The Help Box
Who: Elleru's Help Box and you! [OTA]
What: Someone decided the best way to figure out what help people need was to just ask.
Where: Anchor, housing level
When: Thoughout March and into April
Misc: Wasn't sure if this needed to go in the log comm or the network comm, given the format of it, but feel free to hit me up at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
grimmhooke or on Discord if you've got any questions!
A box has appeared outside the barracks.
It looks something like the above, save for that it is literally rough around the edges: the box itself is fairly nice, but the slot in the top looks as though it was clawed out with a jagged knife, the edges having barely been smoothed over. There's a lock on the front, hanging above some writing painted in a childish, curlicue script. It reads as follows:
❀ Need Help? Looking for Something? Fill Out A Card. I Want to Help You. ❀
And above the box is a bulletin board with a number of colorful, paper flowers pinned to the corners. That must be for replies. Get creative with notes, steal the flowers from the board, ask a vague question with no real answer -- have at it Anchorites, as Elleru's Help Box is open for business... or trolling. Or both.

[Why don't people like parties where they can get drunk on tree sap, or high as a kite with a hookah, or pelted by snowballs in a sudden freeze?]

Bear in mind, the robots are following instructions left for them decades or centuries ago. They're putting on the festivals of a bygone generation. They don't (perhaps can't) understand we aren't their old masters & don't celebrate the same things.
Not to say parties don't have their uses, but a communal project would have more lasting effects. Something that benefits everyone in Anchor, even if it's not strictly necessary for our survival. A way for residents to engage with their neighbors & give back to the community.

I will ponder on this communal project. It must be something worthwhile. Until then, perhaps we could reach out to those in isolation and let them know they are welcome.
Do you have any suggestions for someone like that?
