Who: ALL
When: Day 34, morning-noonish
Where: YOUR cabin, yes yours

[good morning and hello teams, someone's knocking at your door. sure she probably could have sent a text for whatever she's about, but hey when you know where everyone lives anyways...!]

Knock, knock!

[alternatively, what do you all get up to on your home time?]

[80H answers the door, wearing Jasmine casuals: a long, layered, flowing skirt, and a bunched top. she is wearing slippers and an apron.]

Ah good morning, Miss Eliza. How may I help you?

Good morning! It's not anything super important— were you busy?

No, not at the moment. Please, do come in.

[she will step aside to let her do so if she so wishes]

[she will! honestly mostly just for curiousity, she likes seeing the inside of other teams' carriages]

Thanks! It's just something super quick. I actually wanted to ask if you'd like to see my lab?

...You would be willing to allow me to see your workspace?

[it's obvious from her tone that she does not think that is Done.]

Sure! I've only just gotten the space so I don't have any big projects up and going yet.

Very well, but first, may I offer you any refreshments? Tea? Coffee?

Oh I won't say no to coffee.

How do you take yours?

Double cream, double sugar.

[80H sets a fresh pot on and retrieves the cream from the fridge and the sugar from the cupboard.]

I must admit, I am confused--were you looking for anyone to show your lab?

No? I think there's only two or three people here that are going to care about a necromancy lab.

This seems really limiting for a bond.

[which is what her assumption is, because CLEARLY eliza couldn't just want to see her and show her something cool]

But I suppose it isn't as though we are limited in how many of those we can do. At any rate, I would not underestimate the curiosity of some people here, even if they do not have dealings in magic. Would you care for some cookies?

Yes please!

[heck YES cookies]

Does looking at a lab count for a bond? Cool if it does, but I don't think you'll actually learn that much from it? It's not even standard for workshops, I just modeled it off of my one at home, and that was a custom job.

I have never seen a lab or studio that was geared specifically for necromancy.

[even if she ssssssssssort of dances around it in her specialty but we won't talk about that.

serving her COFFEE AND SOFT COOKIES as she invites her to take a seat at the very lovely breakfast bar. Jasmine's kitchen space is very obviously upgraded to martha stewart levels]

I am sure it could be a learning experience if you wished it to be. Already: what is customised about it?

Thank you! This is so nice.

[sits, openly admiring. this is so much cozier than her culinary operating level of 'cereal is a part of a balanced breakfast, lunch, and dinner']

Oh, well, the main thing is space. I need some pretty wide arrays normally, and especially if I'm working with larger specimens— I need room for the circles, for the skeleton, for my familiars, for me, and for all the rest of my stuff. Like storage! If I'm keeping multiple specimens on hand, which I am, then I need to have room to sort things by individual and species, and there needs to be environmental and material controls so nothing gets degraded. That's not so much a concern here since I'm not doing fossil work and my familiars are in stasis, but I have some custom cabinets at home that have their own vent fans to keep the humidity so stable. Oh! And I have a necropsy sink! That's a big thing for here!

[she's listening raptly, very obviously interested and nodding along at points. she completely understands the need for space, at times, though eliza's needs are particularly unique. amane doesn't need space for individually large specimens, but for something else.]

I see, those are sensible specifications.

[see, she's LEARNING STUFF]

There's nothing in there that isn't useful! I've got extra worktables and a great new desk too, so I can work multiple projects at a time— and it's all on wheels, so it's repositionable for whatever I need! The room fits the work, not the other way around.

What sorts of projects will you be undertaking now that you have such a versatile space? Congratulations on it, as an aside.

[probably hella earned dem sparks to get it]

Thanks! And first thing first, I'm going to animate one of those viper skeletons you brought a while ago. There were a couple theories I was thinking on, and I'll probably still try the color-referencing process just to see how it works, but that's only one skeleton. With this space and the number of single-source specimens I have, I can set them up in sequence and use their group draw to make for an extra-attractive host despite the soul-body mismatch.

[She's answering in a flowing sort of blue skirt and tunic with a violet sash.]

Hello, Eliza.

[was padding around Jasmine as a wolf when Eliza came in; shifting back into a human after eavesdropping a bit]

Ohh? What's this?

Oh, hey! I'm just stopping by.

Hi! Do you have a quick second?

Certainly. What do you need?
