[Saber's face immediately appears on the amber surface and, from behind her, there are glimpses of Chime's recently opened shop.]

Good morning. To those who were not aware, the spirit known as Chime has just opened her shop and brought wares that are not available to us in the tree. [She is inwardly pleased to know that means this creature too can leave the tree somehow, but she will try to communicate with her later.] However, these items are not free and we cannot afford them alone. Their stock seems to be very limited as well. The answer is obvious, many of us surely have concluded that the solution is reuniting with close allies to purchase the desired ware with them, but I will suggest something else.

[She has been speaking about this matter with some people already, but she has had no time to propose an assembly outdoors to discuss the organization overall they could have to improve their lives and call a vote. She pauses to make her proposal.]

There are basic items such as food or the string of yarn, among others, that are of a general interest. Why do not we, the potential purchasers, donate them in benefit of all of us? We should assign a space as a storeroom to keep all what belongs the community and be sure that they are given a fair use.

[If this is accepted, she will bring up the delegated tasks for those who are specialized in different fields to optimize their lifestyles. Because raw ingredients could be better utilized in hands of good cooks than inexpert ones.]

If you do not agree, it is fine. I only wanted to address that, for the time being, we are expected to live together and a cohesive group stands stronger than one that lives with cordial divisions.

It does appear like springtime has arrived. If it has a duration of the seasons I am acquainted with, it would take a year for the winter to come again.

A year doesn't sound so bad. We'd have enough time to prepare for it.

[She makes a face.]

I mean, if we're still around in a year. I sure hope we aren't.

I would like to believe we would no longer be trapped in a year, but if we do not take precautions and store supplies before winter, it might be dangerous.

I agree. Winter's hard enough without being unprepared for it.

Besides, if we end up leaving food and supplies behind when we get sent back, the animals around here could always use them.

That is true, I suppose the effort will not be wasted in the end.

It would be a lot easier to prepare for winter if we could get through the barrier and search for food. [She shakes her head.] But I guess we'll just have to do with what we can find in this area for now, and in Chime's shop.

[There's a bit of a pause now that she's reminded herself of the shop.]

Speaking of that, I think I'm gonna go take another look at the items she has there.

Yes, our resources are limited. I suppose we could, but will it remain always open? Her mounts seem to be available at all times.

Let me know if you find something of interest.
