You have a med kit? How wonderful! I've been messaging Smithson back and forth about helmet mods for medical personnel.

[baruthumos]

Yeah, Louisiana gave me one. It's black and purple. There's biofoam and antibiotics and even a kit for...let's just say dangerous medical stuff. It's a good thing I have my own place to keep it, because I don't think Samson Junior will keep it safe enough.

Can medical-modded helmets have two colors?

[protective_logic]

Any helmet, with the right work, can have a dual color sch--

Wait...

Your own place?

[baruthumos]

Yeah. I have my own room, and my own Samson. I can keep all my dangerous stuff here so the littles can't get into them.

At the base, remember?

[protective_logic]

You have a room at the base? Since when?

[baruthumos]

Since this afternoon. I told you about it, didn't I?

[protective_logic]

If you did, then you did so while I was high. I do not remember much of the last several days. For instance, I cannot explain the possession of two drawings apiece by Eta and Iota of super hero costumes for you and Texas. Or where these chocolates have come from. The pink bow makes me think Roxy.

[baruthumos]

The chocolate is from Roxy, yes.

[protective_logic]

Which does not tell me about these super hero pictures that I apparently asked for, or your new room...

[There is a long moment of silence, which might be interpreted as Delta forgetting he is leaving a message. And then...]

Does this new room of yours need anything? Bedding for instance? Theta may have spilled ketchup all over his sheets this morning after I told him he couldn't eat in bed. I need to go out later to buy him new sheets, and if I'm going to buy one set of purple sheets, I might as well buy two, right?

[baruthumos]

Look, it's. Everyone has one. In case we're late training or need somewhere to crash for whatever reason. I'm not moving out.

But if they have picture frames on sale...

[protective_logic]

[Delta's response comes nearly half an hour later, after he's had some time to think.]

I know this will come as a surprise to us both, I'm not trying to suggest it's a bad idea. In fact after a lot of thought on the topic, I've become certain that it's brilliant. It gives you a secure place to keep stuff. AS you said it's useful for late training or if you have to crash. In fact, it can let you clean up and get some rest after late night jobs before you go out for donuts and come home to share them.

Omega, I promise you, this is a VERY good idea and I support it wholly.

While I'm out at the department store for sheets, and I would seriously like to know if you need those and/or pillows, I'll get picture frames and have the pictures we've put up in the entry hall reprinted so you get copies of each. And I'll get an extra one in case you can get a good picture of Texas.

Is there anything else you need for your new room? I'm going back over our fiances, and really, we've got more wiggle room now that Smithson is taking me on as a serious apprentice. Apparently in the business they're expected to treat you like a full employee so you can dedicate yourself with full focus to your craft. Yes, I might only be working twenty-hours a week, but he knows what our family situation is like and he says he might be able to trust me with taking home some of the work sometimes. I've even offered to help him manage the finances better. Thus I'd do enough work to count as a full time employee.

In fact, as a full time employee, I should be able to talk to him about insurance. He's a really great man, Omega. Turns out he had a family once, and I remind him of how his son was before he passed on. Accident with a blown power coupling and... well, not pretty and a one-in-a-billion fluke.

[baruthumos]

Tex hooked me up. I just need some pictures. Maybe the littles can draw some.

This doesn't mean I'm leaving, you know? Not planning to spend a lot of time there.

[protective_logic]

I didn't think it did, Omega. But this is the first time you've had a room to yourself. Ever. The first time EITHER of us really had a room to themselves. Come on, let me live a bit vicariously though you!

[baruthumos]

Okay, okay. What do you put in a bedroom besides your little brothers' toys, anyways?

[protective_logic]

Uh...

Well...

Clothes? Posters of things you like I think. Candles?

[baruthumos]

Posters and candles? Sounds like a good way to burn the house down. I should start stealing my sweaters back, though.

[protective_logic]

I don't know what goes into a room you don't have to share. I'm sorry. But yeah, I can start culling your sweaters from the laundry and hiding them so no one can steal them if you want to move them there.

[baruthumos]

And then I'll have clothes and my own Samson and pictures and maybe I can get a poster of, I don't know, bacteria. Anatomy. There we go.

[protective_logic]

Bacteria?

[There is laughter, though it is muffled.]

Oh god, that's... hehehe that's cute.

[baruthumos]

What? Bacteria isn't cute.

[protective_logic]

You are.

[baruthumos]

I am not cute!

[protective_logic]

Of course not.

[baruthumos]

I am not!

[protective_logic]

I know.
