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.

I am planning to soon ask for those who can to make observations of such things as general temperature, depth of the river, amount of precipitation, the position of the stars and course of the moon. Such things will also aid you in predicting the river's flow, but as I have only just begun these measurements, I cannot give you much more information than that. Some odd circumstance has meant that much data that was previously collected is now all but null. As I gather more information, all will be welcome to it.

I would want to start taking regular measurements of the river at the relevant point in a daily manner, to process it. How long of a span?

Oh, and the barn, I would like to know where to go to meet the person who needs it. There will be specifications to acquire there.

Do you know if there is a source of stone? Not cut of course. More like field stone. Nice large rocks.

[He has ideas and requires time to process them.]

[eaglesonofnone]

As I cannot swim, I did not and cannot measure the span myself. I would be willing to assist in the effort, however.

Sayyida Margaery lives in House 4.

I am not familiar with the term field stone. However we did recently open the mine and there will be stone detritus from the activity there if that will assist.

[plate_builder]

Cast off from a mine is typically smaller than would be valuable to my usage, except as a filler material. I may consider that if there is a way to transport it back.

But yes, I will most likely require many details. But much of what I need will be determined after I see the proposed site.

[eaglesonofnone]

I can show you to the nearer location as well as the makeshift footbridge that 7 and I constructed. I can assist more as I understand more of what it is you seek.

[plate_builder]

I need to know places you would want one so I can choose a suitable location. A lot has to be understood to put up a good bridge. I mean, I can’t account for a twenty-year flood but I need to know what I am working with to know what sort of bridges are even feasible.

[eaglesonofnone]

What I can tell you is that the footbridge we have made is not suitable for long-term use. A true bridge, solid enough to traverse with a cart of ore, is needed. I will show you to the river and the path that has been taken thus far. It will be easier to move a path to suit a bridge than move a bridge to suit a path.

[plate_builder]

That would be a good plan. I would rather make a decision myself. There is always concerns about distance. I'll need some measurements as well, of course, but if I have an idea of where I can get that information.

[eaglesonofnone]

Then we will meet soon, when there is a near-quiet moment in the village. I appreciate that you offer your skills so readily, Akhi. They can be well used here.

[plate_builder]

Why would I not offer the skills? I have worked much of my life to develop them, and I know I am not a suitable source of hunting and haven't farmed in a very long time. The best means by which I can help is to design buildings, help build them, and maybe care for animals some.
