[ So he's not exactly a cinematographer. Pretty far from it, actually, so congratulations! You're looking at an unsteady landscape: a great, overgrown clearing with a dilapidated barn a little ways in the distance, surrounded by woods that stretch off into the rolling distance. There's the noise of summer insects and boot-heavy footsteps.

Then the shakiness of the camera stops for a moment, and the image swings around to focus on the man holding it. Kristoff, for a moment, looks about as satisfied as most people will ever see him. He then seems to change his mind about filming himself, wrinkles his nose, and instead focuses the image over his shoulder. Coming idly up the path behind him is Sven the reindeer, perhaps looking a bit hulking and ominous in the fading light.

The rest of the feed for this post consists of alternating takes of Sven and the landscape. You're welcome. Kristoff is sure to make his point, however! ]

So, uh. I was kinda introduced to the concept of 'the grid.' I mean, I had to try and look it up, but-- Yeah.

Anyway, I... I'm not from around here, or around this time, and I never lived in a real house, I guess, before I got here, and... Well. My point is that I don't need the grid, and I don't think anybody else should, either.

So, hypothetically, if I didn't want to give ghost tours any more, and instead decided to teach people how to not die without electricity and pre-packaged meals, is there anybody here who would actually understand the value of that sort of thing? I mean... Would anybody go for that?

Because, seriously, the next time there's zombies or massive disease outbreaks or governmental strife or whatever, getting the heck outta dodge is a viable option if you know how to pull it off.

Just saying.

Well, yeah. Just small game, you know. Rabbits and stuff.

I fish a lot, too. Probably more than I trap.

Then perhaps I can add something new to your arsenal.

That's providing I can find the shot to do it. I don't suppose in all your survival training, you can across anywhere that would outfit a wheellock pistol, or musket?

[malodorous]

Uh. I know there are stores that sell guns and stuff, but I can't tell you anything about them or what they carry.

[mousquetaire]

That's all right, it was a long shot anyway. I'll look around and see what can be found. Then I'll teach you, you have my word.

[malodorous]

Sounds good. Just let me know when you're ready.

[mousquetaire]

I will. Good luck with what you're doing, until then.

[malodorous]

Right. Thanks.

You, too.
