[Seel is standing in what remains of Sorrow's grove. Like others, he's not exactly thrilled with the heat, but he's not unused to it either, having spent years in an inhospitable climate not unlike this one.]

A couple of things. First. I've been working with Elrond on trying to create some sort of irrigation system for the grove here. We obviously can't continue to rely on the gods for assistance. We need to make ourselves as self reliant as possible.

[Personally, Seel would prefer not to rely on anyone.]

Sorrow's death means we have to keep this grove alive. It's an additional source of food we can't afford to lose. To that end, if anyone needs a project, I would appreciate the help. This may not be the most hospitable land but it does offer food and we can make do with it if we use our resources well enough.

[Seel fingered the package of cigarettes he was holding in one hand, he was running low, and had been rationing best he could with the Null situation, and now this.]

Second. I'm running out of cigarettes. I quit once before but with significantly more resources than what we currently have available. If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them.

[At the moment, quitting cold turkey was pretty much his only option. It wasn't like nicotine patches grew on trees here.]

[ He liked Seel, too. And they were very much alike in these respects: they didn't like to be idle, and they had many ideas about what would help the community. ]

Thank you, Seel, for bringing this matter to the community's attention and launching the project!

Yes, let us all meet later. I'll go and collect the shovels and other digging equipment, and anything else I think we could use. And when we meet, I'll take a count of how many people will be working and I'll fabricate some more digging implements, if there aren't enough. [ He chuckles. ] I still have some scrap iron I can melt down for that, but if I run out, I can try using the metal from Null bodes. It would be a great irony, don't you think? -- their bodies turned into shovels with which to save the Orchard they burned.
