Day 219 [Open]

[daughterofursa]

Who: Zuko and anyone
Open: Open!
When: Day 219, morning
Where: By the lake
What: Being Paar's secretary
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Honor

Zuko can be found by the lake shore, on the Dragonfield side, with a few piles of stone slabs nearby. Many here should clearly recognize the marks carved into the stone as Dovahzul, and some of Paarthurnax's students might pick out the names and skills of those in the Bastion. Zuko has a stack of paper in her lap and is transcribing them with a writing brush. For the ones she understands, she's also adding a line in her own language (traditional Chinese to any Earth folk), and for the ones she doesn't, she's leaving space until she can ask Paarthurnax. Every now and again she makes a note aside on a separate sheet, more for herself.

Some of the turtle ducks are milling around in the water nearby. One particularly curious one is hanging around by her inkstone and probably in need of being shooed away before it gets ink on itself.

I think it needs to be more than that.

[She isn't sure what exactly, but she knows even she's guilty of going out alone if she hasn't seen anyone around to invite along. That's not healthy for them.]

...I'm not sure what we could use either. It's hard to get used to thinking that we can just create things like that.

[littlerat]

[ He nod, understanding. ] It's the type of person too.

[ And the type of attitude they had, whether arrogant or on the opposite spectrum. He himself might be in the same group, but Red wouldn't say he's alone - not when he has six pokémon with him. ]

If that Colin guy is our expert on technology then he'd be the better person to ask. You tell him what we want to do and maybe he'll come up with something easy for most people to use.

[ Hopefully. ]

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko shakes her head.]

Like you said, you have to know what to ask for first.

Is there anything you feel like we're missing here, besides training and a better way to share information?

[littlerat]

[ Hmm, what else? He looks off in thought, tapping a finger against his leg. ]

Knowing what's available, a way to share information... if we can put down what people need from out on the Skyway or get with the Monument, that would be helpful too, [ he moves his head from side to side, frowning some ] but that probably comes under sharing information.

[ ... ]


... I think we should try to find a core.

[daughterofursa]

...I think that's related to the same problem. We're all looking for things out there, but we don't tell each other where we've searched.

We probably have to look farther out, too. That's dangerous alone.

[littlerat]

Mmm. I want to put a group together, actually. I was going to ask you if you would want to come with me, too.

...Or come with us, whoever us ends up being. [ Because 'with me' sounds too much like him playing leader. ] I've asked some of the other trainers and they've said they want to look too, and then we can bring along anyone else. I spoke a few days ago with someone who can search cores out on the Skyway, but he only picks them up if they're out in the open.

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko looks a little surprised at that. Still not used to being thought of or included.] Of course. I want to find one, too.

But what do you mean exactly, someone who can search out cores?

[littlerat]

He said he has a sensor here in the Bastion. I don't know much about it, but it can find cores - or detect large amounts of energy like a core would have.

But it has to be out in the open. If it's in a building or hidden somehow, he's not going to pick it up.

[daughterofursa]

Well, that's limited, but it's better than nothing.
