[Event] [Open Log] Why Did The Tumbleweed Cross The Road? To Meet He Rows

[trpmods]

In a way it’s like a scene out of a Western full of cliches. It happens on a quiet day with the streets more or less empty. A wind rolls in from the south, from the path toward the beach. A large bundle of what looks like twigs and sticks curled up not unlike a tumbleweed rolls along in the wind. An orb that moves quietly as it rolls over the roads in Temba, from the outskirts toward the center.

It moves fast, faster than the winds should have allowed for. Someone catching sight, who might want to follow it, would need to jog to keep up. In fact, following it would only cause the orb to seem like it was rolling away faster. Actually, it is. How strange.

The almost tumbleweed rolls with purpose and ease through the twisting roads and paths of Temba, slowing only briefly once it reaches new paved areas. Again, weird, given it should be able to move easier over something so smooth. Then it’s off again, quicker than ever. Rolling and rolling and racing almost until… until the fountain.

Okay, I know a lot of shit is going on and we're trying to solve that stuff. Good power on that and everything. Also, just an aside, I'm also with Leo here. If anyone needs escorts places, I'm here for it.

Please note I'm not responsible for any nausea experienced through high speed travel.


ANYWAY! Back to the main point of this communication. That new 'upgrade' to the replicators? Been testing it out. There is now a SERIOUS supply of coffee at the diner. I've even replicated a small scale coffee machine to go alongside our French Press. And this month it's replicating flour.

Why am I telling you this other than to offer coffee and bread? Because the Diner could use more staples. But, like, I'm sure there are really good calls for other bulk resources too. Maybe stuff for the forge, or the hospital. Or a lot of really thick fabric to turn into blankets or something. So I was thinking maybe this is a good time for helping each other out.

I don't tend to keep Comms for long enough to want to program stuff, especially not with it being fall and me needing to do a TON of harvesting and preservation work. But maybe someone could whip up an additional small app where people could put in requests for what we could use bulk volumes of so that people could donate bulk replications if they don't have other things they need or want? And you could even program in the specifications for the replication too so that people donating them don't have to brain out how to do it themselves?

Just a thought.


Oh, and one last thing. Glitter Food ship people. You have no Agricultural Expertises right now. And the ships are the only place we can grow and manage the Earth Crops I got on the Spacedock. I'd really appreciate setting up some arrangement where someone could let me on every few days for a few hours to plant and manage the greenhouse there so we've got extra growing space. You know, real tomatoes and a blueberry bush and carrots. I miss carrots. Anyway, hit me up if you're willing to help on that.

Or on the other thing.


Or just with the plant stuff in general. It's a lot of work in the fall, the harvesting and the preserving foods for winter. So, yeah, any hands I can get would be nice. Thanks.
