Madison Valley Role Play

I'm not working today.

If anyone's passing near the church maybe you could stop in for a visit? I could do with...conversation.

Okay, first there's the nemetoad nemeton ordeal, my son and his friends decided to become alternative sacrifices and now, when all I need in life is a glass of wine and Patrick Dempsey, I ended up here?

Scott, what did you and Stiles break exactly?

Would you like to come over in the morning for breakfast? I'm thinking of making three different flavored pancakes with different fruits and breakfast meets.

WHO: Klaus Mikaelson and Clara Oswin
WHAT: Match-up!
WHERE: Store
WHEN: Friday evening
STATUS: Ongoing
WARNINGS: TBD

Klaus now had a teenage girl staying with him, add in now his brother and the wolf girl were here. He was going to have a full house. Really he should tell Marley what she was going to be living with at this point. Except he was unsure about that himself, maybe she would turn out to be a council spy. One sent to find out who he was, why else choose him over a woman no one uttered a unkind word about?

He would shake those thoughts off soon enough, after he got to know this teenage girl he was responsible for. If by responsible you meant she could come and go as she pleased, and if someone hurt he he'd hurt them. He was picking up some things she'd need, such as food and girly bathroom frills. Which simply meant he was tossing anything girly smelling into a basket. Yeah, that was Klaus, next time Marley would end up having to get her own stuff. At least he is not mortifying her by buying tampons or that other nonsense.

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.

Okay. This is so Lissa and everyone else can't say I didn't consider all my options properly.

To everyone considering being a volunteer guardian for kids

Hi. I'm Leisha. I'm eleven, I live at the church and I work at my own stall in town. I want to know if any of you are in any way suitable to be my guardian. If the way I'm phrasing this offends you, you're not suitable.

If you're suitable, you need to be:

- a libertarian or whatever your world's equivalent is, I don't need an exact match but I want some values in common
- not opposed to young people working, since I'm not giving up my stall
- willing to at least consider co-signing business contracts with me. I don't mean you have to sign everything I put in front of you but if you're thinking now that you'd never consider it, you can stop reading.
- used to dealing with gifted kids, I test at a genius level in 2019, after all us genemodded kids have messed with the scale a bit and you need to be able to deal with my intellectual level and needs not matching my chronological age.
- rational. I don't deal well with people being overly emotional or acting irrationally and those people tend not to like me and it just ends up a bad situation and might just frighten me and/or give you a substance abuse problem. Just don't.
- productive in some way, doesn't have to be formal employment but it's important you're doing something
- not freaked out by genemodding or me being from the future
- capable of dealing with a young person who doesn't sleep. Seriously. Don't guess at this if you're not sure. Guessing at this kind of thing does genemodded kids psychological and in some cases physical harm. Locking me in a room for 8 hours so you can sleep is not an option unless you'd do that to a Sleeper kid during the day in which case you're just a bad parent.

So.

Anyone?

Didn't think so.

Lissa, Georgia and I have taken your concerns into consideration and discussion. In response for a request of our intentions we're releasing a brief statement of issues we deemed important and will therefore address at the first Council meeting.

The issues follow as:
- Guardianship for those under 18
- The ban of magic
- Use of the hospital facilities
- New arrivals

1. Guardianship.

We propose that financially stable Refugees present become guardians for any new arrivals under 18 years of age. You'll also be given first priority if a member of your family arrives, financial status notwithstanding. In order for this to be effective we've determined that volunteers should step forward if you're willing and able to take on a child. You should tell us the age group you're comfortable with, if you're comfortable with magic users, and how many children you are able to care for. In addition, the children already present should be given a choice about coming under the guardianship of Refugees or staying with their assigned family.

2. Magic ban.

We're against the ban of magic as a whole and will appeal to the Council to remove it entirely.

3. The hospital.

We've agreed that our population should be permitted to use the hospital services, as the separation from hospital to clinic has split resources and left the city as a whole exposed to health concerns that effect us all, Refugee and local alike.

4. New arrivals.

Given the treatment by the city many of us receive upon arrival, we're requesting that one of our number be present during the initial welcoming phases with new arrivals. We need several volunteers to be on hand for this task as new arrivals appear in the city at any hour.

- Cesare Borgia, Lissa Dragomir, Georgia Mason

I heard on the police scanner that they caught the guy who beat up Fix. Arrested him.

I thought everyone should know that - the police did what they were supposed to do, even when it came to protecting one of us.

I don't know what's going on with this kid that Dresden brought home last night, but I'm of the opinion that we need to step up and make sure they don't make those mistakes before they even happen. We need to be proactive on this, instead of sitting back and letting them have the first move.

I think we need to...be more involved with the process of arrivals, too. We need to be more proactive on this, instead of sitting back and letting them have the first move.

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.

WHO: Roland Deschain and OPEN!
WHAT: Shopping
WHERE: Walmart
WHEN: Thursday afternoon
STATUS: Open/Ongoing
WARNINGS: TBD, likely low

( ~+~+~+~+~+~ )

I'm thinking that there needs to be somewhere around here that could use a governess for show that will fight to protect any of the underage refugees here who the Council deem need a guardian? I can list plenty of references for the job.

Who among us has medical training of any sort? I think it would perhaps be prudent if we set up our own medical facility, perhaps in the church, in case these doctors tire of healing us as well.
