I'm now reminded I suck at Metallurgy.

And I should find that lemonade recipe I put in one of my cooking books.

...Metallurgy and lemonade, Noriko-san?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Yes. Working with metal and a drink consisting of sugar, lemons, and water.

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

I'm... more curious about what you were trying to do that had to do with working with carious metals than I am about the lemonade, in all honesty.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

What, I'm not allowed to work with metal and smithery just because I like to get manicures?

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

No.

Just wondering what you were up to. It's interesting. I didn't say you couldn't. I'm just wondering what you were up to.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Oh. Pet project I keep putting off.

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

Ah.

Not going to go into any more detail, I imagine?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Why spoil the surprise?

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

Good point.

I look forward to observing how this plays out.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

You should look to the side.

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

...Look to the side?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Or something.

... Hm.

I found Mew under the Truck.

[misplacedspirit.livejournal.com]

....what.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I found Mew under the truck.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... Just what are you doing?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I just said.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Well, I more meant "what are you doing that would involve working with metal", but...

I mean, the "manicure" part just confuses me even more.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Personal hobbies.

A manicure is a beauty treatment for one's fingernails.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

I know that.

I'm wondering how the two are related.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I could chip my nails while working with metals, dear.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... Ah, okay.

... Still leaves me confused as to why you'd work with metals in the first place, but...

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I like making things?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... Well, that at least explains it a bit more.

... Though I guess my question of "So what are you making" won't be answered, given that "why spoil the surprise" up there.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Correct.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Damn. Now my curiosity is gonna bother me until I find something else to occupy my mind with.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I can help with that if need be.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

How would you be able to help?

No matter what you are told, until I say "Snugglepuss", you will believe, without a doubt, that Hikari Hoshi, Futaba Shiroko, and Jeanette Dianne Grave are very much pregnant, and you will ignore this thread and not comment to this post and go be very angry at them.

... Metallurgy isn't that hard, though. Just a fair amount of memorization. Although there's something to be said about what causes someone to state that.

[yagokoro-eirin.livejournal.com]

I'd argue otherwise. It requires quite a bit of practice and development of muscle memory...

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

And actual muscle. Hrm. Perhaps I should go to the gym.

[justbooksmart.livejournal.com]

Practice that is easily done if you carry a reference book and marked it well. Or got it from someone else. But yeah. It's memorization, Ms. Yagokoro.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Oh. Good suggestion. I suppose I should pick up a few.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm aware. It's just strenuous when you have the figure of a single mother of 5.

[justbooksmart.livejournal.com]

... Fills in the gaps just fine. Your time is probably spent in other things, too.

I actually have a nice book which I got from someone that helps quite a bit. If you wish, I could lend it, since I'm not using it.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Yes. Keeping an eye on teenagers and filing paperwork. For the most part. And figuring out how to perfect Mushu Pork.

Would be lovely.

[justbooksmart.livejournal.com]

Food sounds like an excellent way to pass the time.

A location and a target time would be perfect for deciding when to drop off the book.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Osiris Red offices would be preferred.

[justbooksmart.livejournal.com]

... On the island, then. I'll drop it off sometime during the week.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
