Okay, then the plot they'll probably get is- They retrieve a map from the map room- Is about twenty body-heights by thirty-five body-heights, slightly longer on one side than the other. (This includes horns, making the effective measure a bit taller than the average Amentan.)

That's big enough for a decent sized building. It will take them some time to put up and they might need to stage some stuff outside the plot itself during construction.

Permalink

That's not exactly standard for construction. She'll look into allowing them to block the street or neighbors amenable to it.

Permalink

They can probably do it within the footprint if they have to.

Permalink

Well, things should be worked out by tomorrow. Would they like to do anything else in the government building since they're already here? Or maybe go see the Bell Hall? There's a lot of art in there.

Permalink

They would love to see the art!

Art!! There's a huge hall with a painted ceiling inside, where blue tinted light filters in through glass skylights and more stained glass windows. The art is scattered all around, including in side rooms and a second floor with sets of balconies. Sculpture and painting, mostly, including some incredibly detailed ones where every tuft of fur is clearly seen in marble. Though there's also fancy tapestries and jewelry and extremely flashy weapons, behind ruddy and imperfect glass cases. The art leans strongly towards gentle, asymmetrical nature-like curves and fratals, or realism or still-life. There's some probably-porn, just incidentally, without a real focus on it. The Amentans can't visit the bell room, it's only for god-followers, but you get there through that tall ladder into a loft area.

Can the Amentans show somebody how to take a picture and get a picture of the bell-room without going into it?

Permalink

Uh, no, that would defeat the point that only god-followers see the art in there.

Permalink

Okay, they weren't sure if it was about seeing it or about entering the space. Why is that the point?

Permalink

You need to have an understanding of the gods to properly appreciate it. And looking at god art without properly appreciating it is disrespectful to them.

Permalink

Okay. They will not go look at the art in there. They take pictures of the rest of it though.

Permalink

Are lots of people are going to see those?

Permalink

...yes. Do they need to work out an IP arrangement?

Permalink

They need proper attribution and a way to notify the artists of their fame, that's the important part. The caretakers can name the artist of every piece from memory.

Permalink

Okay! They will write that down diligently and can send a regular update on the number of hits each piece gets to the museum.

Permalink

Murrr, writing... No, no, lists are ok-ish, they'll be fine.

Permalink

The curator's memory is very impressive! They just don't have memories like that.

Permalink

Probably this is because Dwellin have a close connection to memory.

Permalink

Yes, that seems likely. Also practice, since they don't usually write things down and Amentans get used to relying on it.

Permalink

Perhaps. The curator can ask if any artists want to send their work to Amenta, if that's a thing the Amentans would want?

Permalink

They would! They can do an art exchange, if they want any Amentan art to display.

Permalink

The curator would enjoy looking through pictures of Amentan art that might be on offer and seeing if any of it looks interesting.

Permalink

Sure! They scroll through some stuff that goes on exhibit tours.

Permalink

Abstract art doesn't make much sense to her. But some of the stuff with happy families in it is very warm and hopeful, that's a maybe! Do they have war art, like the room full of paintings of battles against scary animals and other Dwellin?
