[ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ] ; take a step back, i'm on fire

[postictal]

[Hey, everybody, guess what? Tim's been a busy boy.]

alright 2 things

1. i got 30 flare guns. each has 4 rounds with 2 colors: red and blue. blue is if you need help. red is to tell everyone to clear out cause of serious danger. i'm at the storyteller's temple if you need one. don't need to trade anything but like i said i only have 30 so if you travel in a group and keep together you should just have 1 between you all. if you run out of flares you gotta ask ST for more.

2. who here knows how to fight. just putting it out there it might be good to have some people we all know can handle themselves if someone needs help. guard task force security group call it whatever you want itd just be damn handy to know who to ask for in a fight

thats all

FLARE GUN CLAIM ;

[Comment here OOCly if you want one. Please be mindful of other players - if you have two characters, try not to have them both snap up one until we know that there's enough to go around!]

ACTION ; STORYTELLER'S TEMPLE

[postictal]

[Sure enough, there he is: smoking a cigarette with a solid number of relatively worn flare guns carefully arrayed into a pile.]

[Brian could have just written a reply, but for some reason it feels strange and uncomfortable communicating with Tim that way.

(He knows the reason. Static screens and distant words without a face and hiding behind the cover of multiple messages, from different messengers. It's harder to feel okay about it when he can now replay the moment Tim first saw his face over and over again in his head.)

Besides, he has his notebook now, so it won't be so hard to talk. He approaches with a small wave, still unsure of how you're meant to casually greet someone when there's a laundry list of history building between you day by day that now includes: that one time he technically caught you breaking and entering his home, that other time he threatened your life, and that time he tore crystal from your flesh to save it.

Anyway.

He holds up his notebook, message already prepared:]

hey
are there any flare guns left?
im not traveling in a group, so if you dont want to give me one i understand.

[attheclocktower]

I can fight.

I know hand-to-hand combat, one- and two-handed swordsmanship (though I'm better at two). I've also done scouting and recon duty.

- Xion

[postictal]

if someone figured itd be a good plan to make a guard team or something would you be interested

-tim

rock-text

[unpurify]

I am capable of fighting. I possess healing skills as well, along with items capable of the same thing.

- The Batter

[Alpha too, but that's a little more complicated and hard to explain over messages.]

rock-text

[postictal]

[Oh, hey. Baseball dude. He remembers you, baseball dude.]

items that need refreshing im guessing?

-tim

[encircling]

I am a decent enough fighter. I am capable of using magic,
bow and arrows, and a sword. If necessary, I can provide healing.

-- Mira

[postictal]

are you one for working in a group

-tim

[shineinside]

We can both fight, and have some experience fighting monsters. I can provide healing as well as fighting power, but Kyouko's much stronger. I wouldn't mind working in a group.
-- Yuka Ichijou, Kyouko Kougami

[postictal]

you guys used to working together?

-tim

[souris_keteer]

I've got my sword, and I've been learning magic! It's not much now, but I practice every day!

- Mickey.

[postictal]

[Mickey, honey...]

how are you in life or death situations

-tim

[Text]

[yallstupid]

yea i can fight + take a hit well enuff
1 of my pokemon is nocturnal + can make a real good sentry 2 + i think she can make a pretty good security system we gotta talk it over + i gotta test it

[Text]

[postictal]

security system?
sounds like she could be pretty damn handy
be real nice to avoid the same shit that happened with the monkeys

-tim

In the right spot this time.

[prettypurpleparlor]

I know how to handle myself in a fight, though I'm not a professional. My magic is useful for trapping enemies and long-range attacks, close combat would be more of a problem.

I'm also capable of healing myself and others, as well as making food with healing properties, though like most on this island my abilities have been limited.

[postictal]

[Three guesses as to who this spidery, violet writing belongs to. She didn't sign her message, but she honestly might as well have.]

how serious an injury do you think you can cover

-tim

[thermalwind]

You’re right it would be a good idea to set up a security detail. But we need a reliable means of long distance communication or signaling in the future.

Whether a guard is set up or not, everyone having a basic understanding of how to fight or apply first aid could make a difference when trouble happens. I can teach hand to hand or blade work. Both if you’re feeling committed.

- Keith

[postictal]

good to know. flares are good if you’re on the same island but i agree we need something more.

trouble is getting enough first aid supplies for everyone

-tim

[ohnehalfte]

i'm kinda workin' on the fighting thing, but id be better at like logistics and stuff

-newt

[postictal]

how does planning some construction work sound

[jinglejangle]

can't exactly do anything like magic or that fancy sword twirling stuff but i'm a little familiar with combat situations.
not exactly sure that experience translates out here but if you have a use for me, i'll be kicking around.

-j. mccree

[it's not. like there's much else he can do out here.]

[postictal]

robot arms gotta count for something right
ill put you down as interested

-tim

[hellawrath]

I can defs light a motherfucker up, plus some other magic that's handy in a fight. way too busy with my own biz to sign up for some kinda regular guard force tho, but if somebody's in a pickle n needs help I'd be down.

-Lup

[postictal]

should i assume the same of your brother
