[network/audio] @LELRIC; GUIDES; Day 62

[armoured]

A: Network (Audio); Morning; Open to All

Hey, everyone, it's Alphonse here.

[He clears his throat a little awkwardly. He hates having to open the wounds of Clarke's death, but it's necessary to touch on it when discussing the guide she made.]

Clarke hasn't-- she's still gone, but her work and the efforts she made to try and help everyone here aren't something that we should let fade away. I've taken over maintaining the survival guide that she made. I've done some editing to make sure the information is as up to date as possible, but a lot of the people who offered to be listed there in order to help aren't-- they're not here any longer.

[Which is a nice way of saying dead. Well over half the contacts on there, not to mention the two original authors, are all dead and gone.]

So I'm asking for anyone who has useful skills, knowledge, or just a desire to help to come forwards so that we can make sure there's always someone to turn to if they're needed.

Thanks.

[And a link to the survival guide will be put up for general perusal.]

B: Network (Audio); Evening; Open to All

[As night has fallen and Al is faced with another long evening of being trapped inside, his mind turns to how to keep morale up here. It worries him that people like Zack, who had once been so full of hope and fire, is now so drawn and subdued. This place is rough on them all, the losses and injuries of dear friends take their toll on everyone, and it's easy to lose hope.

It scares him that eventually people will simply stop fighting, and he can't let that happen.

Maybe he can make a slight difference just by breaking up the serious discussion over the network with something lighter, something to help people ease their troubles just for a short while and remember how to smile or laugh. But he doesn't really know any jokes or funny stories, or-- or does he? Tim has, after all, taught him one joke from his home.

A self conscious throat clearing echoes over the tablets, before Al pipes up.]

I think I might have found something important, but I'm not sure what it means. Could you help me?

[This link is sent publicly out to everyone. The man playing in the clip is Tim Wright. Al still isn't sure why this is supposed to be funny, but he hopes he executed the joke right based on what he was taught.]

[Steve doesn't understand that reference, but he at least can figure out when a reference is being made. ...Still.]

I don't think that's how the song goes, Tim.

[maskintape]

that's the point
I know how the song goes ok don't make me break out the ukulele again

[circumsutus]

I think you need to break out the ukelele.

[maskintape]

but I only have a dweeb and a mute for backing vocals
you can't expect a guy to play bohemian rhapsody without the right talent backing him up
it just isn't done

[circumsutus]

send out a mass message

everyone meet @TW
bring your best singing voice

[maskintape]

I see a major problem with this scenario
it'd take like
effort

[ and PEOPLE omg no ]

[circumsutus]

i'd say i'd pay to see it but i have nothing of value

[starsandtights]

Yeah, I think he should go for it.

[circumsutus]

He's right about needing vocal backup. Can you carry a tune?

[starsandtights]

Oh heck. Technically speaking, yes, I can? Or, I can usually, but not right now I can't. Almost too hoarse to speak, much less sing.

[circumsutus]

Oh, right, you were the one with the toxic fire. How's your recovery going?

[starsandtights]

Pretty good, I think. Starting to feel better. Coughing, dizziness, and nausea all much less than they were.

[circumsutus]

Any signs of permanent damage?
