Settling In (Open)
Who: Parsee and You!
What: Housemaking, Experiments, Rules Breaking and Parsee getting a little obsessive (September Catch-All)
Where: All around
When: September into October, not that time has that kind of consistency yet
Content Warnings: None Expected! Will update if needd
Option 1) Beach or the Bridge
While others were working on getting their apartments set up, Parsee was demonstrating a great deal of stubbornness on the matter. It wasn't that she didn't want a nice, fancy little apartment with everyone else. She did. But she was convinced she belonged at the shrine, and part of her knew that if she let herself live around them she'd start going crazy with jealousy. A little distance was ... actually sensible at times. So, instead, she was getting her own place set up. Only... a ramshackle shack under the bridge wasn't doing it for her. Even she had standards.
But now actual supplies were showing up at the beach. Actual furniture. Things she could make decent walls with. So, she could be found collecting tools, collecting furniture and getting pieces that she could use to help make actual working walls. She even found a small hourglass among the things that washed up. It wasn't going to be much, but she'd at least get a one-room place of sorts going. Lend a hand? Laugh because she's stubborn?
Help her fend off a Stubby, in case her timing was off?
Option 2) It's Deja Vu all over again
Parsee was staring at one of two things when someone came upon her. Either it was the water clock or it was that hourglass that she'd just found if she wasn't home. She looked like she had just stormed up to the thing, as if it had done something almost infuriating. "Don't do that!" she shouted at it. "You are not allowed to go backwards just because I'm not paying attention, do you get it? The same for everyone! The same for everyone! And don't you dare do that to me again, do you have any idea how much of a headache that gave me?!?"
Yeah, the whole time thing was driving her a little batty. it was operating almost normalcy for her, but only when she was paying attention. It was making for some seriously compulsive moments. And right now? she was shouting at a water clock or an hourglass. Because of course she was. If you were fortunate, you might have seen why. Time had just rewound about a minute on her to fix a minor discrepancy.
Option 3) Breaking the Law, breaking the law! (Bathhouse)
Ever since she'd seen the bath house, and its rules, she'd wanted to break them. But it was really only one. Fish appeared everywhere. Why did they care so much? So she'd managed to find a good sized mason jar and fill it with water before catching a fish with painstaking effort. She'd snuck it all the way down to the bathhouse, and now here she was.
There two ways to catch her. One was with her running in to dump the water into the bath. Ewww. Even more eww, before she disappeared and reappeared outside? The fish was just... dissolving! If not then, you might run into her outside the bathhouse, laughing uproariously and pointing. "I knew it! It's paper! HAHAHAHA! I got you, world!" She acted like she'd learned something important there.
Option 4) The Void, Again (Near the Bridge/River)
She wasn't traveling as deep into the void this time. Instead she was looking down at the scrawled words in the void along the periphery of the created regions. she stared at the words and music forming along the edges of the bridge, forming everywhere. She glared down at it, hands on her hips, eyes glaring.
"Are you listening in on us?" she said, stomping with her foot, clearly of a mixed opinion on the subject.
Wildcard)
(Anything is possible. Hit me up at your leisure. In September, outside of events, Parsee is displaying a lot of very obsessive tendencies as certain things (Time/The nature of created objects) are becoming almost compulsive concerns, so you're welcome to hit her up about any of that any way you think is appropriate, but really just start a prompt and I'll roll with it!)

How about none of the above?
And well, what's more novel than a continuous stream of randomized results? Everything about it is, in a sense, something they haven't seen before.
Of course, Legion is advanced enough to know that there's not much point to endlessly analyzing unpredictable results: the only pattern is that there is none, and that's also the only useful information too. But just like organics who like to rot their brains with mindless television, robots also enjoy entertainment, and Legion can't play their video games right now, so useless streams of novel data will have to do.
And this is why at some point Parsee will come back to her spot to find them totally zoned out and staring at the water clock as though it's the most interesting thing in the world.)
Absolutely!
She stepped up behind Legion, frowning at it. Suddenly, random patterns seemed to become consistent. Almost rigidly so. The randomized pattern under her gaze wasn't nearly so random.]
The little bastard behaving itself?
no subject
They look at Parsee, at the suddenly consistent water clock, back at Parsee.
More headtilting. Did she somehow intimidate the clock into proper functioning?)
...
(Geth error noise.)
no subject
Parsee stepped up beside him from behind, frowning at the water clock. Suddenly, random patterns seemed to become consistent. Almost rigidly so. The randomized pattern under her gaze wasn't nearly so random.]
The little bastard behaving itself?
...
You ever get a feeling of Deja Vu?
no subject
Deja Vu: an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. Geth do not experience this.
(And yet...)
Time has repeated itself?
no subject
[She waltzed a step or two to the water clock. If a water clock could sweat drop, it would have. The youkai gestured and growled.]
We had this conversation. Behave yourself. I don't need to do things twice and half-remember it. It gives me a headache, you.
[Grunt, grumble.]
I'm not actually sure if it's working, but it seems to be more accurate when I'm paying attention to it.
no subject
(That implies that the world itself is capable of understanding what is said to it and of being intimidated--that it has or is developing some form of consciousness.)
Affirmative: irregularity of movement has significantly decreased upon your arrival.
no subject
[She glared at it like it had done something colossally offensive.]
I wonder if it's because I'm here paying attention, or because I shouted at it.
no subject
(They chatter.)
If the world is responding to your anger, this suggests awareness.
no subject
[Tonk tonk.
She turned and glared at it. Yes, she's paying attention to you. It resumed its earlier cycle.]
Maybe it's becoming aware because of us?
no subject
(They look over curiously, but otherwise don't seem bothered in the way Parsee is. The non linear flow of time is a hindrance, but a fascinating one.)
Perhaps it will become able to choose what aspects of us it does and does not wish to incorporate.
no subject
no subject
(Why would the world gaining awareness be more bad for her than anyone else?)
no subject
no subject
(They pause for a moment.)
If the world is attempting to meet expectations in regards to the flow of time, it may also attempt to meet these expectations as well.
no subject
no subject
It is rational.
(They don't understand. Aren't both views equally valid?)
no subject
[Parsee, it might be better to call Legion the realist and you the killjoy.]
no subject
(Parsee would be making things worse for herself by doing that.)
no subject
...
Hmmm...
You have a point. Every time I get paranoid about something this place seems to be paying attention, doesn't it?
[She just now seemed to be catching onto that.]
no subject
(They chatter.)
Perhaps optimism would be wise.
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
(They suppose it shouldn't be surprising that her life has apparently been universally negative, but it's still a disquieting thought.)
no subject
no subject
(It's a tool. Something that keeps people fighting when they might otherwise give up.)
We will hope for positive outcomes for both of us.
no subject
no subject
(They look at the waterclock. It's becoming mesmerizing again: the randomness has increased as they've been paying less attention to it.)
no subject
I'll catch you later Legion.
no subject
(They look at her.)
Goodbye, Parsee.
