[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.

[ sharpe doesn't like the books. they alarm him. they upset him. they shouldn't work. they are impossible things. and so, for the most part, although he has listened and (slowly-painfully-troublingly) read, he has never replied.

not until now.

it's her. he recognizes the voice. how could he ignore it? the new feather he'd found the day after his own arrival. ]


...Filtering, Miss Molly?

[ god, but she makes him feel like he's the one who arrived a day behind.

there's a pause, then: ]
Sounds like a considerable skill.

No, ma'am. I did no such thing. The question was practically rhe-- rhe-...[ rhetorical, dammit. ]

You made that bloody leap yourself.

I'd offer to help you with the filters, kid, but it'd be the blind leading the nearsighted. I can't figure these things out worth a damn.

Hey, whenever you do figure it out, help me out with it, would you? Because these things bear several uncomfortable similarities with the internet. Which, you recall, I'm not so hot with.

[Not laughing at those failed filters. Nope, no sir. It is not oh-so-funny.

Since he's been making and breaking these filters practically since he arrived, he'll actually be helpful here.]


You talkin' filterin' somethin' so only you can read it or filterin' it so it's blocked from you? 'Cause I can arrange either one, petite.
kineticcajun: (Thievery - now with more happy!)

[personal profile] kineticcajun 2012-03-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well, in that case... A li'l reverse-engineerin' never hurt anyone.

[And he'll just go ahead and put a fairly weak filter against her on this comment, roughly 10%. There isn't much behind the filter. Just a smiley face. (What, it's totally appropriate to put behind a filter.) Enjoy your hacking, Molly!]
kineticcajun: (Wanna take dis out back?)

[voice | written twenty percent]

[personal profile] kineticcajun 2012-03-25 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
'Course. You got it.

[And he doubles it, just as requested. This time, the smiley face has a little halo drawn above it. He's no artist, but he can at least be creative about it.]

[As she's emerging from the one empty apartment on his floor, Arthur is waiting outside his room, curiosity piqued.]

I really hope this isn't your way of finding out where I live.
