Blackout, blackout!

Who: The residents of Cape Kore
Where: The center of town, near the ruined fountain
When: Day 100
What: Stane gathered some supplies for a community fire. Consider this a party-style post reacting to the lack of power and the loss of the communicators.

After the power goes out, Stane spends a few minutes standing stock still in the room, holding his breath and waiting for it to come back, but he doesn't waste too much time lingering in that kind of hopefulness. People are going to need things; they're going to need fire to cook and boil water, and they're going to need to do something about the food that's going to spoil.

It's so important that he helps them. It's so important that he helps them stay alive. Maybe the dream sharing is getting to him, maybe it's made his nightmares... feel real, but...

They're going to survive this. He's determined.

He gathers some wood that can be used for firewood and kindling, and he leaves them in the center of the town; he has no way of announcing that the things are there, really, but he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts a general Go to the fountain! Maybe someone will hear him.

Ned is one of the people who is feeling slightly than less calm about this development. He was never all that good with change (particularly not sudden change that was out of his control) even before he was brought here. It also doesn't help that, in his experience, change is never for the better in this place.

He has a feeling that the guy who is sitting off to the side, staring up at the sky as if he doesn't have a care in the world, may have some advice to offer about how to keep a level head. Or maybe Ned is just hoping to catch some of his mellowness via osmosis. Either way, he comes over and sits down beside him (but not too close), cross-legged and hunch-shouldered in awkwardness, but doing his best to be friendly.

"You seem surprisingly calm, given the, uh... situation. What's your secret?"
