Who: Theora, Dylan, Constance (Narrative)
When: Evening
Where: Town Hall
What: Town Meeting about the orphans

There had been many town meetings in Helicharis as of late. The scouting mission had been the main reason for these as the Head Council felt the need to keep the citizens informed about anything concerning their trip outside. A lot had happened recently, the most significant of these though dealt with the orphans that were brought in from their trip. Survivors of the virus and the war, alone and afraid and with no one to care for them except the doctors and nurses at the Medical Pavilion. Most of them had bonded over their arduous journey to Elysium and while the Head Council was sure that the children would be more than happy to live together in the Medical Pavilion it was agreed that it was not in the best interest of the orphans.

They would need families to take care of them, families filled with love and caring that they no doubt missed ever since their own families were taken from them. This was the Council's foremost concern. They didn't want the children to live in the Medical Pavilion, they wanted them to go out into the town and actually live with some of the other families. But the Council also realized that they couldn't force the current citizens to take on the orphans, if anything the citizens would have to volunteer for such a responsibility.

Theora stood before the curious onlookers and began to speak. "Thank you all for attending this meeting today. What we have to discuss with you is of great importance and we hope that you would lend us your ears about this matter. Today we would like to discuss the fate of the orphan survivors that we rescued beyond these mountains. These children are currently residing within the Medical Pavilion, but they cannot stay there forever. We would like to ask if any of our fellow citizens are interested in becoming a foster family for the children. You will have the opportunity to meet with them before hand if you are interested in this opportunity. The children are doing fine at the moment, but it is the belief of the Council that they would be happiest in a proper home."

Theora eyed the crowd and watched their reaction and waited to see if anyone would open up their home for one of the orphaned children.
