Greetings to you all!

I'm looking to start planning for an event, a festival for the solstice. It's not to replace any Christmas celebrations for those of you that have them, so it's not, it's just an additional day for merriment and folk are quite welcome to celebrate one or both.

The plan so far is to have a proper market-fair with all sorts of goods to sell, and mayhap those of you buying late Christmas gifts might appreciate it! Entertainment as well, and contests – we might have races, and games of skill, and mayhap even a riddle contest! Then in the evening a great feast, and then dancing, with real music.

The reason why I'm mentioning it so terrible early is that an event on this scale needs proper planning and to be sure I've not so much experience of that part. I'd like to set up a planning committee of sorts, mayhap three or four people who'd like to help out and work with me to make it a success. I reckon a proper festival is just what our little community needs to bring cheer to the darkest point of winter.

Have any of you any interest?

I've been learning what I can about this place.

It's not like Panem. Although-

There are kids with magic here. The Capitol would have loved that, having kids with magic to put in the Games. Entertaining, right?

A girl named Lily...I don't know what she is, a goddess, maybe? She said she could take all my pain away make me feel better in exchange for a favor.

She won't tell me what the favor is.

Should I do it? Who is she? She's evil, isn't she? Things too good to be true are usually evil.

Okay, I am trying to make up this pamphlet for newbie arrivals and have some questions for all of you.

What was the most helpful thing someone told you upon arrival?
What was the least helpful thing told to you?
What information would you have liked to have known upon arrival that you didn't find out until later on?

Answers, go!

I read back a bit that somebody posted a few weeks back about what the things are that we miss here the most.

I was thinking, it being November, and the month of Thanksgiving and all, that maybe we should tweak that a little, and think instead about the things here that we're most grateful for. There's got to be something we like about this place, no matter how little it is? A person we have here that we don't have back home. Something we don't have to face here...something that just brightens our day a little.

It's not been easy for any of us, being pulled out of our homes and brought to this place, but maybe by thinking of something good that's happened to us since we've been here, we can kind of pull together? Or maybe that's just sunny Summer thinking.

Anyway.

I'm grateful for Lily, and I love Hinkleburgers.

You said you'd help me.. with this cursed sickness of mine. It's starting. It always starts with a knot in my belly.

No Council

So there are a lot of us here now.

And there's been a great deal of focus on our differences, the things we don't like about each other, the things we fear about each other and the council.

But what there hasn't been is much discussion about things we may have in common. Things we may have in common include missing people or things from back home. Here's my challenge to you: what do you miss most about home?

I miss my mother.

[info]crossbowed

So, we've gotta pay for stuff here, then. But we can't get any decent jobs if we don't give 'em our blood. Which, as Georgia and Shaun have already said, would be a damned stupid idea. My blood's better stayin' just where it is.

So what the hell are we supposed to do? I don't need much, but unless ya want me shooting rabbits and squirrels in the park, I'm gonna need something.

I ain't against helpin' to defend the people here. But I ain't doing anything that everyone doesn't agree with. Seen too much of that sort of stuff go to hell in a handbasket.

Let's have a discussion.

Roland seems to have touched a nerve, so I'm officially asking everyone here:

1.) Do you feel unsafe? If so, who/what group are you worried about?
2.) If you do, why? Please mention whether or not this feeling is colored by previous experiences in your own timelines.
3.) What are some ideas you have for alleviating this problem, that you think could be implemented? We all have ideal solutions, but let's focus on pragmatics.

If you don't feel comfortable addressing some of these questions publically, feel free to either tell me privately in some way or say you don't feel comfortable. It's fine, but if you don't say anything at all, even to abstain from answering, we can't know your thoughts and consider them.

In terms of ideas, so far there's been Roland's suggestion of a protective force (which I object to, but I'm one vote). I'd also like to suggest the idea of escorting people, or setting up checks of some sort within the community for those who are interested.

Cry your pardon, but who are the peacekeepers here? I'm of a mind that we should have someone to protect us from the council's doings, as they seem to have strayed far from the path of the White, say true.

I reckon most here don't trust the local police, aye?

I'd not put myself forward unless asked, so I wouldn't, but something, I think, should be done, something that can be agreed on by all.

The city has got some unfair ideas of what a man's to do with himself. Find work, aye I'd find work if there's any to be had. Though skills such as mine aren't all that relative to the times and place. I'd wager there's not much in the way of tanners or stone quarries.

How's a man to find work?

I ought to tell everyone this.

I'm unwell and I'll be at the clinic a while. I want to confirm, for those of you concerned about such things, that the muggles from this town who are volunteering their time there have been very polite. Nobody has tried to restrain me or to hurt me in any way, and I've asked them clearly and had them explain to me just what their medicines do.

It's not a particularly pleasant place, but it's not that hospital either, so if you're ever in a similar situation you can take that into consideration.

I'm not going to be receiving visitors of any sort at the clinic, they've told me that's my decision to make. I'd very much appreciate if anyone thinking of doing so can wait and then call on me when I return home. Thank you.

I'm back at the apartment now, made it back safe, and I'm ready to start reading all I'll have to.

I don't rightly think that'd be the case if I hadn't had you watching over me, thankee-sai. Nowhere near so soon. I won't ever forget it, that you were perfect kind when I was so very...how I was.

I mean to tell ya that you're always welcome over at the apartment; stop by to stay a night or two somewhere warmer than the campsites or just for an evening's conversation and a hot meal whenever it might please you. You're a proper friend, so you are.

I want to thank everyone who has been kind to me. I need some time to think about things that have happened recently, so I'm going to go away for a little while. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything silly like hurt myself I can't for two weeks, anyway, but I just need some time.

Harry can track me if anyone really needs to find me.

Attention ladies and gentleman!

I am seeking plays, music, and differing types of entertainment for use in a sort of...variety show. I cannot help but think if we can engage the locals with an enjoyable outreach project, it can only be good for our reputation here. So I would like stories, tales, anything of the sort, from your homelands here, and singers, musicians and players to perform them.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like to participate.

If there's an infirmarian that knows aught of cures for this damnable sickness of mine I'd be indebted to you a lifetime.

If I'm left to endure it a third time I'll be naught but a corpse, as I'll have no mind left to return to. I'd sooner throw myself into the river than go another span of days with it.

There's a book on the table by the title of The Gunslinger. I'll not talk about it. Don't press me on it, for your father's sake. I can't...I've made notes in the High Speech. In the little notebook. Read them when you're well, say true. I'll be back...when I'm back. The medicines are in the kitchen, and enough food to last.

[info]ladyofwinter

You know, I don't like being kidnapped, and I don't really appreciate this place taking my dad away (even if I didn't talk to him much), but it could be a lot worse. I mean, I don't have to do any Winter stuff, there are people to talk to, it's not nearly so crowded and emotional as Chicago...

Things aren't perfect, but they could definitely be worse.

Three doesn't seem like near enough people to me, but I suppose it's something we didn't have before. If we do this well and responsibly, maybe we'll be given more?

Anyway, I think we need to think carefully about who to send, and do this by consensus if at all possible.

To help out, I'll keep a list of nominations here, and you can discuss their merits and the drawbacks.

So at this point, who has been nominated? And what categories of people should we be certain to represent?

Holy Mother in all my years I've not seen a peace keeper drive a man from the woods and back into the city proper. It's always been they're keen to push the sorry souls as far from respectable people as possible, else our indecency offend their delicate sensibilities.

Makes no sense to a man of my learning that he'd be charged a fee and told a place he could lay his head even in the wilds. If I'd had the coin to spare I'd take a room in a tavern and have a girl to boot. I'll not pay to lay my head on the ground.

It seems that a good deal of the trouble was caused by a child and his weapons. And because of that, they're punishing the magic users.

I've got a better idea - why don't we take the weapons away from ordinaries? There are far more of them, and the magic users haven't hurt anyone.

I've not been in the market for a wife, I can't be so shackled, but this one's gone a long way toward it. I haven't a clue what the purpose is of half these items are or why I need them.

I have a splitting headache. If anyone else has one at the moment, I'm probably sorry. I feel like I've been sitting beneath the stage of a The Kingsmen concert whilst dragging a yowling cat's nails across a belligerent student's chipped blackboard... for the last eight years of my life.

Does anyone have a box of Panadol and a bottle of whisky I can destroy myself with? It would be much appreciated.
