💀 voice 📘
[The new iStone clicks on, and with a quick clearing of his throat, Kravitz’ voice comes through crisp and… maybe a bit rehearsed. It’s obvious he’s fumbling with the new text feature, so he’s just going to stick to talking right now.]
Our last few months on these islands have me thinking about a conversation I had a while ago with someone who is unfortunately no longer here. While I know we’ve learned quite a bit in the time some of us have been on this archipelago, very little of it is properly available to new arrivals and we risk the loss of this information when people unexpectedly disappear. In addition, seeing as people can simply vanish at any given time, it’s horribly difficult to figure out how many of us we have running around at all. When half of us were children recently enough we couldn’t have told you the information we had as adults, and if that had been permanent, we’d be, well, rather shit out of luck.
[He sighs, trying to collect himself in a way that isn’t just a frustrated ramble, which is also the technical point of this miniature speech.]
All of that is to say… we have a library with books and paper, and if our purpose here is to be telling a story, I feel we should start recording it. I’d like to invite people to come and write down what you’ve learned here, so we can keep a catalog to inform new arrivals and refresh ourselves before we repeat past mistakes. Anything is relevant and nothing is too small not to be marked, so please don’t be shy in thinking someone else has it covered. I’ll do my best to compile the information into something more organized once we have a fair number of responses. In addition, I’d like to keep some record of us as well- your name and where you live would suffice. If you’re all amenable, I would also like to suggest having point people or trusted contacts for each islet and lived area, so if a catastrophe occurs on our shores we’re able to quickly locate and assist anyone who may be in direct peril.
[There’s a slight pause, before he kind of awkwardly adds--]
This is Kravitz, by the way. Uhm. You may have seen me… around. I’ll be down at the library today recording my own experiences. Please let me know if you have any questions.
[ooc: OOC Info on the library is over here!]

I don't know if I should, um, be the person people go to for my islet. Aside from knowing a lot of what is in the library I still don't know a lot about the islands here. Though I am pretty recognizable so maybe it would be ok?
I'll come to the library later, you can let me know where you want to set this stuff up so we can have a dedicated space. It's too bad there's only one desk...
no subject
[He's also just reveling in being In Charge of something again. He's a simple man and just wants something to do, gosh.]
In addition, it's perfectly fine for you not to feel comfortable as a point of contact. We want those who would be confident in a crisis, and there is no shame in admitting that your skills in any respect may not be where you want them to be.
no subject
...and that's nice of you to say but I can think of a number of dragons who would, um, disagree with you on that. I've- I've disappointed a lot of people because I'm not much of a leader and not good at making people listen to me. I think that might be part of why I'm here, to be honest.
no subject
[He hums, a moment of thoughtfulness.]
Well. Regardless of the circumstances, I would prefer that anyone running an important position of others' safety feel confident in their role, if we can. I'm sure there will be others asking to fill these, so you can find something you think you would excel at. What would you prefer to do?
no subject
I'm not going to be a contact, though I'll help people who come to the library. There are people on my islet who have been here much longer anyway, and would be better qualified.
no subject
That is possible, I suppose. We don't know what brings us here, or it could be multiple reasons. Perhaps it is simply coincidence.
[Not that that's reassuring in any way, basically. But either or...]
You know the Library as well as I, but having a dedicated defender will be important. While I am not very far, I have others I must look out for first.
