WHO: Jo & THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE
WHERE: The Pub & Inn
WHEN: July 27th, Midday through Night
OPEN TO:Everyone was invited personally
WARNINGS: Jo's Better At This Than She Means To Be
STATUS: Open To All; Threads w/ Jo, w/ Others & Threadjacking Welcome




Jo told everyone she saw yesterday to come by the Inn & Pub today.

Anytime after midday, and to pass on the message to anyone and everyone else they saw. That it wasn't a meeting per say so much as something everyone was going to need everyone's help with and something everyone should probably get in on. But without clarifying much else.

She spent the rest of yesterday stealing nearly a half dozen curtains from houses that hadn't been claimed by anyone, and then acquiring enough charcoal to fill two small baskets. It's not paper and pens or pencils but it's going to have to do until someone has a better idea or finds better supplies.

The morning of the 27th, Thorfinn helps her get them tacked to two different walls of the main room of Inn & Pub using her knives to cut holes and then sharpened bones, from earlier meals in the month that she hadn't been aware had been saved even, banged into the wall to make them hold high and sturdy enough.



On one side of the room, three curtains line the wall and it says at the high top MAP & LANDMARKS. In the center most piece there are sketched bits for the buildings they can all recognize, the center most being the fountain, and in the distance the river, certain bits of forest, canyon wall, but there's a lot of white space in every other direction, too.

On the other side of the room, one curtain goes up, marked only at the top with FOR TRADE. For the moment that one is entirely blank, but sooner or later she going to end up writing Fresh Meat, with her name and Thorfinn's next to it. There's a second curtain for that wall folded behind the bar, for when and if it's needed.


For now Jo's sitting on a table, again, feet on a chair, elbows on her knees, hair loose on her shoulders, looking at the maps' ocean of white, waiting to see what else might get filled in by those who show up today. Or at least having a better idea of where they should still be looking that hasn't been covered half a dozen times already by everyone else.

"I know someone who came with the first group." A couple of someones, actually, if he has it figured right. He's just glad there were people nearby when he arrived himself, alone and unaware of where he was.

How many days exactly it has been since then he's not so sure of. He wonders if that even matters.

"I know two... one not know me though." He tried to explain, not sure how to say it. "This not my first place taken to." His english was bad but he was trying to explain it all the same. "I know Jo and Kol from another world." He hadn't told Kol though, he could tell from their meeting Kol didn't know him, Kol wasn't the same Kol who had tried to teach him english in Medietas.

"I don't know Kol. I've just met Jo." So there's something else they have to talk about. "I know someone from before I arrived here, but this is the first place like this I've been to." Other worlds, sure, but they were all connected in some way. This one does not seem to be.

He nodded to that, taking what he could of it. "Jo help, she know much." He gave a firm nod as he said it. Before smiling weakly. "I go now, Good day, Killian." He knew it was getting later than he liked to wait before heading out to hunt. So, he was about to leave to go do just that.

"I'll see you around." He understand the need to be out and doing something. It's good to make these contacts like this, but it's also good to be doing things that actively aid in survival. Such as acquiring food in some way or another. He'll be heading out to go fishing soon himself.

Thorfinn nodded in return, making his way to Jo's table to say something to her in a lower tone, grabbing up his bag before heading on out the door to get back to his daily tasks. If he didn't keep busy he was certain he would become downtrodden again quickly.
