You smell like rotten meat.

[MALIA]
Is this the way you live? Is this what you smell, what you see?

When I suggest to the populace that the strange new sensation of easing into a hunter's skin isn't so much alien as it is a homecoming, they'll lock me up. I've killed before and now, I think, I could do it so neatly.

What structures are here to keep us from succumbing to these natural instincts?

It is entirely possible that I am the one who splurged at lunch AND dinner and ate three pears between the two meals, but they were so wonderful and I couldn't resist. It's wonderful to have an appetite again, and to want to eat, and to not think that all food looks terrible and will probably kill me. So, kitchen staff! I will be returning to you on Sunday!

ETA:

I don't suppose that there is any baby furniture in storage? Bed, changing tables, rocking chairs are all very necessary. I suppose that the changing table isn't, but it would be nice. I still have several months, but there are others who will need all of this much sooner.

Are there baby clothes? Recieving blankets? Little booties and nappies?

Snow White
I think that I am beginning to show. Dr. Gates told me that my little one is now about the size of a lemon! How wonderful to be able to have an idea of the size of one's baby while they're still baking.


Kaidan and Shep
I need to speak with the two of you. It's very important. And I threw a shoe this morning while looking for my other pair, and it's on top of my closet and I can't reach it, so I need one of you, too.


Kitchen Staff
I'm returning, as I said above! And it will be good to be back; as wonderful as working with the children is, I've found that when I married, I truly did put that part of my life behind me. I miss joining you in the kitchen and creating food with you. I feel that we had a wonderful harvest this year -- I really like the word wonderful this evening! -- and I think that we also should celebrate that. I think that for many of us here in Mount Weather from different places and times, we all have a tradition of gathering around a table with family and friends once or twice a week. With that in mind, I would like to propose the idea of Sunday dinner.

Of course, we eat every Sunday, but Sunday dinner is different. We cook and eat foods that are reserved just for that day, or for special days, and they have a little extra cream, or an extra dessert, or just feature a meal that we don't eat often. What say you?

There is a disappointing lack of gold in this cave.

I always seem to arrive at places at the most inconvenient times. Although Mrs. Thomas couldn't ever really claim that I was inconvenient, not when I helped with three sets of twins. She tried, but it was always a lie. I understand that there has been some tragedy in this community recently, and I'm so sorry to hear it. I know my condolences don't mean much, but they're out in the open for the public to see, anyway.

I'm Mrs. Anne Blythe, and I don't suppose that Dr. Gilbert Blythe is here? The doctors in the medical center said he wasn't, but it never hurts to ask, does it? Maybe he arrived in the moments after I came to the room that was assigned to me? He's my husband and we haven't been married very long and I miss him so much already. I'm still getting used to being called Mrs. Blythe, that's how new it is. I was in the general store the other day in Glen St. Mary, and the storekeeper addressed me as Mrs. Blythe and I thought for sure that Gil's mother had followed me in. But, it was me!

Or if you want to tell me that this is a dream and that I'll wake up soon, I would like that, as well. Please someone tell me I'm dreaming?

Is it customary to wear clothing when sunning around here? Some seemed offended today.



[OOC: yes he was sunbathing nude. you're welcome.]

We have some metal in the forge which contains enough impurities to make it unsuitable for any practical use, however it would still be suitable for ornamental purposes. While I cannot give such things priority over my normal work, if anyone wishes to have some sort of jewellery made, I would be more than willing to do so in my spare time.

Hi everyone! Did you miss me?

I know, I know. "Veronica, you disappeared one day, where did you go?" I was on a mission! I went with a group to Camp Jaha to test out some research data I had from home for some new farming techniques. We didn't want to take up growing space at Mt. Weather or set up somewhere that would cost us guards to defend, and Jaha needed some stuff upgraded anyway, so I trucked out there for a while.

So I've got good news! Two good newses, even:
1. We've tested some new farming techniques that should drastically reduce the growing cycles of a lot of our foods. The original research was for the desert and reduced the water requirements, too, but given that water is everywhere around here, we were able to make some adjustments. As far as we can tell, the rapid growth shouldn't affect the nutritional value of the food, so this should go a long way to helping us stockpile before winter comes. I'll come by farming later today with the group of Sky People who worked on the project with me to show you what we did.

2. I had some energy cells from home and snagged some thermal clips from Kaidan before I left, and I managed to rig up a new battery out of materials that are actually native to here. I call them Weather Batteries! (Because "Pod Batteries" sound like they come out of the pods, and it sounds a bit silly.) Anyway, they can be used as ammo for energy weapons, if anyone wants to give me their regular weapons to be converted (I can do that, you know), or we can use them as regular batteries around Mt. Weather. They're self-sustaining, they just need to be turned off when they burn out so they can recharge themselves. I don't know if we're ready to make them the main source of power for our major needs -- like medical equipment, power and lights in common areas -- but I'll be working with Infrastructure to rig up a good backup generator out of this stuff.

They do take some time to make, but once the generator is taken care of (couple weeks, maybe?), I can start making them on a smaller scale and we can use them for power in rooms or recreational areas. They burn bright, too. It's always difficult to get really bright light when you live in an underground bunker and the eye strain just causes serious headaches. Believe me, I know.



MJ, MONA & GWEN:
I'm back! What did I miss?


RADIO OPERATORS:
You're my day job! I'm afraid I might be the least productive on your team if I'm running around all the time, but I'll be useful, I promise.


ETA: ALISON HENDRIX:
Hi there! We haven't met, but I'm MJ and Mona's room mate, and I was wondering if I could crash rehearsal. Just once or twice and just to watch, I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to interrupt anything, but I haven't seen them in a month and MJ sounds really excited about your show.

There isn't a whole lot I wouldn't do for a real cup of tea right now. With, perhaps some buttered toast that isn't made from jobi nuts.

I see that we have some new residents. I wonder if we shouldn't put together a welcoming committee of sorts, to greet our new neighbors with what little gifts we can give, a friendly face, and someone to speak to in those first few days when everything is new and a little frightening.

Is it known what sort of effects that the flour from yesterday's pancakes would have on a person who is expecting? I did have a hallucination yesterday, while I was in the classroom with my students. I thought I was back in Avonlea, teaching in the schoolhouse there. It was a pleasant hallucination, but I still worry.

And, well. How bad is morning sickness supposed to be?

Testing?

This is so stupid. What am I even supposed to say? Should have given me a script, Bell

I'm supposed to be doing a test to see who can actually see this to check and see if the network is up and running. I guess if you can see this, reply back with your name and if you're having any kind of issues? I can pass them along to whoever.
