Residents of the Tree, may I have your attention for a moment? [A pause and a smile in greeting.] My name is Orcelito. I introduced myself at the assembly a few days ago.

As some of you already know, I've been crafting writing materials from the natural resources of the forest. I believe we'll need a reliable writing system if we are to organize our efforts to solve the mystery of this place. I’ve made excellent progress so far in creating brushes, quills, and dyes. Now I’m requesting your help to complete the project.

First, I need something that will darken and thicken ink. I’d like to use charcoal if possible. We’ll also need inkwells. If you can provide these or have any ideas, let me know.

Second, I have collected the materials necessary to make paper, but physical strength will be needed to grind them into a workable pulp. If you would like to volunteer, please contact or meet me in person.

If we combine our efforts and knowledge, I know we can create a steady supply of paper and ink for all those here. [A courteous nod towards the screen.] Thank you.

[The message flickers out. But he will have the amber close at hand as he lurks around the roots of the Tree. (Those previously helping in the project as well as those who want to join in are welcome!)]
