Normally I prefer to speak face to face, but this will all have to be in text because I can't hear a thing.

Anyway, there are a couple of things I've documented this month that I think might be of assistance:

First, everything this month seems to be about working together, even working together with people you don't normally interact with. If you'd like to meet up in the Gaze to get to know someone new, I'm Uchiha Sakura.

[ She turns the video on to give a small bow to the network. ]

I'm happy to help anyone earn one of those bracelets.

Secondly, I think if enough people were to set our individual plots of land from the bracelets beside one another, we could actually culture a big garden, maybe with enough people we could create small farmland. Does anyone out there know anything about farming? My knowledge rests more with the medical properties of plants.

Finally, it seems like the focus of the blood changes this month are making people vulnerable in a way which requires them to rely on others. It seems best to support each other on a personal and interactive level, so that everyone's needs can be met.

There are worse things this place could push us towards than cooperation with one another. I hope I can help facilitate that in any way possible.

Hello cotton candy goddess. Please be my master and step on my neck. I am a good boy.

Also, I can farm.

[creationrebirth]

[ Wait what? That sounds...a bit inappropriate. ]

Excuse me?

[azurestar]

[It is very inappropriate.]

I can farm?

Is that why you've been ignoring me lately?

[ She's baffled by this. ]

You thought I was ignoring you??

Oh! I gave my bracelet to Trenchwood Farms. Raleigh was my friend, and the new family there is very kind, too. I was saying that perhaps if enough people gave them their bracelets, they could put in a grain crop. It would be very good for us to have our own, and the agricologists like to put in beans after the first harvest, so we could have them too.

[creationrebirth]

Very good. I hadn't seen anyone post about it this month, so I'm happy to hear that there is already a foundation in place.. I'll spread the word to anyone who responds with interest, and see if I can drum up some further business for them.

Yeah, I haven't been a farmer my entire life, but I grew up in a pretty good area for farming, and got into it before I turned up here.

I've been working at Trenchwood Farm, here.

So - more knowledgeable than some, I guess.

[creationrebirth]

Oh wonderful! Someone else mentioned the Trenchwood Farm to me. If people here already have a place, I'm more than happy to throw my support behind them.

You must know the owner then.

This place does so love to push us into group therapy sessions and to express our feelings with one another. I despise it but I've long since ceased trying to fight against it.

[Maul definitely still wasn't a pleasant person to be around when this place made him be vulnerable with people but he's a little bit better than he used to be.]

[creationrebirth]

Actually, I run a clinic that offers therapy, so I suppose I'm one to encourage talking about feelings.

[ She even offers group therapy. ]

I'll help!

With plants

you can even take some from my shop I can make cuttings

but probably not the nirnroot because I don't think people will like how much they sing

[creationrebirth]

Well, is the nirnroot a good singer?

But, anyway, I will take some of your cuttings. I should share with you my new notes on the medicinal properties I've found.

I'd be happy to donate my bracelet to the cause.
Anything that gives us a chance to eat some normal food around here.

I'm not like a super expert at farming, but my dad had a little one when we were growing up. I can probably throw someone with a bit more experience your way too.

Yeah- Not going to lie I've had to be dragged out of the rain a couple times this month. Thank goodness for a couple helping hands around here.

[creationrebirth]

You're in good company. I don't know anything about farming myself, but I'm good at gathering intel and I had been thinking about how the plots of land might work together. It sounds like I'm not the only one with the thought.

Trenchwood Farms is a great option, but I also heard that maybe using the land at the outpost would be good too.

We really need some form of counsel to discuss these options.

[onerthes]

Having had my senses removed from me in the past, you have my sympathies with that. It can be awful. I just hope you don't lose your sense of touch later this month.

I have never experienced a hell quite like that, but it lasted months so I think the disphoria stuck with me.

RE: the farming, that's actually an excellent idea. I hadn't used my bracelet yet. I was considering using it with Minako to make a small plot on our home, but a thought occurs to me. If enough bracelets were used in conjunction at the outpost, it could have a larger plot of uncorrupted ground with which to grow local fare, and begin to accelerate the purifying of that region.

[creationrebirth]

Oh, I lost my sense of touch just before this. Thankfully I was able to use my chakra control to get a sense of where I was and what I was doing, but it was difficult all the same.

[ At least her idiot husband was avoiding her at the time. ]

I can't imagine losing it for months though, that must have been incredibly difficult.

I really like your idea of placing it at the outpost. I've already been informed about the Trenchwood Farms, but I think your suggestion is a very good one too. I'm going to share that around as well, if you don't mind.

I dont see how making me feel temperatures to the extreme makes me rely on others
But getting the bracelet thing at least seems like a good idea

[Granted, since Sasuke had kept him and Lance in the pond in their courtyard, he wasn't sure if he could be considered someone 'new' to Sakura, but they really didn't know a lot about each other. So, he supposed it could work, right?]

[creationrebirth]

Well, it's not just the temperatures though is it? From what I've seen humidity is making some people feel so heavy they have needed to be carried. Then the dry air is causing others to have such dry skin that it's cracking and they need people to apply lotions. Even the loss of the senses might vary from person to person, but each of these things is made easier when there is someone to assist. Relying on someone doesn't mean it makes the experience better, it just makes it easier.

[ But she's no stranger to stubbornness Keith! And yes, they probably have met more than once in passing, so perhaps she has seen this stubbornness more than once. ]

I'm glad you think so, I've been receivign a couple of ideas of what could be done with larger plots of land, so there are options.

Astute observations, given what little we often have to work with in figuring things out.

I've managed to gain a bracelet that I would be willing to contribute to these efforts. I'm not much of a farmer when it comes to growing much of anything, but I can help with manual labor in preparation and harvesting.

[creationrebirth]

[ The compliment makes her beam. ]

Surveying a situation is something of great importance in my work, so I'm just doing what I can and hoping it helps.

I'm not much of a farmer either, but it sounds like there are people around who are. There is even a farm here that's been started. Another option that was put forth was being a garden at the outpost to help cleanse the area.

Medical properties?

Are you a doctor, by chance?

I can't say I can offer much knowledge about farming. Though if you need any kind of fencing done for the plots of farmland, I might be able to help with that.

[ Because.. boy, has he ever dealt with a lot of fences. ]

But even more so than that.. I just wanted to compliment you on how thoughtful this entire message seems. I completely agree with the idea that it seems the best way for all of us to deal with life here is by helping each other out wherever necessary.

[creationrebirth]

Thank you. I know not everyone wants to pull their weight, but it certainly doesn't make things easier.

Don't worry, I know next to nothing myself. Fencing would be useful though. I was told about a farm here that's already working to get up and running, Trenchwood Farms, and they might need help with fencing. The other suggestion I've received was that the Outpost could use the land to help purify it there. I bet fences would be all the more important at that location to protect the garden.
