Good day, fellow hapless idiots caught up in this mess.
Some of you may know me. My name is Bai Mingyu for those who speak enough Chinese not to butcher it and Gabriel to those who don't. I'm 25, Canadian, from the year 2018, and a Taurus.
I understand we have some pressing financial concerns.
We also have organizational issues, of the 'we don't have any' variety. So I propose a census.
Please state your name, age, and whatever other information you feel pertinent such as place and time of origin and skills, and I will add you to a roster. You are welcome to opt out, but in that case I will promptly stop what little investment I have in your personhood to focus our collective resources on people with a willingness towards cooperation.
In other words, I'm not going to bother with you if you're going to be a pain in the ass.
You may find me in my quarters if you would like to look at the roster at any time. I consider it a matter of semi-public record, at least as the people in the roster are concerned.
Once I have a tally, I will update with an expected minimum contribution per party towards the 100,000 pieces necessary to take our next steps.
I believe we should also have a forum to share what we know of our situation thus far. Just to very briefly skim my own knowledge, I know few of us are from the same time or even same planet. I've met approximately one person who could place Canada on a map, which actually isn't that odd, the worse bit being no one will understand that joke. The census should help gather more of that data and we can decide how to proceed from there.
Thank you for your time.

He's not expecting any new information being shared through a census. Then when '2020' gets thrown out, it's all he can do to not be significantly distracted with evidence of a new instance of the timeline -- but he'll get back to that obsession in a minute. ]
Status report.

no subject
14 names, spotty details. You're welcome to come over and map things out with what I've gathered if you like.

I'm on my way.
[ Fair warning. Anyone else and he might just have appeared in their room, but he's a special case. Not to mention he hasn't given himself enough time to rest. Because there isn't any.
Five hangs out in the hall and stares at the ceiling just long enough to pick up on anyone else occupying the room. A knock comes not long after. ]
