outpost tl;dr
[Rin clears her throat softly before dictating into the journal.]
Ah, hello. For those of you who don't know me, my name's Asano Rin, and I have a project proposal that I've been considering for a while now. In light of how Paradisa seems to be expanding and changing, and behaving in ways - like at last Christmas - that we haven't seen previously, now seems like the appropriate time to actually bring some of this stuff up for the castle at large to maybe discuss a little. If you guys want.
I'm wondering if we aren't to the point now where we would find it useful, as a whole, to have some kind of outpost in the dead zone, at the very edge of the castle's power. I can see this being useful for a number of reasons, not in the least because it would allow us to monitor the castle potentially from the outside during world changes, like the recent one we experienced going to Los Angeles - this place is the point of flux, which seems like it would be a good place to start some kind of study. More than that, it could also be a jumping-off point for further expeditions into the dead zone, and a place for people who were tired of the castle to retreat for a while. I know that I sometimes need to get out of here. And possibly it could serve as a place to meet and treat peacefully with any natives to Paradisa that we met later.
In addition to all that, um. In the light of events like what took place last Christmas, it might sometimes become necessary to flee the castle entirely, and it might be easier if there was someplace to actually go. I'm not picturing a project large enough to comfortably house the population entirely, at least not right now, but we could store stuff there - like tents and rations and things - that would make life easier if a lot of people needed to move into the dead zone for a while.
Right now, I'm sort of thinking that if we did this, they should be as independent from the castle as possible. Like, say, maybe we could sink a well on the side of the dead zone, and plant an orchard, always have food stored there and stuff. There could be another outpost on the powered side so people could go over and do that kind of work if necessary too, like maybe... um... bringing up and heating water. I kind of like bathing daily, you know? And if we could work out some kind of easy transport from the castle to out there - people could take shifts of two weeks, maybe.
It'd be a lot of work, of course. But I think we have a lot of bored, skilled people here, so maybe that would be something to just... for them to really do. I mean there'd be drawing up blueprints, all kinds of tasks to be done, and if it happened I think it'd be good if we set up someplace nice, you know? Someplace people really wanted to go, not a place that was just a drag or a complete chore.
So... well. [awkward pause.] That's what I was thinking, at least. That it could be a good idea, maybe.
