[Welcome to a lovely shot of Rebecca, who adjusts the camera gently. Something quite amiss in the picture is her usual set of heavy duty earphones, a change she's evidently not used to herself with how she keeps touching her ear. But other notable things in frame include how she's taken scissors to her scrub-top and cut it into a darkish-dyed cropped tank top. She's still working on the rest of the outfit, but individuality despite circumstances is a Thing.]

So, hey. Hope you guys are adjusting. Not sure I am, but that's not the point.

Got a few ideas, actually! One, if you haven't already, go get your slammer welcome pack. It includes rations, which might be new to you. Not the most inspiring hand out nor is it really all that much, but to cure that I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to throw in together. A potato by itself's kinda sad, but if ten or so people toss theirs in we might be able to make some pretty rad potato dish instead. Mashed? Boiled. Whoooa, sky's the limit here. [Purposely overacting that part.]

And if you know any cool ways to cook up dishes with the few things we've got, I'll field recipes too. Plain rice by itself is going to get old real quick, mark my words.

Hey, just checking in. Been taking a bit of a walk actually, who else has done the same?

[This video feed is sent out a little later on than her first with a locale change; switching to her hand on a chain link fence the camera takes in a brief shot of the farm area outside.] Those totally look like chickens way over there. And I don't know what's being grown, but I'm nosy and curious. I was wondering if anyone wanted to go investigate that side of the fence later. I'd hop it now but it seems smarter to at least have someone give me a boost. [Or you know, be around in case those are alien, people-eating chickens instead.]

I'm not going to steal any birds though, you carnivores can do that much yourselves. I'm more interested in their eggs. Aannd I filtered this to you guys because I didn't really wanna inspire people hopping fences to find surprises on the other side, y'know? Figured we should check things out first.

I made an omelet with the eggs and tomatoes, fritters by shredding the carrot, parsnip and potato I got, and oatmeal which I sweetened with the chocolate bar.

For lunch and dinner I used the cabbage, rice and beans to make soup. But I was thinking if I could extract the sugar from a beet and ground out the oats, I could possibly make an oatmeal carrot bread. It wouldn't be terribly sweet, but it would be something.

	[Just... give her a second here to compute all that.] Damn, Lacus. You've got skills. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've studied cooking quite a bit since I arrived here, since I never got to do it back home. It's amazing what simple ingredients can create. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aw, man. We're lucky to have you on board then. Maybe we'll have some halfway decent meals to look forward to. You settling in alright here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course I'll do my best. But it would be ideal if we could have a bit more to work with. I'm as well as such a drastic change will allow. It's all very jarring, but nothing that can't be managed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-30 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, there's been a lot of stuff taken away but then there's a few new things. Haven't seen a live animal in a while, for instance. [She was poking around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-05-30 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, my haro is missing as well. I imagine our pets were sent elsewhere, or perhaps put in stasis. [She refuses to believe that the prison didn't save the very pets that it takes such meticulous care of.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-30 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	... I hope so. [Literal fishbowl would not be cool.] Haven't noted any other differences. Except well, my wristband's gone. [No biggie, all things considered.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-04 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Mine as well. [They won't discuss who it was with, shall they?] I haven't heard a thing about rules, and that was so prevalent in the other dome. I wonder if perhaps this place was haphazardly prepared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-04 02:52 am UTC (link)
	[Rebecca'd never guess close; she'd never think Lacus would stoop down to a guy that low. So she doesn't ask, assuming smarter choices. (She hates Tyki, okay.)] Mm, makes you wonder. No rules, no punishments? Not that they ever seemed to be that amazing in the other dome but at least there was a little structure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Neither one seems to be particularly well-suited to humane conditions. [Sure that other place has bars, but she's not a fan of the other madness.] And the Wardens since Sentience got promoted seem unwilling to even engage in conversation regarding changes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-11 01:38 am UTC (link)
	... Guess they don't want to be promoted, huh. [She wonders if using that train of thought against them is worth anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-12 12:51 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus is wondering just that very thing.] No doubt they would avoid the subject, but you bring up an interesting point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-12 06:46 am UTC (link)
	If he really was promoted. [You never, ever know.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-12 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	True. He could easily have been dismantled and put in cold storage or worse for becoming too sympathetic to our situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-13 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Or doing that whole coup deal. [Did he endanger himself with that?] ... It's hard knowing who's really pulling the strings around here, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-14 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. Perhaps we need a new methodology, as speaking to the Wardens yields nothing of significance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-15 05:25 am UTC (link)
	Got any ideas? I'm not exactly eloquent myself with this kinda thing. [She can help build the project but other people tend to do the presentation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-16 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	A few, but they'll need a bit more thought. Once we have our bearings a little better, maybe. [Rushing things is no doubt going to get them into trouble.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-16 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good. Sitting down to think might be a good thing, it's kinda hard to unwind in... here. [New place, lots of energy to spend and not a lot of ways to do it.] I think I've gotta step down from overdrive still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-06-16 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, it is. There's not much to distract us, which could prove difficult sooner or later. Which is why I hope your dinner is a success. At least everyone could remember that we still need to work together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-16 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, I hope it turns out. [She smiles.] Thanks again for offering to help, guess I'll be seeing you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
