Hey babes!
I've been thinking a lot about how we have a treasure trove of useful skills at our disposal and we are not using them as well as we could. We should be sharing what we know! I don't mean information this time, but skills.
Like I know how to fight, and I'm also excellent at basket-weaving, pegasus riding, first aid, knitting, baking, and I know too much about Greek mythology. But I can't do math to save my life, I tried to fix an alarm clock once and broke the screwdriver, if I tried to shoot a gun without training there would definitely be instances of friendly fire, and apparently I'm an awful storyteller.
Maybe we could all offer a mini-class in something so then everyone could benefit from these skills? That could be cool! We're only as strong as our weakest link and if we learn from each other, our links will grow stronger.
So MY PROPOSAL is that everyone should come in here and offer something they could teach someone else as well as what they want to learn in turn. Maybe it won't be the same person but there is nothing wrong with meeting new people, don't be babies. It's educational bartering.
I can offer baking, basket-weaving, knitting, and Ancient Greek style fighting, weapons to be determined. I would like to learn how to unclog a sink because that seems like something I should know how to do and how to keep a plant alive for longer than two minutes. And that whole gun thing. That could be handy.

Would anyone like to go dancing? You don't need to know how, I can teach you if you're at all amenable to things from the 1920s on through the 1940s. Ain't no bother, neither, so go on and put that thought right out of your head.
But if dancing ain't your style, I'm planning on putting down a dinner on Sunday. I can't promise I'll make the best insect protein steak roast you've ever had, but it'll probably be pretty damn close. RSVP if you'd like to come so I can get a decent headcount and won't leave nobody hungry.
Hope y'all are faring well after our latest adventure.
I do sincerely appreciate your time,

( maybe it's on account'a his southern hospitality an' all, but he's feelin' a queer sort'a loneliness an' he knows the best way to get outta his own head a spell is to reach out to others. findin' out most'a the places he might've otherwise wanted to see for yourself ain't accessible in this new world surely didn't help his head none. )

Okay so can everyone see this? Being kidnapped twice is super cool (sarcasm). What are you seeing where you are? I'm not sure if we're all looking at the same stuff or what it means. There are definitely some puzzles and the whole 'if you do this on this wall then some other wall opens up' going on. Is that everywhere?
Sorry if I'm being vague, I'm not sure what details are helpful. Also watch out for the animals if there are any around you. Feel free to respond here with info on your areas and read it for that info because people have been here longer and know things that I don't.
Edit: I am in New Rio BTW. So there's where you guys went at Everest and Oslo, and people kidnapped to New Cairo and Rio. Which is just great.
Edit: Okay I am going to put photos of what I'm seeing on here. I am going to add Angela's. If you want me to add yours send it over.[ooc: See in comments several people posting photos from their locations with details about where everyone is. Quentin will put all the photos on here for people to look at. Feel free to have your character add!]
