[ Draft 6 ] Temple of Tschat

[metharchy]

[Meth clicks her com on, and after a moment of strained breathing, she speaks.]

Files returned. Temple complete. Hm, hope he approves...

All done on passenger decks.

[There's no disguising the fact that this fact makes her relieved. Then she pauses a moment...seemingly distracted by something. A moment later, Meth continues speaking.Since there'

[ttlynotawizard]

That's good news! Now get some rest or a drink!

I can't wait to see what's been done with the temple. I'll head down there later.

[metharchy]

No rest when there's work to be done. Always more, more--

[She pauses, covering her comm. Meth takes a shallow, wheezing breath before uncovering her comm again.]

--more to do, Whitecastle.

[ttlynotawizard]

Remy.

Are you all right, Meth?

[metharchy]

Whitecastle.

[Another pause, and then there's the sound of chewing.]

M'fine just swallowed some dust.

[morequartersplz]

Is it a girl's only treehouse?

[metharchy]

Should it be?

[morequartersplz]

It should be a "no Chases allowed" treehouse. Just to mess with him.

[metharchy]

That could be arranged.

[Oh Jane. Two short sentences and Meth is almost inclined to like you. There's a small chuckle in reply.]

Who are you? Voice sounds familiar...

[talkback_stein]

...What.

[He sets down the communicator and scrambles off of the floor of his poor excuse for a treehouse. He removes the single bud headphone he had blasting music in one ear as he checked messages, looking out of his approximation of a window over at the neighbouring treehouse.]

[He lets the sight of it sink in for a moment.]

[It is amazing.]

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS.

[metharchy]

[At the noise, Meth opened one of her windows and leaned against the sill. She smirks at Chase while giving him a small wave.]

Something wrong?

[Meth looked pleased with herself, though she was trying hard not to. If Chase wasn't too distracted by the tree house, he might notice the bags under Meth's eyes, or how her face was starting to get a bit gaunt.]

[1/2]

[talkback_stein]

[Chase is choked.]

That's not a treehouse -- that is a house in a tree!

[2/2]

[talkback_stein]

...

There's a difference!

[pimp_hat]

[Kevas is standing outside of the new tree house, just staring.]

So...dis house to free to use whenevah?

[metharchy]

[She peeked her head out the door at the sound of Kevas below and shrugged.]

Access can be requested...

[Meth had half a mind to keep this place for herself, or at least limit access so it wouldn't get wrecked by passengers. Who was to say any of them would give it the same care she did?]

You can come up now if you like.

[pimp_hat]

[He doesn't waste a moment climbing the stairs.]

Dis...dis place be amazin'.

[Chairs, couches, lamps (how she got electricity into a tree is beyond him), and holy crap a mini-bar!]

[metharchy]

[As the top half of the door was already open, Meth opened the bottom half and stepped aside for Kevas. She watched him examine the room with interest. He was the first to see the finished product, and what artist didn't like having their work admired?]

Thank you. Help yourself if you want a drink.

[Meth flopped into one of the chairs and lifted her legs up over one of the arms.]

[oblique_wisdom]

[Sheik seems to know exactly what files Meth's talking about. Now he has a name and a voice to go with the one responsible for the blueprints of Kakariko Village.

He'd really like those back.]

...Hm.

[Zelda will be happy to know the temple's renovations are now complete.]

[metharchy]

Hm?

[oblique_wisdom]

Nothing.
