1 🕷 TEXT

[webdesigned]

[ username: beaker ]

( it's taken him awhile to build up the courage for this one. he wants to make this idea happen, yet a part of him wonders if he's the right guy for the job. without Clark he'd floundered a little, yet the need for a stable medium for sharing information remains, so here he is.

he waffled over voice, video, and text. in the end, he goes for text, because it makes him seem less nervous. maybe. though anyone that's texted him before might notice the difference — all the capital letters and punctuation, for example. lazy texting doesn't work when you're trying to convince people you want to put together a newspaper. )

Hey. Hello. I'm Peter, and I was thinking...

So back home, I worked at a newspaper. Not The New York Times or anything, but a paper, and it feels like we could use something like that here. Stories about what is going on in Olympia, or Thesa, or anywhere that people might need to know about. Classifieds, updates, tips for finding work and accommodations, sharing... anything and everything, really, because we're all starting over, here, and we've got to help each other.

I've got lots of ideas. Maybe you've got some, too. Either way, I can't do this by myself. If you have experience in journalism, or just writing, and you want to help out, then let me know.

I can't pay you. Gotta be upfront about that. But maybe that'll change? I dunno. Money or not, it'd help a lot of people. If that's worth it to you, then let me know if you're interested, and what you'd like to do. Questions, too, I guess, though I can't answer everything yet. It's kind of all up in the air until I know who I'm working with.

Yeah. That's it. Thanks for your time.

( ...okay, not a #nailedit, but... it could have been worse??? )

Good evening.

[ The feed clicks to life to a modestly dressed (that is, modest in means, not necklines) but well-kept young woman, seated in the likely familiar mid-level chaos of refugee housing. The walls are not well-painted, and the quarters a bit close, but it's what they're all dealing with, or have recently, and Max is no exception. ]

Like the rest of you, I am finding myself starting over in this place — finding work, building a life. Given the nature of our presence here, displaced from our homes and our histories, it seems the only base of support many of us may have is each other.

So I wondered if those of you who have found your feet might share — what work have you found yourselves suited to here? How are you making your way in this world? Or how do you plan to, if those plans have not yet come to fruition?

And how does that compare to your ambitions? Is the position your hold now everything you had hoped for, [ unlikely, her tone suggests, but feel free to surprise her, ] or is there more that you would seek to accomplish? Perhaps there are others here who could lend their aid, or whose ambitions might align with your own.

[ Perhaps Max can help. c: ]

( one. ) voice • scientia potestas est [ id: nightingale ]

[ettersberg]

[ thomas nightingale does, in fact, know how to use a smartphone. he's owned one for quite a while before the end of the world; google maps in particular has always struck him as rather useful. the knowledge of how to operate such a device comes in handy now as well, though he's not entirely sure yet why he's bothering.

(the answer is peter; peter would want to know and nightingale would hate not to have any answers at all by the time his apprentice wakes up. because peter will wake up, surely. eventually.)

so there is no fumbling, no pauses when the device clicks on except deliberate ones, and a smooth, very british and posh-sounding voice inquiring: ]

It seems magic is not out of the ordinary, here. Someone has already inquired about those who believe in or practice magic, but I'd be interested to hear how magic was regulated, if at all, in your worlds. That, and whether there were particular ill-effects to it.

[ here, there is one of the aforementioned deliberate pauses. ] I'd also appreciate hearing of your experiences with employment.

Thank you.

hello.

today, i got to wondering:
what kind or thoughtful thing has someone done for you recently?

[pricechecked]

[It's later in the day and the bomb has gone off, but someone hasn't yet heard about it. He's got a slightly more pressing question right now. It's a good one, really.]

HOW DO YOU FIGHT A PERSON WITH A GUN????

[He's also kind of an older guy too. Texting doesn't come natural to him.]

Video | UN: link

[courageunforgotten]

[By now, the bomb's already been set off and the city is in full damage control and/or panic mode and he'll be on the site soon enough but for now it's time to check in.]

I heard what happened. Is everyone alright?

Zelda, Mipha, where are you?

[Quick to the point and direct as ever. He's concerned for everyone he's spoken to and met but those two are the focus of most of his concern right now.]

If anybody's sick and needs help, tell me where you are and I'll come find you.


[OOC: Network post for now. If anybody wants Link to find their character or just meet up during the chaos, let me know and I'll set up a log as well.]
