[open to investigators]
So, uh, unrelated to all that grant stuff [ACADEMIA, he does not understand you] - this is the first place we've been in a while with any sort of tech, it might be worthwhile to grab more portable stuff - flashlights, two-way radios, stuff like that. And lots of batteries.
And is there anyone good at building stuff? I've got a favor to ask.

[ It's completely possible he understands at least ...some of that already. But he might not, you don't know. ]
no subject
[99% of you are barbarians to him, okay] Flashlights make light, but without flame, so you don't have to worry about setting anything on fire. Radios let you talk to other people across distances - like this, but not in our heads.
no subject
[ That's a funny word, batteries. ]
no subject
Yeah.
....Do you know what electricity is?

[ If it is possible for 'delight' to transfer along psychic connections and whatnot, Hawke is definitely, definitively (alliteratively) delighted, both by the question and being able to answer in the affirmative, to a degree. ]
Near as I can work out it seems to be when you put lightning in pipes.

Yeah, sure. I have to see what they have for supplies, anyway - wouldn't want to leave them with nothing when we're gone.

[So so cheerily--
until he realizes, after a brief mental pause.

Er, what sorts of things are you looking for?
no subject
Simple stuff, like I said. [There's a pause, and then - ] ....Do you know what 'electricity' is?
[He's asking that question a lot, isn't he.]

Depends on your definition of 'technology'. Some are pretty modern - computers, space travel, stuff like that. A lot are simpler though - cars and simple appliances at best, much less cellphones.
And it would be - but if I can think of a way to compensate them for it, I'll do that instead.
no subject
Please don't take anything unless you can pay them for it, somehow! The people here seem to need most of what they have.
no subject
You think cars are less dangerous than cellphones? [He doesn't seem entirely serious, just a touch amused] But a lot of places don't even have basic communication tech outside couriers or paper mail.
And I'm not going to rob them blind - but payment may have to be in trade.

Is there a place where we can buy the stuff we need? [sakura no] ...I've been helping out a little and I have some money!
[like... ten dollars in spare change maybe]
no subject
The Tech department might have supplies stores - I'm sure the students need things like this sometimes, too. I'll see what I can find out. [no he's not letting you spend that money you sound way too young]
We haven't met, have we.

Oh, no -- [if she could mentally bow over a telepathic connection then she would] my name's Sakura Kinomoto! I arrived during the Jaunt in Dolorosa.
[and she definitely does sound eleven tbh]

Ahh. I'm Toshizou Hijikata, but you may have, uh, met the other one already.

[ Here's the barbarian, right on time. ]
Perhaps you could draw a picture, so I ensure I have the correct item?
no subject
[You can hang out with the barbarian who described electricity as 'lightning in tubes'!] Kind of a lousy artist, unfortunately - it'd probably be simpler if I showed you them once I found some.

I can store stuff in Liminal Space. Not a whole lot, but hopefully enough.

Yeah, it's tech. Simple tasers, basically.
[He wants one to give to Chizuru, but if there's more for the other non-fighters to defend themselves - well, that's probably good too]
no subject
I can do that! How many you need?
no subject
Minimum one, but if it won't tax the resources here, a few more would be good, for the people who aren't trained to fight.
