[ When the camera comes on, anyone who knows Lyle will see a familiar face smiling back at them. Well, familiar except the eyepatch (and maybe he looks a little younger? It could just be the lighting). ]

Hi. I bet I got some of you thinking “what happened to Lyle” for a second there. Surprise, I’m his big brother. I don’t now how it’s done here, but by my estimate today is Lyle’s birthday! Consider this an invitation to celebrate with us. You don’t even have to be his friend. Come over and make a friend. No gifts required. Food will be provided.

[ Yes, he's making a finger gun at the camera before leaning in to cut the feed. What a nerd. ]

Let me know if he does. I'm curious about them myself, but engineering just couldn't hold my interest for long.

[luckyescape]

If he explains it well enough I'm going to make a model. Then we can get Lego's versions of ourselves and play with the space elevator.


[Freya is almost positive that Lego's have spanned worlds.]

[lockonstratos]

We might be better off with wire and papier-mâché. I can draw you a sketch f the shape and sort of give you a vague description of how it works.

[luckyescape]

I was going to use scrap parts from work but I am very skilled with glue and paste.

[She smiles at a private joke before continuing.]

A sketch would help. I can always direct any further questions at your brother since you said you didn't know the particulars.

[lockonstratos]

I might know someone who knows more of the particulars if he doesn't. It's only a matter of getting him to talk about them.

[luckyescape]

Oh? Who's that.

[Freya wonders how many people from his home world are here.]

I'm fairly decent at getting people to talk.

[lockonstratos]

Someone I know from home. Someone who's very good at giving the brush-off.

[luckyescape]

Who is it? I promise I'm hard to brush-off.

[Mostly because Freya gives no fucks.]

[lockonstratos]

Let me talk to him first. I'm not sure how he feels about talking to strangers these days.

[luckyescape]

Well I can't talk to him until you give me a name so I'll have to wait anyway. You can also trust me to keep my word.

[Freya goes through stupid lengths not to lie.]

[lockonstratos]

I'll see what I can do to get you in a room together.

[luckyescape]

Sounds dirty.

[Freya snickers to herself.]

But also sounds like a good plan.
