[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.

[ Anyways, that's a line of thought he'd rather not entertain too hard for too long. ]
American? No, I'm from Fódlan. [ That's not entirely true, but again, old habits. ] I'm sorry to say, but I have no idea what American even is. Actually, I don't really know what half of what you said means. I think I follow what calls is. I know what text is, obviously, but I gather there's another context here that I don't have the full insight for. Memes and video streams, though, I don't even think I can guess on those.
[ He hates not knowing, but he doesn't let on that he hates it. ]
But I'll work on getting a bow cobbled together and we'll get some food to everyone. Probably a little faster than a few snares that way. You got any takers for the cooking step yet?

[And here is where Ren activates her litmus test for how old someone is; usually used on ancestor spirits, now in use on...well they might be spirits but] Okay, dumb question. D'you know what a television is? Like, how would you describe a TV?
'Cos tryin' to explain memes if you don't even know what TVs are is going to be complicated and I might have to draw it rather than word it. [She is, by her own admission, not very academic.]
Tooru offered to help out. Seems like he's feelin' better after the stupid bugs made him ill.

Well, I'd say that...TV is two letters. I'm extrapolating here that it's short for tele and vision, though how those words mean something together, I wouldn't know. I'm dying for you to explain it to me so I can lord this newfound knowledge over everyone else from Fódland, though.
[ His smile is all charm. He might be totally full of shit, but he means that last part. ]
Tooru? I met him. I'm not a super picky eater, but I hope he knows how to grill up some meat.

But lucky for Claude,
she managed to roll two successes on three diceone of her packmates is a Glasswalker who likes to talk a lot, so her explanation is relatively good.]So, say you're watchin' someone tell a story? Normally you've got to be up close to hear and see them. With a television y'can hear and see that story from the other side of the world. Someone makes a recording of it - a copy of what's happening right there, as if you was watchin' it, and then - and sends a copy of that recordin' to the televisions. Televisions are like...uh, like big mirrors, right? [And Ren gestures at the size of a small television set.] But like cube, 'nd there is a glass plane on the front.
When you look into the glass plane, you can see and hear that story as close as if you was there in person. Only, people purposefully record stories and, uh, events and news, so everyone can share and hear them. Sometimes they make stuff up, like plays? 'nd people get paid a lot of money to make the plays and shows for the television.
[She daresn't tell him about cinemas.] Uhhh, I might've explained that bad. Normally I'd just hop on my phone 'nd show you, but I ain't got it with me. I'm always losing that sucker.
