Hotdog's Inaugural Address (un:hotdog)

[oorah]

So I guess I'm the fucking mayor of this shithole now. Pretty funny for a guy who never voted in his life. I don't know whether to thank the assholes who voted for me or punch you all, but I always was better at punching than saying thank you so you can guess where I'm leaning.

I'm taking this to mean the Natives are washing their hands of us. They don't want to be responsible for what happens next, but they still want to reap the benefits if we manage to make progress with the Sound Eaters. I get why they're scared, but where I come from death is always permanent and patriots lose their lives every day so the people back home can be free. Even if we come back, that doesn't make our sacrifice mean less.

Alright, enough of that bullshit, I'm getting to a point. All of us are going to pool our resources and Soundproof the Communal Houses. I want as many done as possible before the new people get here. We're constructing a Prison too which needs to be fully soundproofed and tough enough to keep shitbags inside. If there's anyone or anything you're worried about coming here from your world, you can let us know HERE. Mike is putting together a book so we'll all be ready. If you want to help, drop off materials at the Clinic, which is always looking for volunteers. Stay tuned for us rehabbing the Hospital too. We need anyone who knows any fucking thing about medicine and repairing androids or whatever that shit is.

No one does anything alone, there need to be witnesses to everything that happens in this crater. If you go out to the Sound Eaters: Bring your device and record. We don't know if the memory loss from the Room is permanent, but it's better not to risk being wrong. We need all the information we can get on those things. I'm doing a trip when the new arrivals get here out to Monster Island. If you want in, let me know.

That's all for now. Hotdog, over and out. [ threadjack to ur hearts content ]

[ frank's used to it - that's how he ended up with hot dog as a name instead of the shitty joke it was always meant to be. ]

fuck if i know
you have any projects going on, rei?

[lilithsoul]

[Rei looked at that for a moment and frowned. It was a small, slightly frustrated facial expression that melted away quickly afterwards. Yes, this needed clarification.]

I am currently tasked with knitting and soundproofing, and assisting Tony Stark on occasion. But I am not truly used to deciding my projects for myself. I am more accustomed to orders.

[Hopefully that made sense.]

[oorah]

[ so it really is tony stark. iron man, right? whatever the fuck that can wait. ]

i was a soldier, too. i get it. if you want in on this prison thing we could use all the help we can get.

[lilithsoul]

Because of the rules related to your current prisoner, I cannot assist your prison. I am a legal minor. I can help in soundproofing it, however.

[Oh the wonderful world of child soldiers saving the world in giant robots...]

[oorah]

[ oh my god he's starting to feel like jess. WHY IS EVERYONE KIDS ]

that's good enough. thank you.

[lilithsoul]

[Blah blah blah, synch rates for 15 year olds didn't work, blah blah blah. Because Gendo's an asshole, but she ignored that aspect of him. She had a job to do.]

Soundproofing, as a project, will take a lot of time. I suspect that will occupy a great deal of my work. How thorough can we be?

[oorah]

a lot of time and manpower that's why we're getting a jump on it.
we have to be as thorough as possible. there's no telling what's coming through that door next.

[lilithsoul]

They appear to be hunting us. They will come here in force eventually, so the protection is sensible.

Are there bomb shelters?

[oorah]

[ finally someone with suggestions he can get behind! ]

not that i know of, though there might be something buried underground.
i'll ask constance. in the mean time we can start gathering materials for something like that.

[lilithsoul]

I believe Mr Stark is looking for volunteers to find the bunker the video was taped in. If it is close, it may be worth finding.

[oorah]

i'll help any way i can

[lilithsoul]

As will I. Is there anything you need to know before sending orders my way?

[oorah]

no i'll be in touch soon, rei.
thanks again.

[She wasn't the sort to say you're welcome, mostly because she was awful at socialization. She'd found that she needed to speak more through this device than usually did, but old habits died hard. Letting the feed end, she figured that she would hear from him or another soon enough.]
