[he sounds tired. They probably all do, after all of that.]

My friends...

I'm sure I don't need to state the obvious, but we are just now seeing the full extent of this disaster. If you have not yet looked to see the bluff where the lighthouse used to be, take a moment and behold. This is hardly the first time the ferry hasn't come, but everything else....well. It is a tragedy on all sides.

First, I would like those who can to check in. Who is still here, and are you all alright? Now that we have a moment to breathe, report in if you can. We must take stock of who is genuinely missing, versus those who are just too busy to use the Grandmaster's alert system.

Second, can we have reports on what is destroyed and what still stands? I have spent my energy moving torches and redirecting water around the Bonfire. It is mostly safe, as far as I can tell, but Master Rastus is missing entirely. What of the village and the downtown on the other sides of the river? How do they fare? Has anyone been able to reach the Keeper, Dr. Solis, or anyone else with the network?

[a pause, a deep breath. Rosinante, buddy, this is on you]

Now is the time we need leadership, more than any other. We can discuss and debate the options later but for the moment, I would like for all of you to trust me and allow me to take charge. Temporarily, if nothing else. I have led my kingdom through war and disaster on a similar level before, I will do everything in my power to lead us out of this and to recovery and reorder, swiftly and carefully. I have been asked by some to step up, and so I shall. If you will let me. If there are no objections, simply ask me for a direction and I will point you toward a need that your skills can meet. What we need first is to take stock of what we have and what is missing: people, supplies, and shelter. From there, we will move forward one step at a time.

If you will not have me, then feel free to say so and I will not waste my time. Meanwhile, I will be moving torches back to the Bonfire Square until I drop from fatigue.

[ 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! ]

> Hello everyone! My name is Pudding, and I'd like your help!

> I know everyone has their own preparations in mind with the incoming rain. 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! That's where you come in ♡

> The most important thing of all is getting all the food to high ground. Besides ground floors, this includes getting things out of basements and cellars if there are any. Anybody who can go up and down flights of stairs or elevators or fly or whatever else there is can move food even if it's just an armful at a time! Everything helps! If you can get food from small and unsound buildings to stronger ones that would be an even bigger help!

> I know there are a whole bunch of you big enough or strong enough or both to unload all those big barrels and crates off the ferry. 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!!

> I'm used to shipping the food my family makes by boat, so I know how to make containers water safe. 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 would also help to have the following supplies if anyone has them or knows where to find them:

> rope
> big and heavy screws, bolts and nuts, and the tools to use with them
> meat hooks, wall mounts, anything else than can hold something heavy
> pulleys, winches, and substitutes
> wax
> tar
> wax paper, butcher paper, contact paper, linings and liners, and even old newspapers

> And of course anything else you, dear reader, can think of that might help!

> Please let me know if you can help me or I can help you! If you'd just like to tell me where you're working on moving food from and to, I can note that down so we have a reference on the network for later.

> I look forward to meeting and working with everyone! xoxo

( supply chains will be updated here )

Okay, okay. Okay.

( There’s a sound in the background, probably recognisable to most as a microwave. There’s another sound that might be recognisable to some by now: Sarissa being a little drunk. )

So, tragedy: wet clothes. Disaster, right? I was thinking, I can’t put ‘em in a dryer, ‘cause they’ll shrink. And I can’t put ‘em on a line out in the sun, because this place is a big fuck you to that whole concept, I bet, even in summer.

Problem solved, though. I’m on it.

( She is not, in fact, on it. In fact, though it cannot be seen by the listener or Sarissa, her clothes are starting to smoke, rather than steam. ) Anyways, I was telling Molly about how handy microwaves are, and then I thought: hey. Extra problem solving.

(Off-screen, Molly says:) Uh, Sarissa? Is there supposed to be this much smoke?

Ain’t smoke, mate. It’s steam. ( She’ll be right. There’s a long pause, and then— ) oh motherfuck!

So...random question for anyone who's attached currently...or has been attached in the past, I'm not picky!

what's the best way to ask someone out?

that isn't "just go up to them and ask". I've tried, it don't work.

...asking for a friend, of course.
