Rookery: Steampunk Saturday
Hmm...just saw Inglorious Basterds and was thinking a nice WWII theme for today but he who makes the thread and all that.
/e wanders in with a brass-plated WW2 vintage machine gun wearing a monocle which projects a 3d scoping image in front of the eye. A soldiers uniform which upon closer inspection can be seen to be metal plates with smartly rivented design criss-crossing the panels.
we in the killin Prussian's business and bizniss is a-boomin!
Well...
Right after I have this glazed strudel.

*Tumbles in, wearing some steampunk-mecha powered armor bits.* I hate when I have an awesome character concept, but make it at the wrong location and am unsure of my ability to favorably replicate it somewhere else.
The concept in question? Ellen Holmes, genius-grade high school student, decides she wants to be a super-hero to fulfill her extra curricular activities to gain entrance into a good college ('Saved the world' is a pretty big activity!). After winning a box of random power armor parts at a police auction, she throws it together into a ramshackle suit, paints it bright girly pink, and straps on some rocket boots. Saving the day time!
I may port her to City Of here in the future, after I pin down a few more things in my head. *Straps on her goggles.* But today, I'm gonna clean the FoC. And it'll take all of the steam-powered mecha goodness I can manage to tackle this feat.
*Hefts an auto-broom, and charges the FoC.* Yargh.
It's a good concept Foxy!
Morning all! Mornign Kegan!

*enters wearing a double breasted lab coat with brass and green glass goggles pushed up on forehead, dusting copious amounts of dust and metal shavings off her sleeves*
I say, good morning all. It's good to finally be out of that lamp. Phenomenal Cosmic Powers are over rated anyway. And has anyone seen my number twelve spuring wrench? The anti-clockwise one.
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
*walks out in his new steampunk battle suit*
Morning all. Where's the tea?
Don't know what's going on, but it ain't bad.

*munches quietly on a muffin and reads the paper*
* enters the steampunk rookery on something resembling a powered big wheel, wearing blast goggles and a yellow raincoat. *
Hi all, hope you have a nice weekend.

*comes in, gets some milk and reads over Bayani's shoulder* I'll working on something steampunky later, breakfast first
Don't say I'm out of touch with this rampant chaos your reality

Greetings all. I'm here to announce that my Atmospheric Beautification Device is now up and running, and should provide us with wonderful sunny weather today.
Unless of course I installed the steam frazinstat backwards again, in which case we'll have tornadoes and flooding.
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
Then I hope, Neko, you don't install it in backwards.
