008 - dragon dragon rock the dragon

[geonomy]

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.

[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?]

[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.

[voice]

[scanninggaydis]

[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.]

[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

[bythewaves]

A kind and wise thought, and one I would be glad to contribute to. Whatever monetary funds you need, I am happy to give from my own account - I have little, I fear [ He actually has a decent amount, being one of the best bards in existence and playing at every stop will do that ] - but you are welcome to all of it.

[ A pause ] ...I do not recall seeing a dragon on the ships, do we know who this was?

[Unlike the usual chirpy and upbeat face she usually shows, this Ahsoka is all business.]

I don't own much in the way of money or objects, but I can help with rebuilding and clearing rubble. I'm capable of lifting multiple heavy objects at a time-- more if I can bring the other Jedi to help. We're stronger together. And I'm decent at basic construction and repairing damaged tech.

I'm not that good at Force healing, but I know someone here who is. I'll get in contact with her.

I have no bottles or means to contain it, but I am able to create ice with my magic, and others may melt it for water. Will that help?

[Dezel told Sora what's been going on, and honestly he's been feeling increasingly antsy about not being able to help directly. So this? He's more than willing to jump at the chance to volunteer]

Oh I wanna help! I've been hanging with Savvy a lot, so I bet I could get some useful stuff!

[ Clearly, Eithan is seeing this a little bit late... but he hopes it's not too late. He's sitting on a rather nice pile of credits, thanks to some street corner concerts he managed to pull off before, uh, Dragon Happened (TM).

So he forwards all of those credits along to Clay's account. Then calls in a message. ]

Hey... I really wanna help out with rebuildin', but I'm... probably a little too beat-up for that right now. [ Understatement! ha. ] So. I'm sendin' you some credits over, and I hope it helps. Thanks for doin' this, man. Seriously.

[ he's kept out of the crisis, out of a desperate need to hang on to some semblance of sanity - it's not like he can fight anyway, the last time he was under attack he ended up hurting himself by shoving his own head into a wall (oops) - but gathering up supplies and donating credits? that's right up his alley.

don't mind the exhausted looking guy just dropping off a small box of well made but basic because of the rush handmade clothes, bandages, and toys, and a bag of food. who also happens to show up there after a fairly large transfer of credits was made. it's not like he was ever comfortable with getting paid for being watched anyway, the money's easy to part with. noticing his presence, winn offers a small unsure smile and a nod, pointing to the cargo he's carrying by way of explaining what he's doing there unannounced. ]

Just -- dropping this off. [ yeah it was a public call and invitation but he still feels awkward just letting himself in. at least he's got some friends on board but he's never actually...been here before. ]

I too will offer all the funds in my account. I do not have much use for the money and if it can go to good use, so be it.

(He feels bad for not facing the dragon - he is a fierce, Elven warrior - but his past has made him fearful of fire.)

I shall look aboard the ship for what else might be sent.

[A dragon... it's still such a terrifying thing to even consider, like something out of some old fantasy movie. Space has been pretty cool and exciting up until now, but this is kind of overwhelming.

Her end goal is the rescue industry anyway, so this... well, it's good practice. And she wants to help. That's what a hero would do.]

If... if you need help transporting heavy supplies, I can do it!

I don't have a lot of money right now, but I can buy a few things and come down to help on Solrius. I can heal people who need it, and I can help organize people too.
