[ She was getting pretty lucky the fire didn't do much damage or hurt anyone she knew - that she knew about, anyway. Still, she did spent the majority working on a few different outfits for Bill, as well as a certain doll for a certain Egyptian Pharoah. There's an image with a Marinette sitting on the bed, carefully jotting notes down on a pad before she turns to the feed. ]

Phew. I think I'm really going to have to find a place of my own at this point - I'm used to keeping my workspace to a small area, but... [ Meh. She shook her head a bit. Hopping up, she turned the feed around. ]

I got some outfits done though! And I didn't forget about you Bill- have a look. [ She points at a few different outfits. ]

I was outside the wall recently too, and came across a few snakes - I don't personally LIKE snakes, but they do have some really nice patterned hides. I sketched a few down - I think I'm going to dry making a pair of pants or maybe a dress in that style, if anyone's interested in having something like this.. [ She holds up her pad to show off the sketched design. ]

And I do take requests, naturally. [ She might be heading out there again to try to find new ideas, actually. ]

[ Action for Floormates/Visitors ]
[ After her network announcement, she made her way out to the shared living area to take a break from her sewing, making her way to the kitchen area, checking on the snacks she had been cooking. In fact, the smell of delicious, tasty yummies was filling up the area quite nicely, and Marinette was willing to share with anyone. Ah, well, except for the box she was going to sneak down to Keith as a thank you later. ]

[ She giggled. ]

But if you cancelled, who would you share your snacks with?

[ A thoughtful pause. ]

I told you that one time I had to take the stairs when one of my roommates - the one that left - didn't want to let me in, right? I was pretty tempted to dunk my head in a tub of water after that. And that was after climbing the stairs both ways.

That's a good question. I guess I'd just have to find someone with less stairs to climb.

[He smirked a little.]

That bad, huh? Yeah... makes sense.

[ GASP! Keith! She looks so horrified! She even actually gasps out loud - maybe a little overexaggerated, but that's Mari for you. ]

You wouldn't really do that..would you?! [ Oh, her feelings! They have been a-wounded! ]

Mm, ten flights of stairs? It's good exercise, to say the least. I like to take the stairs when I'm not in a hurry. And.. sometimes when I am. [ More often than not though, she's been tempted to go Ladybug and just swing off from the balcony. But that was 'work' not pleasure. ]

[He was used to dramatics. He had Lance for a teammate.]

Hm... what do you think?

[As far as the stairs...]

That it definitely is.

[ She smirks. ]

I think you'd miss out on the sopapilla if you skipped out on visiting.

[ She leans back a little, glancing out at the view again. ]

I'd say I'll get a place on a lower floor when I move out, but ... I probably won't. If I have to give up a view like this, I want to at least try to find an apartment on a higher floor. [ She glances at Keith again. ]

You may be stuck climbing stairs forever.

Well, if you're going to bribe me with Mexican donuts, I might just have to suffer through it.

[He smirked a little, and then also looked out over the cityscape.]

Yeah... that's okay. The donuts are worth it.

[The company, too, but he wanted to tease her a little.]

Oh not just Mexican donuts, I'll bribe you with cookies and stuff too. It's how I keep all my friends.

[ She giggled at his emphasis, leaning against her knees a little. ]

Only the donuts? That's okay, I'll take it. I'm not picky!

[ She ohs. ]

So you're with the Perimeter Guard now right? How's it working out for you?

That's a good incentive. [He smirked a little.] One of our teammates is the same way... always cooking and finding cool new things to make.

[He nodded.]

Yeah, I am. It's working out okay. It's something to do, at least.

[ She chuckled. ]

If he shows up here, you should introduce us. We could trade recipes. [ ...not the alien ones though. She can do without those ones. ]

That's good. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have something to keep me busy. [ She just doesn't 'relax' that often. ]

What about you? Is training your hobby to relax, or do you do other stuff?

[That got a small smile.] Oh, man. He gets pretty intense about that. I'd hope you could handle it.

[He considered the next question for a moment.]

Right now, yeah. Back home, I had some other things, too, but being on a ship in space makes it hard to do some of them. Like, I didn't bring my hoverspeeder with me when we took the Blue Lion off Earth, so I don't have that... and it wouldn't work in outerspace anyway. It's not designed for it.

[ She laughed. ]

Both of my parents are bakers. I know from intense, especially when a special event, promotional or holiday is coming up. I think I can handle it. [ Actually, some of that 'intensity' was kind of terrifying. ]

Yeah, I guess it would be difficult. [ She went silent for a moment, thinking. ]

Something like that I guess only works in lower atmosphere like around here?

Good. If he ends up here, then I'll make sure you guys meet. [He smiled a bit. Hunk was a good guy. He had a feeling they'd get along, and not just because of the food thing.]

Yeah. The turbines it uses to hover create air cushions for it to float on, so, without air, it doesn't move.

Cool, then we can both join culinary forces. [ Better watch that diet of yours, Keith! She grinned. ]

And it was about the size of a motorcycle right? Only it's not sentient like the Lions so it probably isn't going to come puttering through the portal. Do you think there's anyone here that could make one?

[ There were probably a whole bunch of eccentric folk who tinkered with gadgets and things like that. A hoverspeeder would probably be easy. ...if they had the parts. ]

There's a scary thought.

The speeder's a bit bigger because it's got the turbines that make it hover, and a tail fin for stability, but it's basically a lot like a motorcycle with some extra parts. But, yeah, it's not sentient. It's just a vehicle.

I'm not sure about making one, though. I mean, the turbines can be tricky to keep calibrated right.

[ Scary thought? Hmph! She chuckles at the response. ]

Maybe for your waistline. [ She shook her head with a grin. ] Seriously, Don't worry, I'd share the wealth with everyone and not just you. [ So he can stay fit and trim! If he can resist the deliciousness. Though she supposes he could help himself and then just do some major league exercise. ]

[ The point about the turbines.. right, right. ]

Oh - I guess that's true. And then things like that probably aren't even around anywhere. At least not for the size that you'd need. [ Too bad though! ]

[He chuckled as well.]

Alright. I won't worry, then. [And, really, he wouldn't. Between stupid crazy teenage boy metabolism and his overactive training regimen, Keith wasn't likely to be anything but wiry any time soon.]

Yeah... Though, I've heard people get stuff from home on occasion. Maybe that'll show up, too.

[ Yay for teenager metabolisms! ]

Well I can confirm that happening - when I first arrived during one of this place's festivals - the ones they seem to have every month - I got a picture of a friend from back home. [ She kind of would have rather had a photo of her parents, but the picture she got was good too. ]

That sounds like a nice thing to get.

[Keith wouldn't have minded pictures of certain people. Others he could probably do without... but a picture of the whole team would have been nice to get.]

[ She's silent a moment, thoughtful, and finally nods. ]

Yeah, it is. I mean.. it's weird that that's what shows up of all things, but... still. [ She pointed curiously. ]

What would you ask for, if something small came through the portal for you like that? I mean, if you had a choice. [ She didn't, but she wasn't complaining. ]

[Keith lowered his gaze for a bit, staring off into the distance for a moment as he considered it.]

I'm not sure. I never really had a lot of stuff back home.

[ HRMMM. ]

Can I take a guess?

[ Totally gonna guess what kind of stuff he had. Or would have. SHe may even make serious guesses! ]

[He shrugged.]

Okay.

[He was curious of what she thought.]

[ Having finished her treat, she sat back to study Keith at length, thoughtful. ]

Hrrm. I guess... books on astronomy, a piece of exercise equipment like weights or something? [ She kind of ponders if he's a tidy person or not. He doesn't -seem- like a slob, but you can't really judge that kind of thing. She'll take that risk though. ]

I'll bet you're not a slob though. And you have a secret lion plush in your closet.

[He chuckled a little.]

Sort of.

I had the books on astronomy from the classes I was taking at the Garrison. I don't really have any of my own exercise equipment, but I did make use of the base gym and the Castle's training deck. I don't really collect a lot of stuff, so you're right. I'm not a slob. But I don't have a lion plush. Honest.

[ She sat back, looking far too pleased at her successful partial guess. ]

Well, I can be satisfied with being partially right on that. [ Hrm. Maybe she'll have to be sneaky and make him a little Red Lion figurine. Sure, he doesn't collect a lot of stuff, but surely he wouldn't mind that, right? ]

But what about recreational reading?
