[Audio | 004: Back in the Saddle] Thursday, Week 11

[pepperspray]

This is an open broadcast, so I'm not going into too many specifics, but I'm taking a trip back to the port town to make some shipping arrangements. This will be a much lighter and faster trip than the last one, as we'll be going on horseback.

Assuming that I don't doom us all with my equestrian skills, I could use a couple people interested in coming along as outriders -- you should be able to ride and capable of defending yourself and, um, me, if it comes down to it. Bring small goods if you're interested in trading for goods or supplies in a more varied market -- like the Old City, the port town functions on a barter economy rather than a currency-based one.

[SO HEY, Pepper's going to try and make arrangements to get a grain shipment for the Old City, since the crops aren't too awesome right now. This isn't a full-on plot like last time, just a little thing what can be done. Bruce-mun's already on board with this, but I could use one more person if you're interested! Got my second person! But Pepper's likely to be making a lot more trips, so if not this time for people, then certainly future. (Or she can set you up to go in your own group too!)]

I will.

[And as his thinking continues, something else occurs to him: that if Miss Potts is going to be gone in a few days, he'd best get some other tasks attended to first.]

I may not be in at the hospital tonight, or not for very long if I do. I think I may take Chime hunting tonight. He doesn't seem to know how to go about it very well yet, at least not without making something of a mess. I'm not sure how long we'll be out.

[pepperspray]

Take as long as you need -- I imagine Chime has a more difficult adjustment ahead of him than most of us. No matter what skills or, ah, talents we might bring, we are by and large human, as are the locals. And he doesn't seem to have the familiarity with other races that someone like Dr. T'Soni does..

Besides, we don't want to run out of paperwork too quickly, right? Best to pace yourself.

[professorwolf]

[There's a soft chuckle.]

Yes, of course. Before I'm relegated to that cartography project entirely. Don't worry about Chime, though. I will be keeping an eye on him.

[And a nose, and probably a paw. The pup's well-being is officially one of his concerns, now.]

[pepperspray]

Then I have absolute faith that he'll do fine here. You seem to have a gift for working with people, Professor.

Do you want me to look for anything while I'm in the port town? Signs of any supplies you might need in future?

[professorwolf]

[Well, some people, anyway. Still, the compliment makes him smile, even if she can't see it.]

I do hope so. I can't think of anything off-hand that I might need from the port town, that I can't find for myself here, unless paper somehow becomes in short supply, but I will think on it and let you know if I come up with anything, thank you.
