International Women's Day

[afterthesky]

Who: The non-drone women of Mayfield
What: Feminism Club
Where: The pirate ship at 7134 Brooks
When: International Women's Day (March 8th)
Warnings: None at this time. I imagine some foul language may come up.

The pirate ship is ready for the women of Mayfield to celebrate being more than the town expects them to be. Sarah Jane will approach anyone arriving before they really get talking.

((OOC: So mingle away, Mayfield ladies! I'll make threads for some of the general topics Sarah Jane wanted to discuss, but feel free to start up threads for anything your characer wants to bring up.))

Initial meet and greet

[afterthesky]

Good to see you come out.

Workarounds

[afterthesky]

Those of us who have been here a while have found ways around some of the limitations. This is something we should share.

LIterature

[afterthesky]

Would anyone be interested in a book exchange? Something that isn't about cooking.

[ooeeooahah]

Wouldn't miss this.

[ooeeooahah]

I haven't gotten anything from home, yet. I'm willing to transcribe books for extra copies, though.

[sir_hellsing]

It's good to finally put a face to the name, Ms Smith. Thank you for organizing this.

[ooeeooahah]

I am a psychiatrist back home. Here, there's no women in the ranks of doctors. However, I am currently operating out of my basement, on a pro bono basis.

I've been working on a way to get the proper medications prescribed, but leaning toward counseling and lifestyle changes.

[mal_addict]

Couldn't just let it go on without me.

[afterthesky]

It's definitely been a long time coming.

[afterthesky]

You're welcome. It seemed like something we could really use here.

[afterthesky]

Glad to have you here.

[icyidol]

I needed something to do.

[afterthesky]

It's a common problem. Hopefully we can come up with some solutions.

[magicalrealist]

I made it! Thanks for the invitation, Sarah!

[mal_addict]

Glad to be here. [Glancing around] Quite the turnout.

[magicalrealist]

I worked as a librarian back home and volunteer at Mayfield's library; I don't have any books of my own, but I can organize the exchanges and keep the records. Once I get my magic back, I can also start writing copies of books.

[afterthesky]

You're welcome. It seemed like something we all need.

[afterthesky]

I think I hit a nerve. It's not entirely surprising.

[outlandished]

Well, 'course -- it's me ship after all, ain't it?

[outlandished]

As wonderfully dim th' drones are 'round here, I'm sure they'll catch up one day or another on me. Lately, I've been stealin' what I need, like ammo, guns 'n everythin' else like tha'.

I've found tha' impersonation can work, especially if ye do it well.

[soulless_soldier]

Um, I do carpentry stuff, so if anyone needs stuff built, I can do it for ya. I've been collecting parts and supplies by goin' to the hardware store 'n' sayin' it's for my "dad". If anyone's got spare stuff you don't need, let me know.

[soulless_soldier]

[Barton is totally impressed by the pirate ship. She's wandering about looking everything over.]

Oh. Thanks.

[likeahex]

So far I've just been using violence.


...it works.

[mal_addict]

A lot of women want change. It's encouraging.

[hontobakabaka]

You can't take them off of my ship, just due to the fact that they're all holographic renditions, but I have a large data collection of film and literature there.
