hear your petition!"
( The kobolds bow. They place the three candles around Tss'Renia, whip out chalk and inscribe a circle. Then pause. "We desire to know which runes are the correct ones for summoning you!" )
'Niny'ah fails to choke back a laugh!
Vahno snrks!
Tss'Renia uuuuuuuhhhh. "I am sorry, I am not magic oriented. Usually, people reach me over the local phone-net, or ham radio. Do I get to pick my runes? What choices do I have?" Tss'Renia melts the wax over the fold of the paper with a lighter.
( A kobold whips out a phone from its cultist robe pockets and holds it up to Tss'Renia, scrolling through examples. "Geometric is in vogue, though given your public records, you might want to try a circuit trace aesthetic..." Another kobold gets distracted and looks to see if Reni has a floppy disk stash nearby. )
'Voksa arrives from elsewhere via the City Hall exit.
'Voksa has arrived.
Krasudreal prrbs, "Ah! Hello Voksa!"
'Voksa dooks! "Hullo."
Somewhere on the muck, Voksa has connected.
Tss'Renia has a tea floppy on the table, "Well, if you have access to that circuit trace logo thing you may be referring to, that is my seal", she places the seal on the hot wax, "You want to shine that logo on the clouds like someone calls batman?"
( The kobold cultists shake their heads vigorously! "No! It is a summoning ritual. You'll appear inside of it in a flash of smoke and roar dramatically!" They nod, "Like Patashu used to." )
Patashu looks up at that?
PatchO'Black mews, "Thanks, Tss'Renia! Good night, everyone!"
Vahno has connected.
Krasudreal prrbs, "Rest well!"
[OOC] Vahno says, "Gah, I hate random disconnects."
Tss'Renia hands the letter to Patchy, "Good night!"
Mako hugs a patchycat
Mako says, "Oh dear, are you getting fired as a dragon, pata? o.o"
Tss'Renia looks to the kobold, "Oh, I see, so you need three items of mine to summon me?", she slides the tea floppy over, "I would start with this. Then you might need... Huh. What kind of *loot* do I drop?"
Patashu sweats? "Is this the end of poor old Patashu...?"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "No, we just got high availability for dragons now."
( The kobolds look surprised, then implore, "You'd never be defeated!" )
Vahno says, "Let's find out!"
Vahno tugs out a foam bat.
PatchO'Black makes sure to store the letter in the safe place!
PatchO'Black hugs cousin Tss'Renia!
PatchO'Black hug ousin Mako!
Tss'Renia beep, "No one will ever replace Patashu."
Mako passes patchy a bear-shaped package. :3
PatchO'Black mews, "Is it a suspiciously bear-shaped package? =^_^="
Patashu perks! Crouches down and stares at the foam bat, rump and tail wiggling.
Tss'Renia slides a squirrel plushie to Patchy.
Mako says, "It might be!"
Somewhere on the muck, Ping has disconnected.
PatchO'Black mews, "Thanks! Good night!"
Mako oh rights, and gets in line. o.o
PatchO'Black takes out his calico flute and play a short tune, taking him away...
PatchO'Black has left.
Tss'Renia shuffles papers, "Earth day is coming up, do we have anything fun planned? Oh, Mako? I think the Kobolds are recovering from having the thought of their beloved dragon replaced. What can I do for you?"
( The kobold cultists ahem to Tss'Renia and say, "We'll be in touch!" In a POOF of smoke they vanish from view! (If you're looking in the rigt direction you can see them dashing away.) )
Tss'Renia giggles.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Ah poop I am out a tea floppy now."
( They did indeed abscond with it. )
RufusJr arrives from elsewhere via the City Hall exit.
RufusJr has arrived.
( A grizzled looking anthro stoat with a scarred eye, ragged fur and sheathed broadsword joins the line at the back. )
Vahno bonks Patashu!
Tss'Renia looks to Patashu, "Those kobolds are yours?" She then looks to Mako.
Krasudreal prrbs, "Ah, welcome!"
You rumble, "Know anyone else on the disk with kobolds?"
You rumble, "...Uhh, yes."
Patashu goes 'squeak' when hit.

---[ Found 12 characters. ( 10 Awake / 2 Zombies ) ]--------------------------
You see a young anthropomorphic raccoon boy, who appears as a living cartoon in a fluid golden-age animation style. His fur is largely a dark gray, with lighter gray visible around his mouth and as a triangular patch running from his neck to his chest. A black mask marking surrounds his blue eyes. He has a tousled tuft of brown hair on the top of his head. The fur around his hands and feet is a darker gray, along with the rings on his tail. He wears a pair of denim overalls with silvery buttons and a pocket on the front.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I do not. I have ferrets."
You rumble, "Unconventional but we unconditionally support."
Mako says, "I have pooka. :3"
Mako says, "And Felynes"
Tss'Renia taps fingers on the desk, "Have your kobolds ever gave feedback on working with the ferrets?"
You rumble, "Yes! Let's see..."
Patashu HUD scrolls...
Tss'Renia turns to Mako, "Oh, it is your turn, by the way. What can the city do for you?"
RufusJr jumps out of a portable hole to arrive at city hall. "Hi!" he announces.
You rumble, "'Dutiful, if silly'"
You rumble, "Game recognizes game I suppose. Oh, hello!"
'Voksa giggles
You rumble, "I believe we have a new citizen tonight? Please say hello to Rufus Jr.!"
'Voksa says, "Oh hi!"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Hello Rufus, welcome to SpinDizzy, and moreover, City Hall. Do you need a permit to build a house? You do not need one, but have one anyway. I love using this new wax stamp."
RufusJr waves to everyone. "Nice to meet you," he says.
Mako says, "Aha, a question/statement. I'm gonna be posting up notice for that plot workshop tonight/tomorrow, unless anyone got problems, is monday going to work, you think? And also, do you have any specific events you wanna see run/need done?"
Mako alsowavs to Rufus~
Vahno has disconnected.
Krasudreal prrbs, "Hey, Rufus, there's some places around that you can take an apartment. I personally live in one. Make sure to look around to find something that matches your vibes."
You rumble, "Specifically, you can use `homefinder` (warning, spammy). Or just `editroom` whatever you want!"
Krasudreal prrbs, "Also, I am Krasudreal! I've been here for... A few years now? Gosh. Not as much as most folks, though! In any case, pleased to make your acquaintance!"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Monday should be fine. What are you workshop'ing? Personally, I would love to run a Earth Day event on Saturday. Or, let us call it SpinDizzy day I guess. I also have a few events I need to write and need people to harass me about to get it done."
Amy says, "call it dirt day."
Tss'Renia says to Rufus, "Of the top of my head, there are houses in Feedback, and a few cabins at Cornucopia Station, if a forest on a spacestation is your thing."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Dirt day it is."
[Nina just looked in your direction! (girlthing catlike-demon/virus)]
Vahno waves. "Name's Vahno. I causse trouble."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Dirt day, Saturday, 6pm? Let us make it rose garden?"
Nina comes out of a portal of glitchy shadows behind Pata, and yaaaaaawns, curling up their back.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "And occasionally eat souls."
RufusJr says, "Yeah, where I'm gonna live is a big question."
Mako says, "It's the plot workshop I've been trying to get going. Helping people get plots going. :x Oh, and do you have any plasn for adventure day when it rolls around?"
Nina blinkblinks, and does a double-take at Renia. "Do what now?"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I am unknowing about adventure day. Sounds like your workshop might be useful to get Raphael and Penelope plot going."
RufusJr perks up. "What's Adventure Day?" he asks excitedly.
Tss'Renia looks up to the grizzled stoat.
Mako says, "It's a holiday made by pata when they were first elected mayor. :3"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Great idea!"
Mako says, "I've beeen trying to get a comprehensive list of the holidays and their histories, I have... about two thirds of them?"
You rumble, "Yep, that's mine!"
Amy says, "...I'm not sure I've ever seen an adventure day.  what do people do?"
Krasudreal prrbs, "Adventure?"
Mako Gestures to PAta in an "Explain?" manner. :P
You rumble, "Traditionally it's been used to run a one or two shot campaign. Either taking place in a simdome with props and actors, or setting up and resolving a problem."
You rumble, "I did an event in the pokemon adventure park, and Voksa did a oneshot about helping a setting with a strange growth taking over (paraphrasing from memory, I did not get to attend that one)"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I still have one about a creature escaping containment as well."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I suck at motivation."
You rumble, "And even if there's no event it's a general celebration of the power of being able to change the world for the better by solving problems and standing up to evil and uniting with friends and communities."
You rumble, "'the world is worth saving, and you can do it'. The noblebright ethos."
You rumble, "I'll also explain Passion Day. This was called Love Day but I renamed it, and everyone I talked to said this better describes what it was INTENDED to be anyway. Be passionate about your hobbies, interests and role models and share it publicly."
Tss'Renia blanks out, "Oh, you know what would be nice? A really long story arc with a build up like Pale Moonlight from DS9. 'Are we still the good guys?'"
Patashu grins
You rumble, "If you're willing to run it!"
Mako says, "PAssion day works al ot better, I think. Some of our holidays have evolved, at least one has kind of fallen off of popularity"
'Niny'ah . o O ( The world is worth saving, and so should you. )
Featherwing has disconnected.
Amy . o O ( save often.  and make backups. )
Featherwing has connected.
Vahno says, "Save the world, but have fun doing it!"
Mako Also scribbles down pata's notes so she cna update the entry when she finsihes the museum room...
Somewhere on the muck, Myril has disconnected.
[OOC] Tss'Renia fixes up evening activities.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I think there was a stoat that was queueing, but I am not sure where they went."
'Niny'ah . o O ( OPERATIONAL AREA EXPANDED. )
( The stoat is still there. "Ahem. Is it my turn?" )
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Yes, sorry for the wait. What can I do for you, creature?"
( The stoat gruffs, "So I'll get to the point; I dunno if there's a home or work for folks like me who've blown in on the winds of fate and don't trust all this high technology and whatnot. Any good jobs an adventurer can get 'round here or am I settlin' in to retire?" )
Lightspill has disconnected.
Krasudreal prrbs, "look"
'Niny'ah suddenly has a pen and paper. "What're your Adventuring specialties?"
Krasudreal prrbs, "I am pretty sure there's adventure every week?"
'Niny'ah . o O ( I draw the line at the Librarian Glasses. Not my style )
Tss'Renia .wavs, "How are you with working the land? I may have something for you on Cornucopia. There are cabins, and there are plants to care for, some of which yield produce. You can lodge there for as long as you want, and eat what you want as well."
Vahno nudges Kras.
Krasudreal tilts their head... "Cornucopia?"
( The stoat says to Niny'ah, tapping his sheathed sword, "Got a sword 'n know how to use it." )
( The stoat peers to Krasu and hrmms. then looks to Reni. "I reckon I could make it work. Where's Cornucopia?" )
Vahno points up.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "The new spacestation. It is a botanical garden. I live there. Latex and helium is provided to the inflatables, grown from there, as well as nuts, blueberries, and all sorts of daily consumable food items. Cornucopia station can be accessed through two partner spaceports. One is Patashu Industry's spaceport, which has a ferry to Cornucopia. The other is through Feedback's spaceport, which also has a ferry that yields there. If you have a spaceship of your own, there are some coordinates [t cornucopia] that will take you there."
RufusJr watches the stoat wide-eyed. "...So cool," he says in a whisper.
Krasudreal prrbs, "I should visit there sometime."
'Niny'ah says, "So, melee close quarters, Any others?"
Vahno says, "Plant exchange, Kras."
( The stoat hrmmms and looks grumbly. "Ain't natural... But somethin' simple I'm appreciated for'd be good." The stoat says to Niny, "Don't need anythin' else. I know how to live off the land, s'well." )
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Most of the tech is biosynth variant with a mycelium network to help plants grow, and inflatable mechanical ferret servants that tend to the garden when no one else does. The ferrets would not get in your way."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "The tree is absolutely beautiful."
Somewhere on the muck, Myril has connected.
Krasudreal prrbs, "I really should visit sometime..."
( The stoat says, "Suppose I'll do. Nature makes me feel at peace so at worst it'll be nice to lose myself init." )
( The stoat turns to leave if no one says anything further. )
Tss'Renia waves to the stoat, "See you around!"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I think they would make a good neighbor."
You rumble, "So, how's hearing the needs of your constitutents treating your ears, Reni?"
Tss'Renia starts folding her table up in half, the then in 4th, and 8th, and "I like it! Something I would do again. It sounds like we are lining ourselves up for some really interesting weeks and months ahead of us" places the tiny cube that used to be a table into her debug panel. "I would love to visit the stoat on cornucopia and see how they are settling in later."
Krasudreal prrbs, "Ah, before we fully finish this."
Patashu perks?
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Yes?"
Krasudreal prrbs, "It is quite late, I would like to schedule some time with you, Tss'Renia, and Patashu as well. To talk about..." Krasudreal pulls out a piece of paper... "Ah, yes. A plan for the strategic relocation of mayoral office resources...""
Krasudreal prrbs, "Would friday be a good time?"
Tss'Renia nods, "Friday is fine with me!"
You rumble, "I can't do fridays due to an obligation in the First Reality. I can do any other day."
Austin arrives from elsewhere via the City Hall exit.
Austin has arrived.
Austin says, "Evening morning, gang."
You rumble, "(Or you can do a solo Reni thing if it's more convenient, not sure how specific your plans are!)"
RufusJr says, "Guess I'll go look around places."
Krasudreal prrbs, "Oh, Hmmm..."
RufusJr has the room swing up to meet S5 W6, and leaves.  ([E]ast to follow.)
RufusJr has left.
Krasudreal prrbs, "Saturday...? Wait, let me check something."
[OOC] Tss'Renia needs to sleep, but will let herself fall asleep here ic as well.
[OOC] Patashu grins
[OOC] Krasudreal says, "Yeah it is legitimately quite late"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Saturday would be fine too. I do want to plan an _dirt_ day, but both can happen on the same day."
Austin says, "Oh, are we having a Dirty Mountain Dew day?"
Krasudreal prrbs, "Yes... Probably. What timeframe are we looking at? For hours? This probably should have... Uh, other people. To... Discuss."
Featherwing has disconnected.
Mako waves to Austin.
Mako got a lil distracted
Austin says, "Heya, Mako and more."
Vahno says, "I can make saturday easy."
Krasudreal prrbs, "Alright. Just, set a time for that, and I'll be there. As well as anyone else want to see the discussion... Can we set the meeting place as the destructible city? It is very... Scenic."
Patashu oooh.
You rumble, "I like where this is going. :3"
Krasudreal prrbs, "Alright, thank you for your attention. I probably should let you lot pack up now. Do remind me when you pick a time."
Krasudreal prrbs, "Time, which is different from day"
Krasudreal sliiiiides away...
Krasudreal has the room swing up to meet Outside the SpinDizzy News Offices (S5 W8), and leaves.  ([W]est to follow.)
Krasudreal has left.
Mako Waves to Krasu~
