[Today Molly Carpenter is in your community buildings, exploring the floors and kitchens and opening (hopefully unoccupied!) random doors. Why is she doing this? She's not quite settled that Community Building Six is the best place for her and Harry to be, so far away from town, and collect evidence to present her case. Also - hey, strolling down someone's apartment corridor could be a great way to meet people!

And secretly, she's looking for thresholds. It makes sense that there aren't any here - five years, at most, being kept in a place against your will - could that even form a threshold? She didn't know, but it was so terribly contrary to her understanding of magic that she had to investigate.

Later in the day, a series of filters starting at 5 and not working their way up past 15 percent will appear in the journal followed by a voice post.]


[Filter at 5 percent]
Testing, testing... so you actually can do this.
[Filter at 10 5 percent]
Testing... drat.
[Filter at 10 7 percent]
Test, test - man, I thought for sure that would work
[Filter at 15 percent]
Ah-ha! Think I'm getting it now...
[Filter at 20 15 percent]
Test... nope.
[Filter at 20 15 percent]
Maybe this will--
[Filter at 20 15 percent]
Oh, come on!


Hi! So. Sorry if anyone bothered with that. I'm trying to get the hang of this "filtering" thing but it's just not like anything I've ever done before. If a couple wouldn't mind putting up some really low, easy filters in this post against me, I'd really appreciate it. That way I could try to sort of... learn it backwards? Thanks.

Hey.

[That is some hair. He hasn't seen here around here before though, so...] If you're looking for a room, I think this floor is full right now.

[talentsgirl]

Really? The whole floor?

[...and she still can't sense a threshold anywhere, darnit.]

[sundead]

Think so. Unless someone went home... [he only really knows a few of his neighbors, but it's usually obvious when someone's moved out.]

[talentsgirl]

Oh. [The disappointment on her face has nothing to do with the lack of vacancies, although it may seem that way.]

Well, sorry for bothering you.

[sundead]

It's no problem... There should be some on the next couple floors.

[talentsgirl]

I guess I'll check those out then.

[Maybe she just needs a little more time. She can't very well go stand in front of someone's occupied door while someone is watching her.]

Thanks.

[you could if you just asked them first....]

Yeah. [...] And uh, welcome to Luceti.

[talentsgirl]

Right. [A quick grin.] I'm Molly, by the way.

[sundead]

I'm Ayumu.
