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

[dead_black_eyes]

[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.]

What kind of equipment?

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

I must have missed the "Protect Jump" memo. What is that, exactly?

[Rakka was a little surprised to see L like that, but she was even more surprised by his plan.]

Will that... work? Do you think we'll be able to move it to there?

[ursoreckless]

I've got a few things that might be useful. I can also borrow some moving stuff too.

Why do you need computers?

When you're done setting up your computers, I'll set up the security for you. Apparently, Tieria was a computer genius and I echoed back his skill for it.

Project Jump? Is that what you were talking about earlier?

Need a hand? I can spare two.

I may be persuaded to part with a good amount of money, if it's needed.

Plus, I can do some of the heavy lifting.

Do you need any help breaking things down? I could transform and go over there--it's not immediately obvious as to what I am when I travel that way.

[Even if there's still spandex and a shiny silver helmet.]

[Well, Toushirou can't say he's familiar with the place, because when you're twelve, the 1970's are ancient. But that's hardly important.]

Probably hasn't been safe there for a long time, really. [Maybe from the start, even. But they'd needed a place for the thing and they'd needed it fast.]

I can probably ask my dad if he has any spare computer stuff to use for the place and if he'll consider throwing in some money for furniture.

I'm not really sure what else I can do aside from that though.

[ruleorserve]

I might be able to help some with security, assuming you mean the automated type, and not the sort to involve people.

As for moving Project Jump itself, perhaps if anyone has anything like teleportation? That would at least avoid the risk of having it out in plan sight, or anything that could be plain sight.

8ut will the new place do coffee?

Super late, sorry!

[greenisthenewblack]

You're setting up a secret base in an old school? I'd like to see that. It's a good idea. [If a little Saturday morning cartoon, on the surface. But hell, this was hardly the strangest development lately. And it was crazy enough to work, at least for a little while.]

Come to think about it, we've got a handful of kids who can't attend regular school anymore, and at least two out of work teachers. It's your space, but...
