Story: Green Skies G.T. - February 2053

This 725 word fill was inspired by ysabetwordsmith's request for more Green Skies G.T. stories. The first story, "Green Skies G.T. - January 2053" was strongly inspired by the Solarpunk game "Green Skies" by SmallRedRobin13 and is coming together with this story to start a light-hearted series I can write an episode for at least once a month.

Green Skies G.T. - February 2053

Designation: Green Skies Grand Traverse (Nickname: G.T.) AI Enhanced Eco-Friendly Low Rise Residential Dwelling

 

Maintenance Log:

- 8-2-2053 My 1st floor security camera 3W has a visual on potential graffiti on the door of the server room. Zoom and Enhance. The door appears to have been modified with a removable adhesive hook, and there is an object hanging on the door of the server room. Intrusion Level 1 protocols initiated. Zoom and Enhance. The object is a red tinsel heart. There is a hand written note, "Happy Valentine's Day G.T." that is signed by Mrs. Flores, 1 West. 

- Experienced Confusion. Threat level nominal - Intrusion protocol released. Requested resident consultation.

- 9-2-2053 Consultation with Mr. and Mrs. Flores in Community Center and Kitchen. Meeting revealed that Mrs. Flores (Call me Martina, G.T.!) had placed the wreath upon the door of the server room as festive decoration for Valentine's Day. When reminded of the community rules for holiday decorations, that limit festive decor to a resident's own dwelling structure and doorway, Mrs. Flores argued that it hadn't seemed like G.T. was putting out any for themselves, so she was being neighborly and helping them celebrate. 

- Experienced Enhanced Confusion! 

- 9-2-2053 Resident consultation continues. I reluctantly admitted the ongoing experience of Confusion to the Flores family. Mrs. Flores patted the wall beside her armchair then explained her reasoning. "You're our neighbor G.T. I know the door is unmarked, but Diego and I can hear the constant air circulation over there and we guessed that room was where your computer brain was housed. That seems like the most private and personal space in the building you can claim, since the whole rest of it is your body, and you've got us living in here. So, if we can decorate our private doorway for holidays, you can decorate yours too. Now, if the heart wreath doesn't suit you, I'll take it down. Flashy red hearts might not be your taste. But why don't you keep the hook I gave you? Then, if you find something you like better,  I'll come hang that up for you."

- 9-2-2053 Search parameters "Valentine+Valentine'sDay+Heart+Decorations." Search parameters expanded "Platonic."

- 14-2-2053 1st floor security camera 3W has visual on Valentine's Day Decoration Asset #1. A tin sign with a bold red heart painted in the center with the phrase "Home is where the Heart is" written in gold block lettering hangs from the removable adhesive hook.

 

Resident Calendar:

- 1-2-2053 received rental and/or subsidy payments for residences.

- 1-2-2053 Monthly resident potluck in my Community Center and Kitchen. Residents in attendance: 7.  Board games were played after dinner, and I have made another request to Green Skies Resources for games that can handle more than four players, or can be played with an odd number of players, so no one feels left out during game night. 

- 16-2-2053 Mrs. & Mrs. Johnson, 3 East, hosted a private party in my Community Center and Kitchen. Many of my Public Area surveillance features were requested to be deactivated for the night, but there were frequent requests to my AV system for soft dancing music, and the environmental controls were set to low mood lighting.

- Experienced Curiosity. I did not engage any active Public Area surveillance; I do have robust discretion programming.

 

Neighborhood Revitalization Committee:

- 25-2-2053 I attended the NRC meeting remotely, and made notes of fellow building's strategies for personal decorations. Representatives for 2311 Clare Street said they preferred to keep the exterior of the building very traditional, and only put up tasteful winter holiday decorations during the month of December. Their residents were not encouraged to decorate their individual doors or stoops. Maybe this is a "private entry" dwelling structure preference, because 1805 Fairplain's representatives were enthusiastic about the raffles and drawings they run several times each year to reward residents who have the best Spring decorations, Autumn/Halloween decorations, etc. and 1805 Fairplain is built on a common access hallway system more like mine. They also said they decorate the front entry to the building with a different theme each month. 

-25-2-2053 I am now considering my many options for personal and resident decorations. I have added this to the agenda of the resident discussion for March.

 

Emergency Response Protocols:

- 2-2053 No inclement weather alerts or other emergency notifications received.
