CEO: The door is open.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She is over shortly, holding some paper in her hand and looking,,, vaguely nervous?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Why is she nervous?

Intensity is in his lab, cleaning. Since he was dealing with making many body parts in the last few days. He figures she'll figure out where he is eventually.

That and the lab door is open when she gets to the main room]

[rollplayinghouse]

[She is not used to approaching him in a Work capacity. Maybe she's doing it wrong. Maybe she's being silly for thinking this is important enough to bring up. Having to wander around and figure out where he is makes her slightly MORE nervous.

But eventually she does peek in the door and then enter the lab.]

Hey...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[There is an electric bread knife on the table as well as an assortment of attachment pieces - looks like something you would use to connect arms to flesh a mechanical way instead of using SensitIV's ability.

He tosses one such connector in the trash and looks up when she comes in.

The door shuts behind her]

Look at you. Upgraded to taking notes now.

[rollplayinghouse]

W-Well, there was a lot going on, and I didn't want to forget exactly what she said, so... I wrote everything down as best I could remember when I got back after the game.

[She glances over the things on the table as she approaches.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Follows where her eyes are headed]

Finished a new arm for myself and Nemesis. Was thinking about upgrading Hurricane's next if he was interested.

[And then with a chuckle:]

And let me know how Requiem's new eye is. I hope you haven't spoiled the surprise yet.

[rollplayinghouse]

...What surprise?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She asked for the eye to change colors.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I did noticing it doing that. So what's the surprise...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Mood ring.

It seems to work. It's always black when I look at it.

[rollplayinghouse]

...

And you didn't tell her that's why it changes?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She didn't specify. Nor did she ask.

[As if that was a good enough reason]

[rollplayinghouse]

...

[sighs]

You know, how would you feel if someone put a mood color-changer in your eye without telling you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'd never let anyone put a device in my head that I didn't make so that's a moot point.

[rollplayinghouse]

[rolls her eyes.]

Well, whatever. I don't promise not to tell her if it seems relevant.

[but it also seems like a good way to tell when she's lying about her feelings...]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Look. It's going to be funny until it isn't. Give him this one small thing. He's not even going to be the one who benefits from it]

Suit yourself.

You came about work?

[rollplayinghouse]

...Yeah.

[After a beat of hesitation, she offers her short sheet of notes.]

Like I said, I just talked to her before the game, a bit.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well now that is interesting.]

Made Pythia who she is...

Hadassah originally worked in talent recruiting. I thought that she meant idols. But what if she meant something different?

[rollplayinghouse]

Like what? Demons?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Left mentioned that he was picked. Or earned his position as a host. Of course he was cagey about it when asked anything directly about the process.

[rollplayinghouse]

So there's a recruiter picking hosts out of whatever crop of demons they've got? I guess that's possible... But why would someone who was in charge of that just be hosting herself now?

And, Pythia isn't a host... Who recruits for Princedom?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She said she was doing a favor for Pythia. Something that she would never turn down.

...

So if Pythia wasn't the original Prince of Lies-- does that mean someone else was?

[rollplayinghouse]

Maybe? Or it could mean Hadassah was around before any of that was a thing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So the Princes are a potential reorg.

[Laughs at that]

Well, I guess that's one theory. Maybe that's also why they are so bad at running this production.
