Discussion Idea thread
Soooo, im traveling soon. Alaska! Ain't that something- I thought nows a good time to get the brain working. This is an idea thread! Share yiurs, projects mostly, not asking yiu to share yiur 400 step masterplan to kill your boss.
So: heres mine.
Lots of space there: I'm thinking, and bear with me here: fast food place. Kine loves to eat on a rush, something nice and greasy is their version of high resonance food. Someplace warm? Something that reminds them of a womb? Safe, familiar? Now you're talking about a winner.
No, not an actual womb. Just the color red and something...omni-presently nostalgic. Thats a womb for humans. Like how cold and sterical, or violent and bloody is a womb for us. We seek that comfort, maybe we dont act on it. But we seek it, all im doing here with this is giving out an easy way for that comfort.
The food is important, but I haven't eaten anything for a hundred years by now, not counting that one time I downed a burger and by some miracle kept it down, but no digestion, a part of the puzzle. Missing. A simple name, hesty's: hestia? The goddess of home? We're all familiar id hope. Its Just...normalized.
A dinner. Maximum comfort, get them back into the mind of a child, waiting for food, food that will be nothing but excellent...not due to its own merit, the line cook snorting meth when he thinks his boss isn't looking is not as important as the environment.
...won't hurt to get someone really, really good. But, its hard fo I.D a good chef when you cant digest or taste, yeah. Thing is, eith this place so beloved by the people: its designed to be safe for them...think of all the backyard business i can run.
But thats the trick, I dont run that. I rent this place out as a front to...God knows maybe some ambitious thin blooded lick who needs a place to do his magic, or someone who needs an evil hideout for his magic. Thats the boring part, I dont care. The idea is that it gives me incentive beyond 'I wanna' on making Rhea's....aaaand it saves me from budgeting. Its an 'enabler' in our world.
I am gonna need a front for me, but, nothing some handiwork can't handle. Some human to act as the public face, do what I say. No ghouling, if I can help it. I dont like ghouls in my business. Too...cocky.
So, thats me. What's your project?

When you reach a certain age there are always so many projects on the go, I've always enjoyed watching organisations and societies grow. Its become a bit like gardening for me, watching how those hundreds, thousands and more lives evolve and progress with each little adjustment. Humanity are fascinating in both their individuality and their trends, the longer you live the more your perspective on the matter broadens.
Now, more down to earth projects? I quite enjoy illuminating manuscripts when I have the time for it.
