I wonder if I can actually finish these. I bet I can!


Day 14: Lyokosona

"So…what am I supposed to be looking at, here?"

"What do you mean?" Odd said, waving the paper in front of Jeremie's face. "It's exactly what you asked for, isn't it?"

"No, I mean-" Jeremie snatched the paper from Odd's hands. "How do you think I'm going to pull this off, Odd?"

"Uh, the same way you did our outfits the last time?" Odd balanced himself on the arm of the supercomputer chair, to get a better view of his drawing again.

"I said I could maybe make some minor modifications if you really wanted them," Jeremie said. "But there's a limit to the complexity of the changes I can make. The supercomputer's done most of the work for me, and despite what you might think, I'm not a professional 3D animator." He tilted the paper down, and slammed his hand against it. "It wouldn't exactly be easy to create all this! A cape, a purple leather jacket, spiked boots, and a…" Jeremie squinted to read Odd's handwriting. "A 'Captain Falcon' helmet?"

"Oh, come on!" Odd said, snatching the paper back. "You gave Aelita wings, remember? You can do plenty of stuff!"

"I can't completely rig and render an outfit this complicated unless I had at least a few months to work on it," Jeremie said. "I was thinking more along the lines of changing a color palette."

"Well, that's not what I wanted," Odd said. "Look, I'll leave this with you, and if you have time, just, see what you can do about it, okay?"

"Like I said, don't get your hopes up." Jeremie took the sheet from Odd's hands, folded it neatly across the middle, and tucked it into his chair. He couldn't guarantee he'd remember it was there. "Now, head down to the scanners, we've got a long day of exploring ahead."
