Everything in the universe had come to a halt. (Book Club)

This month, the book club meets Tuesdays March 14th and 28th. It is reading The Girl Who Grew Nasty Things by Will Mara, available via written or audio formats.

Maddie Dragonette doesn't like people. A loner, she prefers to be among the rare plants she grows in her greenhouse, plants that can cause great pain. When Maddie doesn't get a part in the school play, her anger grows as wild as her nasty plants. What happens when anger and hate grow out of control?

How do you handle anger and hate? What manifests them? Are those manifestations themselves evil? Are the plants in Trench evil, sick, a natural part of the cycle?

Trench's 11… (Silent Disco)

This month, the silent disco happens Fridays March 3rd, 17th, and 31st. Headphones and music are available. Play your own music or listen to DJ's mix. (open)

Each night you will hear a mix of music from soundtracks of Ocean's 11 movies and other casino heist movies. Murderbot may mix in some other general casino and heist music to keep it fun.

They say taupe is very soothing. (Movie viewings)

Stuff-A-Squid. (Kid's Corner)

Children's programming includes building your own stuffed animal this month.

Children's programming is now an ongoing part of The Entertainment Feed. Children may come to the Kid's Corner at any time this month and build a stuffed animal of their choice. Options include squid, deer, bear, dog, raven, and trout. Other animals can also be made. Little clothes are also available to dress your stuffed animal. Murderbot thanks Sansa for helping prepare the unstuffed animals and little clothes.

We listen with more than our ears. (Docu-Lore)

Murderbot has started filming events in Trench via its drones.

Perhaps a drone sees you acting weirdly. Perhaps one accompanies you to the new city or alternate world. Contribute to the video collection of lore for Trench! (Can be arranged ICly or OOCly)

Nasty Things

"Well...it depends. I don't think they're evil or anything, but if they're going to kill people, it's better to destroy them before more people die. But...if there's a way to make them not kill people, that would be better. It also depends on what kind of thing was made. Like...if it's a person with it's own reasons for doing things, because if it's a person it can probably change, but if it's not, then probably not."

And so that leaves them to figure out if the murder plant in question is, in fact, a person.

"But if it's sentient, doesn't that automatically make it a person? But in that case...I guess it's only okay to kill it if there's no other way to stop the killing."

"Oh. I have?"

He's surprised at that, since usually adults weren't convinced of things so easily when it was a kid saying the thing.

"Well...I'm glad. Because I know some humans don't think of sea folk as people, and some sea folk don't think of humans as people, but in the end if everyone that someone didn't think was people didn't count as people, then no one would be people, so clearly I'm right."

Because it makes far more sense that everyone discussing who was people would definitely qualify as people if they could have such a discussion.

"Yeah...I hope I never stop seeing other people as not people, though."

Because the thought of turning into someone like Ercole is just horrifying.

"Oh. Right. Of course. I guess I knew that, since it was an adult human back home that convinced the other humans not to kill me."

And Massimo had even been raised to think sea monsters were evil, so there's always hope for people to turn out okay, no matter what their background was.

D finds Rin to be an acceptable person to spend time around except for the fact that they often make requests and assumptions D doesn't like.

He isn't an actor. He doesn't want to appear in videos. But he has made some allowances for things that benefit the sleeper population and Trench. They both share a common goal in creating infrastructure and reducing corruption and beast problems at their root rather than by spilling blood, even if D still does spend quite a bit of time violently solving the problem.

The plants reach for D and then recoil once any part of them gets without about three feet of him. He could extend that range further, but he chooses not to.

"Yes. You're proposing an ongoing contract or retainer contract instead of negotiating each time," D says. He's not opposed to it. So far he's provided more services at Rin's request than he's received, but Rin's work is also important for the cause they both pursue.

Even if he would prefer that it involve using his face less often.

"As long as you take efforts to avoid requesting things that will have more people following me."

D nods in agreement. It's sometimes useful, and D has certainly put it to use himself, but he hates doing so every time. It's almost as bad as commanding people.

"You're a darkblood, aren't you? I'm working on a project that will require a large amount of blood magic and darkblood in particular. If you're still a blood virgin, a virgin bloodstone is suitable payment, if not, then bloodstones every few months."

It's a payment that means D won't have to deal with her very often, and won't lead to another awkward situation of watching one another sleep or other favors D doesn't need to get specifically from her.

"Yeah, I'm glad, too. And I'm also glad that the adults here seem to know that already."

Maybe it's just because they're all from different worlds, though, so hang ups people have might not apply to anyone they might run into here. Even if they do, since they wouldn't match the ones held by everyone else around, it might be harder to justify holding onto them.

"I guess that's the advantage from us all coming from different places and times. When everyone's different, maybe people being different stops seeming so strange."

"Yeah? I guess everyone seems strange to me, since I'm the only sea monster here. Well, sort of...at the same time I guess with everyone really being a squid, everyone's a sea monster at the same time?"

It's weird, but also a kind of comforting thought. Of course, there were differences because of that background. Luca thinks he had a much easier time accepting that he's really a squid since he's always been a shape shifter, and he's always had an aquatic form as his 'real' form.

movie night preamble (aka it's before the movie)

Some of these films came out after Sarah's time, but exist in her world; some of them, she recognizes but has never seen. (One--Ocean's 11--is ambiguous on that front.) But The Pink Panther is a comfort film, and so it's hearing about that that brings her into the Entertainment Feed properly for the first time.

It's somewhere she's always meant to go, to come check things out, find out if she can obtain any of the c-dramas she'd started and not gotten to finish, but she keeps getting embroiled in plants, which is absolutely the way of things. With no other external tasks to keep her on track, days blend together.

But she's cheerfully humming the song under her breath while looking for the individual who she believes to be the proprietor, and when she locates (Most Likely) Eden Rin before the movie starts, offers a polite, "Has he been by? Moss King. If he hasn't allow me to pass along that he appreciates your selection."
