008 - dragon dragon rock the dragon

Who: Clay Terran and Everyone
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Vanquish cargo hold
When: Early morning of 9/11

[He's honestly not sure if the fighting up on Solrius is done or not, but that doesn't really matter. When the feed turns on, Clay's in the cargo hold of the Vanquish, where there are about two crates on a trolley and ready to go. It's not apparent what's in them, but that's what he's going to address.]

Hey everyone. By now, I'm sure a lot of you now about what's going on with the planet Solrius. There's a man and a dragon [Sorey and Mikleo], and they're tearing the civilization up there apart. I saw it myself a few days ago; a lot of the trees are gone, the earth itself took a big hit, and a good chunk of people there are homeless now. They destroyed a lot in those past few days... and they're part of the fleet.

I know we don't have much longer here, but I don't want to leave a planet in shambles after they offered their home to us. [He tilts the comm to give the crates the center view.] I don't have a lot of credits, but I tried to buy what I could to help. There's some blankets and water, first-aid kits, food, some new clothing, and cleaning supplies.

[It helps that he got a pretty hefty paycheck just for being marginally involved in this whole thing, though the thought of that made him feel awful. Hence, using all of it to buy what he could to help.]

But this isn't nearly enough to help them. I'm going to be heading up there tonight, but if any of you want to drop off anything that could help, I'm in the cargo bay of the Vanquish. I've attached a list to the bottom of this of the things we need, and if there's anything else that can be added, just let me know. If you just want to give credits, I'll go out and buy some more supplies for this.

- blankets and pillows
- clothes of all sizes
- bottled water
- non-perishable food
- first-aid kits
- cleaning supplies
- towels
- personal care items
- buckets
- construction supplies
- baby supplies
- toiletries
- silverware, paper plates and cups
- dolls and toys

I'd really appreciate anything you can do to help.

[Plus, this... kind of takes his mind off of what he learned just a few days ago, his fate back at home. So while the distraction is emotionally (and financially) taxing, it's still a welcome one.]

Clay - I can use my magic to duplicate things, other than the food. I probably could, but I don't want to risk it here just in case.

I'll come with you. I can help them rebuild.

You can do that?

[Holy shit he learns the most awesome things about his crew every day]

Alphonse is coming with me. Could you come too? Would the planet itself be a good place to risk it? [It's big and wide open, after all.]

[Well THIS is turning out to be an awesome day, especially with Kylo showing up and scaring Poe.]

I know some Savvy shops on Cirrusa that might be able to help out. I'm not part of the faction, but I can see if they'll set up discounts or something.

[After all, Solrius is Savvy's main turf, why wouldn't they want to help rebuild?]

As long as I have something I can make more of it. I can transfigure things into other things, too, but I can't do that to food. It's against the way magic works.

[ But... Clay probably doesn't need a run down on Transfiguarional Law right now. ]

I can do it anywhere, so I'll come with you. All you had to do was ask.

[The relief is tangible, and it's very apparent in the way Clay relaxes and lets out a sigh.]

I was really hoping you'd say that. [He gives Alphonse a smile for that] They definitely need it. We're not going to have a lot of time, is that okay with you?

[He's not sure when they're leaving, but considering how long they've been here already? He imagines it'll be very soon.]

[Kaworu shows up in the cargo bay once he's taken the time to read Clay's list and rummage around in his own things. He's carrying two shopping bags full—full—of travel-sized soaps and shampoos. His greeting is simple: ] I saw your post, Captain.

[Oh - There's a good idea.]

Yeah - If you tell them what's happening, I'm sure they'll want to help in some way!

[Sure, there's other factions up there, but Savvy is the most dominant one. Clay would have a hard time getting into the actual Savvy areas, being more of a Spirit/Moxie person, but if Pinkie could do that...]

If they don't know already, they might want some proof of what's happening. I can send some pictures of the destruction to your comm device, if you want it.

Thank you.

[His crew is definitely coming together, and it really warms his heart to see. It's the first really good thing he's seen in a while, not counting Apollo's arrival.]

There's some other supplies on the list that I couldn't get, and we'll definitely need more food and water in that case. But other than that... You guys are the best.

[That and Savvy's the most oriented to survival and healing, they'll have all of the vital things and stock, and be able to send word to any healer friends.

She tries to put on a brave smile at that last suggestion.]

S-sure, that works...

Edited 2016-09-11 22:46 (UTC)

Well, I can summon water, at least.

[ And she says it with a wry smile, looking a little sheepish. ]

I just want to help. You don't have to thank me for that.

[Clay's sitting on the floor by the crates, passing the time by playing Flappy Marsiva and trying to get a high score. The voice, however, makes him look up (and get a game over again), and... whoa, whoooa.]

Dude, this is exactly what we need! [He reaches out to take the shopping bags, checking them over to see what's inside.] You really came through. Thank you!

[. . .]

Or, I won't do it yet since we don't know if they need it yet. Just go ahead and let them know what's happening! Heck, I can come with you!

[Surely he's got some green clothes around and can act the part...!]

[Green might be respectful, but he'll be fine with Pinkie, everyone knows she's neutral.]

Yeah, that can work too. I'll send you some coordinates to meet at!

It's the least I could do, [Kaworu says, although he's—and he knows it—projecting. This isn't Earth. Once his hands are free of the bags, he slips them, as usual, into his pockets.] And I have some funds saved up; I don't spend my money on very many things. [His paychecks have dwindled a little, recently, compared to how they used to be, but... well, again, he doesn't buy stuff frequently.] Those bags are what I already had, but I'd like to go out and purchase more.

Though, [and this is why he came to consult Clay in the first place,] I'm not knowledgeable in what sorts of things to buy. I read your list, but are there any specifics I need to know? I'm not always sure about what a person needs in order to be healthy.

[Oh captain their captain.]

I'm working right now, but when I'm finished for today, I'll see what I can do for medical supplies.

[He still doesn't have a lot of money ~~because he's boring~~ but he's had a job most of the time they've been here, and it's probably enough to chip in.]

Edited (word...) 2016-09-11 23:04 (UTC)

"Alchemist, be thou for the people." I can't just sit by and watch something like this happen.

[He nods.]

I'll do what I can in what little time we get there. Atroma will have to forcibly take me.

We definitely need medical supplies. I got some, but not enough for a village, let alone an entire planet.

[Granted, he doesn't know if the whole planet needs help, but enough destruction was made that they might as well gather as much as they can.]

I won't be heading out until later tonight anyway. I want to gather what I can before I make the trip.

[Considering going there and coming back takes a while.]

[Natasha comes down to the hold shortly after Clay's broadcast, coming to take a look at the crates in person. Not that she doesn't trust his inventory, but she's always been the type to confirm things where she can.

She might be looking to run into the captain face to face, too. Talk in person rather than via video.]

[a while after the post is made:]

how many credits do you need

Still, though! I've got the best friends. And the best crew.

[HE'S SO PROUD OF THEM. Though he does have to warn her:]

But honestly, I'm not sure if the fighting's done up there. I haven't gotten any word back yet, so we'll need to be careful while we're up there.

Same here! They'll have to drag us away kicking and screaming!

[But while he's at it:]

Just to let you know, I'm not sure if they're done fighting the dragon or not. So while we're up there, we'll need to be really careful while we work.

Okay! I'll let someone take my spot here just in case more supplies come.

[He wasn't really planning on going out except for the rendezvous that night as well as going out for extra supplies if he got more funds, but this is a good opportunity.]

Ah - yeah, I should probably specify some things in case non-humans read it...

[He bends to take the clipboard with the list on it, already putting a number beside soaps and shampoos. After that, he'll start to write in some details.]

For personal care items, I was thinking along the lines of toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair brushes, hair ties, shampoo and soap - which you brought a lot of, and deodorant. And for baby supplies, there's diapers, bottles, baby wipes, baby food, blankets - if we could get supplies to make cribs, that'd be great. Alphonse is coming with me, so he can use his alchemy to ake them into beds for them.

Let's see - for non-perishable food, there's... hmm, crackers, applesauce, canned food, pudding, fruit cups, granola bars... ah, cereal and jerky, too, and rice and pasta.

Anything else you need to know?

[Clay's pretty much planning on hanging out in the cargo hold all day to take in possible supplies and to guard what he has, unless he gets more credits to get more.

It's kind of boring, and so his thoughts wander, and not really to good places. But when someone comes in, Clay looks up, then smiles and gives a wave, sitting up from his spot beside the crates. Ah, good, a distraction, and maybe some help.]

Hey Natasha! [He holds up his comm device.] Did you get the memo?
