Please tell me no one is actually eating pine trees.
I'd love for any help I can get. This is an all hands on deck situation, I have no idea how many people are actually here. Any experience with cooking, Quentin?
I hope not? But we've been pretty low on supplies for a while? So- maybe?
I can make ramen noodles? And I can put things on to plates? Slice things, maybe. I'm not really that good in a kitchen, but I'd like to help. I'm pretty good at doing the dishes.
Hey, help is good no matter what, it's the USO all over again. It's kind of you to reach out.
Have you been here long? What's the population like? Number of people, anything crazy I should know ahead of time like Patty doesn't like Maria, but hates Maria less than she hates Betty?
That's not really cooking, I just like to keep up to date and I've only just got here, so I have to hit the ground running.
Except for how I don't think any of us are soldiers? Or, there's this one guy who seems to be called soldier? I have no idea what I'm talking about, but yeah. Sure. It can be kind of like that, I guess.
I've been here a few months, so not long but also I'm not new here? I'd say we're about fifty people, all in all, but there could be more. Or less. This is a strange place. Gossip? You should try contacting Eliot on regina about that, because I don't even know how many we are and I know even less about any of that. But he might?
It's really not, no. I'm terrible in a kitchen. I burned water once? I was trying to make tea, but that backfired spectacularly, so now I'm kind of barred from the kitchen? But I can help YOU out, no problem.
The best way to keep up to date here, is really talking to people? But not on these. Don't ever talk about things you'd rather keep private on these. Find people in person, and find someone you can trust.
[ That's an awful lot of text, and honestly, Midge is a little grateful for it. She's never happy when she's out of the loop and she's got a lot of catching up to do here. ]
I'm honestly at a loss for how someone burns water. You're definitely right: we're going to need someone to cut and clean, so let's have you there.
[ Is she thinking of making an assignment list? She absolutely is. Gotta love perfectionists. ]
Thanks for the advice. I've never liked letters over a lunch date at a deli, anyway. Can other people read these? Why shouldn't I trust everyone else?
Really? Because I just poured it in to a pot, put it on the stove and kind of forgot about it? That pot is ruined now. There you go, now you too can set the kitchen on fire, boiling water. But I'm more careful now, so. There's that? Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there.
[The next part is tricky, because there's no need to yank the paranoia up to eleven, but also, nothing in this place is even remotely safe. Quentin bites his lip for a while before he replies to the last part.]
Maybe? I don't know, but someone had their tablet hacked a while back, and there's no way to know for sure if anyone else might be reading everything you write. I mean, we did get these tablets from SOMEWHERE, right? Who's to say they didn't make sure we wouldn't say the wrong things?
Everything you wrote in the first paragraph gave me a heart attack.
I have no idea what half of what you said means, but I think I get the gist. We have a saying that's sort of like that where I'm from: 'loose lips sink ships.' Is that applicable?

It was a very small fire.
It's not not applicable? But. It's more that someone might be spying on us?

Who's spying on us?
I guess you can't answer that here. WHY would anyone want to spy, then?

Not everyone seems to want us to succeed? Because information is power? Because they're dicks? I have no idea. We can talk more when we meet.
