welp
looks like we found the new october

[Immediate kill bill sirens at the lack of sunrise tbh.]

if you're not stocked up on supplies do it sooner rather than later
before the other shoe drops and it gets too dangerous to go outside
last time the sun didn't come up it it came with everyone's running water all turning to blood and nobody could sleep while monsters were prowling around anywhere you could get food and attacking your place if you ran out of incense
just because it's quiet now doesn't mean it's gonna stay that way
be careful

[About ten minutes later, the post gets edited with an addendum:]

also i guess if you can't fight and end up needing shit, lemme know

[Look he can't just offer help publicly and not act at least a little grouchy about it. Who do you take him for, Ruby?]

it used to happen once a year back in deerington, but that was ... different, cause its locals weren't real people
(it's a long story)
we thought we might be safe from it here when we got through october without any of that crap but the sun hasn't come up for three days and there's no way that isn't a bad sign

anyway
far as i know, trench doesn't exactly have a government
people around here just do their own thing
(and if you're at all thinking like that means you should suggest we do something about that, don't
trust me, people have tried, it's a shitshow)

ruby rose (@ clickclickbloom) and @ mako have been working on setting up a series of safehouses, though
if you wanna help out with supplies and shelter, coordinating with 'em is probably your best bet

I'm not about to declare myself queen of this place, but there must be people at the school, or the Lumenarium, or the Sanctuary, who are prepared to look after the people of the city, and people at the Watchtower who are prepared to defend it.

I suppose I can speak to them, but it would be better if there were more of us present when I did. [she believes she is only a young girl, and not a very forceful presence. and she is afraid to go anywhere alone, even with lady, under the cnditions of a siege.] At the very least they can tell the people here that they are welcome at our safe houses, and there is no need to raid them for supplies.

I truly don't wish to quarrel, not now, and I may not have been in the world before this one, but I have been in a city under siege, and I know the story of the Long Night, in my world, which lasted much longer than a month.

[although water is one thing they never had to worry about, in the north.there was plenty of ice to melt.]

heh i mean you wouldn't be the first if you did
there was a guy shooting his mouth off on the network about how he used to run a whole planet the first day we all crawled outta the sea

[And that was still somehow one of the more tame posts about the subject. He still remembers the fiasco with Ironwood's attempted power grab and Ozpin trying a counter-grab to keep a leash on the man's worst instincts. Even so, he'd only meant it as a warning against a lot of wasted breath, really. He has no desire to derail the conversation either.]

but that's not really what i mean
the hunters go around killing off beasts that would threaten this city, and the blood ministers in the lumenarium are healers, but as far as i know there just isn't any kind of centralized system to do mass evacuations or alert the locals about things like safehouses
they've got just about the same reach as us putting up flyers all around the city ourselves
