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

[lightgunhustler]

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.

I'd be happy to help. You would like me to make the announcement for you?

[tryingitall]

[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.

[lightgunhustler]

You announcing it would probably get people's attention a lot more effectively than if we did it.

[She's with you on this, Balthazar.]

Aside from that, I think we can handle the rest.

[kore_npc]

Very well. I will do that soon.

Could you explain what you mean by a buddy system?

[tryingitall]

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?

[lightgunhustler]

That's simple enough to work, I think. Three or four people is better than just two, in the event that both people who had been paired up could conceivably go missing at the same time.

But that's the idea. Just make people accountable for one another and encourage them to use the registry to make note of who's here and who's not, as needed.

[kore_npc]

That sounds reasonable enough. I'll be sure to announce it.

[tryingitall]

[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?

[lightgunhustler]

More than doable. We appreciate your help on this one.

[kore_npc]

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? ]
