UN: Reeve T., Text, OTA

Good afternoon all, my name is Reeve and I thought it would be prudent of me to share in a bit of good fortune which I have awoken to this morning. I do not know where it came from, but it seems I was the recipient of a box containing some supplies I have noticed are a bit lacking around here.

Which is to say paper.

A lot of paper.

In fact, a full two reams of white paper. That's 1000 pages for anyone who has not spent the majority of their lives in an office environment.

A thousand sheets can go a rather long way, and while I intend to retain a portion of this for my own work (among other things I'm a trained architect and city planner and hope to put this to use for our betterment), I would like to share in this bounty. So the question is whether there is a call for paper for anyone? I will admit I'm woefully short on writing utensils and cannot as easily let those out of my possession, but I'm sure we can improvise a suitable solution. I do not doubt that creation of ink will be possible, and from there the creation of at least quills may be viable.

And there I am, getting off subject.

Basically I have paper to spare and would be happy to see it used. Would anyone be interested in such?

ETA: Ah, it occurs to me that while I have attention, I am happy to share my services with anyone who might require them. Are there things that may need built or designed for building? I could also help with drawing up designs for other devices if you have a knowledge of how they should be shaped/function. I cannot guarantee those as high of quality, but my assistance is yours.

House 48

I might have some black tea. I'll check.

I admit I'm still having trouble finding my way around by number alone. But I have walked the area. If you could provide a general description of the font of the house, or even a major structure it was near, I could no doubt be there in relatively short order.

It's out towards the river and the boathouse. You'll see it just after you cross the bridge.

I know the area you're talking about. Alright. I'll get the pencil sharpened and these papers bundled and come to bring you the papers. Oh, someone asked me about how to put papers together in a booklet. The elf.

I don't know an elf but if you tell them to find me I can help them.
They just need to ask for Kat.

I will do so. Thank you.

Is there anything else I should bring from the inn while I am here? As a courtesy?

If you want a snack I'd bring it. I don't have a lot of food here.

Ah, a good idea. I should probably do that. But is there anything you need for food? I think it's nearly lunch.

If you'd like to bring over any pieces of meat that you can find or some of the lunch prepared by Kate. I have a little kitten here so any small pieces of scraps would be welcome too.

[There is a pause before he receives another text.]

Thank you.

If it is allowed I will bring lunch over for you. And there is no need for thanks, Miss. It is a kindness, and would save you a trip out into the cold.

If it is alright, and they allowe me to bring some soup or the like, I could wait around until you are done and carry the bowl back as well.

Thank you.

Bring lunch, we can figure out the details after you get here.

Of course. I shall see you post haste with the paper.

[ooc: want to move to action or make a log post for these two???]

[ooc: I would be pleased to do so. I am a bit behind on tags at the moment.]

[OOC: I'm a little behind too but let e know if this is okay!]

[Kat's home is exactly where she'd directed him but to make sure he doesn't walk past it, she keeps the front door open. She's been toying with the idea of marking her home somehow but with not way to do that, the idea hasn't gained much traction.

She has water boiling for tea and her notes are laid out over the table. A small feathered kitten is running around the house and Kat can be seen jogging onto the front step to scoop the little kitten into her arms before it can run away.

The fire in the kitchen is lit and the house is pleasantly warm for how colds its been outside.]

[A nice enough walk to be had, to be sure. Soon enough Reeve is standing just at the door to knock lightly to try and catch attention. Stepping into her home without invitation would be rude and an open door was not an invitation.]

Come in.

[Kat calls out as she steps around the corner and into sight of the door. She has a wiggling kitten in her arms that looks determined to free himself and come say hello.] Could you close the door behind you? This little one keeps wanting to get out.

[Well that was an interesting beast to say the very least. There wasn’t much quite like it back home, but given the concern he did shut the door behind him.]

I brought the paper and pencil. For your work.

"Thank you." Kat released the squirming kitten and let her wander about the house now that she couldn't get out. For a kitten who had come into her home injured, it had a startling sense of bravery. "Please come in. I have my notes on the table if you'd like to look at them."

It was a single thin notebook with different plants pressed into the pages and rough sketches of the animals that Kat had run into. She took to writing in margins but it was all decently legible.

"Would you like some tea?"

“I would greatly appreciate that,” Reeve smiles as he moves to where the notebook lay. “As for the tea I would be remiss to decline such a kind offer. If you do not have much I would say that perhaps it would be better to save, though. I am a poor heathen drinker of coffee most days.”

Not that he would decline a warm drink in this weather. He seated himself at the table and placed his bundle for her down beside it. He would start with plants he thought. Animals were ore for people who cared to fight them. Or domesticate. Give him the already domesticated ones please.

"I don't have much but I do have some black tea. It's the closest thing to coffee that I have." Kat disappeared back into the kitchen, taking his reply as a yes. She reappeared with a dark cup of tea for Reeve and a light floral smelling tea for herself. She took a seat next to him, placing his cup in front of him before reaching for the paper he'd brought.

The paper was a normal thickness and something she could absolutely get a needle through.

"Most of the plants are from my garden but the ones towards the end are from down the river. I haven't been able to explore too far because I had to stop once it got too cold."

“One could also point out that as it is getting toward winter there would be little point in seeking out more information now. Plants dying away.”

The tea is accepted almost immediately, and he sips at it without sugar as he slowly flips through pages.

"That's why I stopped." Kat settled in at his side and patiently sipped her tea. She had always been good at waiting and her time within the village had only honed that skill.

"I hope to continue my research in the spring. Until then, I'd like to study whatever animals are around in the winter. It'll be good to know for future food stores. If we track where these animals are." It wasn't information that Kat could use because she didn't know how to hunt but this wasn't just for herself.

"I've heard there are those who hunt. Perhaps they can take time before kills to mark ranges, commit information to memory, and then return to you with it."

Not a task he himself could assist with, but he sipped as his tea as he flipped lightly through pages.

"Are there any plants near the river here that you would categorize as potentially hazardous?"

"I can see. I need to reach out to people anyway." She had told Anne that she would but she hadn't known exactly what to say. Kat didn't spent a lot of time reaching out to the whole network of those trapped on the island.

It made her a little uncomfortable... maybe because she was alone.

"The lightening one is the most dangerous. I've collected others and found poison ivy and a few other lightly poisonous plants. It's easy to spot since the animal life avoid them as well." Which was how Kat had figured out what she could eat from the forest.

Sorry on phone and doing large amounts of formatting not easy. Mind if I don’t bracket after this?

Sure! Let's switch!

Oh you are super kind <3
