In the interest of having it completed some time this century, I'm taking over the project to create a guide document for new arrivals.

[And he's starting it from scratch, no thanks to Chris.]

If you can tear yourselves away from telling ghost stories long enough to reply, I'm interested to know what information you found most helpful when you first arrived, as well as what you would have liked to know sooner rather than later.

a map would be helpful.

[torrefied]

[It would be, yes.]

Are you aware of anyone who can draw one?

[skelebro]

doesn't have to be fancy. anyone with a basic conception of space and depth should be able to slap something together.

[Just not, you know, Sans. Because that sounds like work, and work just ain't his thing.]

[torrefied]

There's no point in creating a map if it isn't easily readable.

[Mello may have many skills, but cartography isn't one of them.]

[skelebro]

do a survey for artist types.
we've got a big enough nerd brigade for there to be one or two of those out there.

[torrefied]

I've actually already got a volunteer. Apparently he painted a map on one of the walls.

[skelebro]

nice.
now all we need is a printing press and a stack of these things by the colosseum to hand out to newbies.

[torrefied]

A digital file that's automatically loaded on the phones would be far more efficient.

[Don't you know? Print is dead.]

[skelebro]

true, except some of the people here don't come from times or places where phones are commonplace.
maybe include a section for that as well.

[torrefied]

Yes, a user's guide for the phones was also suggested. I didn't find the phone especially hard to figure out, so if you have specific suggestions, I'll take them.

[skelebro]

explanations about why this thing beeps and boops and how technology has taken a significant leap in the past however many years?
then again, that might take a while to explain.

[torrefied]

I guess if it's necessary, it will have to be done. I can write an overview, but I'm not signing on to be Hadriel's tech support.

[skelebro]

yeah, you could probably conscript one or twelve of the nerds we have down here.

[torrefied]

Is there anyone specific you're nominating for this position?

[skelebro]

chris.
carlisle.
newt.
hermann.
those are just the names i nabbed off the top of my skull.
there's probably more of that sort.

[torrefied]

I doubt Chris would be on board, but I'll keep the others in mind.

[skelebro]

nice.
best of luck with newbie orientation.

[torrefied]

Effort is what's required, not luck.

[Thanks anyway???]

[skelebro]

best of that, then.

[Sans is anti-effort by default when it comes to his own endeavors, so it's a genuine wish at least.]
