002; username: scavenger [so i heard you wanted to build a city]
[the video starts out zoomed in on a figure below, attached to a rope hanging from somewhere above. the figure moves around an area that is, in a word, trashed. there are slabs of stone, some broken but more whole, pieces of lumber that are either shattered or just broken in half, metal beams, and various other odds and ends strewn about. as the as-of-yet anonymous figure moves about, the video slowly zooms out to show the entire area they’ve found.
the area is huge. there are building materials everywhere.
inside what is clearly a part of the ship are sacks of what could be cement, rolls of something that almost looks like insulation, and solar panels. there are various other materials, but these stick out as being the most noteworthy. Rey, the videographer, silent until this moment, speaks up as she pans across the gaping, ruined hull.]
Jackpot.
[AJ is currently hopping from one pile of stones to a larger crate, her supplies and bow slung across her back as Rey captures the entire scene. She startles a small den of flying geckos who, braying alarm, burst up and out of the hold of the ship. Once she regains her balance, AJ puts her hands to her mouth to shout.]
There's another fifty stacks piled up under here! You want to build a city or what?
[the video cuts out, and a few hours later, a text post is added:]
it’s all there
everything you need to build a settlement
i was told this was a colonization ship, and i guess it wasn’t a lie
we grabbed some samples of things that weren’t obvious
some of it just looks like sand, or powder
some just plastic
i don’t know much about building so someone else should take a look at it
some of it can probably be used on the ship, too
[as much as it makes rey uncomfortable to add this next part, this is the second biggest scavenging find she’s ever made, and she needs manpower.]
we definitely need a team to pull it all out
sign ups start now
[ooc; hello, friends! this is the result of rey & aj’s climb-all-over-the-ship scavenging extravaganza. any questions about building materials to be found can be directed to the salvage request thread linked above. this location is open to free access for characters, as per the mods, and material extraction can begin immediately.]

that's a good find.
would like to help with extracting the supplies. have the muscle for it. [She's wanted to get started on this yesterday. As in right the fuck now.]
no subject
this place is easy to find
just need a little rope and some leg power
[deep breath]
your help would be welcome
no subject
JuniorScavenger.]would be more than happy to help.
have enough leg power to spare for this sort of thing.
no subject
good
thanks
it's kind of a trek though
might want to wait a day or so
no subject
how far into the ship did you go?
no subject
we actually climbed up and walked along the top
or i guess, the side
i can't believe nobody has before
there are probably tons of entryways up here
username: Eleanor, voice
I can help.
no subject
that's what i thought too
can you climb?
no subject
Better than most people.
[She cheats.]
no subject
good
it isn't too hard to spot once you're up here
but it's a bit of a hike
might want to bring some food or even wait until tomorrow
unless you don't mind sleeping here
no subject
Any idea how to bring more of it back to the camp? Carrying it could take a while.
no subject
considering how unstable the ship is
i don't think pulleys or lifts wouldn't tip it
no subject
It's more than a mile to camp.
no subject
that presents its own problem
hadn't really thought about it yet
no subject
I will see if I can think of something. I've been forced to do more than that with less before, how hard can this be.
no subject
let me know what you come up with
no subject
While I don't plan on resigning myself to a life on this wretched little rock, I'm not against digging more supplies out of that wreck to make things more tolerable around here. I'll help you. I've got more strength than most.
no subject
but your help would be welcome
some of these things look heavy
no subject
Heavy for you, maybe. Fret not-- I will take care of them.
no subject
okay
well
it's kind of a long walk so be prepared
or even wait until tomorrow
this stuff isn't going anywhere
as you've noted, it's heavy for us so it probably is for anyone else, too
Audio
[Someone's been sitting on a sack of cement and watching all of Rey's hard work going into full effect. She can't help but butt in on this particular respondent.]
Audio; AJ did you just call his ass handsome? I'M ON TO YOU
--Beaten by humans? Pfah! Of course not. I will come show you how it is done!
SHE CALLED IT SHINY, SHE WAS STATING A FACT 8I
We're pretty far up on the side of the ship, though. It took the both of us a half a day to get up here. Think you can handle it?
NUHUH THATS A FREUDIAN SLIP IF I EVER HEARD ONE
Of course I can! I do not have to deal with tools or ropes. My body can adapt to any given situation. Unless you think people will complain about punctures in the hull of an already wrecked ship... [Of course, his tone suggests that he doesn't give a single shit if anyone did.]
YOU'RE a freudian slip!!
[Rank smack talk, this!]
You'd better not go poking holes in any of this shit; it's the good stuff! Go postal on the parts we can tear up and melt down for slag!

Alright, twinkle-toes, come find me when you get here.
[If she doesn't hang up now she probably never will, so he gets cut off without so much as a 'goodbye'.]

i'll let you know details when we have them
