Tokyo's like. Real big flashy glass buildings, and real bright flashy lights. San Fran's a little slower. There's these docks that're famous, and real steep hills.

Ah... buildings of glass? Would they not be too fragile, though?

[ she says it in a way that seems interested, though. like: how? ]

I mean... I guess not? Cause they can make em real tall.

And Japan gets earthquakes and stuff, and it's fine.

Hmm... do you suppose there is some special technique in the making of it? Of course we have glass, but it is not so strong to make whole buildings out of, and the mechanisms we make from it are still quite fragile... there would be so many possibilities, with a stronger material that looked the same—

The crossbeams are steel, I'm pretty sure? And they use concrete for the foundation and whatever.

Ah... so secondary support structures, and I will have to learn more about "concrete"—

[ she is, meanwhile, fiddling with a mechanism along some of the grooves for the water, while the other woman looks on, huffily, arms crossed. ]

The mechanisms here are ancient... they need to be recalibrated, especially since this level of the temple hasn't seen use in many ages. Measuring things it hasn't had reason to measure in some time... especially now that the waters rise.

Like, ah... doing something after a long time letting a skill rest.

Qaiyaan won't accept that we need to adjust things, though.

We have done things this way for ages for so long, and it is the way things are done, she says! If it ceases to function, then the waters flow where they flow, she says!

But it has always had the capacity for these functions; we have just forgotten how to use them.

I mean... I could try and take a look?

I'm an engineer, so maybe I could help.

Qaiyaan will just fuss more, to see a Terran touch the mechanisms, and besides—I know how it all should work. It's just getting her to give me enough peace to actually fix them, without getting distracted by another argument about darool.

What, so, like - distract her?

Re: THE TEMPLE

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-26 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
If you can! She is very single-minded. I would ask you to convince her, but she would never be swayed by a Terran, for better or for worse.

If you happen to find out, I believe that would be news to everyone.

For real? She ain't got nothing she likes?
handpuppets: (raachna)

Re: THE TEMPLE

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-26 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if she has things she likes, I am certainly not one of them. So I doubt she would share them with me.

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2020-02-26 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
...ah. Well.

Lemme see what I can do.

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-26 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
I admit I expect little, but a few moments' peace... I would appreciate.

And do not listen to anything she says about me.

[ she nods. if you were expecting a thank you, well—

you're getting a cultural crash-course.

[ this woman, by contrast, isn't precisely working on anything, but is instead pacing, occasionally swirling the sleeves of her kaftan-like garment in a gesture that's clearly distaste. she looks at you suspiciously as you approach. ]

How may I assist you.
