Sonja Late-March Catch-All

Characters: Sonja, Gene, Valdis & OPEN
Date: March 24-30
Location: The Midnight Hotel, The Welcome Center, and around the various sectors of Keeliai
Situation: People meeting with Sonja. She doesn't bite... with her teeth
Warnings/Rating: none


A: Harmless Plotting - The Midnight Hotel (Closed to Gene)

Sonja had left a message with Anton to request Gene join her in her room on the third floor when he saw him. While Sonja occasionally went down to the commons, especially to eat, it was generally tiring and she was often glad to retreat back to her room. 

So while she waited for Gene, she was holed up in her room, listening to the radio on her phone and scribbling out some math on printing costs. 


B: TableTop - The Welcome Center (Valdis & OPEN)

Sonja came to the hotel center late in the month with a stuffed satchel. She dropped it onto a table near the center of the main room and started pulling things out - wooden boxes, parchment rolls, a few sacks, and some loose-leaf paper. 

She rearranged some space on the bookcase and started to neatly stack the various materials. When she was done, she took one of the loose leaf papers, scribbled a few characters on it (some of them using some reference) and then hung it from the shelf, becoming a sign that said, in several languages including Japanese, Chinese, and Kedan - "Games."

During lulls at the center when Sonja wasn't tooling around on the consoles and crashing people's Network posts, she would take a game off the shelf and start trying to write up rules in different languages, or just for kicks, play herself. 


C: Making Rounds - Around Keeliai (OPEN)

Sonja is still making her way through the sectors, following Wan's plan of trying different combinations to solve the console message. She was getting pretty bored of that whole thing, and the only thing keeping her going was that she'd committed to it. 

It's not like she didn't like walking around Keeliai anyway. It was good exercise, and it was a good opportunity to meet people, get recognized, see new things, new people. Walking through town was her 'on' mode, and she looked a lot less likely to say 'bug off' if you approached her than normal. 

Sonja was a prodigious documentarian, and could be seen frequently taking pictures, or scribbling notes, or making person memos into her phone as she wandered around. She was also loose with her money, frequently stopping in shops and throwing a juulan or two around.

"Mm. Anton would be easier to work on," he acknowledges. "Though I'll keep China in mind, if need be." He hasn't interacted with her much yet. She unnerves him.

Gene smiles a little. He has other ways of making Tony happy. (Like cooking! Oh - get your mind out of the gutter!)

"Personally, I don't stand to benefit. But I think it's a good idea overall. We have a lot of scientifically-minded people here. Having their own space might be...beneficial."

That makes Gene laugh. "Hardly. I wish I could say this was all out of the goodness of my heart, but the scientists are better off if they're working in a lab. Then if they blow it up, they just blow that up and not something more vital."

Oh, Sonja. Nobody's ever accused him of being socially conscious before.

There we go, that's more his speed. He can be ruthlessly practical.

"Practicality is my strong suit."

He finishes his wine and replaces the small cup on the table. "I always do. Thank you for the wine."
