(no subject)

Who: Magolor and eeeeveryone (who wants in)
Where: Chillin' outside the housing complexes
When: One fine day in the beginning of August/Achtom
What: Everyone loves a good survey, and even if you don't, you're all getting one anyway.
Rating: G, no warnings here
Note: I'm happy to match your preferred format, so proceed as you wish!


[Could Magolor have done this over the network? Of course. Maybe people would have appreciated that more. But that's not how he chooses to go about this: over the network, he'll be easier to ignore, and that's no good. And over the network, he can't give anyone any earnest handshakes or touches on the shoulder to contribute to his bank account, I mean, the wellbeing of this planet! Praise Diacht!

So instead of ringing up the populace to ask for their input, he's doing this old-school.

Upon leaving their houses today, anytime between midmorning and late afternoon, any character is subject to being hunted down and approached by a perky little hovering alien with a clipboard and pen in his hands. He's pretty fast in waving people down, and pretty relentless:]


Helloooooo~! Won't you spare me just a moment? I promise not to keep you! You'll be glad you did. This is for the good of our community, and I can't do it without your help!

[He at least sounds and looks very earnest about this, like a bright-eyed canvasser on their first day on the streets.

Or maybe it's something else. Maybe you've seen him lurking out there for hours now and want to give him an earful, or like, a snack or something, which would be much appreciated. Maybe you have some bone to pick with him. The world is your oyster! He sure is making himself obnoxiously visible.]

I think for the food, we simply have to rely on cooking the old fashion way. For now, I haven't encountered a case that requires an emergency.

[With a thoughtful look since Magolor brings up a good question.]

If I could ask the Gods anything, is more books in the libraries with the knowledge that is applicable and of use. I haven't seen a pharmacy either containing much-needed medicines. It was something I am trying to work on, but I have no idea where to start.

[With a nod.]

I am. I was thinking about it. However, I am out of practice and my methods are old by most. The healing I know is limited to herbs, making tea, acupuncture, and energy healing. What it is, I would transfer my chi, my spiritual energy to the injured area and heal it.

If I have the right books to study, I can remember.

[With no medical staff or even a hospital, and Mu has seen the accident with the lightening striking robot in one of the storms.]

True, but in a real emergency, that could mean trouble. I am interested in saving lives. Until then, while I'm looking for a solution, I hope we can hold ourselves together.

[For now, Mu discovered this lack of resources fairly quickly.]

It's true there are limited resources. For one thing, this is what I discovered. I have difficulty finding wood and paper. I managed to find wood to make a flute out of it, but it cost a lot of dora due how scarce wood is.

[It's highly likely his notebook is overpriced due to the rarity of paper in this world. He simply smiles as he sees him taking notes. For Mu, he didn't mind exchanging notes. But Mu learns to input that in his tablet by typing words in.]

I noticed that when I'm in the library too. There aren't any paper books, though I keep looking for it. All I find are these tablets.

I suppose that's why they kept all plants in the botanical garden.

[OOC: This is my reference! It was recently updated.]

[With a nod.]

Tree-murderer? Well, that makes the two of us. I'm old fashioned myself, written everything by hand. Typing into the tablet is something I need to get used to.

I think you should check out the library sometime. Their collection of stories isn't anything I have ever read before. I find most of the stories can be quite robotic.

[That's a pun. It comes to no surprise if most of the authors are robots and were very clinical, sterile, and scientific in their thinking in their texts and literature.

A pause, a beat. He realized he haven't been properly introduced yet.]


Ah, I didn't catch your name. I am Mu by the way.

[Mu isn't used to handshaking, being reserved by nature, as he typically bows or nods usually. But in this world, a handshake is valuable.

So he offers Magolor his hand for a handshake.]

[It was a firm handshake, so Mu held his hand. He doesn't let go for a while either. Despite the world has a currency of dora, physical contact is just as valuable if it helps the dying gods and this world as he believes everyone was brought here for that reason...to save the world for that purpose. So it's something to get used to.]

Magolor...that's fine. I'm new here myself, so I'm just adjusting and trying to get settled. I wouldn't mind exchanging notes of my findings as I'm studying this place.

[With a nod, Mu tries to get his name right. There aren't many people he knows from the other worlds being the city is all the world they know, enclosed within a heavily guarded wall. But it's good to know who are his allies here.]

So we're friends now. I'll help you and you help me. So if you need help, let me know.

[At the mention of entertainment.]

Have you seen the movies or tried the VR cafes in the entertainment district?

[He sees him casting his judgment there.]

You did? I see. I haven't seen such technology back home, but then again I spend more time living out in nature. So the entertainment in that district is something new to me as this world is too technological to me.

[Anyway, that's a firm handshake and Mu is going to slowly let go for now.]
