Hi, everyone!

[ Right now, he's in the kitchen of his cabin. Behind him, there's a whole lot of boxes beneath the kitchen counters, and another whole lot of jars and various containers for food on the counter. More than is reasonable for him to eat, and it's a logical assumption that the boxes contain the same things. ]

We've got some new arrivals, so let me introduce myself. I'm Rhys Strongfork. I'm getting ready to move out from this cabin because it's way too big for me. We used to be five in here. Because we used to be five, I also have a bunch of food left over. Enough for four people.

So, let me know if you want some of that. It's all stuff that lasts for ages if we get snowed in again or the Technicians decide to stop stocking up Foodland.

If you have any questions about this place, I've been here from the start, so feel free to ask anything. And since there's some new people, if anyone knows stuff about gardening or cars or anything else you think might be useful, there's probably some stuff you could do around here.

All right, err. Rhys, out.

[ He makes a somewhat awkward-looking salute, then cuts the feed. ]

Great. Preferably around sunset or night time would be killer.

[He'd shoot Rhys some finger guns, but alas, voice and he wouldn't show up on the feed anyway.]

[theprezident]

[ What a sad time, he still loves finger guns, even if fuck Jack and Hyperion.

It's a bit of an odd request, but he opts not to ask. ]

Sunset works for me. How about we meet outside Foodland?

[400years]

[Rhys. Please. Ask questions. I beg.]

Sounds like a date.

[theprezident]

[ LOOK. Interdimensional travel or whatever this is messes with his perception. Someone who prefers being out at night is not the weirdest kind of person he's encountered. ]

See you later, then!

[ He salutes, and hangs up.

And, as promised, he'll be at Foodland around sunset, sipping away at a thermos of coffee. ]

[400years]

[Fair enough, we'll let it slide this time.

Jerry shows up not long after Rhys, walking up with his hands in his jacket pockets and giving a little shiver.]

Chilly.

[Not that the cold actually bothers, him, but he can still feel it.]

Looks like you came prepared though. So, shall we go shopping?

[He smiles in a way one could call charming, but it's all just for show.]

[theprezident]

[ He tips the thermos a little. Always prepared with coffee. No, he's not addicted. Definitely not. ]

Wanna see what they have in here before we go look at the trucks?

[ He'd just suggested to meet at Foodland because he figured Jerry knew exactly where that was already. ]

[400years]

[That sounds like denial, sir.]

Let's go have a peek. I'm good with my hands, but can't fix a truck without tools.

[Jerry heads on in, expecting Rhys to follow. Pearomg around he tries to get an idea where such things would even be in here.]

So if I can get them up and running what're you planning to do with em?

[He's curious honestly. This place wasn't big enough that a working vehicle was that big of a positive.]

[theprezident]

[ Listen, the workaholic life requires caffeine.

He follows along, and throws a quick look around to orient himself before he starts off in a direction. He has an idea where tools might be. ]

I thought if we ever needed to transport a lot of stuff for some reason, they'd be handy.

[400years]

[No judgement. We all have our vices.]

So not going to Mad Max things? Heh, guess that makes sense.

[Okay so he was wrong, but it's okay to admit that. Passing a handful of aisles he'll stop and turn down one, looks like this may be a winner.]

Hopefully they're not banning to dump all that snow on us again. Truck won't work that well through that amount of snow.

[Strolling down the aisle he pokes and picks at things, before pausing to snap open what looks like a small tool kit.]

Think we might have a winner. Not everything I'll need, but it's a start.

[theprezident]

[ As soon as Jerry turns down an aisle, Rhys lets him take point and just follows along. He has no idea what most of these tools do, even if he might have seen them before. After all, they don't build things like they apparently did several centuries ago. Things might still need repairing sometimes, but ...

Well, that's not what he does. ]

So far this place seems to have seasons, so I think we don't have to worry about snow for a while soon.
