(with Florian having access to all of these anyway because Thrawn likes to CC his warden on...well, fucking everything)
With additional 'hey might as well get everyone involved in ship repair' from custodial, maintenance, and engine room
what do you mean you can't force people to give up their comms for updates
Aerith just glances at this, and goes 'ah, Thrawn is bored again'
why won't anyone let him put weapons on the barge
So just to check those MSE drones will start showing up suddenly in the infirmary?
Or has there been an ongoing progression I missed there?
maruah: Inside the walls to conduct regular duct cleaning, not inside the infirmary
but with a priority of 'hey if the infirmary's electrical goes down, they're number one in terms of 'get this up and running'
Gotcha gotcha. well correction: suddenly something in the ducts unannounced? XD
she'll think of something buddy
Sorry Thrawn was working in the walls a few months ago and was taping up stuf
Tendi HAS thought about working on a wearable audio-only comms setup as backup in case handheld communicators are out of reach, lost, etc.
The reason I am looking for clarification is because there is a chance Vincent would look to question it aggressively. which i mean wait til it passed by a vent and grab it
which i would totally work through details with but he probably doesn't feel like reacting well to unknowns. XD
Thrawn kinda throws stones into still ponds to see what happens so this is totally cool by me
I mean I am pretty sure you can't actually make changes to the comms
B thinks that's the case too and is gonna say so
thrawn; then whyyyy are we using these things as if they were standard issue. D: we should make our own.
he is ridiculous ignore him
literally everyone here just trying to graduate and Thrawn's like "we should make a BATTLESHIP"
If he checks the netting, it’s in perfect condition. Taylor maintains it daily.
Yeah Walter couldn't even attach earbuds to his comm lol
He's been kicking himself for 6 months not picking up walkie talkies at the contemporary port
TheHats: Totally. His worry (that he talked with Rawne about) is that the alarm system was connected to Hunter, who is now gone.
So he's more like "we should not attach an alarm system to a single person" and start revamping based on that
That’s fair, there’s currently no alarm on it except for her, because she can feel it.
Would it be reasonable to include her on that filter if it's obvious she's been repairing the nets?
thanks o\ sorry that my character is like. fucking ridiculous.
If he hasn’t seen her down there herself, there are still always spiders down there working.
honestly the way he observes shit, he probably is interested in both
So Sebastian can't see most of this, but somewhere deep down he's making heart-eyes at this post. Organisation <3333
the amazing ability to distract yourself from any actual personal work, sir
it absolutely actually isn't sir
If he’s not doing a million projects at once then he’ll sink into worse things
This is the best method of graduation!
Stop. Being. Useful. For. Five. Seconds. And. REFLECT.
(Stare in Space Autism, with a benefit of Disassociation through Art)
That just means you need it MORE you loonybird
…Florian you also occupied yourself with many projects
/gestures
SIR YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS
He’s just talking to him rn!
all I'm seeing is a bunch of work for the dopamine and avoid problems it's greay
that's because you're not seeing all of the assignments given to him that he's fucked off on
your homework is late, Thrawn
Thrawn! you haven't done your assignments? she can't you more if you haven't done your other work!
it’s all emotional labor
very hard work. she'll make some coffee to help
Florian is TRYING not to push this but you are not complying in good faith, sir
you haven't filed the proper paperwork for extensions either
you just keep ignoring it
you haven't filed the proper paperwork for extensions either - the sound I just made
florian he seeks usefulness in eeeverybody
Except, apparently, your warden
who despite being complimented numerous times YOU WILL NOT LISTEN TO
tsks, seems that someone isn't good at following instructions
...Thrawn getting teamed up by Florian and Aerith might be effective but also hilarious
giant chiss bullied by smols
honestly yeah that might work. he's a squirmy blue man
I'm just picturing him squirming in a chair while Florian and Aerith stare down at him, disappointed
Thrawn and Florian’s back and forth is always v entertaining
at Florian is going to make a bigger mountain over this than if Thrawn murders someone
because at least Thrawn murdering someone, he assumes it would be for a very specific purpose and would require decisive action
i often track them just because they're delightful
florian you know him so well
this, on the other hand, is you seeing your own way as best and not wanting to listen to anyone else and just DOING things without considering the way it reflects on you and impacts your relationships and the perception of you and ALSO is you just thinking you're always best and not listening to other people
(saying this twice was intentional because you're REALLY BAD ABOUT IT)
thrawn: but what if my way is best tho
Florian: Unless your people are uncontested leaders of the galaxy who have made an entirely peaceful, crime free empire wherein all are amply provided for, that is not a certainty and you can sit down and listen for once.
thrawn: wow okay don't let the quest for perfection eliminate all the good I do for this ungrateful ship
"Oh yes, dramatics, definitely the way to win an argument with me"
also your sample sizes are upsettingly small, sir
honestly though the incident he's talking about was like only between fifty people at most
but yes he is dramatic thanks for noticing bestie
just don't let him build a gravity well
don't make him pull out the newspaper
Thrawn is the fuck around and Florian is the find ou
Congrats to Thrawn for arriving at the same conclusion Zack & Richter reached a while back about people not wanting to do anything productive
THAT’S WHAT THE STINK CONSEQUENCE WAS FOR, BRO
Take a shit or get off the pot
I have a character on deck who's an apartment superintendent. IDK if he'll go in custodial or maintenance, but he's just going to sigh and Get The Job Done.
Florian: everyone is useful. how they're useful is something you have to figure out.
nammah Thrawn: Yeah I exiled my best buddy to a place where he was the only one of his species and didn't really discuss anything. BUT I LEFT HIM MY DIARY SO HE KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM
eli: legit what the fuck is this lol
Aerith: Um????
see stuff like this is why I love Aerith and Thrawn's relationship, especially when she kind of calls him out
he will weasel out of this like a little weaselly guy but I love Aerith
oh he absolutely will but this is another thing she's just going to be like gently put this on her checklist of
"he is so bad with people"
He's a really good teacher but a REALLY BAD FRIEND
and it's not really malicious, it's obliviousness!
oh absolutely, he just...needs a nudge
"..I'm small enough that honestly, it's the same difference for me."
"...you want to vent or shove Florian?"
I read that as shave Florian
which i also think someone should do
"I've never been able to grow facial hair, thank you."
"And that depends on how difficult he's being."
"Scale of one to ten on how difficult he is right now?"
"thrawn levels of difficult :|"
Thrawn has his own difficulty scale
I mean...sometimes Aerith does want to shake Thrawn a little
Everyone does. I’m so glad I’m writing him in character
Tendi's so tempted to hit him sometimes and then has to go "no we don't hit men anymore stop that brain"
Thrawn this is why you kept getting court martialed
Thrawn can you just nooooot?
Nope. 110% energy or -50%
he's noticed. what with the -50% energy put to your personal rumination.
give him artwork florian. give him a war zone, give him a starship in crisis. anything else.
it's almost like maybe that's why your emotional health is in ruins because you don't actually attend to it
different interpretation of 'ruins' :| just feel regret quietly in your office forever that's fine
I like how Florian is projecting all this baggage on thrawn being so presumptuous and meanwhile Walter is the ONLY ONE digging his heels in on a perceived issue with the proposed calendar system
Not saying anyone is wrong or right, just very funny to me so many people are like "shrug" (from what I'm reading)
Florian's an accountant by trade, and a scientist by hobby. He's genuinely offended.
and he doesn't even work in this department!
also it's less that he thinks that people WOULD have a problem with it and more that Thrawn is being Thrawn in not taking the five seconds to check.
that lack of check, especially when he could have almost certainly gotten a 5 second 'oh yeah, that's fine', like the fact that the check wasn't made, is his main sticking point.
He’s a very “ask for forgiveness instead of permission” person except he doesn’t even ask for forgiveness
(Let’s be real, he was exiled because people were sick of his shit)
Florian: You can't. make. allies. if everyone. gets. annoyed with you. no matter. how. smart. you. are.
Florian: FIVE SECONDS OF CHECKING and you still get what you want. You big baby.
Aerith feels this to her bones Florian
they really need to team up to bully help Thrawn
Thrawn: this is what aides are for.
Please refer to his secretary for appointments
Florian: ...I am not your secretary.
Florian: You don't have a secretary. ALSO NO.
he’s gonna try hiring Justine to handle social engagements
Aerith vetos this, bad idea Thrawn no thank you
Thrawn. Have you SEEN the network?
pictured, Florian:
Oh my god. I love that meme. NOW. Would Thrawn love or hate that they all go in the square hole?
Aerith just like. face in her hands Thrawn
