Hey people, Foggy here. I got a couple of those boxes that seem to happen to people and while it's addressed to me, I get the feeling that it's meant for the collective. I've got a bunch of woodworking tools here, including chisels, files, a saw and a hand drill with drill bits.

I'm taking this a hint that they approved of my amateur forays into carpentry and want that to continue, but I want to make sure everyone knows they're welcome to use them. For now, I'm keeping everything at the South Inn, but maybe we can set up one of the houses, or the mill as a workshop at some point.

Even had an idea for making paper from the sawdust and shavings. That's probably going to need experimentation though.

South Village Inn

True to his word, Foggy has set up in the large front room. He's moved a table to a far corner and he's set out the tools, checking them over to see if they're all fine. He does know all these tools, he did high school wood working, but it's been a while.

A long while.

But the main reason for sitting here is so that it's apparent he is here, and the tools are here, and they can work something out for making useful things and teaching people to make useful things.

Luckily for Foggy, Joshua is staying off the device after trying to read and type and ending up on some weird voice recording thing that broadcast him to a sweet lady who at least was kind to him.

In fact, he hadn't see the post, and was just down in the southern village looking for supplies for the farmstead that they were working to make a reality further north. Planning to pick up some things from the butcher shop that he's offered to carry north, he takes a stop by the inn. Mostly for the food, and because he's not really gotten out around the village as his bunkmates do.

He's glad though to be back in his clothes, the ones he feels comfortable in. Even if they apparently mark him as a man "out of time" as he's been told with the linen shirt and vest, jeans and boots with a hat low on his brow.

There's a few people around, but then there's someone at a table with a few things that he's familiar with.

Altering his path, he comes over to where the man is.

"Vasquez hadn't mentioned we had a carpenter around here. Unless, of course, you're the mortician in which case I'm not being measured for a box. Thanks but no thanks."

Foggy,

When you have a moment, I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk about what happened on New Year's Eve?

Respectfully yours,

Anne

Think you can make a Qunari sized bed? Mine is a little short.

Inn!

Alistair, of all places, had been upstairs. For all he'd been generally fine with the clothes he'd been sent, they felt awfully thin and that had led to a dive into what clothes he could find there in the Inn.

And to say that their number, when it came to a guy his size, was thin on the ground... It was an understatement.

Still, he was wearing a pair of jeans when he came down, as well as a T-shirt that was a size or so too small for him and an overshirt he was still trying to button past having his hands full of some gloves and a hat and a scarf and a jacket he didn't need when he was indoors. At least he was warmer now, he thought, even raising a hand to greet Foggy when he saw him--

For all that was when he also saw--

"Woodworking tools? Ooh, handy. We're going to need those."

Matt's making it to the inn quicker and quicker each day, largely thanks to Foggy's help. He's stopped by to grab some lunch, but he can hear the commotion and he comes up to Foggy's temporary new workspace, reaching out with one hand to stop himself from walking into the corner of the table.

Obviously he never spent time on social media at home; it's a very visual platform with photos and messages and the like, and he doesn't spend much time on the network now either, so he didn't realise what was going on.
