Video #1 UN: Waltz

[Unlike some people whose biggest concerns are their inappropriate footwear, Cam is all business.

Speaking to you live from a crumbling room within the colony is a tall, bearded man wearing a suit. Or half of one. He has his sleeves rolled up, Prada jacket slung over an overturned desk. His face isn't unfriendly, but there are well-worn lines speaking to a serious nature.

This man does not wear flip-flops.]


Hello, my name is Cameron Waltz. Like you I am a recent arrival, and have more questions than answers regarding this place, and why we're here. Back home I was a humanitarian interpreter and cultural mediator specializing in foreign aid and disaster relief. Experience I hope will be useful, considering the conditions, as it appears we've found ourselves in something of a disaster.

In my brief exploration of the colony, it appears many of the necessary facilities are damaged and in disarray. Those few blocks that aren't already compromised will be well on their way if the problems regarding utilities and structural decay aren't addressed.

Especially since we appear to be activating potentially hazardous technology left and right. All it takes is one spark to set an electrical fire, or worse.

If we're going to survive here, it's important we work together to increase our chances. There are far too many repairs to complete alone. We need to survive before we can return home.

I don't know how many of you are out there, but if you can read this I would appreciate a response. A rough headcount would be helpful in terms of rationing supplies. People with engineering skills and knowledge relevant to repairing or securing the colony, please name yourself and what you can do.

A directory of skills could be incredibly helpful in terms of creating working teams to get things done.

To everyone who may be out there, you are not alone. If you are hurt, or simply don't know what to do, I and many others will be here to help.

[A man can hope.]

[So this kid starts his video with a bit of an awkward wave. Hey bud how's it goin']

So um-- h-hi, I'm Peter. Uh, I've already been looking into getting some of the tech around here repaired and, y'know, back up to code, I guess. It's totally doable, mostly a matter of tracking down tools and spare parts, prioritizing which things need looked into first.

I picked up like, the very basics in school? But uh, most of what I know is self taught. And I know a lot, just. Y'know. For the record. I know I don't look like much, but this is definitely something that I can handle.

[What a super cool, supportive old dude!! Peter likes him immediately.]

A formal education is definitely a good first step, for sure, but it just wasn't keeping up with me, y'know? After a while you just kinda stop getting anything out of it. Easy A's, though, can't complain about that.

[There's a bit of an awkward pause before Peter continues,]

But um, yeah. Not trying to brag or anything, but I can definitely back it up.
itsnotaonesie: (yo FUCK school)

[The supportive old dude thing is pretty much exactly what Peter needs right now, he's been in kind of a weird mental funk for a couple of months. Well, for like a year. It's been a while.]

Oh, dude, we are so on the same page right now. I'm gonna be setting up shop down in the R&D area, and I figured I could... I dunno, give lessons to anyone interested. I definitely don't want to be the only person here who knows how to keep this place running, y'know? I can get around pretty fast, but I can't be everywhere at once.

I just uh... don't have any experience teaching? So I'm not sure how it'll actually go.
itsnotaonesie: (what do they do exactly)

[personal profile] itsnotaonesie 2019-07-19 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
For sure. I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I can learn from other people, too. Like, I can't cook to save my life. It's kind of pathetic.

I'm not really the best at like, talking in front of people? So if this teacher guy has any pointers for that, it would be pretty awesome. I'll make it work either way, though. Don't really have a choice not to.

Mm, yeah, that sounds about like where my level of culinary expertise is. I can make mac and cheese, that's about where I'm at.

I think we're better off here that we were at the last place I was stuck, though. We can grow our own food, once we get everything back in top shape we'll be set. Back in Hadriel we had to rely on the guys running the place to restock our food supply.

Totally feel you on the coffee, though. I would do just, unspeakable things for a Starbucks right now.
