[Video] II [sent to everyone]

... I hope I am using this device correctly.

[She's looking all... stately and contemplative on the video feed.]

I'll be blunt about this. The place in which most of us live is utterly miserable. I've seen more cheer in a graveyard.

I cannot be the only person who wishes to change this. I've some ideas, but I'd like to know anything else that people want before I start making plans.

Any offers for assistance would be greatly appreciated as well.

I am already functioning on necessity. [No, really. You try and do a corset up by yourself.] More then you could possible imagine, frankly. But I'm not complaining beyond doing what I can to make this place better for more then just myself. [She sighed.]

I haven't, and I don't want to. I already know there is one hunter here, now there is you as well, and who so ever you know. I imagine there is more as well that can be helpful. It'd be foolish of me to join you, when frankly I'd just slow you down, physically outmatched as I am in skill and ability. I couldn't in the end, be left alone to do so.

[And she's thinking like a Queen. Delegation of skill was part and parcel to that.]

Hn. [ Functioning on necessity? Hard to believe. And corsets? She could walk around without one for all he cared, that was the least of his concerns. His idea of bare necessities were obviously far different from hers, but the point was that they were now both stuck in a totally different world to what they were used to, and change had to come from within. For both of them, he realized. ]

If you haven't, then you cannot say for sure that you 'can't'. It's like sitting at the foot of a tree and wishing it'd grow lower so you could reach the highest apple. And what'd happen if said hunter or hunters are kidnapped or go missing?

We cannot afford to depend on each other all the time. Things could go wrong, and we must be prepared enough to face change. We also don't have to hunt in groups. Plus there are always the supplies in Credinta whenever we could get there.

All I'm saying is that we don't label so and so as unable to do so and so, but teach them, to the best of our abilities, to learn how to hunt, cook, and be knowledgeable of basic first aid. By hunting I mean something simple as fishing or trapping rabbits or birds. It doesn't have to be elk or deer. It's for everybody's benefit, no harm can come out of it, I am certain.

[ He pauses here, sighing, then shakes his head. ]

I am not trying to find fault in everything you say, lady. I quite like your ideas. I just want to make sure that we're all able to fend for ourselves when the rest of us... are gone. I'd hate to see one of us not make it even when they had a chance.

Your point is valid, but for now, until some kind of system is set up, any such things will have to be postponed. But I do humbly suggest you find others, I'm really no good for any kind of hunting. Because we are not alone, and we do have each other. [And really, learning Russian seemed more important right now.]

Again, I will send anyone that wants to learn such things to you. You're right, the more people with basic skills, the better.

Mm. [ He thought about things for a moment there before bringing his legs up to sit cross legged on the chair he was sitting on, though one could only see his knees. ] And learning the native language. [ He laughs here. ] Though everyone can tell I am not from here.

That is obvious. So just lie, say you're a traveller from the East, so I understand it, China is the other side of Russia, and you'd easily pass as someone from there.

And if China is not particularly good with Russia? [ He smiled here ] Mn. A little research will clear that up.

What did you want to start with first?

No one is good with China, because China does not care for anyone but itself. [She doubted that had changed much.]

But they won't arrest you for just being Chinese, I don't think.

And cleaning, cleaning and resource gathering. Just planning at the moment mostly. There's a lot to plan, and I need to know what I am working with, and what is wanted.

So again, if you have any other suggestions, it'd be very appreciated.
