Hey there!

Ruby Rose here. If it's your first time seeing me around then it's nice to meet you and if it's not it's probably great to see you again!

So it turns out that this place is about as dangerous as the dream was. That kind of sucks, doesn't it? I mean- I'm used to all kinds of monsters in my original world but I totally get that it's not everyone's jam. which is kind of why I'm here today.

Back in the dream Mako and Wu had set up a safe house and supply cache system. I think it worked out really well and I've been speaking with Mako and we've agreed it might be a good idea to get that going again. I tried to convince him to get up on video with me but he got all grumbly and walked away. Introverts, am I right?

Ideally it would be super great to get one of these set up in each district but I figure that's going to take a lot of work. So I propose we set up the first one in either the Willful Machine or Cellar Door districts so it's in a central location and we can branch out from there.

Next we're going to need ways to defend and protect the area whether it's people actually actively hanging around, magical protection or whatever cool skills people might have. I'm open to any ideas here. Medical care and any sort of food or other supplies are also going to be necessary too.

Okay I think that's about everything-

[There's a buzz that comes from Ruby's Omni and she glances down at it.]

Oh-Oh! One second- It's Mako.

He's saying "We need to tie this into the network. Ask about extra lamp skeletons." Okay! First off! Rude. They're Cute Little Lamp Friends, don't call them skeletons.

But he's got a point! If anyone has any extra C.L.L.F's to lend that would be a huge help too. Being able to quickly access the locations would be a huge help.

Anyways that's all I can think of at the moment. If anyone has any questions or suggestions I'd be happy to answer them.

Since you're listening to this Mako, you can too!

[She points to her eyes, then back to the camera.]

Watching you.

[OOC: Ruby and Mako will be responding to this post. I've made a handy dandy page for the safe houses here. If you want you can post with how you're character is contributing there.]

Absolutely. I'm here for you guys - no matter what world we're in.

I've still got the honey jar from Sodder. I can put some up in jars to keep in the safehouses. It's healing, and works great on scars.

And sure, I'll head over there after my shift at the orphanage.

[onekindsoul]

You're the best, you know that?

Oh. That sounds incredibly handy. I might have to try some myself at some point. I've been building a collection since I got here.

You're doing shifts at an orphanage? Oh my gosh. You really are like one of he purest people around here, aren't you?

[shiro2hero]

I've got some empty mason jars at the house. I can fill them up and bring them to the safehouse easily enough.

Yeah - they needed another hand, and I don't mind teaching. [He shrugs.] It's just something familiar.

[onekindsoul]

Great! I'd appreciate that. You're already a huge help.

[She nods. She had tried going to school in Deerington because she thought it would be familiar. But it really wasn't the same as going to school back at home. Even in a nightmare world school wasn't quite the same as one designed to train warriors.]

I get that. This is probably about as close to familiar as I'm really going to get. Which is part of the reason I'm doing it. I mean I think it's something we all might need around here. I guess it's just good that we have the chance to find out place here.

If that makes sense.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, I try.

[It doesn't entirely feel like he's doing much of anything except sleep, lately, but he won't bring that up now. It feels like some form of disrespect.]

Yeah, it does. It's going to take a lot of adjustment, but - I think it'll be easier with people like you around.

[onekindsoul]

That's about all anyone can ask from you, really. Or anyone else.

[Shiro sleeping on the job? For shame.]

Hey. If I can make even more person here feel a little safer than that's a win for me. You get used to spooky nightmare worlds, trust me. I lived in one before showing up here.

I mean it wasn't always a nightmare but this place reminds me more of home than Deerington did.

[shiro2hero]

Hah, yeah, all right.

[He is... skeptical of that. He should be doing more, clearly. If people are already this organized.]

Then I guess you're the new brains of the Sleepers.

[onekindsoul]

Uh-

Are you sure about that?

I'm suddenly really worried for all the Sleepers if that's the case.

[shiro2hero]

Nah, don't be.

Look at what you're already doing. What you already have done. I don't see any reason to worry.

[onekindsoul]

Look- Look! I am trying to be like super modest here and you're really not helping the case!

It's nothing, really. Nothing at all. Just doing my job.

[shiro2hero]

You are, yeah. And you're doing it well.

That's something to be proud of. And no, I'm not changing my mind there.

[onekindsoul]

Okay- Okay- Fine! If there's no way out of this I'll take it.

But you've accept the next five compliments other people give you! That's the new rule I decided on.

[shiro2hero]

Oh yeah?

So that makes you the boss? You're the king of Trench?

[onekindsoul]

That's the idea.

I know that there was talks about councils and stuff like that. But I think a full blown dictatorship is what we really need.

Ugh- That sounds gross just saying it out loud.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, at least we know you're joking. It'd be worse if you were serious about it.
