[Look who is back in town. Your friendly neighborhood blue woman. She offers a wide smile when she does so. Isn't that polite of her. Even waves.]

Hello all. I have returned from the Not Temba and brought some things for those who are interested. But along the way I discovered something distressing. Is it true that the ships have locked us out? This is distressing.

Ah, but that wasn't what I had come to say.

[The camera turns away from her and instead turns to take in an open part of the first floor of the civics center. She'd been doing her best to expand her whole gym area and now she had an idea.]

This is a nice, load bearing wall, and it has occurred to me nothing happens here. But when I was in the other city-town I saw that their space that isn't too unlike this one had many things clearly designed for climbing. It struck me that this might be a fun activity to work on strength.

Of course my question is how I would execute such a thing here. Does anyone have ideas?

[She is excited about the idea of a climbing wall. But given she'd never seen one before, she doesn't even know how to explain her desire properly.]

[a blue woman. cool.]

You put things on the wall to grab on to. That is at the civics center, yes?

[kree_soldieress]

[Yes, a Kree. Who would tower over you, Sokovian man.]

That is a thing? What are these things like? How do I make them?

And yes, I wish to expand the gym and training center I have made. Clarice and Keith do very good at helping the obstacle courses stay nice, but nothing quick covers this new urge I have to climb.

[margenes]

[he will consider it super neat once it happens.]

They are different shapes. Sometimes small, sometimes big. [very helpful] I do not really know how to make them. Just things to grab on to.

I have gone to the gym. It is very nice so far. Do you know about parkour? You could climb a building, not necessarily a wall.

[kree_soldieress]

[Those descriptions do not help. She is having trouble understanding.]

What is Parkour? And if I climb a building I could fall and become hurt. Even if gravity here is a bit weak.

[tempredmental]

You mean like... a rock climbing wall?

[Though, Keith is concerned about the ships thing. She did say that wasn't her primary purpose for the call, though, so he'd wait and ask her about it later in the conversation.]

Re: [ video ]

[kree_soldieress]

[Yes, the ships thing is distressing in its own way.]

A rock climbing wall?

Re: [ video ]

[tempredmental]

Uh, yeah... some exercise places back home have 'em. They're basically big walls with like knobs and weird shapes attached that people can hold on to and step on in order to climb them. It's supposed to simulate climbing up the face of a cliff or something.

[kree_soldieress]

The face of a cliff. Hmmm, maybe I should try first on the cliffs near the beach... Have you tried climbing on them?

[fatedsacrifice]

[This is an odd concept of sorts for the guy who's spent so very much time climbing up and down ladders in dungeons and climbed rocks, jogged, ran, hiked and did all sorts of other things. Still, he has to think for a minute.]

I think we had some of these places back home.

[For the kids and people who didn't leave the Crown City that was.]

[kree_soldieress]

[Ah, he is so lucky to have encountered ladders!]

You have been to one? Can you tell me of it? Oh, I am Lauri-Ell. Hello.

[fatedsacrifice]

I uh..didn't go myself.

[He wasn't allowed to go to places like that. And then when he heard her name, he ran with that.]

I'm Noctis, nice to meet you Lauri-Ell.

A climbing wall! Lauri-Ell, that's genius, dude. Uhh, okay, you'll need like, screws and nuts, and then something to use for your hand and footholds. Back home you can buy those, but here not so much, so I bet you could just use wood. Just make em different sizes and put em at different angles. Then you just put them in and voila!

Oh, and you need a landing area, for when people inevitably fall off. And you gotta learn to fall properly if you've never done it before.

[kree_soldieress]

Ah, you are the man that Thomas kisses! Hello Kyle. Could you perhaps draw pictures of them? Or some ideas?

I wonder if the replicator will know what they are. Maybe it can replicate a picture for me?

[Wait, a landing area?]

I do not intend jet packs or to fall? Falling sounds like a bad idea.

[kyley_b]

...uh. Yeah. Yeah, I am. Hi. [Oh WOW okay. He is bright red now.]

I could, yeah, sure.

Oh, you're gonna do it with jet packs? Yeah, you should be fine then. The places on earth it's like, you either have a harness for high climbing, or if you're bouldering you have nothing at all, but you need a squishy floor.

[ms_unknown]

A climbing wall. I like it. Let me know if you want help.

[kree_soldieress]

I do very much want help!

People have been talking around it. I wish to understand it better.

The ship crews got all shuffled around, you might be on a new ship.

[Poe flashed a tired smile. He'd come back to Temba mostly to get away from his new ship.]

Cross your fingers you're not on the Flygood. It comes with a built in wake up call.

[kree_soldieress]

Yes, I was reviewing data on my Communicator when returning on the train and it allowed me access. Seems I am on a new ship. I do not mind much.

[A wake up call? That sounds lovely.]

When does it wake you up?

[happybeeps]

It's not so much the when as the how.

[Poe rubbed at his temples.]

It's a bunch of screaming birds. Screaming. Every morning. I couldn't figure out how to disable it so....back in town for a while.

[seeingscarlet]

You need ropes or a net for safety, in case someone falls. And maybe helmets too.

[Look. Have you met Pietro, any Pietro? There's a reason Wanda's first thought is safety.]

[kree_soldieress]

Has she met her not-son Thomas as well?]

I can probably acquire ropes. Maybe a net. The only helmets I know are Kree soldier helmets. They... are not comfortable.

[seeingscarlet]

[Excuse you, Tommy is a perfect angel who can do no wrong.]

Uncomfortable is probably better than nothing. I would say we could ask the Agrii for sport helmets but I don't know what we would get.

[A beat.]

I am not sure I want to see.

[heeeyadora]

[Did someone say climbing?]

Just put some junk on the wall.

[A very eloquent explanation.]

I climb in Stark's forge all the time, you just need places to jump up to.

[kree_soldieress]

What sort of junk? How do I affix it? Is it climbing if one jumps?

[These are very good to ask. They are really relevant too.]

[heeeyadora]

I dunno, just stuff. Anything big enough to fit your hands or your feet?

[Her head tilts.]

I mean- he doesn't yell at me to stop 'jumping' up there, so...
