Hi everyone. I haven't met that many of you since I've been mostly busy with the aid station, but I'm Lance.
I've done this whole 'waking up in another world' thing a few times now and in every one, there's been an issue of information getting lost. The more scattered our knowledge and experience is, the more difficult things are for everyone involved, and that includes the Adamant survivors who are kind of along for the ride in terms of whatever weirdness is surrounding us being here. So the more we know, the better for all of us.
It'd be helpful if we had access to the crew's information, but since we don't our best option is to collaborate and share what we do know with each other. Being as aware as we can of the situation will help us coordinate any future plans, and if we happen to find out something that the crew doesn't know themselves, record-keeping will help them too since they can access this network.
So far, I'm aware of public discussions about sharing things learned in conversations with the Thessyx, doing a headcount, and mapping the Adamant. We should probably also compile what we know about the animals and plants we've dealt with, things learned during scouting or exploration trips, and anything else we can think of that might be helpful.
However, I know from experience that keeping track of all this information can be kind of a big job, so if anyone is interested in handling organizing a portion of it, please feel free to say so. We'll just want to be sure that all the records are public and easily found by anyone looking for them.

Slowly. ]
I was keeping track of little things, but nothing overarching unless you've got something in mind?
no subject
[Like, you know, climbing cliffs on alien planets or whatever.]
no subject
do you want an honest answer or something that will falsely reassure you
no subject
no subject
by our standards
[ Which are, to be perfectly frank, a little all over the place with their collective experiences. ]
Haven't blown anything up yet but the day is young. Ian said you got your Hadriel powers.
no subject
Yeah, I realized it when we were trying to rescue the scientists that had the run-in with the rats. What about you?
no subject
After he told me that, I asked him to throw a bunch of shit at me to see if I could deflect it with the shield Taako taught me to cast.
Looks like we're both wizards
no subject
I didn't know we both had that shield, by the way. It could be really useful here, even more so than usual.
no subject
You too?? Yeah it was one of the ones he said I needed to learn "for my own safety," but then he also taught me how to fire magic missiles out of my hands, so take that as you will
no subject
[And his actual powers were... Well, they weren't terrible, but if he had to choose he's definitely glad to have his magic back. He also wonders if this means the piece of the god is gone, and wouldn't that be a bonus?]
I'm honestly amazed that safety of any sort was ever a part of Taako's thought process.

In terms of magic? Might be better to talk about it in person.
[Aka he doesn't mind it being publicly known that he can do some things and has shown off a few powers already, but he does prefer to keep others more quiet. He doesn't mind telling Nate at all--and wants to hear Nate's answer to the same question--but would rather not get too into this discussion on the network.]
no subject
Either way, good call. ]
Yeah, sure. You got time?
no subject
[Even if he were busy--which he isn't at the moment--he could make time.]
It's not raining today, at least not yet, so we could meet up just outside base camp?
