I'm sure someone will figure something out.

[ He might sound just slightly dubious about it, but it's the thought that counts. Probably. ]

In the mean time we can find things to do.

[broca]

[ Maybe... The attempt at reassurance just gets a noncommittal and just as dubious sounding hum from Broca. The longer this all goes on, the harder it feels to maintain any certainty they will figure something out. ]

Any suggestions?

[ For things they can find to do. He assumes nothing involving dryers. ]

[catmemes]

[ Kai takes a good moment or so to give it some really serious thought before finally announcing his conclusion: ]

No.

[ So helpful. But all he can do is offer a slightly awkward shrug. ]

I'm not used to doing a lot of things.

[broca]

[ In a very un-catlike fashion, even considering his "big cat" status, Broca is usually filling his days up with something. Then again, he's human first, Feline second. Still that doesn't stop him from letting out a heavy sigh.

Not that he expects anyone to have answers for him, but... ]

This place needs more bookstores.

[ And not just ones run by people kidnapped her and populated by books of their own hurried making. ]

[catmemes]

They'd just be blank though?

[ Not that he doesn't understand the desire, but the city apparently is what it is. If they're going to start listing things they'd rather have instead, they're probably going to be here for a while. ]

But it would be nice to know something about this place, I guess.

[broca]

[ That heavy sigh from a second ago? That has nothing on the even heavier sigh that Broca lets out now. Kai is right though. ]

This place needs real books.

[ With some reluctance he lets his ears relax. ]

It'd be nice to know what it wants with us too.

[catmemes]

Yeah.

[ That much he can definitely agree with, even if he doesn't need to know, exactly. He can survive just going about his business.

But the whole thing is real weird and not knowing anything is still annoying. ]

We just have to stick together, right?

[broca]

[ Broca crosses his arms, a single shake of the head. ]

Not like we have much choice in that.

[ Well that's not entirely true. With a city this empty it would be easy for someone to isolate if they really wanted to, but... ]

What we really need is to find a weak point.

[catmemes]

[ That just earns a blink. ]

A weak spot in what?

[ The barrier keeping them there? Someone has to have tried that already.

...right? ]

[broca]

[ Sure, but there's no harm in trying again. It's not like they're going anywhere in the meantime.

Besides, if Broca is entirely honest... ]

I'm not sure.

[ Damn that tail is twitching up a storm. ]

But everything has a weak point that will break if you apply constant pressure.

[ Whether it's a barrier, or forcing whatever is in charge here to overextend its powers, or barraging the systems in place to make it all start breaking down a little at a time. ]
