[this is not nill’s bag of chips. she hasn’t addressed the network in... six months? right, not since heine left. so this is a much better thing to talk about than losing her best friend and also the only other person from her world. this is loads better. just asking people for stuff.]

@nill.klein
We need some new supplies for the new arrivals. [good, solid start. she’s got this.] Any clothes or toiletries you can spare. Some of the things we have are getting run down, and we could use a better variety of sizes for clothing.

And any cloth that can be turned into sheets, too. If anyone knows how to sew, that would also be helpful. I know a little about sewing, but I’m not very good at it. Any sheets I make will probably be a little crooked.

[okay, the hard part is done.

Ren is here for support, so when Nill finishes her thoughts, he steps in to wrap it up.]

@ren.amamiya
It's rough showing up the way we do, so Nill and I thought we could make things better, rather than just limiting it to the basics. She did a good job outlining what we need, but we're willing to take suggestions if anyone has them. Ah--we also have another question.

@nill.klein
What are some things you wish you’d had when you arrived? Or what did you wish was in the safehouse? I don’t think we can do anything extravagant, but we can try to make it more welcoming when everything is up and running again.

Don't worry. I've got the unruly customer now.

[variate]

Thanks, but I do see his point.

[vns]

Doesn't matter. He's not the one who's had to deal with trying to get Displaced out of jail when they got arrested. Or the fact that I know the arresting officer on those cases. He's saying because he got lucky, that everyone will. It's not that you'll cause trouble, it's the harm that could come if someone caused trouble for you. Simple enough.

[variate]

Wait, what do you mean?
You've gotten people out of jail before?

[vns]

No, that's the problem. I haven't. But I got contacted once after the second arrest to pick up the guy who got free.

[variate]

Contacted by who?

[vns]

I believe it's whoever "PM" happens to be.

And whoever that is knows who I am. Who I really am.

[variate]

If they wanted to really mess with you, they probably would have already.
That's still creepy.

[vns]

I'm aware. Doesn't mean I want the UN or their buddies at Riverstone getting their hands on it via whoever that is.

That's the creepy part. But I don't get a say in whatever BS you all get up to.

[variate]

You just get the consequences.
I know.

[vns]

Sometimes I get lucky.

Sometimes I get tortured in a simulation.

[variate]

[ that hits a very personal notes.

... ]

Sorry.
I know that's not something that's easy to make right for someone.

[vns]

It happened. Just don't be surprised when people aren't made of tougher stuff because they don't come from worlds where people kill Hitler and god and whoever else.

[righteously]

and the ghost of John Wayne Gacy

[vns]

You killed a ghost?

[righteously]

Lady
I've killed so many ghosts I straight up couldn't count 'em all

[vns]

Skip the step where you explain that ghosts are real. I expect it comes with this question.

Either way, I don't think they are here.

How do you kill ghosts?

[righteously]

Couple of different ways
Salt and iron will hold them off, but to get rid of them 9 times out of 10 you gotta burn their bones, or sometimes a personal object they're attached to

[vns]

So you salted and burned John Wayne Gacy's bones?

[ who she definitely had to look up. ]

[righteously]

Ahh, not exactly. He was one of those rare exceptions where the spirit's tied to an object instead of the body. We burned his cigar box.

[vns]

Sounds like it takes a lot of trial and error.

[righteously]

Can be 'til you get the hang of it

[variate]

Yeah, I know.
The stuff I did in my world no one else in my world did, either.
Not everyone has the same experiences, especially here.

[vns]

But it sure sets you up to think so.

[variate]

Some are louder about it, yeah.
