Um, hi. [Even though you can't see her. She gives a nervous sort of hum.] I'm Skyler. I'm new, just came aboard this month. I've been helping out with the clinic data, but I made a post about possibly starting a school or a day care.

It's not much, but someone made a run for me, and there's a few laptops, some games like Oregon Trail-- my son really liked that one, books, puzzles, and a few things for smaller children. This isn't any sort of forced thing. But if anyone wants to come and learn, spend some time away from the war, play a few games, whatever.

You don't have to worry about food or anything. It's all covered. [Here. Have a location.]

And Anne, I think was her name? You are more than welcome to come. [There may be a hymnal or a devotional book.]

I'm glad I can do it. You can come whenever and read if you like.

In that case, I expect you'll be seeing me there rather often. Ah, before I forget...

My name is Alice. Alice Liddell.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[bittertears]

Likewise.

I don't think I've seen you before. Are you a recent arrival?

[launderer]

I am. I just came in this month.

The timing could've been much better, I'm sorry to say.

It could have been much worse, too. [Walt, her husband, isn't here.]

A shame this mess is likely to worsen before any improvement even becomes a possibility.

I guess that's why they say we're here. [Not that she knows what to do.]

[bittertears]

You've no prior background in fighting, or wars?

Re: video;

[launderer]

Nope. Just embezzling money. [Maybe she shouldn't be admitting that, but there really are no fucks given.]

[bittertears]

That's a rather frank admission. [one that Alice wasn't really... expecting.] Should I be concerned over why, and for what purpose?

video;

[launderer]

No. The people aren't here and neither are the reasons. [Walt isn't there, and that's all that mattered.]

[bittertears]

And if either of that were to change? What then?
