[align=center][div style="width: 430px; text-align: justify; font-family: calibri; font-size: 8pt; color: black; line-height: 22px;"]☁  and so, hayley was met with more silence. no questions, no comments, just watchful gazes, demanding to know what was in the box. so, after a minute, she shifted her gaze to jackson, nodding her head towards the door of the cafeteria. he stood and, in silence, crossed the room and slipped out the door, disappearing down the hallway. hooking her ankle around a chair, she pulled it closer and stood on top of it, glancing around.

❝we live on a big mountain, in case none of you have noticed,❞ she spoke, arms crossing in front of her, lips pressing into a frown, ❝a big mountain means that communicating isn't easy. we don't live in the age of telephones anymore, they were lost to us when the cell phone towers lost power. but that doesn't mean we have no options besides foot messengers.❞ opening the box just a bit, from within she removed a walkie-talkie. a back, rectangular thing, weighing perhaps a third of a pound in her hand, the face of it had various controls across it. lifting it a foot or so from her face, she twisted the volume knob up, and pressed a button, a green light emitting from it. ❝jackson, do you hear me?❞ she inquired, holding another down as she spoke into it.

a moment passed, and then: ❝you bet i can.❞

she smiled a little bit and held it up for everyone to see as she continued. ❝we're not exactly sure how far they reach, but they don't reach very far down the mountain, just over our borders, a few miles,❞ she explained, crossing her arms in front of her, ❝they don't use any power besides at their base units, so jack's installed some smaller solar panels on the roof so they can charge. they won't solve every problem, but they can help a lot. these aren't for chatting, so try to keep the channels open for important things. medical emergencies, people at the border, things like that.

❝so, anyone who wants one is free to come and get one. anyone who's missed this meeting or joins afterwards can get theirs at the next meeting, it's the only time i'll be handing them out. otherwise, meeting concluded, so come get 'em.❞ she said, and opened the box better to begin handing them to those who come up.


so, WALKIE TALKIES are now a thing! i'm sending a small object item and a small solar panel to everyone who's posted at this meeting for walkie talkie use only; if you don't want it, please send it back instead of using it for something else. if you haven't already posted in the meeting, you have to wait for next weeks. there is a designated channel to speak with only hayley, so if she hasn't shown up in a joining thread yet, feel free to have your character contact her over the channel ("hayley, we've got someone on the border") and @ her account. otherwise, feel free to have them announce someone on the border over one of the open channels, to give other characters an "excuse" to be showing up!
