Event Log - Total Recall (2)

Who: YOU AND ME! THAT SPELLS... MOUYE?
What: More event shenanigans
When: Today until the 4th! (Backdating is okay too)
Where: All around Luceti. Actually that's wrong. Anywhere INSIDE Luceti.
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated BLARGHARGHBLARGH

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a second log so people can change up their effects and try something new, jump into the event late, or just avoid the impending CAPTCHA on the first log.

We need a balloon.

[It was stated simply, as if it were just something as casual as the weather.]

A hot air balloon. It's hard to rig up if you don't have a ton of mechanical know-how, and Lupin is best with smaller gadgets. He needs help with the actual fire mechanism--balance, control--but isn't asking for it.

At all.

[He sighs.] It's a big thing too, but he keeps stalling. Its the distractions. He always falls for distractions.

Has he not worked with hot air balloons before? Or did he simply purchase the parts and assemble them as needed? I do not think it would be terribly likely for anyone to just find a whole rig in the village.

[Frowning, he drums his fingers on the countertop. No hot air, no heist. But. He doesn't know anything about hot air balloons.]

Damnit Red, [A grunt of irritation.] I'm a surgeon, not a mechanic!

He's a thief, Adele. He steals the necessary components.

[Sarcasm aside, there's a smirk that's an echo of Lupin's curling his lips. The glimpse at the cool, sly thief is ruined by her frustration--Red bursts out laughing.]

Oh--God Goldie! I never pegged you for a Trekkie!

Dellie, not Goldie. [It's a fairly quick, quiet reminder. Something he intends to stick with for a long while afterward.]

McCoy was one of my heroes growing up, and a solid motivator that got me through medical school.

Sorry--Lupin doesn't see the point in differentiating. You're both parts of one like he and I are...it's too complicated to explain.

[He shakes his head, shoving the thoughts aside for later, and takes a deep sip of his whiskey.]

Wasn't saying that there was anything wrong with liking McCoy. It was just a surprise.

...This isn't a discussion I want to have- because we've already seen where it goes. We're not, She's her, I'm me, don't call me Goldie.

[As far as he's concerned? End of discussion. Forever.]

It was one of the few things Robert and I had in common.

...I'm sorry, you know that Lupin's not going to listen to that, right?

[Which was going to make everything that much more rough. Lupin liked the nickname for Adele as herself as well. The last thing Red wanted to see was her not smiling.] I'll do what I can to keep him in line, but there's not much I can do.

...

At least you had something in common enough to make life bearable. I wasn't asking you to build one, though.

That's for he and I to work out.

[End of discussion. Right now he has to work out how to get a hot air balloon up in the air and flying without worrying about actually being on it because that would just be the worst goddamn thing ever-

He cuts off that line of thought with a swallow of gin.]

We didn't even speak the same language when we met. He didn't know much French, I didn't know much English. But the mechanism- I could speak to Howard. Or Stark. But. I'd rather speak to Howard.

[Just work it out for the better, and don't take any irritation at Red out on Lupin--that was his only hope, left unvoiced by her curt tone. He sighs at her words, and shakes his head again.]

Ask whomever you like--Lupin knows both but won't ask either. [He sneaks a glance at Adele once more, curious.]

...you never did learn to shave, did you?

I'll speak to Howard once I'm. Me. Again. Because I don't think flattery will go across near as well while I'm in a male body. [He snorts.]

Mm? Oh, no. I decided I like the rugged bestubbled look. It makes me so much more handsome, don't you think?

[The commentary earns a soft chuckle from Red, and he hides a smile in his tumbler.]

Oh, I don't know. I always prefered my men to be clean shaven.

Depends on the man. Why, I think I may very well attempt to grow a beard much like Ben's. Or perhaps a goatee and mustache like Stark's. I bet I could wear it better than him.

Anyone can wear it better than Stark, but I don't think you can pull off something like Obi-Wan. It would hide your smile. It's a nice smile--for you, not for anyone else.

...Red, you and your commentary on my smiles is edging upon romantic and borderline uncomfortable territory. The last time a man commented on how much, how nice, and how they want to see more of my smiles- it was my husband.

It's not romantic, believe me. Lupin thought for weeks that you cut too stern a figure. The smiles do wonders for you. They make you more approachable.

Which is why I usually do not smile. Being approachable is counterintuitive if you do not want to be approached.

...that was the wrong word. They make you look more relaxed. You have been more relaxed, right?

...If I say no are you going to have a heart to heart with me about stress, taking care of myself, and feelings- or might i avoid that?

...

And now I understand the typical male disinterest in those discussions.

Lupin's talked to you enough about that, in his own way. You don't need to hear it from me.

...

Just remember to smile. And please don't grow an Obi-Wan beard!

But then I would be able to stroke it while I'm deep in thought much like he does. It will be wondrous.

Your face is too narrow for a bushy beard--stick with a goatee if you want facial hair. Or your stubble.

Perhaps I could style it like Jigen's. Keep it nice and pointy, yes?

Just...stick with a cleaner look. That wouldn't work for you either.

Aw. You do not care for the scruff? But it makes me look so rugged and manly.

Yeah. You don't pull 'rugged' off very well.
