"Hi," Dolf started off, smoothly. "We have talked with you about communication before, but it's still a very important thing. Where I used to be, we had no phones or walkie-talkies or anything, but we still needed to make sure that everyone got the right messages. In a crisis, that can be really tough, but it's pretty much the most important thing you can do. If something happens to us, for example, we should all remember to talk to the same people so we know where everyone is. The question is... how do we do that?"
"We could have something like a phone tree," Tara said. "Only, y'know, without the phone part. But if we all know who we're supposed to check in with, it can be more efficient. Or signs. Signs telling people where to meet and check-in sheets can help, if everybody is coming back to the dorms at night. If we aren't all coming back to the dorms, we'd need to figure out a central space."
"The clinic may be a good place, or town hall, if we are not using the dorms," Raven agreed. "But it is important to keep in touch with one another so that we know if someone is missing and may require help, or to ensure that necessary tasks are taken care of in case of an emergency. And it is easier to plan this now, when there is no emergency, than to wait until, as they say, all hell is breaking loose."
The Arcerian kitten in her arms yawned in her own agreement, then resumed pawing at Raven's hair.
"So we will be talking about that, if you have any suggestions," Dolf continued, brightly, "And we will play charades, because it might be good practice if we can't use other ways to communicate."
