exsilium | Seventh | Audio [Dated Oct 2]

[The audio clicks on and starts almost immediately. The voice is calm and unhurried.]

Welcome, to the new people that've joined us. We're in more cramped quarters than we're used to, but we'll have to get along. Hopefully we'll be back on Earth sooner rather than later.

My name is Blaine and I plan on going on supply runs. There are the obvious things we need, like food and clothes, but any tools, building supplies, or other specifics that people need have to be written down. I'm offering, but can't promise, that I'll fulfill requests when I go back to the past for supplies in exchange for whatever you have to barter with.

If you have something you need, send a text attachment of your list. Include your name, the items you need, and what time period I'm likely to find the items. Include descriptions if it's something you're not sure others would know about, just to be on the safe side. We don't have space to bring back unneeded items. Also include what you've got for exchange.

When I fulfill your request, I'll contact you to come pick it up. If I can't get what you asked for, I'll let you know so you can try yourself or get someone else to try.

That's all.

[The audio clicks off.]

I'll need to meet him first, but I'm sure he's happy to have such a strong advocate.

[He is a bit amused.]

[Don't be amused you don't understand it's better if she goes with someone experienced instead of just by herself probably. He's just looking out for a friend. Person.]

Thanks. I think he's staying in 107 if you're willing to take some time out to visit, or if you just see him he's got sandy blond hair and he's wearing this really cool looking overcoat and a cute hat... Actually, um, it'd probably be easier just to connect him through the network huh? [Ahem. Ahem ahem.] V-E-R-G-I-E-R. That's how you spell his last name. Charlie Vergier.

[A soft hum.]

So why Charlie and not you?

Oh, I'm not that good at anything. I'd be more of a burden than any help.

Oh, come on. Why would I believe that? You talked so well for your friend and being persuasive is a talent.

[Whoops.]

I'm not sure words would be so useful for what you're doing. Wouldn't you be more interested in someone who was athletic?

I'd rather not need the athleticism. I'm not going in with my main goal being to run away at the end.

So what's your plan then?

There's always bartering for services, hunting, or persuading the right people to give you want you need.

[... Raphael ponders it for a bit - he hadn't been planning on going on any unless through disguise out of pure habit - and sighs, giving Fondue a scratch behind the ear.]

Looks like he's caught us, Fondue. [That is muttered, and the dog whines slightly. Sorry dude. Shouldn't have been so eager to put in a good word. Time for Blaine's reply.] Alright. If I can help somehow, I will, so call me up if you ever need my, er, persuasiveness. I can't say I'll be the best at it, since I've never really done it for necessities, but I'll do what I can.

[It's. Kind of true. He's really only used his charm to slip into roles necessary for his heists and the like, but he definitely wants to help where he can. They are all working together. And it'll keep Charlie's suspicions at bay if his integrity is ever at stake.]

[That piques his interests.]

If not for necessities then what were you trying to get?

Out of trouble, mainly.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Like I said, talking your way out is better than running. What kinds of supplies do you think you'd be best at getting?

[He's really got himself stuck into this. Well, there's just no helping it.

(And he thought Simon was a good fisher!)]

I can't talk my out of this, that's for sure. And you're pretty good at trapping - that is, persuading - people too. [Supplies he can get though. Nothing's too much for ~~Phantom R~~ Raphael!] Hm... Well, I'll do my best to get anything that's asked of me. Even luxury items. Though for my own interests I'll never deny a request for information.

[Volunteering someone else is a great way for Blaine to drag you in, too. He laughs outright at the 'trapping' comment.]

Now now, you laid the foundation yourself. I just asked a few questions.

[Thoughtful sound.]

Well, there's information all over. Depends on what you want to use it for to determine where we'll look. We're going to need it before we start trying to ... fix things.

[He just hopes Charlie thanks him later for this. At some point of time.

Part of him wants to find information regarding his father, but this is neither the place nor the time. Literally.]

I'll make a list sometime and let you know. But we should probably find the best, er, times to scavenge from where supplies won't be missed or they're cheap. If I may suggest times of bountiful peace and revolutions? History'll be important to know here.

[Both ends of the scales are often the best. The first for its cheapness, the second for its cover.]

Sounds like a great place to start. I was right about your being good to bring along. Bountiful peace is probably best, since I don't feel like dodging any more bullets.

Dodging bullets isn't one of my pastimes either, so peace it is. I'll do what I can to find some times to check into and let me know if you learn anything too.

Sure, I'll ping you. What's left of the library should help.
