[periphrasing]

✆CHANNEL FREQUENCY: 319.03058
DESCRIPTION: Don't ask her about the significance of the number of her frequency. It's something about the production code of her favorite episode of CPH and some other significant numbers from that show, who even knows...

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Mailbox is on her door, it's shaped like a chicken???
DESCRIPTION: She doesn't really see the point of correspondence by mail. You're better off hitting up her radio or finding her in person if it's something important.

I'm planning to ask her for the space. Just trying to get a sense of what's possible, first.

[ He pauses, trying to think of how to put this concisely. ]

I want to set up a training yard -- and obviously, something like that needs training equipment, so that people can practice. [ A shuffle of papers. ]

The idea's to give people the chance to practice hitting targets, and improve their footwork and endurance. I've got some ideas, but ... you ever design an obstacle course before?

[periphrasing]

[...She has no idea what an obstacle course even is. Peridot is thankful that this conversation isn't face to face, because if there's one thing she hates, it's looking incompetent or foolish on the job.]

I... Can't say that I have. [She adds hastily:] But I'm sure it won't pose much of a challenge! Did you have any designs, or schematics drawn up for what you have in mind? Or is it just... 'ideas', at this stage.

[ To be fair, this might be a little out of her wheelhouse, as things with physical exertion tend to be. ]

I can describe it. There was one that I ran all the time back home, but it was mostly improvised from the environment.

[periphrasing]

[Oh it is most definitely outside her wheelhouse. This is the sort of thing they keep Greg around for.]

You mean from nature? [Snort. Yeesh.] We can probably build something a bit more modern than that, given the resources we have access to.

[Which basically means the first draft of your obstacle course is probably going to be a technological death trap, sorry Lambert.]

Get the permission for the space necessary from the Ringmaster. I'll rally my team and we can meet up, draft some ideas.

[whattaprick]

I'm all for modern. Something that doesn't become an ice slide in the winter would be a nice change.

[ Oh well, that's what iterations are for! Anyway, the death traps aren't going to be for him. ]

I'm looking forward to it.
