Dinari wanders over to Calithin and the others. He has a large plate of ham. These things always have ham because pig is sacred to the Manalists. Dinari doesn't mind, but the ham is making him thirsty.
"I habb my desawwnns..." Dinari says with a mouth full of ham. He hands Ariel his designs and swallows.
"It's a system of blimps that...like float around watching you...with cameras.."

(everyone rolls a dice when they post their design to me, and the highest number wins the contract. Dinari has a 6 and Tyler has a 1. So people have to roll 6 now to tie with Dinari. Don't let the blimp idea win!)
"Blimps...well, I think we would have to be pretty stupid to go along with that idea Dinari, but thank you. I will consider it thoughtfully." Ariel replies. He doesn't mind insulting Dinari.
"Dinari, do you have Calithin's plans? I really want to see them."

Dinari almost chokes on his meat when he is confronted about the plans.
"Oh yeah, I DO have them!" Dinari decides. He turns around for a moment and scribbles something on a piece of paper. It is a giant flying phallus. He hands it to Ariel. "Here is Calithin's designs. I am not sure why...Calithin was so obsessed with making THAT design. I even tried to talk him out of it. I think he's totally not taking this project very seriously."

"I really hope that Dinari's design doesn't win this competition." I state to Ariel.
"I suppose you do have a lot of power, Calithin. You could...pretty much stop everything in the world...if you stopped mining those crystals. It's ...frightening really."
I look at his design. "But you really should take this contest more seriously. People like Dinar could win if you don't step up.."

I clench my teeth and stare Dinari down.
"Why do you ruin everything? You're like... Pollution. I can't fight pollution. I'm like the sun. The sun just makes pollution worse. Then you just have... Hot pollution. Gross. Good name for a band though."
I hate so much to get trapped in my lies. It's the worst feeling ever. Especially since I think that conversation is an art and make it a point to be an accomplished artist. Everyone knows that lies are like... The impressionism of conversational art. I'm very angry with the whole situation. Mostly at myself.
"Okay fine. You got me. I didn't come up with a design. You got me. But I'm busy! So, so busy! Not all of us live in a stupid theme park city in nowhere, Florida."
I shrug my shoulders and give the Moderator a sort of awkward half smile.
"But, um... Just off the top of my head we could... Uh... Have like a satellite system that takes pictures of everything. But the sattelites would also have x-ray technology so then we can see inside as well as outside. Bam! Genius."[dice=6]

"I understand that people get busy, so it is no matter. I just hope there are enough designs submitted." Ariel replies to Calithin. "Anyway, your suggestion is very good. I will consider it. I imagine that various sattelite designs will be the most popular suggestion...with blimps...probably the only one that deviates from the sattelite design."

Momo wanders over to Ariel and hands him her designs, which are in a folder. She steals a piece of ham from Dinari's plate.
"My sattelite system...I will call it the Eyes of God. They are low flying, self launching, sattelite pods...black, with a red eye. The eye sees in infra red. I think that some sort of monitoring position or station would be useful to process and monitor the stream of images coming from the Eyes of God. So I have designs included for that as well." Momo states. She hands Ariel the folder and glares at Dinari.
"Blimps. Hmmph."[rand=11189767896761813964981893832559371472702761742675748574730958194]

"I can get you anywhere you need to go, free of charge," Freak Boy said, now examining the fine contours of an oak chest. The wood really had a pretty finish to it... the patterns were so delightfully strange. "Teleportation booths have the cheapest security I've ever seen--I mean, really... you think they'd at least have somebody monitoring the circuits, but no. They rely on simple anti-hacker programs and a firewall." He laughed a little bit.
"So, where is it you're heading? When do you need to be there?" He was energetic, but not so much so that it was offputting. He just seemed to have a zest for life.

Ceph simply watched as everyone discussed the design for the new surveillence system.. Some of these people were rather humorous to watch, so he just kept silent, once in awhile looking over to Violette. He wasn't quiet sure how to join in this conversation.. after all, the new system wasn't exactly an idea in his favor.

"Everyone thinks my blimps suck, but wait and see, someday my blimps will be watching you!" Dinari says with a raised fist.
"I bet you a ..dollar, I'll win." Dinari says to Calithin.
"I'm gonna get more punch. Talk to you guys later."
Dinari is mildly upset. His designs are awesome and he knows he is going to win. He'll show everyone!

For some reason... I feel like... It's gunna be blimps.
"Oh man. Good idea Momo. Hopefully we get many good ideas like yours. I wouldn't want to get stuck with... Blimps. Although they are neat and, I feel, a very underrated transportation option."
I sigh and remember that my father said something about his design. Maybe it will be not crazy awful. Although... Putting faith in people like that makes me uneasy. For good reasons.
"But anyway, yep. I think I need to seriously reconsider how sinister I am. You know if I ruled the world there would be so many arbitrary rules, like... No one could wear orange. Or... All music with screaming would be outlawed. Every school would teach my life history as part of their curriculum and my military would burn down 100 Mexican restaurants every Thursday."
This is, unfortunately, a pretty accurate description of what my world would be like.
"Also... Trampolines. Just everywhere."

I decide to talk to Cephrien telepathically while people are showing their designs to Ariel. "These designs will make our activities with Red Infinity more difficult. I am going to ..promote the worst of the designs to Ariel to hopefully make things easier for us."
I look at Ariel. "On second thought, the blimp idea certainly is creative. And probably a lot less expensive than the others. Anyway, it would be harder to hack into a system of blimps.." I say, in praise of the blimps.
Cephrien, I just thought of a mission for you. Maybe you can meet with Freak Boy, a member I haven't met with. I want you to talk about this newest project with him and what designs he think would be the easiest to hack into and get around... Last I heard of him...he was in Helsnki... I say telepathically to Cephrien.
I look at Calithin.
"I like Mexican food."

"These look very good. Thankyou Momo." Ariel replies. He looks over the designs and is generally impressed with them. "I like the name too...Eyes of God. I think that the Manalists would really support that." Ariel replies.
"Li, why do you suddenly like the blimp idea? It is clearly an awful idea."

Keitoleinen wanders over to Ariel and presents him with his plans. "My plans are robots...robotic birds and insects that fly around...looking natural, but spying on people. Because they are here on Earth, they could get closer and watch people more carefully. Because they look like birds or insects, people would see them everyday without thinking anything of them." Keitoleinen explains.[dice=6]

"That isn't...a terrible idea." Ariel replies to Keitoleinen.
"Well, I do hope that I get many designs. It would be nice to unviel the winning design at the end of the party. I think that Annette would really appreciate that."
(Thus far:
Tyler =1
Calithin=1
Momo=2
Keitoleinen=5
Dinari=6)
