Cleaning out the linen closet and medicine cabinet

So you know, D2, for Eibhlin, every household is a deadly weapon.

ETA: Eibhlin says keep your cabinet current. She can't blow up anything with hydrogen peroxide that's reverted to water.

Random thought: Sometime a few years postwar, Eibhlin and Rokia team up to make Panem's best model rockets. Option on an actual space program, but Beetee would probably say that's not an efficient use of resources.

:D Eibhlin would be all about making that propulsion system happen.

They can even come up with very important excuses scientific justification for rocketry experiments. High-altitude measurements of atmospheric something-or-other-i-don't-care-enough-to-research-right-now, aerial photographs to survey for new construction (it's cheaper than hovercraft flyovers, okay?), the possibilities are endless.

And that's even before you consider the hilarity involved in sending, say, Ronan's toaster, on a suborbital trajectory ending in District 12. Beetee can build a missile guidance system so it lands on Haymitch's back porch. The geese are very confused.

(look, I don't think I ever claimed to make sense)

WHAT DID RONAN'S TOASTER EVER DO TO THE YOUNGUNS

[identity profile] kawuli.livejournal.com 2015-02-16 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
FLYING TOASTERS!

IT'S FUNNY

(lol that was not actually what I was thinking about, just the first random object that occurred to me, but did anyone else have the flying toasters screensaver?)

BWHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA THIS IS A THING THAT HAPPENS HEADCANON ACCEPTED

Did [livejournal.com profile] lorataprose tell you about the 'experiments' that Eibhlin starts running when Ronan falls asleep? Ronan is an expert at the D2 version of Go. Eibhlin loves learning new games, and gets a bit obsessive until she figures out all the strategies and methods of play. Unfortunately, Ronan isn't as young as he used to be, and sometimes falls asleep while they're playing. Normally socialized humans would excuse themselves and let Ronan sleep. Eibhlin has a tendency to wander about the house, 'improving' his appliances.

Eibhlin (and Claudius, she will insist) enjoys meteorology. I'm sure atmospheric readings are totally necessary for that. ;)

:DDDDDDD

Nobody could ever mistake Victors for "normally socialized humans."

Also, Rokia thinks randomly improving appliances is an excellent use of spare time. And will provide welding assistance if necessary.

Thanks for the reminder! I just tossed a ton of stuff. :D

One and a half grocery bags full for me. D: I've got to clean out that linen closet more often.

if i stuck to this timeline, i'd have to purchase brand new everything every time I was to apply my makeup!

Er, yeah, I never see the bottom of a bottle of bb cream, either. ;)
