4th Wall Event
Who: Various
What: 4th Wall Event
When: M12 D3-D5 (on Mar 7 - 15)
Where: Around Blackway and Blackstaff
Notes & Warnings: Please attach any warnings necessary to thread subjects. This does count for game canon. All 4th wall threads go here, and information is available on OOC and news. The game's navigation is here.
Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, intersexed, androgynes, robots, energy beings, and life forms of all kinds. I am Jeffers, your servant, host, and resort AI.
Let me extend gratitude to you all on behalf of the entire community for agreeing to come and render service in the wake of our unfortunate incident with spontaneously frictionless surfaces. Your assistance in rebuilding is greatly valued.
Visitors, I encourage you to speak with the other Imports. Imports, I ask you to help our guests enjoy their stay.
Please consult with any terminal or one of my android drone avatars if you have any questions that cannot be answered by the residents. I most sincerely hope you find your time at Blackstaff a pleasant one.
And with Jeffers announcement to the population, the town was opened up to anyone willing to help. Some of the citizens who had tended towards suspicion towards imports for some time (an as-of-yet unidentified one took part in sabotage against the town) have changed their views and are now extremely welcoming, offering whatever they can to in return for the help they're getting from the visiting imports.
While the guests are here, they have free rein of the village, and even visiting the wilderness if they have a permit. First they must be instructed on how to defend themselves against the planet's hostile species. A guide is still recommended, but with the busy schedule one is not absolutely essential.

- For those of you who enjoy “fun” [Jeffers says as if he’s not sure that any of this really qualifies as fun in his book], Mr. Jellicles’ Emporium requires extensive repair. There are broken windows and bottles hither and thither, and do be careful of the broken glass; we wouldn’t want any further injuries. Broken arcade games must be fixed. Furniture repaired, or, if it is beyond hope, taken away. And small, colourful plastic balls are scattered asunder and must be gathered up to be relocated into a “fun cage,” but worse and far more deadly are the skiballs and bowling balls. I must insist no one drop one of those on one’s own or another’s foot
- The local restaurants require new food to be brought in. Because of the quarantine, food shortage is somewhat of a danger, therefore any food will do, but I for one would especially appreciate champagne and truffles. In addition, new dishes must be unpacked, furniture repaired, and cooking areas cleaned. I expect the cooking areas to be able to pass the most rigorous of health inspections once the cleaning is finished. Not that we have a ministry of health and safety here, but it is the principle of the thing.
- With the clinic having been overwhelmed by recent events, they are currently understaffed to handle the full scope of injuries. Assistance treating the wounded and the ill would be a very great help. Do note that only persons with appropriate physician or nursing qualifications will be able to assist patients with direct care. It would not be at all appropriate to have, for example, vehicle mechanics performing surgery. Unless perhaps the patient is a sentient robot car. Then the clinic will make an exception. Many other tasks are available for other volunteers who desire clinic duties, however. In particular, wounded patients may require assistance retrieving personal items, sending messages, or returning home. Furthermore, as always, the clinic would be grateful to receive donations of medicines from your homeworld
- The loss of friction created an extensive mess around town and I so dislike messes. I would like it very much if knocked over displays were righted, broken glass cleared, and disabled vehicles removed from the streets. Let’s have a nice, tidy village, shall we? Furthermore, some residents misplaced pets during the hullaballoo and would very much like them found and returned. (Not to mention the havoc stray beasts are having on the songbird population.) Shelves in various shops must be restocked with new, unbroken merchandise, and many storefronts and signs are in need of general repair.
And with Jeffers announcement to the population, the town was opened up to anyone willing to help. Some of the citizens who had tended towards suspicion towards imports for some time (an as-of-yet unidentified one took part in sabotage against the town) have changed their views and are now extremely welcoming, offering whatever they can to in return for the help they're getting from the visiting imports.

Re: #2
"I am new again. I was once her before. Right now I'm with the temporary clean up crew."
She seemed nice, and he was never partial to conflict. It made him panic, unsure of what to do with himself. "It is a pleasure. I'm Dr. Visscher." He pronounced it as a German would, "Fisher", (although it came from his grandfather's Dutch side), R soflty pronounced in his accent.
Re: #2
"Oh, i-it is nice to meet you, Dr. Vissher." She stumbled a little over trying to duplicate the sounds exactly. "I'm Grainne, I do odd jobs around the resort. Are you stationed at the clinic?"
Re: #2
And it seemed, unfortunately, that some people he had known were long gone.

"I hope that despite the difficulties, the recuperation is going well. I know that for recovery stress free environments can do wonders. This is hardly lacking stress but with the appropriate emotional support one can- I should probably stop before I get ahead of myself." He winced, but also decided to continue what he was doing with his good side towards her so that she wouldn't see the uneven skew of his expression.
It was easy enough, as he was keeping himself busy with tasks.

"One can..?" She asked, not entirely willing to let it go. What was those doctors that deal in emotions called? "I am not sure. I still feel like me most of the time. Are you... um... a psychologist?" The answer finally came from the depths of her memory, not entirely sure if it was something she heard or some random bit of Grail knowledge.

He wrang his hands together.
"Sorry I am prone to talking a lot about things no one is interested in, and I thought for a moment that I was boring you." It was an ongoing fault, the assumption that no one was interested, the embarrassment for having said too much, but also the eagerness to explain things.
no subject
"Oh no... it is interesting. I do not know anything except very broad things about the modern world." Some of those symptoms explain a few things that happened later in life, but it didn't seem terribly pertinent to her now though. "Modern medicine I only know very basic things. It seems to avoid using herbs, else I might have more to say on it."

But then he rubbed the back of his neck, one brow raising as he stared off to the side. "My parents were from the 1960's, and were taken into a time centuries later. So 'modern' is a bit of an unusual concept for me."

"They were good people, and I think it was the best thing that ever could have happened for them."

"Oh." He commented, distracted now, realizing she was the source and now following what she was doing with the water. Unless it was some odd water creature instead of her. That was possible, too.

He felt a little sorry for her.

"Thank you for the help, though. I do appreciate it." And he was sure that the town did, as well.

"It is good to meet you. Maybe some other time you can show me some tricks, if you catch me before I go."
