[It had been nearly a week, and Oscar was becoming worried.

Lessons he has learned on the other side of the Dream had taught him that sitting in the worry and letting it overcome him did no one any good-- least of all himself. Knowing this, Oscar tentatively turned on the Audio function of his new device and, with an obvious case of awkward nerves, started talking.]

Um... Hi.

I'm Oscar Pine and... I'm sure some of you know me already, but some of you don't and that's okay.

There was just a couple of things I wanted to say.

First: I know that things have been stressful lately and that we all need something to do, so I'm willing to teach people how to garden if they want a hobby that lasts a little longer than baking all the time. I'm a farmhand... And I did the baking thing. Growing and taking care of your own vegetables helps a little more, for a longer time.

And-- you can share your extra zucchini with your friends and loved ones. Isn't that cool?

I managed to bring along some seeds to get started. Just... Contact me if you're interested.

... and thanks, Mako, for the idea.

Second: is anyone else having trouble sleeping since they got here? I know being nervous makes sleeping hard, but this feels different. Anyone have any ideas about why this is happening, or how to help?

Last: ... I don't know about everyone else, but there's still some people I'm looking for that haven't come ashore yet. Can people just...chime in to let everyone know that they're safe? And let us know if there's anyone else you're looking for?

Maybe we can make everything a little easier if we work together. I don't know...

I'm just kinda worried, and some of you all probably are too.

[ Mako is very, very glad to see Oscar here safe and whole, even through the awful haze of this placeless anxiety.

His smile is tight, but it's there. ]

Hey, you're the one doing everything. I just pointed out the obvious.

[ Just, you know, making that clear before he shifts to the more serious topic. ]

Doesn't seem like anybody's sleeping great. I'm not, Wu's not, and it can't be our blood, because it isn't the same. Could be like October. Something in the air.

[justoscar]

Ruby's not. Willow's not.

[Oscar shook his head-- the list, and the overlapping factors, were too tangled for him to figure out.]

Maybe it really is something in the air. That's even more reason for people to learn to garden, if they want. So we can have something to take care of and be proud of... and keep us on a schedule, since no one is really sleeping.

[arclightning]

No better time to learn new skills, I guess. You ever taught people before?

[ Because Mako's about two days from making his own offer of lessons, and he's still trying to work out how that all works. ]

I can't see it being anything else. It's too widespread, and so far there's no common factor. Maybe something people ate. What've you been eating since you got here?

[justoscar]

No, I haven't.

[He only had the memories of lifetimes as a teacher-- if he chose to seek them out. Oscar did not like searching through the memories held by different lifetimes, but he would if it was necessary.]

I know I can get tips from Uncle Qrow and Ozpin, but their methods are more hands-on, and meant for combat instruction.

Someone told me to look for a guy named Shiro for a few different ideas?
