Video; un: Leonardo
[Leonardo cannot be seen at first, just the side of the northern inn, as he curses quietly in Italian off-screen.] How is this ... mio Dio ... can I be heard? Hello?
[He glances at his wrist and is still not aware that he is on video, putting his mouth close to it as if it is audio only and he thinks this is the only way to be heard. His voice is enthusiastic at least.] Hello I am Leonardo da Vinci, it is a pleasure to be here! [After a pause.] Perhaps not in the strictest sense as we are prisoners or kidnapped, but it could be far worse, we could be in a cell.
What was I saying? Ah! I have been informed that many of you are from future in which there are flying machines and technology that is similar to this strange instrument on my hand, and I wish to know more about such things.
[His face backs up so he can actually be seen, still in his violet scrubs although he has a coat and a hat on even inside.] I would also wish to know if these spaces in the village to the north are free, as I am without a workshop. Or objects. Or materials. But everyone starts somewhere! I should stop, Ezio always knew when to stop me.
Grazie! [A long pause as he tries to shake his hand and the video up and down.] How do I turn it --- [It ends.]

The villages seem to mirror one another the best I can tell. So anything you find in the main village is likely to be up here as well. There's firewood nearby too, though if you're doing a lot of work, let me know. I've been harvesting for the maybe five of us living up this way.
[Bobo knows why he doesn't care about having a community. Not the bigger one. He's always been the outsider, and so have his roommates. It makes sense for them.]
For the bunker. Yeah, I admit I haven't even been there. Not worried about whose name is on that list, and I'm not indebting myself to our kidnappers to get back what they took from me. Though, let's be honest, I'm not as eager as some to leave.
no subject
[Leonardo peers closely.] Why are you not eager?
no subject
If nothing else, there will be wood for the forge. I haven't a damn clue how they work but going to try and work out horseshoes with something I got recently.
[Bobo shrugs, fairly casual about it all things considered. Though he hasn't seen how it happens yet either.]
I'm pretty sure I'll be killed soon. Not to mention this is the first time I've been free of that place without pain in a long time.
no subject
I would be happy to show you how to make horseshoes if you would like instruction. I know how to make many things. The materials is what I fear I will be lacking in days to come for the forge, but I will think of something!
Oh my, that is very tragic. I am glad you are without pain.
no subject
also iron nails in various sizes. Some could work for the shoes. Some I'll have for working on a paddock.
no subject
Do you have a hammer? It will be necessary. Where is the horse the shoe is for? It has to be fitted to them.
no subject
There's all the supplies in the forge. Kind of like how the houses come with cooking supplies and beds. Like a half finished town.
They're kirin, so like horses but not, and I have them in the police station to the upper village. Have you seen any of the creatures here yet?
no subject
No, how interesting. I will come look at them. The shoes need to be fit to them, it would be uncomfortable otherwise.
no subject
I've seen it done, just never done it myself. Their hooves are different looking from horses in a way, but the same density from what I can tell.
no subject
Interesting! Are they docile enough to hold still while we look?
no subject
For the most part, yes. They were raised from foals, and I've worked on handling their hooves since before they were actually mine, so they're pretty good about it.
no subject
Perfect. We will let you handle them so I do not spook them.
