( well, we are sure off to a rowdy good time.

kara, meanwhile, is just trying to keep it simple by making this note to the network. )

Hello, my name is Kara.

As the selection of clothing offered can be found wanting for some, I have taken to mending and adjusting some of the clothes that I've found for myself. I thought I might offer this to anyone that might need assistance given the limited selection in some sizes and for some heights.

Since I do not sleep, I have a lot of free time so you are free to message me whenever you might need to make a request.

( because sometimes a girl just needs to sit, stew and rip clothes apart. it's therapeutic. )

( 'programming' just ain't a word he knows. he assumes it's some manner'o training. )

That would work, yes. And it'd be mighty appreciated. We're running a clinic in the Church and could use all the supplies we could get.

[chores]

Yes-- of course. I'll keep an eye out for anything that might prove most useful for you and the others.

Is there anything else you might need? I used to take care of children but my knowledge of human medicine is, admittedly, lacking in some regards as what might be best to focus on.

[preseance]

Don't suppose you know CPR?

[chores]

I do. I also understand how to perform the Heimlich maneuver and some emergency bleeding control.

[preseance]

( heimlich maneuver. he ain't heard of that one, must be one of those things that's past his time. again. it ain't exactly a source of frustration for him so much of wonder, but it gets mighty old feelin' so far behind. )

There's a gal here who knows it too, Coraline Li. Reckon we ought to get the two of you together so you can compare notes and then maybe teach those of us that ain't got the knowledge yet. If you're amenable, that is. And I'd like to learn this Heimlich maneuver too if at all possible.

I appreciate all your help, by the way. I'm Gene. Eugene Hicks. One of the medics here, but I'm from 1945, before a lot of modern techniques really came around.

( she considers declining the idea. considers mentioning that she won't be of much help to anyone considering the things that happened before her arrival into this afterlife but-- she also thinks back to what prompto told about looking at this place like a second chance. )

Coraline Li. Okay, I'll do what I can to help if possible. It is nice to meet you though, Gene. I come from 2038 myself so I am sure there is a lot of things that we can teach one another.

( near a hundred years after the fact. lord, he knows on an intrinsic level with a certainty most fellows don't come to in the mortal coil that life goes on. he's met ghosts from ages and empires past. but just. hearin' that. a hundred years. in 1938 he was fourteen, new to brooklyn an' fallin' into a fast friendship with reggie holiday. an' reggie'd been alive. lord. he's been dead now almost longer than they were ever friends while breathin'. )

Thank you, Miss. And if you need anything, don't you hesitate to call on me as well.

Now... if you don't mind the question, what did you mean by 'programming'? I'm not familiar with the word.

[chores]

( there is a slight pause between messages as she stares at the screen, considering the words before fully committing to her own. this was... this was a lot harder than she originally imagined. )

Yes, of course. Thank you. I'll try to remember that because, in truth, I haven't had a lot of good experiences with people before.

And, by programming, I mean I was built already knowing the information. I'm a android which is, um, a very advance and intelligent sort of machine.

[preseance]

( give him

a minute.

actually, probably a few minutes. and maybe he smokes a cigarette in the interim, because his first reaction is to blurt out, like a typewriter? an' that surely don't seem fair so. keep it together, hicks. )

By 'people' I assume you mean humans? I'm sorry if so.

( he wishes he could say it surprises him. but folks don't take kindly to different, no matter what that 'different' may be. )

Pardon me if I say anything rude on that account. It's not my intention.
