Hi Fablelanders!
I'm really hoping I'm not stepping on toes with this but it came up on plurk and making a post seems the best way to get thoughts organized. So, the game's a little slow, I think we've all noticed, and I think we'd all like to do something to give it a little kickstart. We've got a bunch of characters who seem to be the sort that are Get Up And Do Things people, which means that we should have them get up and do things. Of course there's going to be an upcoming December update but in the meantime:
So, uh, thoughts are welcome, no idea is too crazy, let's make some things happen!!

→ organizing some sort of a town meeting! Rose has volunteered Kamala (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
morphogenia) to actually set something up for characters, but the reality of things is that it might need to be OOCly discussed more than ICly played out, just given time zones and all that jazz. But basically, making sure everyone knows everyone else (so characters who haven't met in a thread can handwave meeting here if necessary) and for characters to figure out who knows what/does what in terms of survival skills. So please feel free to chime in below with what your character might have to offer and/or thoughts on getting characters to meet and such.
→ exploring the sleep mechanic thing (meaning the thing where, no matter where characters fall asleep, they're transported back to the cabins mentioned in the November update) and starting to really explore the island. To that end I'm planning on having Bucky post in the next few days with attempts to get increasingly further away from the central cabins in doing some basic exploration. He'll be documenting his attempts (if we can call it that) via the mirror shard, and characters are of course welcome to join him or just chime in via the mirror; I'm planning to have it be several instances of attempts over a couple of days so there's plenty of opportunity for people to interact however they wish. I'm hoping it'll help open up the basic lay of the land for people as well as the limitation of the sleep thing and maybe spark some discussion between characters on what could have brought them here/what is keeping them here.

So Lance here is... not that great at survival yet but he's getting places, he's been here a few weeks and since he's constantly around Keith who somehow did the whole "surviving with nothing but a knife" thing for two years, he's picked up a bunch of things. Basic military training also helps, to be fair. He's not super-anything, but he does have good eyes?
all the better to watch your back withHe's a good shot, though he'd be much better with a rifle or gun than he currently is with his improvised bow. (Better at ranged combat than up close and personal for sure.) So hunting is a can do. Fishing is out due to circumstances, but he might be able to do that once some fish come back closer to shore. Not as good for gathering though (at least anywhere except around the Southern Shores, that's more his climate). He could in theory cook? He's not spectacular at it, but he won't set anything on fire that's not supposed to be.
Lance will be happy to meet people he hasn't met yet! Town meeting sounds very good for sure. He will happily explore stuff for sure, he's eager to find some clue about what brought them here. Experimenting with the mirrors sounds good too.

Actually I was thinking of making an open action post about it? But it's definitely a thing that should be brought up at the town meeting. Fake sky, fake Earth, fakey fake fake.

I definitely think that the knowledge that Lance is good with firearms is going to keep Bucky's attention. If he does decide to give up a gun to someone, he's going to want it to be someone who knows what they're doing since ammunition is limited.
I'm also laughing at the fact that the first person who can cook is going to be elected like town leader or something, because it seems like we have a group of people who all suck at it!

Honestly same? I mean... Lance would be better at it if they had stuff he's more familiar with but... rice is tough to scavenge and there are none of the spices he knows? Do they even have salt??? ... I guess a trip to the southern shores could fix that if they get creative at least. But yeah, he'll still manage, but he'll also happily leave it to someone else who's better at improvising.
