008 | Video | Day 107

[Balthazar appears on the screen with lines of static rippling across his upper chest. He looks in good enough health and spirits, at least, but serious.] Hello, Kore. I'll be quick to the point since the communicators are squirrelly these days.

One: I assume we're all avoiding the ocean inasmuch as possible. Are people still fishing, and if so, where? If not, how is that affecting food stores? Anyone in need?

[The image distorts and gets swallowed up in white noise for a moment, a few words cut off.] ---ouple pounds of purslane and dandelion greens and picked another crop of radishes; I'm happy to make trades. I've also caught something that looks like a rabbit with tusks. It's up for grabs, because the hell if I'm going to skin and gut it myself.

Two: Given the way conditions are deteriorating, I'm wondering if we ought to initiate some sort of buddy system. Pairs, trios, small groups to look out for one another?

[Have a smiling Riley. She's looking much better than she had the last time he'd seen her and she was happy for that.]

Well isn't that mature and responsible of you?

[Her tone was teasing, but her smile was fond.]

I'm good for food and I don't know about anyone else, but I usually do my fishing at the stream. There's enough that go through there that I've been able to catch what I need.

I'm also all in favor of the buddy system. There's a few people here I'd like to keep an eye on and make sure that all's well with and maybe having something like that in place would be a good idea. At least maybe we'd know when someone goes missing more quickly.

What kind of things...

[The video cuts out for a moment, but resumes shortly thereafter.]

.... accept as trades?

Any of those greens have ---

[It cuts out.]

--king wi --

[The image flickers and blurs, but clears for a moment and a blue skinned woman shows up.]

I'm hungry-----thing to trade. I'm no---- what I can give you in -----.

[ The video is grainy, and it keeps shaking from side to side, but Dean's smug smile shines through all the interference. ]

Will you be my buddy?

[ Have people tried turning the communicators off and on again? That fixes everything. No? Oh well. Fuzzy video a go! ]

You wanna [ The video cuts out for a few seconds. ] ...buddy?

[ But really, the buddy system is a great plan and goes hand in hand with the list Donna and Fortescue are working on. ]

[ Someone isn't avoiding the ocean, but he is being careful. He's the oldest, he does what he wants. ]

I'm using a net but I needed get close to the shore.

I vote we buddy up over some-- [ These busted communicators are really starting to piss Alec off. ]

Investigating that alcohol -- man. All hands on -- [ Alec thinks he's funnier than he actually is. ]

Skinning a rabbit isn't that bad.

[It's bloody, sure, but so are a lot of other things. There's white noise that causes her voice to cut in and out a bit, but the bulk of the message is still there -- audible if you strain.]

Maybe hunting just isn't -- calling? Sounds like you've been doing well with gardening or forag--, though. We need as many -- working on that as we can get.

[She pauses. Hm.]

You know, a buddy system is a good idea.
