[VIDEO] a public service announcement

[kore_npc]

[ Feed flickered on and Edgar, as it seems, has made himself incredibly busy creating makeshift traps for the creatures that still lingered on outside. He scrubbed his hand down his face as continues on sharpening what used to be the fence in front of the home he had procured for himself. Edgar glanced down at his communicator; once, twice, before he stopped what he was doing. The others could only see him cleaning off his hands before lifting his communicator up. ] I’m sure we’ve all been here long enough to know when things are not being handled in significant ways people who call themselves “professionals” are handling a thing like this. Now, it goes without saying that there is about as much sense of community here as one would expect from a group of strangers all gathered together by circumstances out of our control. We’re looking for a way home, we’re looking for stability, we’re looking for guidance; no one has a clue of what we’re doing. But I know everyone in this place is trying. And kudos to everyone. You’ve survived.

We are surviving. The wolves. The saber-cats. The box. [ He paused for a brief moment, taking in a deep breath. ] But I will reiterate; we’re not a community, we’re a group of strangers. People have been needlessly attacked by those animals. What happened with The Box was a gross negligence of people not working together to come up with a solution. Instead we had our brightest out there instead of some muscle; our doctors and a teenage girl. One of ours were injured for Christ’s sake.

From what I can see, we have a wide variety of people. But we are a people divided. What happened with whomever or whatever came out of the box could have been avoided. But it isn’t the only danger we’re in. We all know that. It’s getting to the point when we walk out of our houses and the hunt begins. None of us should be living in fear. None of us should feel less secure than others. The only way I see this working out for anyone is becoming a community. Let’s face the hard facts here people, we’re stuck. We should continue searching for a way out, but doing so individually won’t get anyone anywhere. We all need to be on the same page here.


Aside from that, I'm building traps for the animals. The kind that kill. If anyone wants me to set up some around their house, don't hesitate to ask.

Edgar Stane, out.

[This is not a pleasant smile. It may seem like one to those that don't know her. But... it's not.]

Hi there. Edgar, is it? It almost seems like I suggested this a while ago and no one actually listened. Do you know why that was, Edgar?

[And there goes the smile...]

It's because people won't just come together and unite without some kind of leader helping the process. Be it elected official, chosen deity, loud-mouthed meathead or military presence. Are you willing to be that leader, Edgar?

[kore_npc]

[ You are an unpleasant girl, aren't you Lydia? But Edgar doesn't allow the expression of annoyance to play on his features. He just listens to what she has to say. ]

I can imagine that the reason why no one listened had something to do with your approach to individuals, Miss Lydia. [ He offered his own not so pleasant smile. ]

I don't believe this place needs a deity that we follow nor a...loud-mouthed meathead. We need someone to take leadership, I agree. It is a position I'm accustomed to.

[preytosociety]

[She is a delight!]

My approach isn't on trial here. Your leadership will be.

[kore_npc]

[ Is that what they're calling it these days? ]

I await it.

We can only become a community if everyone is willing to chip in. And I'm not so sure everyone here even wants to work together. We should bang the stubborn peoples' heads together and then enjoy a nice cup of tea - while avoiding being eaten to death by animals...

[kore_npc]

[ He lets out a short laugh. ] I would have to agree on that. Most people here seem to have the lone-wolf personalities and want to stick by it. I'm holding out hope once they realize that's dangerous then they'll come to their senses. Or...we could bang their heads together and enjoy some tea. It sounds like a more productive use of our time, Miss Noble.

[noblexcompanion]

Or we could have some kind of meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other and share cake.

[kore_npc]

An icebreaker would give people the ability to mingle among each other. Especially with what's been going on around these parts. Something to build up morale for everyone. [ A pause. ] Would you be willing to putting something like this together, Ms. Noble?

Or even getting a small group together to plan it?

[noblexcompanion]

I'll see what I can do.
