2nd Con [Video]

[verydistinct]

[Some might recognize one of the Row houses behind Eliot Kenneth as he's concentrating really hard on the PCD. Given the first mutterings, the concentration was clearly needed just to get the network post started. The fact that he's shirtless, in the rain, is probably related to the shovel he's leaning on.]

Right, so, I was wondering if there's anything about the land that needs concern towards if one wanted to start growing their own food here. Any help would be appreciated, and I'd be willing to exchange services for it. Cooking, hard labor, hunting if you need the meat. It'd be much appreciated.

I'm no expert, but we're thinking we'll try to plant the heartiest crops we can get our hands on. I'd like to get potatoes in one day. [This is more wistful than anything.]

If you're looking to help everyone out, we're looking for volunteers to help build a fence -- there's livestock here, but it's a pain to catch right now.

Yeah, just be careful when transferring the crops.

[Well, helping people out can get the favor returned. It seems like people might be that way here.]

I know how to make notch type fences, so you'll just have to secure it with rope or wire of some kind, if nails aren't in high enough supply.

See, generally speaking something like that would work, but some of the animals I'm trying to corral fly, so uh... Well, I'm working on a solution. But more minds equal more ideas -- we'd be glad for any help you can offer.

In return, I can provide some fish for now. Salt pork later, if I can happen upon another flying pig.

Flying livestock, huh? It'll take more work, along with netting or something to cover, but still possible. You'll want to make the fence higher than you are and make sure the gaps are fixed so they can't be squeezed through. The only trick would be making a sturdy enough door.

I have access to a forge and with enough scrap, we can fortify anything.

The key part on the door is that it's a few inches off the ground, and getting sturdy enough hinges for the size it'll have to be. along with deciding what way you want it to close. Some people set up a latch, while others get a hook into the door's post and a rope or chain set in a loop.

[Sokka laughs.] We can cross that corral when we get to it, all right? For now, one step at a time.

[A pause.] What's your name? I'm Sokka.

It's something to keep in mind when looking for supplies.

[Nods.]

Nice to meet you Kenneth -- glad to see another motivated individual around.

Well, survival's a pretty good motivation.

[angle_on_it]

Actually motivation is survival -- anything else is just existing. But I definitely agree with the sentiment. Anyway, if we happen to have any extra seeds or any tips we discover along the way, I'll be sure to let you know.

[verydistinct]

Depends on what one counts as surviving, especially when you can decide what you want kind or survival.

[His ways end up with quite a lot of fun. For him, at least. And the women. Not so much the guys, usually.]

Much appreciated. I'll probably be foraging in a few days as well. If I can, I'll try to get extra samples to have transferred.

[angle_on_it]

Just be careful foraging by yourself. [A bit of grin here, and then he moves on.] I'm sure I'll see you around -- we'll talk again soon.
