[Video, slightly backdated to only one day post-Silent Hill, Public]

[Franky looks pretty messed up. She's got a truly impressive set of black eyes, with muddled greenish-purple bruising spilling down over her cheekbones, and a few shiny spots of freshly healed burns.]

Hey, folks. Doing an experiment of my own, and if it works, I'll see if the rest of maintenance is willing to join in.

I'm calling it blackout days. These -

[She holds up a hand, with three little tokens balanced between her splayed fingers, each about the size of a nickle, baked and glazed clay impressed with a stamp of intertwined C's.]

- are Custodial Catastrophe Contributer Coins. Any time there's a big messy catastrophe, or if a bunch of us are down in comas or something, and we need extra hands, we can declare blackout days. Blackout days are the only times you can earn custodial coins. You show up, you pitch in, you get a coin. Simple.

Any time it's not a blackout day, you can call in the coin in exchange for help with one - one - minor chore of your own. Doing a load of laundry, for example, or a quick cabin trash sweep. The kind of thing it feels weird to ask anybody to do, but that sometimes you really don't want to do yourself, if you're feeling lousy. Specifics negotiable, etc, etc. Not so much meant to be equal value as just a token of appreciation for pitching in, but something real, tangible.

I'm not volunteering extra work onto anybody else, so for now it'll just be me that you can cash them in with. Or you can trade them, sell them, whatever. I know some folks want currency to gamble with. Knock yourselves out.

Questions?

Who's functional? Sound off.

[BACKDATED BEFORE SILENT HILL - Custodial Ice Cream Planning Party Spam]

[Cater, Corvo, Angeal, and Blitzø all get invites to Maggie Garcia's cabin, since it has a nice space and a big table, and everybody gets a bowl of ice cream that wants one. Pyotr managed to more or less invite himself, and Frankie didn't turn him away]

Thanks for coming, everybody. I know you guys are kind of in a weird position, since you weren't the ones taking issue with how things were run, but you are the ones dealing with the consequences. And I know I'm super the new kid on the block, but I am pretty good at schedules and shit - I did a lot of bookkeeping when I was alive.

I do think Thrawn's efficiency plans will make for a little less work overall. Does anyone else want to make schedules and assignments, or any of that stuff? I'm happy to pass on it, or take anybody's preferences into consideration.

Mostly, though, I want to get more hands helping us all out. One idea I had is for a thing called a dunk tank.

[Frankie explains to the non-Earthlings exactly what a dunk tank is, and how it usually works as a charity fundraiser. She wants to guilt as many wardens as possible into volunteering to be eligible for a Dunk Tank Raffle, held monthly or bimonthly. Only reliable custodial inmates get to vote on who, and get more throws than anybody else. Or something like that! She's open to ideas, but it's a starting point.

She'd also mention the blackout days idea, although probably with a lot less urgency, since she doesn't anticipate needing it that quickly!]

OOC: I'm good with either playing out some convos here, and/or chatting and handwaving the gist of the conversations here or on plurk.
