I'd like to take a moment and pick up the thread of Taryn's post the other day regarding setting our sights on grander ideals: namely, the resources needed for the aftermath of node destruction or deactivation near the bigger Pres cities. Resettlement's only part of the equation, but it's crucial in the aftermath of effectively ripping the carpet out from under their feet. A lot of us have been where they are. The benefit of a solid foundation after a traumatic experience can't be understated.

After having been to all three of our strongholds, these are Resettlement's top contenders for priority resources:

• Space. Simply put, right now we don't have the space between all three strongholds to house the displaced until they're ready to be assimilated into one of our cities or a Pres city. Somewhere like NYC alone has 8 million people. Our biggest stronghold is in Russia; it can hold a maximum of 1000 people, not including our operatives. The Kamchatka Peninsula has a ton of abandoned Cold War-era bunkers. I'm betting on us to be able to secure another one and retrofit it to our needs.
  
  
• Medicine and medical supplies. When I touched base with the Mjóifjörður stronghold this morning, they mentioned at least 70% of their new displaced need medical care unrelated to the effects of the node destruction. Meds for chronic conditions, anti-inflammatories and antiseptics, Insulin, adrenaline, puffers. Leadership said most of who brought their meds with them will see it run out by the end of the month. Our Kamchatka stronghold is holding up with the medical needs for the moment, but their medical facilities could be improved with more beds and overall supplies. An MRI machine would be huge.

I'm feeling good about how if we can continue with the success we saw at Lammu, especially with that huge reduction in casualties, then we can see expansion in other operations. You've/we've got this. What are all ya'lls thoughts on the above?

Unrelated to the above, I had two people back out of their tattoo appointments next Saturday. If you had a concrete idea or even a concept of an idea, let me know and I can pencil you in. We can workshop whatever you want.

I'm gonna go kiss someone in the library now, sorry Niko.

Your curls and cheekbones are a great combination. I guess I’ve never really thought about it before.

[archiees]

Well, you're noticing the great combination now at least. 😉

Your lips are kissable, or nice, she said, nice, right?

Shepherds

[andcaboodle]

Don't fuck your roommate

Shepherds

[archiees]

What you mean? I didn't say that.

Shepherds

[andcaboodle]

You're thinking about it

Shepherds

[archiees]

And I should not think about it.

Shepherds

[andcaboodle]

Correct. It's messy. There's a ship full of people you don't live with that you can try to get with instead.

Shepherds

[archiees]

Well, the ship is kind of close proximity. But I see your point.

Shepherds

[andcaboodle]

It's not the same as sleeping a few feet from someone. That can get real awkward real fast

Shepherds

[archiees]

I see your point. He is hot though.

Shepherds

[andcaboodle]

He's very hot. So are plenty of other people on this ship. Surely there's someone else who's caught your eye

Shepherds

[archiees]

I am not here to hook up anyway. So, you don't gotta worry big bro.

[twinstudies]

She said nice, but I think it’s fair to say there’s an implication of them being kissable. Although I think all lips are kissable. I’m not really a lip purist.

[…] What’s that smiley face? 😉?

[archiees]

Lip purist, I don't even know how that would work in practice. Lips as a rule are kissable since that is what you can do with them.

Just a winky, smiley face. You know.

[twinstudies]

Well I don’t know, is the thing […] Oh, okay! 😉

[archiees]

If I were in person, I would have winked after I said it. why am i still trying to explain myself

Don't mind me.

[twinstudies]

But I do mind you, since we live together. In fact I try to mind you more than anyone else, because typically you’re like 3 ft away from me when I’m dead asleep.

[archiees]

You're safe! I wouldn't do anything! Well, if you need assistance, I would be happy to help. But like not anything to you did not want, consent is king. omg i need to stop

[twinstudies]

[…] OH I SEE I mean, I mind you because I want us to have a good roommate relationship and I don’t want to annoy you or make things unpleasant for you. But if I don’t mind you so well and end up annoying you, and you decide to dunk my hand in warm water while I’m asleep, I wouldn’t be bumped or anything. I mean I would, but I’d just sort of accept it. Like when my last roommate drew something on my face because of my snoring. That’s why I sleep at an incline, now.

[…] I only ask that if you do decide to prank me, don’t dust me in flour or sauce or anything like that. We have to be mindful of our resources (as noted by Jax above).

[archiees]

Oh! I wouldn't do that to you. No pranks. We can definitely coexist comfortably in the same space. You're good people. I like you.

[twinstudies]

I like you, too! Except you shouldn’t like me, because I’m ontologically evil. […] 😉

[archiees]

Great! Good, glad that is settled.

[delilahs]

That was the implication, correct!

This flirting is cute though

[twinstudies]

Thanks, Delilah!

We’re just having a chat about being deemed attractive by you. And winking.

[delilahs]

The wink is absolutely flirtatious
