week 1 ( tuesday );

[reidentify]

[So, at some point, if they volunteered beforehand (or, in the case of Lucina and Katara, if Lelouch volunteered them) Lief will have located your character and ask if they're available for a meeting to discuss the food situation. Assuming the answer was a yes, they'll be directed towards the longhouse.

Once everyone is there, he'll begin.]

Thank you, everyone, for volunteering to help. I deeply appreciate it, and I am certain that those who need help will as well.

There are details we need to confirm, though. First, where the food will be kept or how it will be distributed. Second, Lelouch would like to pair everyone off for gathering, unless any of you are unwilling. However, given our situation, he is uncertain as to whether to have rotating groups or not—but he may speak on that himself.

[He pauses.]

Third, if you do not have the skills to gather food but would like to learn, Bellamy and I are willing to teach. [...] And fourth—he and Raven would also like to have a few words with everyone, I believe?

And of course, anyone else who wishes to speak may do so. We are all in this together, after all.

[ooc: Yo, so this is an open mingle, so feel free to top-level/threadjack/etc. as you please—also, even if your character wasn't invited, they're free to crash the party anyway! You're also free to handwave your character being here, etc.]

[Austria's eyeing Prussia with the most irritated face as she bounces around volunteering with such enthusiasm.]

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to learning things, however.

[Not fishing though. And she probably wouldn't be a great hunter either. Maybe berry picking, but she can't walk very far without getting tired. She hasn't actually done any laundry or cleaned much in a few centuries either.]

[reidentify]

I can teach you, if you would like.

[... Oh dear, Austria.]

[ladyofthehouse]

Would you mind? I don't want to put you out. [She knows you probably already have your hands full. With Prussia.]

I suppose it's time I re-acquainted myself with "roughing it." [Imagine what Hungary would say if he saw her being able to thrive entirely on her own. Maybe Germany would even be impressed...

She's been relying on others for so long perhaps it's about time she truly was able to do things for herself.]

[reidentify]

I would not offer I did.

[Though it's true that Prussia is, uh, a handful.]

It may be difficult at first, but I am sure that you will get used to it quickly, especially if you have done this before.

[ladyofthehouse]

That was a while ago but I couldn't have possibly forgotten everything in 700 or so years.

[Although even back then she had Switzerland constantly looking out for her... this whole being a strong independent woman nation thing is a relatively new concept for her.]

It's like riding a bike. Or I would assume, since that's how the saying seems to go at least. I'm not quite up to date on what riding a bike is like, I don't ride myself. [Far too tiresome on her legs.]

In any case. Where would you recommend we start my education?

[reidentify]

I am not familiar with what a "bike" is, I am afraid.

[He pauses, thinking.]

Perhaps gathering plants? It would most likely require the least physical ability.
