Madison Valley Role Play

Thank you to everyone who helped me settle in here, I am most grateful. This place is still terribly confusing and everything is very new to me, but all of your kindness has helped it be quite so scary, I think.

I was terribly remiss in introducing myself earlier, and I'd like to fix that, if I may? My name is Briseis, daughter of Briseus, and I hail from the city of Lyrnessus, in the land that we called Troy. I have not been there in many terrible years, but it will always be my home.

This place...seems very lovely and it's nice to be in a place without war and death all around me.

So I'm going to ask people who have more experience of this time period and its...education system than I do.

Joining a school sports team. Good idea? Or bad idea? I want to know what I'm signing up for.

School's okay. Pointless. But okay.

I think it's going to snow soon. I can feel it.

And no, I didn't do it, Harry. It's almost winter.

Would anyone like a snowball? The edible kind.

What the hell?

Thank you very much, Twilight Zone of a life.

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.

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.

For those of you attending the Halloween party, would you feel more or less comfortable inviting locals to come, if they want to?

I, personally, think it might be a good opportunity to mingle in a less stressful environment.

I think I have put a huge dent in the Tabasco sauce supply.

WHO: Tobias Eaton, Open
WHAT: Tobias is just restless
WHERE: Out and about
WHEN: Close to midnight
WARNINGS: None, save some book spoilers

Tobias needed to just get away, get out for a little. The longer he was here, the longer he worried about things back home. Don't get him wrong, he was happy as a clam that Tris was here. Yet with everything going on with the council, it was hard to even feel at ease about anything. He was constantly on guard, wanting to protect Tris (even if she could take care of herself) and he didn't sleep much. If at all some nights. Tonight was one of those nights so he went out for a walk.

He had no rhyme or reason of where he was going, he was simply...walking. Unsure of what to do, he did know one thing. He loved Tris and she was here.

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.

Further to discussion after my previous message, the nominees for youth representative candidate are:

Cuthbert Allgood

Lissa Dragomir

Kvothe

Voting is now open. I've attached a link to a secure site where you can cast your vote. You can only vote once, and your vote is secret. If you're a candidate, you can vote for yourself. In fact it would be odd if you didn't.

Voting closes in 24 hours at which point we'll offer official support to the successful candidate.

Citizens and Refugees of Madison Valley

Because of the recent violence that has taken place at King's Daughters Hospital, and the protest and refusal of many of the doctors and administration there to continue to treat refugees who threaten them, injure them, or destroy their premises, the Hospital can now be considered off limits to all refugees.

A Refugee's Clinic will be opened at the location of the old Madison Clinic, staffed with doctors not involved in the protest, to treat the illnesses and injuries of refugees.

Also, due to recent events, the use of magic is now banned in Madison Valley. Those who are found violating this law will be subject to 90 days in prison and/or a fine of $10,000.

Thank you, and have a nice day.
