alt_jeremyI'm at Settlement Five, finishing up. Had to check over security after a bit of a scare. Just shadows and imagination. No blame; everyone's
Was going to write "on edge" but truth is, everyone's more than a quaffle-throw past the edge.
What I meant to write about is I have a mate who's working with his uncle as a rubbish-hauler. Told him I had an idea for doing a good turn and making a small bit of coin at the same time. Discussed delivering goods to them as needed, under cover of the regular rounds, the goods being food on the cheap for people the Protectorate isn't protecting quite well enough. (His words, those.) Extra food -- scraps from the jam operation and similar places -- at a cheap price would go a fair way towards winning trust. Pansy, this may fit in with some of what you're doing as well, if having rubbish haulers willing to discreetly haul away not-exactly-rubbish proves useful. We could start small, but we'd be setting up more contacts for that additional distribution network we talked about, getting it ready for the day things change.
That day can't come soon enough. I didn't see anything near the worst of it today, but looking in the eyes of the people who did -- Merlin. This has to end.
