[Voice] Complaint #4, Appeal A-1

[brothersboots]

Who: Edna and whoever
Broadcast: Yes it is
Action: Blameless or Iskaulit afterwards
When: December 5th

[Video is pointless and she doesn't want to bother with text. It's hard to text and play with her pets at the same time. So, voice it is this time for her.]

I know there's a lot of humans on the ships, but what about non-humans? Seraphs, daemons, swords, weirdo fae-cat things... I know we have those, but who else is here? How do you cope?

And for the humans, I guess, how do you feel about being surrounded by those that look like you but are definitely different? Is it weird for you?

[It's philosophical. How about you answer her now?]

Who: Riona and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Blue Fish if desired
When: December 4th because i forgot to post it yesterday whoops

[She's smiling. And, for once, she looks happy. It's a far cry from her last few network posts, where the smiles, if she bothered with them at all, were forced. Hell, she's practically a little ray of sunshine.]

And here I thought I'd never be so happy to see the cold stretch of space, but I prefer it to the cannibals. So here we are. [It's only a part of why she's so happy, but that's not for this post.] A concern I had back there - amongst many others - was the well being of those here in the fleet who do not know how to fight or are unable to. Many have offered lessons in the past, but I am not sure if those people are still here and if lessons are still being offered. If people are, please let us know here. Rather than having to scour the network, people can just go to this post to find out.

That being said, I'm willing to offer lessons to those interested. I strongly recommend people know a means of fighting. Using the guns the armories provide is all well and good, but if you can't access one or lose it, or if a fight turns to close quarters, having a means to fight back can mean the difference between life and death. I can offer lessons in basic hand to hand. And also in sword fighting, which I'm a fair bit more proficient at. I'd need to acquire training swords. Preferably wooden ones, but blunted metal blades would work, too.

Probably would hold them on the Iskaulit, in the black box theater. Place isn't seeing much use. And if people want to just come by and watch how a lesson goes, there's seating in there.

Thank you for your time. Here's to hoping the next stop is a tad quieter.

Who: Felix Harrowgate
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Iskaulit - Library + newly opened Magic Lounge!
When: Today!

[As the broadcast begins, Felix is seen sitting in a large chair against a wall. The organic curve of it marks it as clearly belonging to the Iskaulit somewhere. Just at the edge the frame is a large window showing the slow drift of stars outside. He smiles warmly in greeting, as always.]

Hello again, fleet. Specifically, I should say, those of you with magic talents of any kind...I can finally announce that my new study lounge is ready for general use.

[He briefly, shakily, turns the communicator around to show the room outfitted with bookcases, cabinet, and chairs, lit by the warm glow of candles mounted on metal wall sconces. After a moment, he turns it back around to his face] I've moved what little books we had on magic to this room exclusively. Additionally, I've amassed a collection of spell components free for general use to anyone that requires. You're of course welcome to add to it. I can't think of everything, given the array of magic systems represented. Perhaps most importantly, there is a set of workrooms adjacent that I've warded for safety, should anyone wish to do any practical work. If anyone so desires, one of them has a rather basic set-up for potion or alchemical work. I'm trained in neither, so if it's missing anything you're free to refine it as needed. Whatever your discipline, this should provide a safe space for us to work and study.

I don't intend to restrict access to the study completely, since that's far too much trouble, but I will provide keys to the workrooms for those that want to use them and keep their work safe. Naturally, space is limited, so some of you may have to share.

The lounge is accessible through the library. It's the only door, so I'm confident it won't be a trouble to find.

[He glances off-screen, towards the door that leads out to the library, a thought occurring to him] And while I'm on the subject, submissions for material written by fleet members is always open. If you feel inclined to write a study or a book of any kind, you can send the file to my communicator to be added to the library's digital catalog.

Don't be strangers~
