Video | UN: gaia
[Cue a video image of a teenage girl about sixteen years old. She's been around Trench for a few months and some might have seen her in passing. Today she's indoors near what looks like a kitchen hearth. Occasionally dog with brindle fur and pushing the upper range of mid-size wanders in and out of frame during the video, looking for pets. Which are given. Indoors as she currently is, she's wearing a touch of classy clothes she's managed to get together and has definitely polished her look for this video; hair falling about her shoulders, cosmetics applied, the like.]
Hello, everyone. My name is Gaia. I thought I'd make this video call, both to get to know some people and find out a few things, especially now with spring well on the way. If anyone's willing to help answer the questions or just get to know one another, please feel free to respond.
[Gaia reaches for the omni and adjusts it to pan over the hearth area. One might notice there is a lot of cooking ware, utensils and the like arranged neatly, but somewhat cluttered around the cooking hearth. While some things look like they're in use, others are borderline decorative... although still something that can be used.]
One of the first things that come to mind is that I've collected an awful lot of items I'm just not going to use. This is just an example of what I mean.
[Gaia recenters the omni on herself.]
Besides the market and barter with Trench residents, does anyone get together for some type of... I don't know what you'd call it. But where folk can bring their extra items and exchange them for something a person might actually need. Instead of messing with blood or gems or stones for currency, just focusing on exchanging the items.
[Yes, she's describing a swap meet. The teen then reaches off to the side and brings up a bag of seeds.]
I live in Feed, but I'm not really knowledgeable about raising animals. SO I thought I might try to grow some crops. I got these from one of the locals and I have a basic idea about how to plant them but I honestly think these are a little beyond me. They're oats and I was told they're great for storing long term, it's just all this stuff about planting times and harvest yields feels a little bit over my head. If there's someone who's good at explaining this in... well, simpler terms, I'd appreciate that.
Oh! I have some crops already. It's just the way oats were described was a bit overwhelming. So if it turns out they're just not for me this year, I'll be fine.
[After this, Gaia sets all things aside.]
I realize I haven't really been socializing. So I'd like to get to know people. I also wouldn't mind learning skills with being self-sufficient. A friend had been teaching me a lot but I haven't seen him in a while. [A pause, faltering over the dismay before schooling herself.] I also feel it's probably a good idea to find people to practice combat with. I know magic and some combat skills, but I'd sometimes prefer to improve them when I'm not fighting for my life.
So if anyone has information about the above or anything to suggest, feel free to reach out. I'll be here for a while.
