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.

[ It hadn't felt like three weeks. It hadn't even felt like a day. One moment he was in town, listening to people talk about maybe trying to find a way to break out from... wherever they were, and the next, he was standing outside town with a vague feeling that something had happened, but he couldn't remember what.
He shakes his head. He wishes he could remember something, anything, but he doesn't. ] No. I mean, at least, I don't think anyone else has.
I don't even remember getting to the outside of town. I was just... there, you know?

[The words come out in a rather grave tone of voice, mixed with a bit of concern. Concern for Chuck, for himself, for everyone here. The entire place is ominous and disconcerting, but people being taken by the captors and then returned with no memory of it is perhaps the thing that causes the most unsettling feelings.
Expression settling into something unreadable, Samandriel gives a delayed nod. He's silent for a few moments, thinking, but...the thoughts lead nowhere. There's no way of knowing how it happens, and searching for an answer, just as searching for an escape, is likely dangerous.]
But you're unharmed, at least. You were even when you were returned, correct? It's...probably best to focus on and simply be happy with that.

He gives a nod. ] Yeah, I wasn't hurt or anything. So, uh, whatever they did to me couldn't have left any lasting effects, right? I mean, I would have been able to tell by now. [ At least, he's fairly certain of that. He has no broken bones, no bruises, and he's not sick or anything. ]
Not much to be happy about now, though. [ Not with the power out. No power isn't life threatening or anything, humans lived years without electricity, and they would be able to too, if it came to that. But all of their food will spoil if things don't turn on quickly, and it will make life a lot more difficult, that's for sure. ]
