(no subject)

hey! a while back at the beginning of the month i talked about getting people together to start forming a training coalition/volunteer crisis response team or whatever (this thing) and then this whole month went completely stupid as usual.
so anyway i still want to do that! i know everybody who replied thought it was a good idea and i am hoping to do the first meeting maybe in the first or second week of may and we just hope that the city is a lot less annoying next month.

maybe may 6th or something?

until then if you did not talk to me about this already and you're interested in training and organizing and being part of a crisis response team let me know.

if you already did, do me a favor and fill out the following so i can sort everybody? that would be helpful.

name:
age:
date you received the retrospec app:
abilities:
other skills/strengths:
do you work well with big groups or small groups:
other notes:

…anyway yeah! any other questions i guess you can ask them here.

Military contractors and university engineering departments are usually pretty well equipped.

To learn weaponsmithing? It depends.
If I can find a good apprenticeship in Respartum I could probably learn enough in less than a day to make something that won't break the first time it's used.
Maybe a month to be able to turn out respectable work consistently and actually repair and upgrade weapons properly.
If I had to rely on muggle teachers it would take a lot longer.

Maybe, but normal people would be a lot better off contracting major engineering firms to build their manufacturing robots.
Or going to full-time garages if they want their car fixed.

The only reason you would want to have a specialist like me would be to do things that normal businesses can't.
Like make decent armor for somebody with four arms
Or make a modified gun that can fire magic bullets.
Maybe fix somebody's personal spaceship.

I used to work as an auto mechanic but I don't exactly have a job right now.

hmm...
what the fuck's a muggle?
but ok, a month is doable if we can work with them but that is just even more people i need to talk to somehow so like. whatever. i will figure it out.

i don't know about that. eren's car's been damaged a lot thanks to shit that happens because of the app. it might be more plausible than you think.

you're right, that's what i am talking about, but it's also a matter of making sure you get paid.
which i guess you could do what elliot does and charge people.
he makes magic food and that seems to work out for him.

give me a few days, let me talk to people and pull strings and i will see if i can figure it out.

It's a typo.
Sorry, cat walked over the keyboard.
I was planning to negotiate with the blacksmiths in Respartum anyway.
After I bring back another of their fire demons. Might help put them in a good mood.

You mean Elliot Fairweather?

huh. weird typo, but fair enough. our cat likes to disregard the fact that i am busy talking to people too so she'll sit on my keys and stare at me for a while.
anyway why not? i didn't go to respatrum, i was in bosuma, but i heard from a few other people it wasn't that bad. it might not be bad to have regions on our side, too.
i know him as elliot craig but yeah, same family! he was one of the first friends i made when i moved here.

It's a pretty nice place if you like forges. And fire.
A lot less freaky than Bosuma, I hear. I've met a few people who were there recently, they didn't like it.

I've never met him but I know his cousins Zack and Natalia. Tell him hi for me.

can't say i have ever been too close to forges but it sounds warm. i can think of someone else who might like it.
bosuma was kind of crazy but everything i've been hearing now isn't what it was like back in february. something's probably up.
oh! yeah, he's mentioned them before. they're on the app too right? will do.
elliot's actually going to be helping me with this project as one of my healers.

If you ask me it was perfectly normal in February. And March.
Kinda makes me miss being blissfully ignorant.

Yeah, they are. Zack's got super-strength and Natalia has magic flying swords. It's pretty cool.

at this point i really need to wonder what the hell counts as normal anymore anyway.
i can think of a ton of people who agree with you though.
huh...think they'd be interested in something like this?

Probably. I'll give them your contact info.

awesome. i've actually met zack before but it's been months. i don't think i've met natalia though so that will be cool.
i appreciate the help.
see you on the sixth?

Just tell me where and when.

You'll recognize me pretty easily.
I'll be the one who's there on time.

i can think of at least one person who'll be there before you, but you got it. i'll send you my address soon and the time.
