[Once Ren sees someone else posting on the network and figures out how to get her DTF to do the same without it just translating text for her, she starts her own quick broadcast. Ren is a young woman in her early twenties with messy short cut hair and visible muscle when she hunkers back into view.]

Hey, I'm Ren. I'm intending on settin' out a hunting party. I'm pretty good at scrounging up resources.

Now I can probably get ten squirrels or other small game relatively easy on my own. But, if anyone else has experience with tracking and huntin', I might be able to fell something bigger with help, meanin' more people can get fed comfortably. So far, I reckon our best bets are the alligators or deer. Deer would be easier to hunt but needs people with light feet, alligator takes more muscle to be able to do it safely.

If you know how to hunt and are willin' to help, make yourself known, but, besides that, people who can cook it'd be helpful too. Or just firewood 'nd stones that keep heat in them.

Looks like from a quick glance over the missions board that we could grab some flowers at the same time 'nd turn them in to creep runnin' the place for a stamp or somethin'? Might be worthwhile if someone wants to come along for numbers and grab that at the same time.

Besides that, if someone happens to come across an axe or somethin' like it, I'd be obliged to get my hands on it.

I'm not a hunter, but I can help cook food. I grew up with an older sister that taught me how to fend for myself, and helped raise my nephew. I can make Japanese food as well as some South American food for some variety if we ever get the ingredients for them.

And if it helps, I can help gather flowers as well.

(ooc: I'm cool with assuming this is after she drags him away while sick and knows his name by this post, time's fake anyhow)

Yeah? [Okay, he's able to cook, that's a note in his favour.] Cool, it shouldn't take anything complex. A stew or even brazing the meat should do fine. From what I understand, there's some forgeable vegetables around the safer parts of the grasslands.

Might go some way towards bein' able to ask for a bloody axe to make this all easier.

[ooc:That works for me!]

[Fortunately, he's not useless, even if he can be childish or stubborn.] That should be simple enough, maybe this peacekeeper can let us get some spices too so we can have some different flavours as well. But an axe would be better to get first, before worrying about spices.

[Would be better than not having anything to use, especially if various things can be made besides stews. Noodles would be nice, for ramen.]

Strange how this peacekeeper expects us to survive, but doesn't give anything to help towards that. Aside from those strange cakes at that party that were definitely laced with something.

Might be able to scrounge something up. [Ren sighs.] We really need to start organising a proper effort between everyone. S'no good if everyone is buggering off and doing their own thing. You only end up with resource hoardin' that way. [But less on society building 101 another time.] I can do without an axe but it's useful for building, defence and hunting.

[And his comment on that does make her smirk slightly.] Aye, but that's intentional, right? The more people have to work together, the more they get t'knowin' each other or taking a liking to each other and-- [She waves a hand. There is a natural conclusion there, right?] everyone ends up real friendly.

You'll get no arguments from me here, already deal with people back home hoarding wealth.

[Even if he's one of them with more than enough money to be comfortable where he's from, being a professional athlete, though he at least has sense enough to help his friends out with that wealth. But it's not like he could just use that money here to help out.]

Pretty sure it is, yeah. Still annoying though. Guess we'll all just have to get "peaceful" with each other to get the things we want or need. Not that I mind that.

Wouldn't know anything about that. Grew up in a commune. If you got it, you give it, you need it, you take it.

[The good thing about werewolf society? Everyone shares everything. Bad thing about werewolf society? Sometimes that sharing has to be forced and then things can get unpleasant.]

Well, yeah, it's just sex right? Not like it's asking anyone to shack up and make families. According to Rose I was somewhere similar to this before. I thought it'd just been a weird dream though.

Never grew up in something like that, myself, but it sounds like the way to go.

[There's a snort as he shakes his head, grateful that no families are asked to be made. Helping raise his nephew, and babysitting teammates kids was plenty enough.]

Yeah, just sex, which I don't mind. If it did ask us to make families, I'd do whatever I could to change its mind. I'm not interested in settling down when I have a career that's just getting started. [A brief pause, raising an eyebrow] What was that place like?

It had it's ups 'nd downs.

[Is it great being supported by a community? Yes, absolutely. Does it get frustrating when you're a teenager ranking to get out into the world and be anywhere other than your home? Hell yeah.]

Oh, so you're what? Like an office worker or somethin'? [Because those are the only people who have careers, right?]

From what I remember of it, it wasn't too different to this - uh - slightly more new? Like, I don't remember it bein' as broken down and effed up as this place is. 'Nd there was robot people running about the place and telling you what to do. And there was none of this punch card, it was more like a chart? Auspicious Acts? They were trying to get people to bang still but [Ren shrugs.] I honestly didn't think it was real. I thought it was just some screwed up dream I'd had 'til I turfed up and clocked Rosie.
