Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 06:45:39 -0700 (PDT) Subj: [Charles] Turn 79 Upon the breakfast talk of 'seances' and spirits, Charles looks around and asks, 'Where is Freud?' -- "Perhaps our dreams are again, leading us?? But perhaps we should turn to Prayer, and follow, our guidance from within." Later in the evening, following the discussion of the waterwheel, Charles is visible excited at the thought of learning and progress of civilization. Charles began speaking in benjamin. "Benjamin, If you would and can spare the time, I'd like you to accompany Shaw to Ford's 'New Detroit'. Together you can present a united front and a plan to help unite all the resources here. Though I consider a group of guards for defense, necessary, I think this is no time for war mongering or hording of resources. You and I both know that small groups fester -- we need to enlarge this group, to include diverse villages, if we are to achieve civilization again. Hold off on the building of the wheel, for one more day, and travel to Ford's village. See what they are willing to offer / trade for iron, and what ideas they have..... If you can, speak with Toyadasan before going - see if you can understand what drives these two camps apart so that we might remove this impediment from our great mission of civilization. I look forward to your reports." Charles wanders from group to group visiting and speaking with different people..... Charles switched to shaw. "I would like you to work on assembling a defense guard, when you return from Ford's group... It would be best if Ford agrees to join us in normal trade, but if this breaks down, it would be very adventageous to know his strengths. I think you are the best person to judge these things. I do not wish to wage war. I prefer peace. but we must be prepared for these eventualities..." Charles switched to jeanne. "I would like to begin holding daily services in your most holy Chapel. Perhaps a short service in the morning and a more formal service at dusk ? Have you been met with any other christians here, who would partake of such service? While he have no shriven priest, and deeply mourn the passing of Father Gregori, That should not stop our worship. Will you ask anyone who is interested to join us? I will lead the service as best I am able." Charles switched to erich. "Would you work with Diana, and perhaps Culwyn, and any of the japenese with Toyodasan to assess what skills we have in this village? do we have anyone who has made paper from papyrus? These bamboo shoots might serve as a papyrus of sorts... I have seen it made, but alas, I have never made it and haven't the skill. We have a need for carpenters of a sort, for constructing huts, buildings and possible some fortifications. Are there any metalworkers, or former Mine workers here??" Charles continues his wandering and will speak at liberty to various people through out the evening and the next day.
