Children (and spider) are leading the way, apparently

My name is Xion. I've been here a couple months now, and there's something I want to talk to everybody about.

The Jormun have been talking about the sun dying. That it's going to be really bad - with darkness and monsters and other dangerous things. But I haven't... really seen that many people talking about it. Or at least what we're going to do. Before I got here, I came from a place where things like this would happen all the time and it helped a lot to work together, or at least not all fight on our own.

And if we're going to do that here, there's different things we should probably do:

• We need to get supplies together. Things like food and water, and clothes to keep warm. Maybe wood for fires too. We probably have healers but medical supplies too, in case powers don't work for some reason, or there isn't one nearby.
  
• We need places we know will be safe. Like camps, or bases. They'll need some kind of defenses, and people there in case monsters try to break through. We should have at least one place too for people who don't want to fight, or can't.
  
• If we have enough people with different skills, it might be a good idea to figure out who goes where, so that not everyone - people who can fight, or heal, or things like that - is all in the same place. Unless we all are in the same place, I guess.
  
• Has anybody talked to the Jormun about working together yet? We should probably figure out if they're okay with letting us help them, and if they are, how we can coordinate.

There's probably other ways we can prepare that I didn't think of. I'm sort of new at this. Sorry.

I'll try to stay around this message so I can talk to anybody interested. Look for a girl with black hair and blue eyes. If I'm not there, please leave a note and how I can contact you.

[True to word, Xion can often be found hanging around the communal rock, with a strange catpup thing in tow, if anyone would prefer to talk to her that way.]

Comments

[Laurent is annotating all over the board, flitting between multiple conversations. He has the quiet concentration of someone doing serious processing work- and he does it easily, linking related conversations up. Framed by the snowbanks around the rock he looks very pretty indeed, poised like a statue with snow-dusted clothes and his hair a halo of gold. He's looking over everything when Asch speaks, and for a moment seems to not have heard it. But he responds, and so he has, though he doesn't even turn away from the rock to return eye contact.]

Then you either take my word or you don't.

[Hopefully Damen has premade his on-behalf-of-Laurent apologies.]

[bloodyashes]

Never said I doubted it.

[He shrugs. Asking questions about people's powers tends to raise questions about his own that he'd rather not answer, especially not with that Storytelling likely still fresh in the minds of many. Hiding his hyperresonance isn't a requirement of his life anymore, but it's still a deeply ingrained habit.]

Then is there a problem?

[bloodyashes]

Not unless you're making it one.

[He's never in his life met someone more needlessly confrontational than he is, wow, high bar there Laurent.]

[crosslaced]

[He's a high flier.

Laurent turns around, his face deadpan, and uses a recognisably Diplomacy voice-]

If you need clarification, no, I have no issues with you.

[bloodyashes]

[Yeah he knows - and dislikes - Diplomacy Voices.]

Then quit being so rigid.

[Snapping at him is like snapping at a honey badger; kind of counter-productive.]

And you're going to make me?
