[video] un: linneus.

Hello every… ah, anyone who might see this. My name is Linneus. I... am not sure if this is working.

[leaving comments on other people’s posts is one thing, but putting his own out is quite another, and there’s a certain degree of nervousness that hasn’t been present in his everyday interactions, accentuated by the fact that he is clearly chilled and just about holding off a shiver]

I was hoping perhaps someone might be able to help. Someone in Olympia, that is. You see I returned from Wyver just now and-- well, look.

[the shift in camera angle is clumsy, but eventually he steadies the device on his surroundings. A broken-in window, the snow blown inside in small drifts. As he pans it’s clear that what little home he had started to make for himself has been quite overturned, covers tossed back and pulled off beds, cupboards and shelves standing empty, but he doesn’t linger too long on those. His main focus is on the window, one hand reaching into frame to gesture as he draws closer]

I can manage much of the housework and the cleaning, but it’s this is the trouble - it’s sort of a sash window, but it draws to the side instead of up. [a careful tug - broken glass notwithstanding, it’s clearly stuck open] I’m not sure I can manage to take it off its track by itself - I think the glass will break further if I try. But I hoped someone might try and help me with finding a replacement and perhaps fitting it?

[turning the camera back on himself, a slightly shy smile.]

I should forewarn that I may not be capable of instant repayment, but I would consider myself in your debt and endeavour to do what I can. I… await any reply, even if you’ve only advice to offer, but I shan’t be instantaneous in my replies, you understand. I have no small amount of cleaning up of my own to do…

If it's glass, I should be able to help you. And I just got back into Olympia.

I would much appreciate the help. It is glass, so far as I can tell - it seems like it was broken to get the window open...

[granularity]

I can fix the window and I should be able to move it into place. Where are you?

[inaurare]

I hope so. The wood may be splintered, though; it is difficult to tell...

[hopefully it is just caught on its tracks?]

My house is number 74.

[granularity]

If it is, I can go get some tools and make adjustments.

Eh, I'll bring the tools anyway. OMW.

[ ooc: I was going to give him a log today; should I set up a continuation there or here? ]

[inaurare]

Thank you, that is very kind.

[but, um...]

What is "omw"?

((If you're making a log anyway :) I won't be back to my computer for a bit, so I probably won't be able to do one myself))

[ He starts collecting his things to make his way there. ]

OMW means 'on my way'.
