Hello everyone. My name is Clark. I'll try and keep this brief.

Firstly, I've drawn up a blank list and placed one on the bulletin board on each housing floor. If those with medical expertise feel comfortable, they can put their name, residence here, and — if they have one — specialisation, in case of an emergency. We have several residents who aren't from the same point in time, so if you'd like to volunteer to update someone's medical knowledge, please mark your name with an asterisk.

Secondly, ah-- [ a bit of a laugh. ] I'm from Kansas, which some of you might recognise as being host to some pretty bad weather. Now, I'm not going to say I'm paranoid, but-- I like to think ahead. So, I've made up some kits with some of the usual survival paraphernalia back home and distributed them between floors. Feel free to help yourselves if you need them.

[ No one has to use them, but he’d rather everyone knows they're available. ]

Thank you for your time.

Hello, sir. My name is Cecelia Wynn.

[ Because she seriously thinks it's weird to not have introductions up front. He at least knew to do it in his message, unlike others so far. ]

I am afraid I am not familiar with Kansas. What sort of weather are you expecting?

[signifies]

Just Clark is fine, ma'am. It's nice to meet you.

We have tornadoes.

[inthemoonlight]

Oh.

[ That's something she isn't really sure she can do. It's his Christian name. ]

Might I not call you Mister...?

[ As in she needs a last name here, sir. ]

And what are tornadoes?

[ Not a lot of twisters in Lancashire, England. Or any. ]

Clark! Glad you didn't get eaten by monsters out there.

[Look at you, being civilized instead of a crazy mountain forest man she almost shot. She even sounds happy to hear him.]

I put my name down like you said. I think it's a really good idea. What's in the goodie bags? Flashlights, iodine tablets, that kind of thing?

[signifies]

[ She came back from the city with him, but he hasn't followed her after that. It's good to hear from her.

His voice is warm. ]

Something similar. Extra batteries for the flashlight, non-perishables. A small first aid kit, et cetera.

@c.d

[staystrong]

Is there a kit for each person?

[Because she might just, you know, gank one.]

[signifies]

No, but there's enough to make one just for you if you need one.

A list of mages and magically-inclined healers would benefit another faction of us. We need to know where the high-end sorcerers are if their talents are required to mend more than flesh.

[ Not that Loki is offering up his signature. ]

[signifies]

I think that might come under specialisation. People are welcome to write it in, or you can ask around.

[Hey, someone who plans ahead and keeps a level head during a...shall we say...difficult experience. Fatima already likes the guy. Even if he's from the Midwest which, as a California girl, she is legally obligated to dislike.]

Smart move, farm boy.

[signifies]

[ Open familiarity makes him wary. Clark opts to be polite. ]

I'm glad I could help.

Sounds like you thought of everything. Maybe they should've given my job to you.

[steve's smiling though. it's good to know that people are already looking out for each other. together they can make this work.]

I'm Steve. I used to have a crush on a girl from Kansas. Her name was Dorothy, maybe you know her.

[and her little dog, too.]

[signifies]

Just happy to help where I can.

[ He smiles at the joke. ]

I do know Dorothy.

[ He did invite The Wizard of Oz reference. It's a simple way to compare worlds. This might be Earth. ]

Do you mind if I ask what year you're from?

[He recognises the voice and the name, but he's not stupid enough to identify himself as Simon here. The whole point of this username is to stay anonymous.]

You should leave some outside the housing building too.

text.

[signifies]

[ It's odd to see a text from a generic ID, but Clark figures they don't know how to customise it yet. ]

That's a good idea, thank you.

I sure as hell hope you made enough of those kits for everyone, I doubt they'll last long.

[The assumption here is: people aren't going to be nice and share, because people are jerks.]

[signifies]

[ People are jerks, but Clark defaults to 'wait and see' before thinking about that. ]

There's enough for some more kits.

Didn't work. Sorry to disappoint you.

[ooc: not making the tdm canon because I am made of fail, sob.]

Gonna dig out a storm shelter, too?

[ The question's only half-joking. He's from the east coast, but his Air Force training was in Texas, and he spent a couple of years there. He knows well what sort of weather Clark's talking about. ]

I've got medical training, although my paramedic certification expired a few years ago. More importantly, if things head south, I know a lot about getting people out of any kinda wreckage there is. Even aquatic. Got survival training, too.

[signifies]

( fine by me! )

I was considering it.

[ The city officials didn't think he should. Clark would've done it anyway but the storm didn't necessitate that, thankfully.

He listens to Sam speak. ]

Sounds like you're the man to call.

[fingerstripes]

Appreciate the thought. [ Any recognition there is carefully scrubbed out, but there's an undeniable warmth lurking in the tone. There might actually be no one else he'd rather be stranded with a dimension away from home. ]

If the supply end is ever a problem I happen to know a guy with a knack for acquisitions.

[signifies]

I'll be sure to let you know.

[ He puts the warmth down to a natural friendliness. Clark responds with the same. ]

Mind if I ask where and when you're from?

audio; @r.palmer

[keepitup]

This is a fantastic idea Clark. Mind if I go to the other floors and write my name on their lists too? I'm not a doctor, but there's a lot I can do to help in a pinch.

Oh and I'm Ray! [ His voice is just as animated as you might imagine. ] From Washington.

[signifies]

Pleasure, Ray. You're more than welcome to.

[ Wow, great enthusiasm. Clark smiles. ]

When are you from?
