[Locked to Luceti residents]

[malnosso]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

[Wow. This is going to be such a mess, isn't it?]

Remember the good old days when we used to wonder if there was anyone else like us out there?

I'll start hunting. I know how to prepare any of the meat I catch. We can fish too, but it's going to be slim pickings thanks to this drought.

[screw_fate]

I think you've got the right idea of it. If supplies are limited, we'll have to manage with our own.

[markofthewise]

The forest is filled with meat. It would be crazy not to use it.

[screw_fate]

Meat, vegetables, edible leaves and roots as well. If we're to feed half the residents of another enclosure with "limited supplies"...

[markofthewise]

What we really need are some good nets. There's bound to be good fishing out on the ocean. [He'd been thinking of the lakes, but of course there's the ocean out there.]

[markofthebrave]

[Simply:] I can help with that.

[Her voice is a little tight. Making and mending nets had been one the women's major responsibilities back home. And while she has her bending...]

[markofthewise]

Thanks. I've never been that good with those.

[He knew how. But there were so few times he ever had to make any. Maybe it was time to put some effort into that.]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah. How many are you thinking?

[She's very, very focused on this right now. One thing at a time.]

[markofthewise]

One. A real big one, for the Ocean Spirit.

[It's about time the boat was used for something more than the occasional three hour tour.]

[markofthebrave]

All right, I'll see what we've got.

[She's not sure about their supplies are like for net-making.]

We're going to need to put some people in charge of rationing, even the fresh meat and fish. We've got plenty of resources, but if people don't know how to use them, then they'll just be wasted.

[Half-eaten animals everywhere, people just getting for themselves and moving on...]

We need to do this in a way where we can keep balance.

[Depletion of resources through carelessness = baaaaaaaaaaaaad.]

[markofthewise]

So. We need a butcher to keep the store stocked. [A pause as he thinks about some of their own people.] Probably a lot of butchers.

[markofthebrave]

How many people here besides us do you think know how to do this? I trained Fenimore, but... that's about it.

And how are we going to keep track to make sure that people only take enough for themselves?

[markofthewise]

Well. Ed mentioned his teacher worked in a butcher shop. Maybe he does? [But yeah. He can't think of anyone else.]

But I'm not really sure. Back home, people just kind of... knew already.

[screw_fate]

I'm not precisely a professional at it, but I've had enough survival training that I can manage. Most of my people should be able to do the same.

[markofthewise]

Good. The more help, the better. At least this way we can, you know, take turns.

[deathsdoctor]

I have a couple. You're welcome to them.

[He fishes for recreation. They are not big nets, but they catch fish and are right now in good repair.

Might as well put them to use when he'll be too busy to be out on the water.]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks, Trafalgar. That will be easier.

[generalflirt]

Sokka, this worked in the lake and I have no idea if it'll work in an ocean, but humor me- for fishing, would a powerful jolt of electricity or a magnetic field help you for catching things. If it does, Linda and I can help, if it doesn't, then that's fine.

[He's followed the rest of this thread so he has a fairly good idea what's going down and... he remembers when him and Linda messed up shallow fish using her abilities. He might as well see if it's applicable for the ocean]

[markofthewise]

[... ahh, Masaomi. Hm.]

I don't know. It's different than fishing on a lake. We're sweeping the fish up, not waiting for them to come to us. Besides, won't Linda be uh... weaker?

[generalflirt]

She would [And she's going to be pissed], but I meant until it kicks in - you're relying on Appa anyway, until then. You're the boss though, if that's out, it's out.

[markofthewise]

You can come, but you may end up stuck over there for awhile. I'm sending Appa back so he doesn't get stuck with us.

[In other words, you might end up stranded unless you fancy some mountain climbing.]

[generalflirt]

If you think you can direct us to be helpful, I'm okay with that.

[If. Besides, he can haul nets too. Aside from being ready to soldier, something like that probably suits him best]

[markofthewise]

It doesn't take long to learn. It's just kind of unpleasant. You don't get seasick, right?

[generalflirt]

Give me some credit! Japan's an island nation, you know! [...Probably not. But then, he hasn't spent a ton of time on boats]

[markofthewise]

Okay, okay. But if you end up vomiting on deck, you're cleaning it up yourself.
