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

[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

As a matter of fact, I am. The islands seem to be running on the barter system as it is, anyway, so presumably we'll be able to work something out with our customers in time.

[She is- she'll freely admit- greedy, but she's practical enough to know that you can't make an economic system work unless you have things properly set up to support it. If this does end up turning a profit somehow, great, but if not then at least she'll be having fun.]

[She nods in agreement, already starting to mentally run through ways to make this work and the supplies they might need for it.]

I'd say it would be a benefit to everyone, if we can. We can't force people to work together, but if they become more willing to cooperate with one another then we'll be able to accomplish a great deal more than anyone could alone. Community building is how that starts.

[Her business might be large and successful now, but at the beginning Muffet was essentially running a local, personally-organized charity with a staff of herself and whichever family members she could rope into helping. The Spider Bake Sale wouldn't have succeeded without group effort, and she knows it.]

[Oh, Muffet's far from unaware of the potential for gathering useful information this way- she just doesn't see the problem with the two of them benefitting from something that also helps others. Ideally, everyone walks away from a good bargain happy.]

I think I have a decent idea of what I'll need to bring in for food supplies, it shouldn't be too difficult. As for the building repairs themselves, I admit to knowing relatively little about architecture, but I can help with the heavy lifting.

[Like many arachnids, Muffet is surprisingly strong for her size. ...Also, there's always magic if something's too difficult, magic is usually pretty helpful.]

[Muffet looks equally unthrilled at the idea.]

We can work with that if we have to, but honestly I think if we're going to be trying to cut down trees anyway, it makes more sense to start in the nice, non-psychically-threatening forest we have here already.

I suppose I could just stand on the desert side of the river and toss a line of magic at the nearest tree, then try to pull it over...

[Yes, Muffet did just suggest fucking lassoing a tree like that's a totally reasonable plan. In her defense, it worked with Ignis?]

[Aw, fine. Operation: Tree Lasso has been put on indefinite hold. Because you have no sense of adventure.]

That does seem like a sensible precaution, yes- although we do still want to stockpile food beforehand, even if we won't be using these buildings in particular.

[Look, she's spent most of her time on this island being sensible at people, let her have this one crazy plan.]

It would probably be best to ask the Storyteller before using their temple for anything, out of politeness. But assuming they agree, I think perhaps a slightly smaller stockpile in both locations might be safer than a larger amount in one spot- that way, there's another option should one of the two be unavailable.

[Ideally they'd have a lot more backups, but their supplies can only stretch so far and she's trying to be realistic.]

As I mentioned, it's been something of a work in progress trying to figure it out.

[Muffet is more than willing to ask the Storyteller, next chance she gets- she's on decent terms with them, and she holds politeness to be important enough that she'd go to the effort even if she wasn't.]

I also don't want to spread our resources too thin- it's a tradeoff between quantity and quality at the moment, though it'll be less so once we've had time to build up our supplies further.
prettypurpleparlor: I'm sure you must be weary (Who sleep upon your bed)

We can probably wrap this soon, unless you want to do more with it?

[personal profile] prettypurpleparlor 2018-01-07 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
To say the least.

[Muffet's tone is grimly sympathetic. She spent the first couple decades of her life without ever seeing the sun and she's not thrilled about going back to that, but someone has to organize this shitshow and it might as well be them.]

If we can find volunteers for the job, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have people guarding the mana pools during that week- the last thing we need are those creatures the Jormun mentioned using them to take us by surprise.
