[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.

[And so, seemingly forgetting about the second condition because the mun has, Molly turns to do just that.]

So what made you pick this building?

[arturius]

I thought it would be useful to live near the stables. Until I realized that the stables were already full. [So alas for his horse, it has no stable.]

[talentsgirl]

You have a horse?

[arturius]

I wouldn't be much of a knight without one.

[talentsgirl]

[Her response was automatic and perhaps strange considering Arthur may have already gathered that there aren't many knights in modern times.]

I'd say that there's more to being a knight than having a horse. It's got a lot more to do with a man and why he fights.

[...and maybe what sword he carries.]

[arturius]

[At first he stares at her with an expression of 'duh', then shakes his head and answers.]

You know, I'd never considered that. I'd always thought the knight's code was about wearing heavy armor, running around on horses, and getting killed.

[talentsgirl]

[And lightly, she rolls with it.]

Oh, so you're into RPGs. That explains it.

[She is really unsure how to tell what is and isn't sarcasm from this guy. But she's glad that he was just being sarcastic about the horse thing earlier - I mean. It's King Arthur.]

[arturius]

RPGs?

[He needed less modern friends. He hated having to clarify these things all the time.]
