Mass Text

[adamparrish]

[ Normally Adam might have just kept this text to his core group of people. But he knows some people outside of that now, a few he might even call friend. So he sends this text out to the masses. Short and not so sweet as Adam is. ]

So. Someone shook the world and turned out the lights. It's not electrical on our end of things, already tried to fix it.

Everyone okay?

I'm fine. Does this happen a lot?

[adamparrish]

It's never happened since I've been here. Do you have any ideas of what it might be?

[championinquisitor]

No, but I've never seen electricity until I came here. Looks dark outside, too. Like someone took out the sun.

[adamparrish]

There's going to be a lot of people here who don't know how to live without electricity. You can help them.

[ Adam has an idea of how it is. Sometimes the bills didn't get paid at his trailer in the park. ]

I'm Adam.

[championinquisitor]

I'm beginning to think you're right, especially if this keeps up for long. I guess this is payback for everyone having to teach me about electricity when I got here.

[ it's... hard to joke around over text. ]

Alaina Trevelyan. [ not that anyone here has any idea of the weight her name carries, even without the inquisition's backing. ] It's nice to meet you, Adam. Do you need any help with anything?

[adamparrish]

We've got a few candles and a lighter. Food's gonna be hard.

[ Unless Ronan gets to dreaming before the ley lines crumble as the buildings have begun to do.

Adam's name isn't weighty at all. In fact, he's hardly noticeable unless he makes himself so, like with this text. Still, he's been getting better about meeting new people. Alaina seems nice so far. Which is good, because the alternative would make Adam clam up faster than anything. ]

I think I know how to make a fire. And we still have some food. Eventually, if this keeps up, I think people, the whole city, is gonna need food. Do you know how to do that?

[ can she help? she's helped and saved so many people during all of the mess with the mage rebellion and the orlesian civil war. she's helped set up camps and strongholds, collected meat off rams in the hinterlands for the starving refugees, located caches of supplies, and even brought the dalish elves pelts they could turn into blankets and warm clothes.

yeah. alaina can definitely help. ]

Leave it to me. Do you know how much wildlife there is here? And if you want, I can make sure you know how to light a fire.

[ no one is dying or starving out here on her watch. ]

[adamparrish]

[ Surprisingly this teenage boy knows the wildlife situation well. He spends a lot of time in the forests, not hunting, but repairing the mystical ley lines that run through them. He is the magician, after all. He can fix things that other people can't even see. ]

Yeah. There's lots of deer and pigs. Birds. That's the bulk of it. But sometimes there are strange things in the forest too. Creatures I've never seen before.

[ Adam has a theory that the creatures change with who is in Itinere and who isn't. They come from the worlds people are from and disappear when those people are gone. ]

[championinquisitor]

Consider it done. I can drop the meat and pelts off with you or stockpile it in a central location for anyone to find.

[ she's good at marking caches and making sure people survive through whatever means necessary. ]

What else is out there?
