Hello.

As several before me have noted: given our circumstances, it is more crucial now than ever before that we cooperate and share any relevant information that could be of benefit to us all. However, the accessibility of this knowledge is also essential. If we have no sense of organization, then we add unnecessary frustration at least and risk at most.

I've accumulated a list of known locations and some general statistical information, which I encourage you to add to at your discretion. I believe it would be in our best interests to know the following about each of you as well:

1. Please list your name and ID.
2. Do you have any medical, technical, or mechanical skills?
3. Do you have any advanced skills in another area that you think would be of assistance?
4. Would you be comfortable using these skills if asked?

Also, I've taken the liberty to sort out how to increase security protocols. If you wish to know how this works, feel free to contact me here or privately.

Thank you.

[ ooc: So, head's up! Permission was granted to have Ryo fix up these filters for you all, but here's your catch (if you're interested): Ryo will be leaving a security loophole or "backdoor" as it were for himself (with your permission) to easily exploit so his ability to eavesdrop will be maximized. Please refer to his permission's post here if you're fine with him doing as much.

Also, if your character wouldn't agree to this? Please refer to the permissions anyhow if you eventually might be interested in this kind of technological eavesdropping. Thank you! ]

[Ryo, please. You haven't lifted a finger for a menial task in the last ten plus years.]

no offense, ryo, but I'd like to be able to actually wear it when the repair's done
how about you just stick to your whole computer thing and I'll do this, ok?

[luciformis]

[ He's gonna have to learn! He guesses. Maybe he can just find someone else willing. He glances up, for a moment, before responding. ]

If you'd like.

Do you have what you need for it?

[dvmn]

[You better, because Akira may be your friend but he's not your maid.

unless you're into that]

nah
I just thought I'd look around and see if I could find a sewing kit or something
I mean they gotta have something like that around here somewhere right??

[It's basically a household requirement.]

[luciformis]

[ who knows ;) ]

I took the liberty of collecting one of the medkits.
There may be something you can use in there.

[ And by "one" he means he collected the good stuff out of a few and sorted through to see which ones had needles and suture kits. ]

[dvmn]

[:3c]

think we should really waste medical suturing supplies for that?
we might need those later

[and by "we" he means "you," because he barely needs ten minutes to recover from a laceration]

I'll use it if I can't find anything else but I'll take a look around for an actual sewing kit first

[luciformis]

[ :3c! ]

I wouldn't.
There should be several safety pins. They won't be ideal, but they'll do what you need them to if you can't find a standard kit.

[ Provides you modify them correctly. And listen... ]

[dvmn]

wait are you suggesting we make sewing needles out of safety pins???

[luciformis]

I am.
They have the same ability to go through material. They have a larger gauge size than standard sewing needles and might be a little difficult to coax thread on and through, but they should do.

[ And with a brief glance up: ]

And it won't waste sterile tools.

[ Modification is the name of Ryo Asuka's game. ]

[dvmn]

...

[Akira's actually looking up over his communicator as he slowly taps that one out, sending it with only a quick glance down (he hasn't perfected the art of texting without looking like Ryo has, not quite yet).]

ok yeah sure
well I'll be sure to bring back as many as I can find, if we're going to be turning some of them into something else

[Because they might actually need the safety pins at some point.]

[luciformis]

It's practical.

[ Did you really just type ellipses at him, Akira? He's being helpful...! He might not know how to do laundry or anything like that, but he can figure out how... Some things work.

He looks up from his communicator and taps out a quick little addendum. ]

At least, in the event you can't find what you need.

[ At least he can MacGuyver a lot of things? Those are bound to be more plentiful than a sewing kit. ]

[dvmn]

[Yes, he sure did, and you better get used to it, Ryo. He types ellipses at you plenty in real life, it's just not quite as obvious.]

again: ok yeah sure

I'll keep it in mind at least
people were supposed to live in this place for long periods of time right?
youd expect theyd have stuff like that then
itll just take some lookin around
