[ I THINK PEOPLE HAVE OOCLY/IN META BEING LIKE WE SHOULD ASK FOR LOCKS SINCE W0 BUT NOBODY APPARENTLY ACTUALLY ASKED FOR LOCKS

The development of the cavity magnetron in the United Kingdom made possible the production of electromagnetic waves of a small enough wavelength (microwaves) to efficiently heat up water molecules. American electrical engineer Percy Spencer is generally credited with inventing the modern microwave oven after World War II from radar technology developed during the war. Named the "RadaRange", it was first sold in 1947.

What's a microwave oven...? ]

A record player could be pretty nice, actually?

[ what era is daan from

It's a portable oven that heats quickly using radiation waves. ]

We'll have to ask for records to go with it. What's your favorite kind of music?

[ 1942. But also America kind of doesn't exist in his world, not in the same way. ]

I don't particularly have one... I don't think I'm that picky. If it sounds nice, it works.

[ no america? no problem. ]

All music is lovely, but each song and genre has its own charm, it's own beauty, its own power. You don't have to be picky to have a preference...

Maybe it's better if I say I don't know my genres enough to be that picky. Jazz is alright?

[ !!! she's basically this, sparkles and music notes and all. ]

What a lovely selection. And so it will be done.

[ after the weekend gauntlet. ]

[ Oh... cute... it's kind of indistinct but she can get the thought vibe that he thinks this is cute. ]

...Great. Could be a nice thing for morale then.

[ she is here for morale.... if nothing else. she clasps her hands. ]

It would be nice to have something for morale other than parties and gatherings.

[ she is social, but she's not an extrovert and the vibes are about to get a little rancid in the next few hours. ]

I'm surprised people still have the energy to keep trying to put them together.

[ Anisphia, girl. You tried. Some part of Daan appreciates the effort even if he refused to turn up. ]

Good for them, I suppose... picking up scraps at this point.

They're doing what they can... We have the will yet to rise again.

But more options without all those games... will be more inclusive of those who prefer to be on the fringes.

The little things, rather than purposeful actions, basically.

Not exactly in the mood to drink and socialise after the amount of corpses we've seen, but distractions would be decent, broadly speaking.

[ she nods. ]

The new small library is a nice touch in that effect.

Oh... yeah.

That was Rondo's idea.

It is a sweet idea. More avenues for respite.

You probably read, right...?

[ Like... not that he'd fully assume given people assume he also reads, but. She seems erudite. I say this like Daan doesn't read he CAN it's just not like, a huge hobby for him. ]

[ probably..... ]

I enjoy reading, but it's not my hobby or my first choice of what to do in my free time. I read a lot when I was a child.

That's more than me anyway.

Just figured it'd be a nice thought if you were getting something out of it too.

It's not as easy to delve into my usual hobbies here, but I do get something out of anything I can.

What are your usual hobbies?

I like looking for and collecting old and forgotten songs. [ a beat. ] Or I like going out into town incognito.

Is the second one a hobby...? I've never been under public scrunity, so I guess I wouldn't know.

[ her thoughts are noticeably blank in answer to that question. wowie. ]

It is in how I choose to change my appearance enough that I'm not recognized.

Hm. Well.

Sorry that this is how you spend your newfound obscurity.

The reality is what it is. It is hard to be obscure when there are only so many of us. You're more famous than I am here.

[ in whatever definition of fame you wish to choose. ]

[ WHAT A STATEMENT. ]

I don't see why that would be.
