🎈GET YOUR ASSES TO OLIVE GARDEN🎈

Sometime in the morning on Sunday, there are little notes that have been slipped under everyone's doors. Written in markers reads the following:

Let's celebrate getting Knuckles back at Olive Garden tonight at 6pm!!!!
Also I'm bored
-Percy

…Yeah………but hey, at least these notes will be customized! Each note has two characters, but, uh, these might not be accurate to who's actually in the room. He doesn't know who everyone's roommates are, so he's just hoping for the best I guess. (Someone's note includes the new guy, More. Shizuka is also on one of these as a pink dolphin with glasses.)

Anyway, the Olive Garden seems to have some balloons floating around. With the current state of the residents, nobody seems to care! There are also chefs in the kitchen who will make whatever you ask, but pushing them around enough will get them to leave the kitchen to anyone who wants to make something. (Thank you Redd.) Drinks are available for everyone, alcohol and regular soft drinks alike, and really? The world is your oyster. … Olive? You get the drill.

What is left is what the people would consider 'history', surely. A chain of monumental events leading into one another, slowly forgetting all the little lives that were lived to shape it into what it became.

[ It was a rhetorical question, More is aware of that, but it also happened to be a good springboard for musing. ]

[ised]

Yes! That is why Ed paints. Even after Ed is gone, the things he makes will stay. Is a little moment, captured forever!

[True, it partly is to remember some things, and also to pass the time, but yeah, part of the reason is to leave something behind.]

[akademise]

Though you see me drawing right now, this is how I feel about my writing. It is proof that I was alive, that I was thinking and believing.

[ And for a time he thought it was the only kind of legacy he'd ever be able to leave, bereft of any social legacy at all. ]

I would like to see your paintings at some point, Ed.

[ised]

Ed is thinking to use walls of hideout for that, soon. Is a lot of space, if...if Jeager left some blank for others to use for art.

[Close enough, Ed, close enough. Still, even if Yeager fills the wall and later Ed's imitation of those complex patterns fill the walls completely, Ed would be willing to use the floors, or even the ceiling]

[akademise]

[ This hideout is going to be very interesting looking when all are done with it....... ]

I believe I saw some white wall remaining, here and there. So I'll look forward to your work.

[ised]

Ed will.

[Oh hey, now that he thinks about this stuff...]

People from this city had their own ways to express. Ed is sure he saw...this big shiny bean. Not sure what it is supposed to represent? But it is blinding. If sun hits it just right, it can blind you.

[Nick too is of the opinion the Chicago Bean can melt your skin off if you look at it the wrong way]

[akademise]

I assumed it to be an object of religious worship.

[ Some kind of miracle matter presumed to be shaped this way by the gods, now displayed prominently to show the might of that deity... ]

I didn't realize it was mandmade...

[ Weird bean... ]

[ised]

Gods tend to inhabit objects representing them. Is from worship by followers, enables them to do it.

You could be correct about it being of religious purposes. It could hold...a slumbering deity within. Nobody would know unless it made itself known.

[Because that's how it works in his world, at least, gods can be anywhere. Ganesh is inhabiting a statue his devout followers made, and there's an ancestral hyena god underground pretty close to where Ed lives]

[akademise]

I have heard tales of a phenomenon like that as well. One of the tribes in my world might be able to detect such a deity-turned-object through their special vision for the flow of magla... But without that, there is no way for us to tell from the outside.

[ The Chicago Bean is a dragon. Assumed possible until proven otherwise. ]

[ised]

Try knocking on surface of strange thing. See if someone replies back.

[That's half-joking. Ed's pretty sure most gods would dislike if someone did that to their dwelling, so yeah, that's bound to get a reaction if there's a deity in there]

[akademise]

If Gods were so easily coaxed out of their hiding places where I am from, theology would be very different.

[ Just knocking on the door and having God answer would be terribly inconvenient for those who want to twist belief for their own means! More finds the thought quite amusing. ]
