[ ooc: this is a text post, but i'm dyslexic and can't read courier very well. i'll be using regular italic text and prepending carets to each line of ic text like it's 1989. if you could avoid using courier yourselves on this post i would appreciate it! ]

If anyone is looking for some way to help and isn't sure what to do, I'd like you to think about where you usually get your food every day and prioritize keeping it safe! We have finite food resources and almost any food you can imagine is perishable if waterlogged. There are so many locations where food is served and stored I know I can't get to them all myself!

If you can get food from small and unsound buildings to stronger ones that would be an even bigger help!

If it's possible for you to get them all the way up to second and third floors of sturdy buildings I would appreciate that sooo much!!! ♡♡♡ I can also use some strong hands and strong backs to knot ropes into nets and pull cargo up near the rafters so if upper floors do flood, all our preparations don't wash out through the doors and windows!!

All the supplies still packed up from the ferry should be able to just go like they are, and ones that have been opened can be carefully repacked with food and carried to high ground too! I can show you how if you stop by The Invincible, where I'll be working on all the supplies there and trying to coordinate pulling from the Bed and Breakfast too.

It won't hurt to try. At the very least, helping them secure their own wares might work, though to be honest I don't know where their wares come from.
No, I didn't mention. I always forget conversational expectations with online interactions. The text to speech can be hard to parse. I'm Matt.
no subject
Oh, should I change to voice, Mr. Matt? Would that be easier for you?
VOICE
It is easier, yes. I'm blind, using the text feature is pretty time consuming. I can do it, but if I can avoid it, it's a lot easier.
voice!
[ Pudding's voice is sweet and kind, peppy and earnest. ]
I'm terribly sorry, I had no idea! I'll certainly keep that in mind for the future. Is there anything as far as preparations that's easier or harder for you that I might be able to help get you toward or away from?
no subject
( he can navigate voice commands just fine when he has to. it's just that he's probably got more pressing concerns than dictating to his tablet. )
I'll be fine. You've got enough on your hands trying to secure supplies, and I've got plenty to do myself. ( he doesn't need a babysitter, as kind as the offer happens to be. )
no subject
[ Whew. She's honestly pretty glad she doesn't have to figure an entire new detail like that into her operations - she has no experience and no idea what she would do to help if this brand new acquaintance needed it. ]
If you think of anything, or even just have an idea for where food supplies might be kept that it doesn't look like anyone's covered yet, do let me know! And don't think of it as conversational expectations, silly. I'm glad to know your name! Good luck with everything on your end, Matt!
no subject
( it's fine. Welcome to the least blind blind guy you are ever gonna meet, Pudding. He's basically the worst. )
Thank you. And the same to you, be careful out there.
