snowblindrpg | [network] @ASolomons; audio, evening of 205 [open]

A couple of nights ago, Charles brought up a very good point. I'm sure you've all seen it by now. And I think that even if no one but the explorers is taking the food and supplies left, he's shed some light on an important issue to consider for the future.

[There's a creak of a chair as he adjusts, still struggling to get comfortable with his broken ribs.]

So what I'm suggesting here, right, is a system of accountability. Those of us who are leaving supplies will leave our contact information - names and usernames, with a request to give us a ring when supplies are taken. And that, yeah, that'll serve two purposes. One, it'll let us know when a supply point is running low and needs to be restocked. And two, if many things are disappearing without any messages to us, it'll let us know that something might be going on that needs to be looked into.

I, for one, would very much like to know if the supplies meant for the explorers are being misappropriated.

[He gives a significant pause here, wanting that to sink in. It's no coincidence that this is coming right on the heels of House's post about him. If anyone who isn't exploring new areas is taking food and supplies that are being left, he wants them to know that he specifically is paying attention.]

Now - it's true that things aren't very centralized here. Yeah, there hasn't been much communication. And therefore, I think that most of us are gonna be understanding towards those that might have taken things out of ignorance - not knowing that they were meant only for people traveling into unexplored areas, where useful tools might be especially needed and town-provided food might be hard to get to. But I would hope that now that this has been made clear by both Charles and myself, you'll all keep this in mind for the future - and, of course, return any supplies you might have taken that haven't already been used up.

Thank you.

[He cuts the feed.]

Hardly. I've been chased more than once though, so thank you for your continued concern.

Still thinking you can play the hero?

Certainly not. I've been given a better grasp of the limitations of certain individuals here.

Mm.

Well. I'm not actually concerned anymore.

[Because he found out who Pierce's adversary was, but.]

I feel relief on your behalf. Concern from you probably leads to dire consequences.

Now, that's not very nice.

Neither is stealing I'm told.

Yeah.

[Stealing is worse.]

So neither of us are particularly nice men.

Suppose not. What sort of not nice man are you?

The secretive kind. If you would like to exchange, you are free to go first. Perhaps we might even find common ground.

I think I've already gone first.

By admitting to thievery?

I'm a gang leader at home. I've not been secretive about that.

It's true, but you seem far more than that.

Do I?

Certainly. Just look how people react to you. Tell me, what was the primary goal and role of your gang?

If we're going to have this discussion, why don't we both come on audio? Text is not the place for this.

At this point, I would rather not. I like my flattery viewable.

You can translate audio to text, if you like.

But how else will I get the blood flowing back to my fingers?

[It's a joke.]

You're not making me want to have a proper discussion with you, mate. This is no way to do it. Lucky for you, you can find the answer to your question if you look around a bit. I've talked about it on the network.

Why don't you tell me what you do, now?

I'm not making you do anything, as is the point. I'm a semi-retired politician, and I spent a considerable amount of my life as an overseas dignitary for the United States government. I'm also a spy.

A government spy. Is that right?

I headed a spy branch of the government, but my spying is more broad spectrum
