[Flynn looks pale and a little tired when he starts the feed, just your regular image of Norfinbury fatigue really. But he also looks quite content - which might have to do with the genuine excitement over the task at hand.]Hello and good evening. I've been meaning to get in touch with you all for a while now and I come with a request for a little collaboration. Now I'm sure you all remember when communications broke down and people couldn't understand each other. With medication suspended I'd say there's a good chance it might happen again. Maybe...
[There's a needlessly dramatic pause and his hand comes up in an equally needlessly dramatic fist.] ... for
good!
[Alright, now that this is out of his system...]So! I think we should prepare for when that happens. I've talked to several people and with all this new exploration on the way we should make sure our efforts are not lost in translation at some point.
For that, I'd like to collect the most important words and phrases and devise a database of the different languages everybody is speaking. ... Oh, and if you're willing to spend some time I'd love to learn the basics of your language, too, that is, you know, if you're stuck somewhere past lockdown and don't know what to do, just, give me a call...
[He rushes through that last bit and tries to keep his tone neutral but fails horribly, the boyish excitement all over his face. Please teach him your language, he'll be the happiest nerd in Norfinbury.] Alright, that's it.
[...]This isn't like last time where I tried to incite others to rip into people's selves, by the way.
Just in case anyone's wondering.
I think you're all great.
Well, most of you.
Most of the times, of course excluding murder and randomly torturing each other unless it's a city thing because it's totally a city thing and we all know how that works, one minute you're hiking, just going about your post-apocalyptic day and then suddenly you're doing horrible unspeakable things to people you care about...
[Little circle gestures with his hands. It will occur to him eventually that he could just stop talking.] This is really just about the languages and trying to facilitate communication in case we have another network incident and have trouble understanding each other which would make the exchange of new information difficult. ... And I totally just said that and well, then I guess I just said everything I came here to say.
Right.
Uh.
Stay warm.
Don't kill each other.
