Entry #A-15: "Accomplishments" [Video]

[Lazarus' number is written on a blackboard with a piece of chalk, opening a connection to the network. Dim light streams in through the high, dusty windows, falling on broken-down desks in a decrepit, once-grand lecture hall. A broom leans in the corner, along with several trash bags; Lazarus himself is wearing crummy clothes and more than a little breathless and sweaty. You would be too, if you'd been working on solo renovations for hours.]

If any of you are familiar with the building that was formerly the Willow Ridge Boarding Academy in Locke City... like back in the 1970's... it's ours now. It was briefly a linen processing facility but it wound up being foreclosed on when the company went bankrupt, so I went ahead and bought it from the bank. Under a different name, of course.

[He takes a second to shrug out of his sweater, draping it across one of the desks.]

The building's big, with a spacious basement. I want to move Project Jump as soon as possible to this new location, since both I and Espresso Yourself are too well-known at this point and I don't think it's safe for it to remain. I can rent a truck but the more discreet the move is, the better. It has to happen very soon. In the meantime... I'm going to continue to work on renovations. Security. Furnishing accommodations... on that note, if anyone has any computer monitors, servers or any other equipment they're willing to sell or donate, I'm more than interested.

[He returns to what he was doing before he opened the connection, which is, apparently, using an axe to break apart unsalvageable desks and bagging up the resulting debris to clear some space.]

[ it takes Shou a little longer to get out of the truck - he wanted to make sure that all proper brakes were in place because the last thing he needed was the vehicle to try to run him over when he wasn't looking. he stretched and looked at the old school for a moment and then nodded, pulling on some gloves to protect his fingers. he can heal but he doesn't want to bleed all over the place. ]

Let's give the elevator a look first. That way I've got a better idea on how to get the machine on it in case it is okay for the trip.

That's probably the better way to do this. There's an access point from the outside...

[He nods, leading the way around the large, dark building. His repairs, while amateur and not always pretty, have been obsessive and careful and the building is better off for them.

As they approach the access point for the freight elevator, though, his steps slow and he seems slightly nervous.]

It's here. The doors work sometimes and I think the cable's in good enough condition, but the wiring is just bad.

[He pulls aside the grate-like door; the elevator is ancient and resembles a large, rickety cage.]
