Scene #3580: Interior Decoration With Friendsnake

Owner	Pose
Staren	When Ainsley expressed interest in helping design the interior of Staren's spaceship, he made a mental note to show it to her some time and... well, now he has a free moment! So, he asks her to meet at some Void docking station where space is air. That's convenient! The outside of the ship is easy to spot. It looks like a house-sized castle with thrusters on one end and a visible cockpit on the other end. There are also a couple of visible weapons turrets hidden along the crennelations. And the Star Hawk is clamped to the underside. Staren's waiting just outside the airlock, on... a couch that's just sitting there on the spacedock.
Ainsley	Ainsley arrives at the sight of a very large ship with a couch outside of it. She stares at it to properly soak in what she's looking at. "So!" She looks at Staren. "Show me the room." Her tail perks and her face subtly brightens. She clasps her hands behind her back and waits for Staren to lead the way. As usual, she's hovering a little off the ground and only really making the motion of walking... for some reason.
Staren	Staren stans up and rushes forward to give Ainsley a hug. "Hey, long time no see!" Then he turns back, zapping the couch into his matter manipulator and heading through the airlock. The design is typical, two heavy doors with a chamber between them, but the decoration has this 'medieval castle with fluorescent lighting and modern technology' feel to it. Hub - SSC Stranger than Fiction (Location #0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The walls, floor, and ceiling of the Stranger than Fiction's lower deck are covered with a facade that makes the structure look as if it are constructed of large stone bricks. The 'hub' room is about 25x15' across and about 7 1/3 feet tall. The teleporter pad is in the fore-starboard corner, the doorway to the lab is in the center of the fore wall, and the doorway to manufacturing is in the center of the aft wall. A spiral staircase to storage and the residential deck is in the aft-port corner. Through thick transparisteel windows, you can see space outside. Large storage cupboards are against the walls here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staren gestures to indicate the entire ship, "You sure you don't want the tour first? I mean, there's a whole ship to see..." Still, he leads her up the stairway. Storage - SSC Stranger than Fiction (Location #5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This room in the center of the ship is just a place to put stuff. Storage lockers abound. Though currently arranged with aisles of empty storage lockers and crates, the room as a whole offers maybe 14 x 19 feet to work with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Do you think it would be better to make one big guest room out of it, with room for like a few people to hang out? Or split it into two little bedrooms? I've got some furniture in my matter manipulator we can try arranging different ways."
Ainsley	Hugs! Ainsley eagerly accept the hug without the slightest hesitance, and squeezes Staren gratefully for it. She takes some pause at the sight of a couch vanishing into a handheld device. "That's new," she murmurs, having never seen a matter manipulator in action before just then. Being on a space ship is a strange experience for Ainsley, and it's even stranger that everything is made to look like stonework. The lizard woman raises her brows at the whole aesthetic while she walks along with Staren. And eventually she is in a room full of storage choices. She taps at one of her cheeks a few times and then tells Staren, "Well, ordinarily guest rooms are bedrooms, so a guest may stay over for an extended period of time, and they have considerations for the broad swath of potential guests. There's a bed, a closet, and maybe some other storage furniture," and then she steps over to one of the walls. She makes a sweeping gesture. "You can put a small bed up against one of the walls. Maybe something..." She looks at the walls. "Autumnal. Hardwood frame, some quilted covers. The mattress can be whatever kind, they won't care it's not authentic straw when they want to sleep in it. Then!" She points off to a corner, "A vanity, with a mirror." She points to the wall opposite of the bed. "A small dresser there. Fill it with things a guest might need. Make sure it's a dark wood, you wouldn't want to clash with the stonework aesthetic too much. You'd have to replace the whole facade if you wanted to take a different approach..." Her feathers poof up and her tongue sticks out, as if she has gone into The Zone, while she steps around the room, making hand gestures like imagining how furniture might fit in the room just right. "After that, well. It's just a matter of filling the rest of the space with artistic touches without cluttering the room too much.
Staren	Staren starts sucking the storage lockers and crates into the matter manipulator too. They're empty -- if Staren was actually /using/ all of this space, he wouldn't be able to convert it to guest rooms. He tries to keep up with picturing the things she's saying and picturing it. "Actually, thanks to the matter manipulator, replacing the facade is easy... but I suppose there's something to say for maintaining the theme, when the hub, the lab, and the dining area all maintain it." Suddenly he gasps. "Oh! I've got a brilliant idea!" Staren reaches into his bag and pulls out a pair of wraparound glasses, holding them out to Ainsley. "Put these on. Now, what was it..." Staren approaches the corner. "Autumnal, hardwood frame, quilted covers?" Something like that appears, a small two-person bed. Polygons appearing, then texturing. A sort of dark orange-ish wood with carvings of leaves on it and a red quilt with a repeating leaf design on the stitching. "Ahahaha, it works!" Staren gives a little gleeful jump. Of course, if Ainsley tries to touch it, or takes off the glasses, it's clear it's not really there -- just an augmented reality projection. "A vanity, with mirrors!" He turns and points across the room, and the requested object rezzes in, a narrow-legged, five-drawered vanity with a three-section mirror. "And a dark-wooded dresser!" It's wide, with three little drawers in the top row and two big rows of two below. There's another mirror on top. "Fill it with things a guest might need!" Staren reaches into his bag and pulls out a folded-up spacesuit and a submachinegun and sets them on the dresser, meaning they promptly drop to the floor. "Oops. Right." He turns to Ainsley and grins, "it works, though, it works! We found another use for the World Seed!"
Ainsley	Ainsley looks down at the glasses when they're held out at her. She accepts them and tries to fit them on her non-standard head shape, and manages it with a bit of adjustment. When AR furniture starts to manifest, she blinks owlishly and sticks her hand through the bed, then looks around at the room. She walks around to observe the polygonal constructions, fascinated by the resolution they show up at... She gets reeeal close to make out the imperfections that may still be present due to the digital, off-the-cuff nature of the representations. "Huh." She scrunches her brow. "Yes, this is very helpful. I have a strong imagination, but this eliminates some of the guess work."
Staren	Staren's abusing the world seed for mundane utility. The subsentient version of CARDINAL is basically google image searching things, then rapidly analyzing the images to produce models. it's /pretty good/ at refining things players poke their noses in, but Ainsley's vision is probably sharper than most. "Also great, is that, simple stuff like this? Once I have a model, it's easy to send it to the fabber. Basic materials, few moving parts..." Staren picks up the dropped items and puts them away again. "You can try it, too, it'll follow natural language commands... pretty well, anyway. Um... So you think it'd be better to make one big guest room than split it in two? Although, I suppose another option would be to use some smart materials walls and furniture that can adjust themselves somewhat... Like, a wall can come out to split the room, and the couch on one side can turn into another bed, or something. What do you think?"
