[text] @riku; lantern security [open]

[equinoctials]

Hey. I know we owe our escape to everyone here and the distraction those Hunt guys pulled off, but they're still called the Fire Snatchers for a reason. I'm thankful. Still don't trust them around my lantern and neither should any of us.

If you don't already have something sturdy to secure your lantern to you, I've made a bunch of clips that can do the trick. These are strong enough to carry my weight. It might do for climbing in a pinch too.

The ferry's expected to come soon. When it does I'll be at the docks handing these out. If I run out then I'll make some more.

I've got a workshop going, if you need something made or repaired, message me. I'll tell you if I can do it. Could use some help getting material from the scrapyard, that's all.

One more thing. I made a headlight for those electric bikes, mostly it's a bracket for a lantern with a focusing lens, it's worked ok. Materials are a real pain, if you want one I'll need your help with that.

There's a few of us used to be sailors back in life - we could teach folks a few knot-tying tricks, make sure people really know how to secure something with a rope or thick string.

Wouldn't mind a sturdier clip myself. Good thinking, thanks.

I'd ask for one of those clips but my lantern's kinda stabby.

I can always help with collecting stuff tho.

Riku,

As a mechanoid being, would it be possible for you to fashion some sort of holster on my body that can hold my lantern safely?

That reminds me, there's a car I know of. That'll be in need of a headlight or two.

You have a workshop?

Hindsight being 20-20 and all, we can't say that the name's misleading...

[ the question, too, is how have the wild hunt survived? solis is one person, the night market something else entirely, but when one person becomes a dozen becomes a double more, it does raise questions about what they've been told. ]

That aside, sounds like you've been busy. How many clips do you have?

@hamada

[tadaishi]

I'd definitely like one of those clips. Are they like carabiners?

@shouto

[swellter]

I'd like a clip.

What do you want in exchange?

[She's improvised a sling of sorts for her lantern, but a metal clip would be more reassuring...]

i'll take one if you have enough. do you want anything in return?
