Hi everybody.

[ Jack's using a rare working console that he found, partly because he wants to test how they're functioning and because he feels this is important for people to see, that things can get back to normal. ]

I know we're all still finding our footing, but I had an idea to help us get on the right track.

Since our things that were in our houses seem to have, uh, wandered away, it'll be a good idea to make a central list of stuff that's missing. We can keep an eye out for each other's items.

Alternatively, if you've already found something and you don't know who it belongs to, you can bring it by the Welcome Center. I'm going to start rebuilding it... I think it's important that we keep having some kind of public representation in Keeliai.

I don't suppose you've seen my turtle-child anywhere. I seem to be missing her.

[There's an obvious edge of sarcasm in his voice that's more playful than hurtful. He already knows that's not going to turn up any time soon.]

All things considered, I don't suppose you need help help in the rebuild, do you? I could probably blow off a little bit of steam with that.

[ Jack smiles in return, but it's faintly pinched. He isn't a hatchling parent, but nearly everyone he knows is, so he knows this is a common feeling. ]

I wish I had, Sokka.

Funny you should mention that, because I actually need nearly everything inside the building rebuilt. Looters or whoever, they really did a number on the place. How are you at building shelves?

[theideaguy]

Bunch of jerks with no respect for private property, really.

But shelves? Sure, I can whip that up. It's not like that's exactly the hardest task. Some planks of wood, some nails, and... well, just an ounce of knowhow.

Shall I drop all of the nothing that I'm doing now and come over?

[wintershepherd]

I have the wood and the nails, so two out of three isn't bad! Right?

Today I'm still trying to clear out some of the trashed stuff, how about tomorrow? Unless you want to help with that part too.

[Sokka can't help but chuckle a little bit at the two-out-of-three part.]

Well you just leave the third to me. [His voice is confident, even though he's hiding that he's going to be guessing a little bit on it. But really, it shouldn't be too hard. It's just a little bit of engineering, and not even that hard of engineering.] We'll get the Welcome Centre up and running in no time.

And tomorrow sounds good. I've got some things to finish up today, but I'll be there tomorrow. I'll even come bright and early if you want me to, and I don't just give that offer to anybody.

[wintershepherd]

That's great. I'll see you then, Sokka.
