003 | Day 116 | Private Audio to Edgar Stane & Balthazar

Stane?

[She's not sure how else to address him, really. 'Mayor' feels too formal and she's not sure it's entirely accurate beyond his claims, but calling him by his first name is too far in the other direction.]

If you have a few minutes to spare, Balthazar and I would like to talk to you about something. Whenever and however's best for you.

Check. [Balthazar's listening, and wants to make certain they're both aware of that.]

If you prefer in-person to the network, I'm quite game. Probably it doesn't matter as far as being overheard, though, does it?

I suppose that depends on the nature of the request. We could meet in person, if you like.

I'm currently in the library if you'd like to join me.

I didn't know you were a scholar. The library suits me fine. I'll be there in ten.

[By which he means 'seconds'.]

[ Balthazar's arrival is surprising, but he's happy to wait and make small talk until Jo can get there. He leans back in his seat and gestures for her to join them. ]

It's no trouble. What can I help you with? You said something about safety precautions?

[Balthazar rises when Jo enters, almost like he's a gentleman or something. He stops short of pulling out a chair for her, though.]

There will always be sudden disappearances, but it's occurred to us that encouraging residents to keep track of one another might enable us to know more quickly when someone leaves.

It's definitely a good idea. I know some people in the past have tried to keep up a list like that. Unfortunately, they're no longer here. That would be the sticking point.

I hope you don't think you need my permission to do something like that.
tryingitall: (Angelsplaining)

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-10-02 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Permission? No. Cooperation, perhaps. We need a central location for the register, and town hall was the obvious first choice. That way, if both of us vanish, and you as well, the list won't be quite so hard for the next generation to locate and start back up.

I'd be happy to help. You would like me to make the announcement for you?
tryingitall: (Default)

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-10-05 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Balthazar looks at Jo to gauge her feelings on the matter. Personally, he thinks that would be a good idea.] If you wouldn't mind, yes. Jo and I can certainly keep track of it, though, long term.

[personal profile] kore_npc 2013-10-06 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well. I will do that soon.

Could you explain what you mean by a buddy system?

I didn't have anything too detailed in mind, myself. Just people pairing off or grouping into threes or fours. Everyone checks in with their group every day at a specific time. If something's off, the person to notice should make a note on the list and notify the rest of the Cape, perhaps?
kore_npc: (Edgar Stane)

[personal profile] kore_npc 2013-10-10 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds reasonable enough. I'll be sure to announce it.
tryingitall: (Cas plz)

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-10-11 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Balthazar smiles weakly.] That'll do, then. I have some paper and supplies. Perhaps Jo and I can put a booklet together and leave it at the town hall in the morning?
kore_npc: (Edgar Stane)

[personal profile] kore_npc 2013-10-15 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no trouble, really.

[ He smiles, even as he realizes what he's probably going to have to announce in conjunction with this. How much longer can he hold onto this notion? ]
